    @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.

    @lsitongia OK that is some progress, with the PRODATA for Internet APN entry. There are some MMS patches getting made as we speak, they are being targeted for OTA-21. Again, the ofono 28 linked above for a "combined APN" (for "Internet + MMS") isn't quite ready but will further improve things when it gets in: I am currently using it and it works well (I can get MMS on 3G now, couldn't before with separate APN for MMS and Internet), but it will reset APN entries often (so I needed to edit the "defaults" so when they are deleted and reset they are still correct) so there are some bugs / blockers. Defaults come from /usr/share/mobile-broadband-provider-info/serviceproviders.xml

    @yamanobe You always need to prepare the phone since every phone is different when it comes to unlocking for example! Also : No Developer Mode = No ADB either!

    @applee I agree with the things you are saying, except for the first part : Learning to fix your car for example is something totally different than beeing a developer! But now that you mention it : I am actually considering having another go at it somewhere in the future... I tried in the past and horribly failed! :grinning_squinting_face:

    Please refer to https://forums.ubports.com/post/57619 I just noticed an update in Open Store. The same update shows in System Settings -> Updates. I updated the app via System Settings and it updated fine and shows in the System Settings history. [image: 1639484439629-screenshot20211214_100300079.resized.png]

    @domubpkm IIRC it missed 20 but will be in OTA-21. Currently it is in dev and may have reached RC by now.

    @mrt10001 said in Change to new phone: The annoyance with any SONY phone is finding one with an unlocked bootloader, or a bootloader you can unlock. You can buy an "unlocked" phone, but all that means is it is not SIM locked. The SONY screens are really nice, but this annoyance with the bootloader has put me off. I don't get it : Sony phones are THE phones for Jolla Sailfish and if you stick to those models then unlocking the bootloader in order to flash Ubuntu Touch shouldn't be an issue ?!

    Hi and welcome @ubportsuser For sake of keeping up with the various topic I'll lock this thread. I suggest you create a new one and refer to this one. It will avoid confusion for what might have been an old issue fix years ago. Thanks for understanding.

    @hihignoki Also, AFAIK no port exists for Windows phones... There no existing procedure. Android is based on Linux so we can use the open source part of android and build around it. For windows the journey would be long and difficult I guess. So if you don't know where to start, I'd say that you will probably not be able to do it...

    @nero355 Better UX maybe. I left Android for the poor UX and I'm always disappointed by Google's product. The privacy issues with Google is an important part, but for my usage I managed with changing account on each android phone and not syncing anything... My main reason is the UX
