    @hlbkv gnome software can handle debs and flatpaks (and on Ubuntu also snaps I think). The app itself is a deb, so it is not surprising that it can be installed. The apps that end up being able to be installed with it are probably also debs.

    Just an update, I gave up on trying the KDEConnect workaround. I did some deep investigation on resolving the issue within Waydroid itself, and documented my progress. It's definitely a feature-request in Waydroid. https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/211 I haven't done any more work on it for a while, since my last post on github. There are a few libs being used in Waydroid, which I linked to, which have sparse documentation. I don't have deep enough knowledge of these languages and platforms to be able to fix this easily - not to mention android's workflow for builds. Wasn't able to do a build of LineageOS on my PC; some incompatibility with package versions. It'd be nice to resolve this for everybody who uses Waydroid, but IRL is taking priority for now.

    You can install apps manually, but to use hash verification you'll also need the sha512 hash from the store. From your PC with the device connected to USB and Developer Mode enabled and authenticated, you can run: adb push *.click adb shell "(pkcon install-local --allow-unauthenticated *.click && rm *.click)" This will copy the click files you've downloaded to your device, and then install and remove them from the device.

    hi dobey, thank you very much for clearing this up! that said … bummer! actually, i got this phone only because i hoped, i could use it not as phone, but as a development tool. pretty much like a raspberry pi but with battery, cameras, screen, connectivity and sensors all in one nifty packet … but ok, if all hardware is only exposed to qt, that certainly will not work. : ( one question though: i have seen here on the forums, that there is a community dedicated to get ubuntu touch to run on raspberry pis … might there also exist something like this, but in reverse? like some sort of unix (cli/ssh would be perfectly sufficient) running on (and being able to fully leverage) phone hardware? in any way, again: thank you so much for helping me out! karl

    noobie OnePlus WiFi issue

    There is a bug report for this issue here: OnePlus One wifi switch after OTA6 #995 Specifically this comment: WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini One needs to enable developer mode in settings. Then connect with a device with adb tools installed. Then: adb shell Once you're in the shell: sudo mount -o remount,rw / That is to mount the root partition read/write. Now you can replace or edit the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file. The one mentioned in #995 was sufficient to get wifi working for me. Hope this helps

    @michal :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: Good to know. In the link provided there are special code to enable or disable masking the number. Depending on your country you can use the same code to switch from hidden to visible or you can have a code to hide your number and another to reveal it. Glad your problem is solved.

    I have tried the 'sledge-hammer' approach: delete all email accounts, uninstall Dekko2, clear residual Dekko files in .cache and in .config, reboot, reinstall, re-set up one IMAP account, and ...... same situation! [This is all on a brand-new (one week ago) installation of UT on a Nexus 5.] PS Whilst rummaging through the file store I spotted folders relating to Evolution. Is this just some random hangover from Canonical's original ambitions, or is some version of Evolution available on UT?

    @MarkG_108 I have this link that may help : https://mimecar.gitbooks.io/ubuntu-touch-programming-course/content/en/chapter-05-s01.html And on a larger scale I always start here : https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/index.html# If you want to try making the app I can help you, but I don't have time yet to do it myself. The first step is to familiarize yourself with QML language. Once you're comfortable with it, try to connect to a database following the tutorial. Then it will be adjustments... Which is no smal part ^^

    I think you should install the operating system again, with the Ut installer you can do it. download the installer to your computer, install it . Save all the data you have on the phone before installation, greetings...

    @MarkG_108 Yes indeed I didn't look at UT Media's code before. I guess you can make a QML container for UT Media's code, or maybe there is something in JS, but I don't know much about it. QML and C++ I can do, web technologies is like ancient greek for me ^^ It's a question for the UBPorts app development group : https://t.me/UbuntuAppDevEN

    @DimoAlex If you want the latest versions of system components, then switch to the devel channel, which gets built daily. As Ingo stated, apt is not a supported method of upgrading the system or installing apps. UT is a phone OS, and not a traditional PC Linux distribution, so it is designed more around the hardware and security requirements of mobile devices.
