    @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.

    @advocatux, Many thanks for the link. It looks like we still have to wait some time before we can take pictures with the selfie stick. In other words - be patient

    @635834 said in Notes app on OnePlusOne mobile phone (OS ubuntu): Surely when I get a reminder I should get a buzz and a permanent visual reminder (which I would have to delete)? Hi, that's how reminders should work for sure. Unfortunately I don't know if it's an easy fix because AFAIK there's no Notes app maintainer currently. I'll forward your suggestion to those I think (maybe) can help to solve the problem.

    @guru Agreed. I did save the original hosts file so it would be easy to restore the file and set the filesystem to read-only before doing an OTA. But that too isn't a guarantee, I realise it's a bit of a gamble.

    I'm pretty sure that the installer does not touch the partition layout. Remember Android is weird. I wouldn't be surprised if some devices/bootloaders have specific expectations about the partition layout these are embedded devices. If the bootprocess is severly messed up, you can't exactly put the hard disk into that other device and fix the partitions So, while I guess it is possible to make cache smaller, I am not gonna try on my device and I'd caution you to do so! Now to the aspect of "I'm running out of space" due to tinkering with libertine, ... well you still have some 6GB to through around, not huge, but not nothing either. If you run out of space, rather than doing acrobatics with partition sizes you want to look into acrobatics with bind mounting

    You could try and if it works document it here https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/libertine.html I'd also try first with a symlink, but if that gives any problems, I would assume a bind mount should work. but then you have the additional challenge of having to reestablish the mount after every reboot. maybe it can be automated with upstart.

    Hey, I had the same problem (Nexus 5) and I think I know what is the cause for this problem. It is the same as @Bash-Horatio specified. The device has two identifiers: Google Android [0100] LGE Nexus 5[0232] Now, whenever the device is on fastboot it is identified as Google Android [0100] but when it moves to Recovery mode it is identified as LGE Nexus 5[0232]. Seems like the script is loosing the connection to Google Android [0100] right when the device is going to recovery mode. So, under VirtualBox you should go to Machine -> settings -> Ports -> USB. Check to "ON" the "Enable USB Controller" and "USB 1.1 (OHCI) Controller". On the right, there are small blue usb icons to add/remove usb filters. You should add two filters for each device identifier (i.e. Google Android [0100] and LGE Nexus 5[0232]). How? Connect the device when it is NOT in fasboot and add a usb filter (should be LGE Nexus 5[0232]). After having this filter switch your device to fastboot and then add a new filter (should be Google Android [0100]). Once you have two usb filters you can run the ubports. For non-VirtualBox I would say that you should disconnect / connect the device when ever your phone switched to Recovery Mode so the script will recognize the device with its new identifier (LGE Nexus 5[0232]). for me it worked fine after few hours of frustration... Hope it will help. A'aron

    Just thought I would mention that I was eventually able to test out Hangouts video calling though the browser, and everything works, so a big thanks to all. I suspect a reboot did the trick.
