    @Alain This featute isn't in UT/Lomiri yet. Simplest way is to make something like a home screen app and there are some that exists already like Launcher Modular. Not sure they have app groups though. You can contribute to them if you don't want to make your own. However, they obviously act like a normal app. Best you can do is pin it to the Launcher for easy access. Or you can contribute to Lomiri and implement it in the App drawer which definitely needs some love There's even a bounty for it so there's money to get

    @fair Which phone is this? This is usually an issue with media playback that doesn't use media hub such as webapps. I guess Waydroid has the same problem, when you lock the device, apps get suspended. Interesting that Waydroid is also affected considering that it doesn't really suspend. I assume your phone has proper deep sleep so apps don't just suspend, the device goes into low power mode that processes like Waydroid can't function properly anymore.

    And here a little success story on combining the Clickable Snap & the Docker Snap, allowing to build AND test a click package directly on the device (in this case a JingPad). Photo courtesy of Sander: [image: 1762635258156-photo_2025-11-05_21-28-47-resized.jpg]

    I misread and thought it said Redmi Note 7 (lavender) which is on the installer. It has slightly different hardware to the Redmi Note 7 pro.... Apologies (full of cold). :disappointed_face:

    @d4f0 @messayisto thanks for your replies, I'm beginning to think that there is nothing wrong neither in force-adb nor in systemd (!) and the problems comes from the device tree of the FP5, that is, the kernel configuration. Changing force-adb could be an easy work around but mostly wrong. I'll try to explore the FP5 kernel code to see if I can find the problem all by myself (enthusiasm level: ) Edit: created this gitlab issue to make the problem more visible.

    To enter Fastboot, one has to pus Volume UP and hold it, then power on the device while pressing volume up until the bootmenu appears. UBports is buggy at this step IMO, but once you enter fastboot manually the flashing begins. Only after the tablet is in fastboot does UBports tell you how to activate it. So for anyone reading this in the future, download UBports, enable Developer mode on the tablet (Ubuntu Touch doesn't have OEM locking), connect, then when the tablet shuts down, boot into fastboot and it should continue.

    @nparafe That device's kernel is too old for using cgroupv2 and eBPF to mediate device access, it's advised in the port to set the kernel cmdline systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 and recompile the kernel image. Please tell your device maintainer about this.

    @messayisto my phone has an IPv4 address and can access the store just fine - if the store was not compatible with IPv4 they would have heard of it as open-store.io does not even have an IPv6 address. Maybe it's a problem with your phone provider, configuration of a CGN or network routing, the full path to the destination will usually not be controlled by them, these problems can't be checked locally. If you can't connect at all with a browser, maybe they'd be interested enough to investigate; use Firefox since Morph will not be known to them.

    @nielsbasjes said in Enabling MAC randomization: none (not even the current one) Now, even when I don't see the other access points, which is quite often when I swipe out the settings and come back in it, I always see my own access point with "Connected" in green. Like I said, I only see the other access points when first enabling Wifi (and it don't crash the phone, but that's another story). I'm curious how it appears, could you share a screenshot please ?

    @wally said in GPS location does not work anymore in webview (Noble): @pparent Is it just failing to give a location, or is it freezing or crashing? There's a long topic about location-related freezes and crashes here, in case that's relevant to your situation. Seemed like a weird problem, or weird problems, to pin down. Different people had different reports. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8930/20-04-focal-unav-freezes-with-gps-enabled It's freezing! I will make a bug report. I think it is probably related to compass/orientation. Because in Pure Maps if I enable compass I have the same problem, but if I disable it, it works. And in my logs it reports "qtmir.sensor: PlatformScreen[0x558e3f63c0]::customEvent() - unknown orientation." when accessing to the position in the app. But location should work in a webview even if somehow the compass does not work. (Which is strange because in my case compass apps do work.

    Finally found the issue, for some reason the tls key was wrong (dont even ask, have no idea how that happened)........ @Luksus Didnt rebbot after turning volte off but doesnt seem to effect the vpn. /edit Well ping doesnt go through the tunnel but normal web traffic does, openvpn could really have a bit more clearer error messages. Like "Invalid tls key" or something instead of and obtuse " Insufficient key material or header text not found in file '[[INLINE]]' ".....
