    @Ken1971 Hi! After a few failed attempts trying to save the data of my waydroid installation I was able to solve it, but had to erase all the user data, and re-install everything I had running in the waydroid installation. 24.04 is not yet available for Fairphone 3, so its 20.04 I'm using.

    @Dave a quick check shows that the current server certificate for that site was issued on October 11th and is valid until Jan 2024. Could you check if the date and time is set correctly on your family member's device?

    @nibzy26 said in NFS Mount touch phone: Gossh this is frustrating What is your end aim here? Is it to make some personal customizations or are you looking to contribute these back to the project? Because if it is the latter then you might want to start a dialog with the UX Team and increase the probability that your changes will be accepted.

    @Rinkeby Thanks for the answer, I am currently struggeling to solve a problem on my Pinephone. I have installed postmarketOS on it and Abiword. But Abiword cannot write to the external SD card. I want to store and edit Abiword files on the external SD card to be able to pull out the SD card from the phone an stick it into my Ubuntu PC: I am almost there to do this on my Pinephone, exept that I have not yet the permission to write Abword files on my Ubuntu PC to the SD card with postmarketOS: My question is, can I do this with the Voila phone as well? Install Abiword on the external SD card, pull the SD card from the phone, stick it into a Ubuntu PC, to furhter process Abiword files there?

    @nibzy26 said in error building lomiri calculator app: @arubislander Thanks seems like every step is a new task. Anyway I created my own icon png and named it as lomiri-calculator-app.png and deleted the original file. Then i changed version in CMakeList.txt , to 4.0.3 installed it but the app icon is still the default one. Do I have to do additional steps to show my own app icon ? 2. SO everytime I make a small change I have to increment the version in the CMakeList.txt file ?? Please advise Thanks humm, no need to update version each time. does this image have the same name than in the desktop file ( see Icon key iirc)

    @UTdroid Hello, UTdroid, as @zubozrout wrote, the list on the UBports site with 21 supported devices (today and with the Focal OS version) is the best source to check compatibility with Ubuntu Touch. I was making the same decision as you a year ago. Phones marked with an asterisk should be the safest option, as I understand they are strategic for the community. But for me all of them were hard to buy or simply I did not like them technically (maybe I was wrong). In the end, I chose the Redmi Note 9 Pro. The argument was high progress of implementation of full functionality (98.2% now). And it was a good move - the device works great and I am happy with it. Probably, regardless of your final decision, there is no 100% certainty that the specific port will be maintained, but it is natural for open community. Make your good choice and have fun with Ubuntu Touch

    @JamesSunderland It is sure a necessity, but it also demands a lot of power, may crash. Stuff like that. And you know. Not the best solution to run two systems at the same time in general. So I want to keep waydroid just in case. And enjoy my whatsapp and surfing on focal.

    @Rinkeby Sorry I am just barely seeing this didn't recieve any notifications. The instructions were from this article lHow to import WireGuard profile using nmcli on Linuxt but as @arubislander mentioned its simpler to run without the environment variable. @arubislander said in How to do with mullvad VPN?: @Rinkeby No problem, you go ahead and mark my answer as having solved your issue... looks better that way, anyhow... :grinning_squinting_face: LOL

    @lkroll That's definitely ideal. I'm sure the xenial app would be a great start. It would be nice but obviously it's a very old tech and kind of slow. It's probably better to look for other better solutions if the effort is too much.
