    @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

    Hi Zaito, so sorry for delay, I have only just logged on in ages. I tested it on GS5 only - installed UT 24.04 because it was the only way to make phonecalls when 3g packed up. Nothing I did enabled Waydroid to persist. Meaning that if waydroid was closed for any reason, you couldn't reboot it without a completely fresh installation. This rectified in June with a new UT update. Everything works well in both UT and Waydroid with one exception; there is no clipboard on waydroid. Which means you cannot copy or paste anything in any circumstances. If I need waydroid copy facilities I have to use another phone running UT20.04. Hope all is well.

    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:

    @domubpkm I guess, the osk option does keep formatting. tedit option inserts text only.

    Hi @Br1 . Could you please update your very useful script for Noble ? I'm still using your last focal script which works yet with Noble, but with an error. Thanks in advance. [image: 1763727360633-screenshot20251019_195605222.png]

    @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]]' ".....

    @RJDan Not while using encryption, because all the info needed for the functions you care about are inaccessible until after your home folder is decrypted.

    @gpatel-fr said in Newbee trying hard, got a no space issue: while your phone is a 'reference device', it don't have a lot of recent issues and that could mean that it's not widely used anymore. With 3 circles in community strength, it means Pixel 3A is currently one of the most used devices (with Fairphone 4).
