    @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.

    @pixelated In UT we have long and short swipe from both right and left sides. Inverting the drawer will just invert the problem. I think what is asked here is the same thing as "I wanna go home". There are two main drives that I see in this kind of requests: First is the will for customization Then there is the comfort of what is known (frequent comparison with Android) About the first one having choice is nice but having something working is even better. And customization requires lot of work to extract a generic API exposing in a secure manner the various aspect that people might wanna customize. Customization and security don't get along very well, it requires persuasion to make it work About the other one I know people having used both iOS and Android and they all wish some features from one system and others from the second. No one will ever be happy with what he's given. But the best is try and choose what is the best for one self. Of course suggestions are welcome, it helps improve our system but there are tough choices to make. Mine is stability over showing off. Android is all about showing off, new features, new UI, new UX but always with lack of stability. What I like with Linux on my computer is stability I want a system I can rely on to do the job and thus allowing me to do mine. That's the same with my phone. In this manner I like how UBports made the choice of working on behind-the-scene features with what I consider a small meaningless UX change with the app drawer. The feature request is interesting IMO but I think what the foundation is focused on is catching up with 20.4, increase stability and better ports. Customization will be a priority some day but I guess it's up to volunteers to make a proposal if they want to be able to add new UI/UX alternatives.

    I got to the point where is asks for a password but won't accept my password. Word of caution: don't change your password from command line if you've enabled passcode - when you phone locks it only gives you a numpad to enter your password, not a keyboard.

    @enrolado There are no scopes any more, and that does not apply to the app drawer.

    @TobsEnd I had similar issue with FP2 some time ago. Couldn't figure why, happened after update, persisted after channel change (stable, rc) and next OTA updates didn't fix the video playback. I couldn't play videos for several months. The video issues were fixed after complete UBports reinstall (with wipe) using the installer. I hope it will fix your issues too.

    @pixelated For the record, the behavior you described is not a bug. When an app is uninstalled the users data and settings are not automatically removed. Just as they are not on desktop Ubuntu. These typically live in your home folder. Having your data and settings intact when reinstalling an app after having removed it is a feature.

    @b3 you can file an issue as feature request here : https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues It can be quite a big work if we have to handle different backup format. Is there anything standard ?

    @PizzaLovingNerd There is no technical reason that anbox could not work on the PinePhone, however it is still an extremely experimental feature even on the devices where it is currently available, and work has been going toward more important things for the PinePhone. Also, I think anbox on UT has no arm64 support yet. So, it would take someone contributing on making it work to get it to the point where it could be installed and run.
