  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
