    Hi everyone and thanks for all the amazing work on this, I tried the upgrade during the week end on OnePlus3T, i only noticed two things : -The front camera view was upside down, but photographs were still properly oriented (no issue with rear camera) -Dekko2 got stuck at boot, only displaying a white screen, i saw that this has already been reported, so i guess you dont need logs for this, tell me if you do, i will try to add it, Again big thanks for all your work!

    @doniks I think that was the missing link for me, thanks! I didn't consider that I could just build new debs for those projects and install them to test. Much appreciated! And as for the kernel stuff, thank you for that too! I will play around with installing a new kernel.

    The (better) Android vendors seem to think it is worthwhile... and Google is using it in their flagship phones I think. But yeah just a suggestion, might end up to be not worth the effort.

    True some phones might have space issue. But in the end we are talking about what? 400 Vs 800 mb or so? Most phones will be fine with that easily. But anyways, could be optional, and A/B booting would definitely make RW hacking much easier as the video presenter also explains. But my main though is that this has a high chance of being more standardized as a normal way of booting Linux (Since Collabora and Valve are working on it), so it might be worth considering for Ubports to get behind this effort and thus build on upstream components in the future.

    Ok, I have now a fresh flashed Oneplus 3t dev and I installed the GStreamer-droid based camera. In the camera app I see always a 2:2 layout but the pictures I shoot are in the layout I set (16:9 in my example). Screenshot: [image: 1604927264339-screen.png] Picture from the same position: [image: 1604927275434-bild.png] Anybody else with this problem? How could I fix this?

    Not only the above but also, ARM doesnt work like that, even with arm mini computers, arm based laptops, and eventually arm based desktops, need a image purposefully designed for the hardware. You cant boot generic Ubuntu on the raspberry pi, you have to download ubuntus specific raspberry pi image.

    @cliffcoggin said in What were scopes?: namely a way to arrange apps into folders or categories on the desktop: communications into one, maps & navigation into another, utilities into a third and so on. This is not what they did. To arrange apps the app drawer will be the place for such evolution. Scopes brought content arrangement, actual images or audio files, they acted more like a search engine for various kind of content. A scope for Yelp could return restaurants nearby. a scope for foursquare was able to search for restaurants, monuments or hotels...

    Hi @Fla, It is unfortunate that we didn't find that in time for OTA-13, but since it is already in stable I don't believe it is a reason to cancel this update.

    @domubpkm I'm not sure what it's doing exactly, but a quick look at the code looks like it could certainly be transitioned to Morph.Web and QtWebEngine, perhaps it also needs to use webchannels or websockets for what it's doing.

    @lduboeuf We are not using systemd itself on 16.04, and the kernel version requirement is a bit of a misunderstanding. This update still doesn't mean we're using systemd for the init system. However, the systemd source provides many things which we do need, such as udev. Newer kernels are only required for some features of systemd, and newer versions of systemd may require newer kernels, hence the comments relating those two as a concern, along with the need to upgrade to 20.04.
  • Why no global BACK button/swipe motion?

    It is not like a global back command would suddenly solve this problem; every app would need to implement what 'back' means to it. The inconsistent nature of what back means on an Android system is always a frustration to me, and I think it solves fewer problems than it causes. Sure in Morph it would be very obvious what back does, but I'd argue that an option to move the navigation bar to the bottom edge would be more useful. Half of the apps I regularly use don't have an obvious 'back' action; what should 'back' do when I'm viewing maps in Pure Maps, or when typing into the calculator? I agree with others that each app should consider this as oppsed to forcing a global option. Back and Home are UI hangovers that have been improved away by the Lomiri UI.

    Maybe a box with title “Daily Tip”, in the box something like: “(HOW-TO) Take a screenshot“, next line “(click to visit user guide)” Text would be a link pointing to the relevant item. A Daily Tip would reveal hidden features, but also be a great way to make people aware of a guide!

    @mardy Yes, this is not a regression caused by the new media hub. This behavior was present from the start.

    @alan_g it sure is. Now that the issue is public though, it makes it even more important to release OTA13 to bring the patch to stable users.
