    @Alain This featute isn't in UT/Lomiri yet. Simplest way is to make something like a home screen app and there are some that exists already like Launcher Modular. Not sure they have app groups though. You can contribute to them if you don't want to make your own. However, they obviously act like a normal app. Best you can do is pin it to the Launcher for easy access. Or you can contribute to Lomiri and implement it in the App drawer which definitely needs some love There's even a bounty for it so there's money to get

    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.

    @advocatux I know it isn't software as OTA4 is working like a charm on my main phone which is a BQ 4.5. This one is running OTA4 as well. The one thing I can think is that I took it cycling with me and I got quite wet, although it was in my pocket. Though I have done that a few times. The phone is working, but the screen is blue tinged with graphic lines through it and eventually stops being responsive. It gets hot on the front just above the micro usb charger. It was second hand, so might have had issues anyway and I can't vouch for the battery. I have had the back off and looked at the area where it gets hot, but can't see anything obvious. It seems to be related to the screen driver, but not sure what is getting so hot. The battery connector is near that point.

    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.
