    @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.

    @bamboy360 said in Elevate Push Notifications from WayDroid to UT?: Someone there mentioned using KDEConnect as a workaround. I might look into that next. I suspect this was aimed primarily at desktop Linux, although any mobile Linux where KDE/GConnect shows notifications would work as well. Unfortunately, at the moment UT is not one of those where it would work out of the box. But feel free to experiment, maybe you can make it work.

    Thank you so much for this comprehensive walk-through on how to get OTA-4 on a Meizu Pro 5 that has too small a cache partition. This will be such a help to anyone who faces the same problem. I would like to add though, that if you wanted to switch channels at any time in the future, the issue of the cache partition being too small would come back to bite. There is a comprehensive walk-through, similar to yours, on increasing the cache partition size written by @Stefano. I have successfully increased the cache partition size on my device following his instructions, without any data loss. All I would add is that the number the partition needs to start at must be divisible by 64.

    Thanks for fast reply, Setting the language from English US to English UK did the trick, I do believe that adding independent time format option will be beneficial for some people that want to have different time format setting from device language settings. I'll try to open enhancement request for it on GitHub.

    Yeah, that doesn't look very promising. Meanwhile they are working on wayland support (https://support.displaylink.com/forums/287786-displaylink-feature-suggestions/suggestions/16639654-linux-wayland-support).

    @doniks excellent point, well spotted. I suppose the correct number is 64 then, not 256 as previously stated by me. Why this is so? Might have something to do with block size. But I haven't done proper research to know for sure. EDIT: Turns out the fdisk man page talks about tracks and sectors. 1 track consisting of 63 sectors by default. Partitions are not allowed to span tracks, i.e. the number if tracks in a partition must be an integer value.

    I understand. But these apps are too useful. Now i tested the other choices like Cinema, Films, Youtube, etc. and all tabs are blank except the Apps tab. I'm not sure if the problem is in the apps or something else.

    After installing these packages it finally worked. Glad to use ubports ubuntu now Looking forward to use updated apps and hope it will be stable as canonical version was. And this installer is not finished, neither snap nor appimage formats work on regular 18.04 computers without these additional packages installed. Thanks everybody for help.

    Hi. I am a USER who has a Nexus 5 impacted : Be carreful if you want to buy a NEXUS 5 because of this annoying bug afecting LG-D821 LG-D820 : Overheating in some circomstances. So the phone is ALMOST unusable. Or not easily usable. See : https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/304 FOR ME, I can't only use my Nexus 5 as a hotspot without overheating. It's seems to be topical yet with 16.04 Xenial. I can't tell you what are the nexus 5 without this problem.

    Meizu Pro5 speaker issue - no sound

    So, I eventually got around to replacing that headphone jack. I had been putting it off as the issue did not happen very frequently, but just recently it has been switching to headphone mode without a reboot. Also as replacing the headphone jack required removing the motherboard I was somewhat trepidatious about it. No difference though, it still boots up in headphone mode until I cool it down for a period of time. I will see if it lasts in speaker mode for longer over next few weeks. In the meantime I have bought another pro5 advertised on amazon as a UK 32GB version. I will concentrate on re-partitioning and putting 16.04 on it.
