@eclku0 said in Encryption of a MicroSD card neccessary?: Since the device is mounted inside of phablet, doesn't that mean that everything I write to it is encrypted? To start with your last question. No. Even if you would mount your SD card under the phablet home directory, it would still be unencrypted. What filesystem did you format your SD card with? There is a files size limit to the FAT32 filesystem. But since you intend to mount an image file with an encrypted filesystem anyhow, you might want to format your SD card as ext4.

@kristatos This worked great. Thank you. (I did have to delete the cache, then restart to rebuild it.)

@bolly thanks !

@kugiigi It is in UTTT also, along with launcher scaling.

@kugiigi Thanks, I will try with my "hacking only" skillz https://gitlab.com/ubports/apps/terminal-app/-/blob/master/src/app/qml/KeyboardRows/Layouts/Nano.json

Yes, Thank you!!

@luksus I actually bought a Pinephone, but the OnePlus 3 is so much faster and also has more memory. The only thing the pinephone has over it is the hardware kill switches. I will try and install anbox and see if if performs. Thanks!

@davenothere According to this link, you should still be fine data-wise even if 3G bands will be phased out: https://www.frequencycheck.com/carrier-compatibility/zLtEl/google-nexus-5-lg-d820/cricket-wireless-united-states

The script is: #!/bin/bash while [ "true" ] do VPNCON=$(nmcli con status) if [[ $VPNCON != *MyVPNConnectionName* ]]; then echo "Disconnected, trying to reconnect..." (sleep 1s && nmcli con up uuid d******c-d***-4***-b***-3**********4) else echo "Already connected !" fi sleep 30 done The UUID of your personal VPN can be found with: nmcli con If I run this script in the terminal with bash script.sh or just copy/paste, it works great. My VPN toggles 'on' automatically, and if I turn off my VPN it toggles itself back 'on' so long as I keep my terminal open. However, if I run the script as any kind of startup script, after I reboot, the VPN will toggle 'on' then 'off' and I get a VPN Failed message. And this will keep happening at whatever duration you have set in the script. This generic script is 30secs, I set my personal one to 5secs and it toggles 'on' fails then toggles 'off' every 5secs.

@3ncode The instructions here mention some things that can be tried additionally.

It looks like the phone has a hardware issue with the eMMC (Solid state drive). If you have tried multiple USB cables and the device won't allow writing to certain sectors, the storage has failed.

@somannak No, it's more complicated than that. Use forum search function to see what is waydroid. But i think OPO is not compatible with waydroid anyway.

@bigb The script from the gabsoftware link works great when run straight in the terminal, but when put in startup, the vpn tries to reconnect but can't for some reason.

@Jimpson , for me it was in ~/.local/share/ubuntu-download-manager/com.mikeasoft.podbird but if its not there, try using the du command to search for large directories. I started from the very top at ~ and started using this: du -d 1 --block==1G ^this command shows the size of each directory/file in ur current location in terms of gigabytes. podbird should be up there in size, so just start working ur way down

@keneda Probably ChromeOS but you can install standard Linux apps as it runs a Linux kernel. Or even a standard Linux, I doubt Windows can run on a Chromebook.

Solved on the Volla RC 30. Thanks @mardy
