    @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

    I've updated the "Mount_WaydroidHome.sh" script, so the WaydroidHome folder is writable from Ubuntu Touch (without using sudo): #!/bin/bash ## Set-up commands #mkdir ~/WaydroidHome #chmod 755 ~/WaydroidHome #sudo chmod 777 ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0 ## Bind mount Waydroid's home folder if it's not already mounted, and then ensure it (and all sub-folders) stay read/write-able by the Ubuntu Touch user set -e /usr/bin/findmnt -rno SOURCE,TARGET /home/phablet/WaydroidHome >/dev/null || /usr/bin/mount --bind /home/phablet/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0 /home/phablet/WaydroidHome while /usr/bin/true; do /usr/bin/sleep 5 if [[ ! "$(/usr/bin/stat -c "%a" /home/phablet/WaydroidHome)" == *7 ]]; then /usr/bin/find /home/phablet/WaydroidHome -type d ! -perm -o+rwx -print0 | /usr/bin/xargs -0 -I {} /usr/bin/chmod o+rwx '{}' fi done WARNING: The above scripts work for me, but I haven't tested it thoroughly, or even for that long, and it may contain security flaws. It is (as I said before) just a 'quick hack'. In the spirit of open source, I hope other people will provide improvements to it.
  • Differences between Nexus 4 models?

    Thanks for all the responses and the breakdown of models. My main criteria for a phone is different than most people, I never use social media, seldom access the Internet and mostly just want reliable phone service and texting without invasive ads, some note taking and decent photos. Size is most crucial, I just want it to fit comfortably in my front pocket - and I don't want to spend much more than $50. The Nexus 4 is just over this size, but it's the smallest I can find that supports UT at this time. I had been using a WebOS Palm Pixi for the longest time, still the best phone I have owned. I have not noticed overheating problems but again I don't really use my phone that much during the course of the day. UT runs fine, maybe not super speedy but not any slowness that I find noticeable. I have a handful of other issues that irk me but I want to have a phone to clone so I can safely re-install UT to see if that clears any of them up. I will pick up another E960 and continue to experiment with alternate OSs. I like UT but still curious to see how something like Paranoid Android works. It also supports the Nexus 4. Thanks again, really appreciate the advice

    Afaik there is no such tool available. I searched for this when I switched from Android to UT and I was unsuccessful. But maybe things on this matter have evolved...

    Thanks for the help. I have tried that, it is a little bit better but not very good. I have also tried to install the latest LineageOS and the WIFI works flawlessly. So it is not a hardware issue. Enabling only 2.4GHz Wifi does not help.

    @juergen67 Can you try this for me. Run the installer and install the dev channel (without wipe) Then test your phone again. This used to fix the odd issue on nexus 5's. Dev is very stable these days so don't worry to much, and will have had daily builds since OTA-11. If it works great. You can stay on dev for a bit or go back to stable by rerunning the installer and the fix should stay. If you really don't fancy dev just reinstall stable using the installer and see if that does it. If you still have issues after this lets try something else but really it's probably best to stay on 11 if you can. Edit: Sorry use system settings to update to dev. System settings, Updates, update settings at the very bottom. As for usb connection double check dev mode etc is on and just in case keep an eye out for the allow connection box on the phone. None of that should have changed but it won't hurt to check. Then try a few other cables that would be the first place I would try.

    @dobey Thank you very much for clarifying this doubt, we have illusions for Ut but we do not know what makes it work, when we have that possibility, would be very good to have that option to put exFAT to Ut, Regards...

    @mooncosmique , hello! You can use TWRP. If you have it, go to the backup directory and make backup all your system. Backup will be save on phone disk space. If you want make only contacts backup go by the link /home/phablet/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db and copy this file to pc.
