    @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.

    @Fizz That is an interesting way of going about it. But I guess it works. In general though, changing ownership / permissions of system files is not recommended, so be sure to change them back to what they were when you are done editing them.

    @lduboeuf Thanks for your new project. Well personally, in normal use, I generally completely turn off cellular data and activate it when necessary. I don't know how difficult it can be to develop, but I imagine an option that automatically turns on cellular data in case of one or more open apps or web-apps using it, and automatically turns off cellular data when apps or web-apps that used cellular data are all closed...

    @messayisto You are welcome. I forked off our thread from the main one to make it easier for the hosts to find the questions they might want to answer. I hope you don't mind. But concerning your original question, the missing Notes app for Focal in the Open Store is a bug that is being looked into as I write this.

    @arubislander Yes, I sort of meant the service of a whole, having everything in one app. But to the look of it,the hostility from all made it imposible. however. I still hope for a whatsapp update. its just the UI that got messed up resently. A pretty good separate app, but only for xenial still.

    @Lakotaubp @Moem Hey, thanks for the answer. And for Moem, I was just hoping you had the answer I am running 20.04. And libertine installs a looot of things you dont want sometimes. But thats when you are a bit experimental. For example, If you want Falkon to run, and get the installation completed. You need to install kde window manager first. (I am sure there is a smarter way, but I dont know one) And when you install KDE window manager. You get a bunch of system apps like network manager and stuff. So, no terror. But it would be nice to be able to clean it up. All other apps are just in .local as .desktop. but not libertine stuff.

    @uwahl Glad you figured out a way to do what you wanted to achieve, all be it partially. This is what I meant when I said UT is a lot like 'regular' Ubuntu when viewed from the command line. Unless you want to be running services and such, more often than not, there is a way to get what you need, done.

    I know why this call error happens to a lot of users. To cut a long story short, install the standard Miui version again. Please note that it is very important to turn off all switches for Google services, location services and updates during installation. You will be asked to do this during setup, then start the device and switch on developer mode. Start the device in fastboot mode and install Ubuntu.

    You can only download Ubuntu Touch "images" inside UBports installer. And only actual versions, not previous ones.
