    Hi Zaito, so sorry for delay, I have only just logged on in ages. I tested it on GS5 only - installed UT 24.04 because it was the only way to make phonecalls when 3g packed up. Nothing I did enabled Waydroid to persist. Meaning that if waydroid was closed for any reason, you couldn't reboot it without a completely fresh installation. This rectified in June with a new UT update. Everything works well in both UT and Waydroid with one exception; there is no clipboard on waydroid. Which means you cannot copy or paste anything in any circumstances. If I need waydroid copy facilities I have to use another phone running UT20.04. Hope all is well.

    @Chan1234 said in Libertine Questions: is Libertine same as Lxc? No, libertine uses one of several possible containerization technologies. On xenial it uses proot containers. On focal I have read it uses bubblewrap. It could also use lxd, but that integration is currently broken on UT. can i modify libertine to access my wifi dongle? Probably not. You should configure access outside of the container, on the host. The container just uses whatever connection the host provides.

    @Chan1234 said in My personal Questions on Ubuntu Touch.: In Libertine on ubuntu touch the desktop apps can be installed but my first question is. If i install non GUI app like wifite or htop, netdiscover on libertine It will work? or not? command line tools will work well from within a Libertine container. Services and daemons will not. Neither will tools that require very low level access to the system.

    @Flohack maybe I did not explain it clearly. My device is now booting properly without any fix. I do not need to reinstall it. I thought it may be an interesting information to those who are still struggling with the boot isuue. Thank you anyway.

    @poVoq It is the data partition that needs to be EXT4.... Edit to my previous post, apologies for not noticing, but you have sideloaded it successfully. 47% is usually correct for a sideload and it states the transfer is successful with the last line stating "Totala xfer: 1.00x"

    @trev As @Moem has so succinctly remarked, indeed it is! If you had succeeded in running Pi Hole on your device, you would have then have to proceed to set your device as your network's DNS server, which would mean that you would have no DNS, and consequently in practice no internet, if your device was offline for any reason at all. In short, I don't think running pi-hole on it would have been a very good idea.

    @nasyek : I don't see a recent bug report. Something must've gone wrong. I do see that someone else opened a bug report here: https://gitlab.com/theopenstore/openstore-meta/-/issues/339 However, it is closed. You can re-open it.

    If you: don't sync notes but store them on your device ; and want to backup your notes to restore later on a fresh install of Ubuntu Touch (where you chose to wipe all): In 16.04, notes are stored here: .local/share/com.ubuntu.reminders/@local In 20.04, notes are stored here: .local/share/notes.ubports/@local You can use File Manager app to create a backup without need for terminal: Open the app and next to Restricted Access click Unlock and enter password; Go to the location above; Copy the @local folder by sliding it to the left and then click the copy icon; Paste it somewhere in your Documents folder (from the menu, top corner) Attach your phone to your PC and copy the backup folder to your PC. Once you've got the got a fresh install with Notes app: Follow the above steps in reverse and replace the newly created @local folder with your backup folder. (I know the OP asked this question long ago, but this answer might still help someone with same issue).

    @arubislander : Thanks for your advice! However, I did upgrade to 20.04 now with a clean install (wipe). Hence, this late reply. I just couldn't wait to try I still have to adjust some things (one of them is Dekko backup and config looks as if restored, it won't send/receive) but I hope and think I will be able to sort it out and it will be workable for me. [edit: Dekko is working after fresh installation and config of the app. I haven't put back config and mails.]

    SOLVED! Steps: i) Follow the instructions in the links bellow to use the bypass tool (python script). You will need to press the up an down buttons so that Windows can detect the device. After running the bypass python script I obtained this and the device was shut down. [image: 1681669823966-screenshot-2023-04-16-155845.png] ii) I did NOT turn on the device. Then I use the ROM file (fastboot) provided here https://xiaomistockrom.com/xiaomi-redmi-9a and the Mediatek SP Flash tool with this instructions to flash to the device https://xiaomistockrom.com/xiaomi-redmi-9a

    @anonymoustly said in When comes Ubuntu Touch 20.04 to the BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition?: will the Windows installer work on Windows 8.1 x64? You will probably have better results if you boot the machine from a USB stick containing Ubuntu or Linux Mint, and install the UBports installer on that.

    @mihael said in OTA 25 - call history and SMS db gone: @lduboeuf I deleted the first (oldest) 10000 records from voice_events and then restarted the phone and now I have again calls and texts history. interesting, so we have an issue when voice history is getting too big. That is why i've done a way to clean them in the UI meanwhile. But we could launch a clean process each time we reboot the phone to avoid that
