    Hi everyone, I'm interested in installing Ubuntu Touch on my Redmi Note 9S (Curtana), which I see is supported by UBports. My device is already bootloader-unlocked, and I’m currently running LineageOS 22.2 with Magisk (rooted with Zygisk and DenyList) to hide root from certain apps. Before I proceed, I would greatly appreciate your help with these specific questions: 🧩 1. Installation & Data Does the UBports Installer completely wipe the internal storage during installation? Is there any way to install Ubuntu Touch without wiping user data, or is that unavoidable? 2. Reverting Back to LineageOS If I try Ubuntu Touch and decide to switch back to Android/LineageOS later: Will I need to flash the stock MIUI ROM first to restore the original partition layout? Can I flash LineageOS directly from Ubuntu Touch by wiping partitions via TWRP? Does LineageOS automatically reconfigure the partitions, or should I manually format /data back to ext4? Also, should I avoid re-locking the bootloader when going back? 3. Banking Apps Inside WayDroid A major concern for me is banking apps. I currently rely on Magisk (with root hiding) in LineageOS to keep my banking apps working. If I install WayDroid inside Ubuntu Touch: Will banking apps detect root and refuse to launch? Is it possible to install Magisk inside WayDroid and successfully hide root? Have users successfully gotten banking or security-sensitive apps working in WayDroid? I love the idea of Ubuntu Touch and would love to experiment with it, but these are essential questions before I can commit to switching. Thanks in advance for your help, and thanks to the UBports team and community for your incredible work! Best regards, Hamidreza Mehrban

    @developerbayman Unfortunately i didn't get time to make it a click, but for me literally everything worked from opening roms and also fullscreen. If you have time I think making a click out of it will be better investment of time and also as retro arch as touch support by default you will be able see touch controls as well

    Hi everyone I've tried to setup a shared folder between UT and waydroid so I can easily and quickly share files without using the terminal. I want to be able to use easily this share folder in the graphical app Files of Ubuntu Touch. I've kinda followed this link : https://docs.waydro.id/faq/setting-up-a-shared-folder So i have first created two directories : ~/shared and ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/shared Then I have done the commands : sudo mount --bind ~/shared ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/shared sudo chown phablet:phablet shared phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ls -l | grep shared drwxrwxr-x 2 phablet phablet 4096 juin 7 01:04 shared phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ It only works for one file, then the permissions automatically change to 1023 and I'm not authorised to continue sharing files : phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ls -l | grep shared drwxrwxr-x 2 1023 1023 4096 juin 9 23:14 shared phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ So I have to do the chown command again for every file... Furthermore, if I check the id command then I don't see which user is 1023 : phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ id uid=32011(phablet) gid=32011(phablet) groups=32011(phablet),4(adm),5(tty),20(dialout),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),105(systemd-journal),1001(radio),1002(bluetooth),1003(android_graphics),1004(android_input),1005(audio),1013(android_media),1015(sdcard_rw),1021(gps),2001(android_cache),3002(android_net3),3003(android_net),3004(android_net2),9997(android_nvram) phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ And finally if I reboot UT I have to also re-do the mount --bind command... I would like to make this shared folder persistent without having to re-do those commands every time, any ideas ? Thanks

    @musen2100 On a side note check out e/OS. Based on LineageOS, but with privacy in mind.

    @jezek Thank you for your explanation but sorry, all this sharp formatting work is not work for me. It will probably be helpful to others being able to help you. Good luck in your future developments.

    @doniks I specifically written "maintained" not created. The goal of canonical was a hard hill to climb and yes, LibreOffice worked but with evolution of Lomiri maintaining the same goal became too difficult. So Libertine is still here, works fine for CLI but the GUI part is hit and miss and no effort AFAIK is made to improve it at the moment. As always, UBports is a very small foundation and such difficult and labor intensive task is not the priority while keeping the OS up-to-date and focus on native apps is the way to better the UX.

    @kugiigi even if there is something on it, OP can try it, since they intend giving it away anyhow. Just Factory reset it again after testing out the feature.

    @xircon said in Morph browser - cannot login to discourse based forums: Jingpad is basically an expensive paper weight, worst decision I ever made. This is definitely not the case. My JingPad works wonderfully. You are running xenial, correct? Did you 'downgrade' from focal? That has been known to cause the issues you are having.

    @randomredmi9a Remove the power cable and press the buttons (Volume Down + Power) to get to the bootloader (fastboot). It may just be a blank screen, but you should a feel the vibration and the screen will illuminate. Before doing this download the latest MiFlash tool. Download the correct Android ROM for the device. Connect to the PC and use the MiFlash tool to flash the Android ROM to the device. In the bottom left corner of the MiFlash tool is a button that defaults to locking the bootloader. My advice - DO NOT RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER. This may (i.e. is highly likely) to totally brick your device. Once you have installed Android and set it up, try installing UT again. I have used this method a few times on boot looping Xiaomi devices and it has worked. When you install UT to the device, be very patient, it may take some time to do things ~15-20minutes, so leave it alone. Things you need: Windows PC - Miflash tool doesn't work on Linux MiFlash Tool I don't know which country you are in to point you in the direction of ROMs
