    @projectmoon The main problem that currently prevents using Wayland for electron apps, is that the On-Screen-Keyboard cannot work with GTK+Wayland+Mir1.x . By the way the Merezhyvo Browser ( popriatary app ! ) is an electron app using Wayland, but it has found it's way around this problem by coding it's own OSK inside the app itself, which is not really a way I want to go. (Especially for Signal because I want to modify the code only as strictly necessary, and also because for Signal there are other problems when it comes to using it in Wayland mode with Mir1.x). Anyway I've already tried it (see in the Signal UT topic), and reallu the best is to wait for Mir2.x, I hope it won't be in too long.

    When you uninstall an Android app (that removes the app in the android container), the corresponding Ubuntu Touch icon on the app scope will still be there and needs to be removed manually (for now?). Those are stored in /home/phablet/.local/share/applications/ and IIRC all Android apps starter files begin with anbox (or was it android or apk?; you'll get it once you see it ).

    @haveaniceday said in Encryption and vpn: What do you think? Do you know how we can receive a passphrase during boot time via user interaction? PostmarketOS uses OSK-SDL to accept encryption password input on touchscreen devices during startup. If you're good with C++, you might have a look at the code on Gitlab. I'm still slowly working my way back into coding after many years of only scripting and am sadly not up to the challenge of seeing how that could be integrated to the Ubuntu Touch boot process. Bear in mind that even if you can unlock a crypt on startup, integrating this into the UBPorts installer is going to be another large challenge. @haveaniceday said in Encryption and vpn: Maybe those files are what you are looking for: https://github.com/ubports/unity8/blob/xenial/qml/Components/PinLockscreen.qml https://github.com/ubports/unity8/blob/xenial/qml/Components/Lockscreen.qml Thanks, I'll take a look. Maybe it's not too hard to integrate a counter there and link to a shutdown or nuke script.

    Please dont touch the bootloader, this will brick your device for sure - the splash screen is in a separate partition for all devices I know, so that should never need to touch the bootloader itself.

    @Eryk-Michalak you need to get rid of Android before using that tool (the UBports installer), that's why you need to follow those special steps I linked you earlier.

    Nexus 5 Instability

    @Stefano I wish. A refund wouldn't have been enough. The repair was $20 (I already had the board out, I just took the button and board in and had it soldered), and was "no warranty/guarantee" for the repair. Needed a new phone after that, and $20 wasn't about to buy a newly working Nexus 5. So I ended up buying a Pixel (which was another adventure in suffering), after which the suffering led me to getting an HTC 10. So now I just use the N5 for testing UT stuff, but without network or bluetooth. @ChaoticBeard It seems like that could happen, if the button is getting stuck in the "pressed" position somehow. It's possible there could be a software issue, but whenever someone posts one of these threads, it always seems hardware is most likely cause.

    @Ingo said in Wireless convergence on FP2 : black screen: Now the only problem is that it's not really sharp. Like the resolution is somewhat off or so. I think the output resolution is limited to 720p, which may be much lower than whatever your displaying it on. And indeed, xrandr will not work on UT, as we use Mir, not Xorg.

    New OnePlus One Issues on Fresh Install

    @boygenuis said in New OnePlus One Issues on Fresh Install: debug: Error: Command failed: adb -P 5038 shell echo 1 error: device unauthorized. Device Unauthorized means that your phone forbids adb access. You have to solve that by enabling developer mode (the usual 7 touches on the kernel version, was it that one) and then allow usb debugging, and optionally also allow OEM unlocking the bootloader. then disconnect/reconnect the computer, you should get a popup to allow access for this machine. click OK and you should be in. As long as adb devices shows error messages, you don´t need to try start installing UT.

    @advocatux I tested everything expect GPS so maybe it's broken, but as I said I planned to use my watch for workouts and navigation anyway so it's not a big deal to me. Thanks for your time!

    Hello Catalyst, To my opinion this is a quality device worth fixing. I bricked my E5 phone twice and the first time i sent it back for repair to BQ. It was almost as expensive as buying a new one but they made the thing like new. They even renewed the old Ubuntu-version and the battery as far as i know. So yeah, i say fix it (and learn to not trash it again)
