    @hankschwie hi mate, so at long last the latest update has sorted the reboot problem - this is version 280 of Ubuntu 24.04 as of 26/06/2025. I don't know about Fairfax phones but have a Gigaset GS5 which I used the Vollaphone 22 with new screen install. Phone works, Ubuntu works, and now Waydroid is back..... These folks are truly amazing

    Hi @Max-Headroom - I'm sure there'll be someone around who's more qualified than I am to help! I run an N5 too. The battery does seem to drain quite quickly, depending on how aggressively the phone is being used. As for storage: you must have put a lot of files on your phone!

    try the original cable or a new high quality cable and also switch over to Ubuntu. I had many problems installing on my nexus 5 using windows 10, and 7. switch to Ubuntu and I was done in about 15 minutes.

    I've found out that I can only pair my pro5 to a few cars not many. But if you are in the bluetooth menu it should give you the code to pair it's for me that the connection fails.

    @pavejon have you enabled the "less secure apps" option in your google settings? https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en or if you use two factor authentication you can get an app specific password instead and use that to authenticate.

    @advocatux, Many thanks for the link. It looks like we still have to wait some time before we can take pictures with the selfie stick. In other words - be patient

    @635834 said in Notes app on OnePlusOne mobile phone (OS ubuntu): Surely when I get a reminder I should get a buzz and a permanent visual reminder (which I would have to delete)? Hi, that's how reminders should work for sure. Unfortunately I don't know if it's an easy fix because AFAIK there's no Notes app maintainer currently. I'll forward your suggestion to those I think (maybe) can help to solve the problem.

    @guru Agreed. I did save the original hosts file so it would be easy to restore the file and set the filesystem to read-only before doing an OTA. But that too isn't a guarantee, I realise it's a bit of a gamble.

    I'm pretty sure that the installer does not touch the partition layout. Remember Android is weird. I wouldn't be surprised if some devices/bootloaders have specific expectations about the partition layout these are embedded devices. If the bootprocess is severly messed up, you can't exactly put the hard disk into that other device and fix the partitions So, while I guess it is possible to make cache smaller, I am not gonna try on my device and I'd caution you to do so! Now to the aspect of "I'm running out of space" due to tinkering with libertine, ... well you still have some 6GB to through around, not huge, but not nothing either. If you run out of space, rather than doing acrobatics with partition sizes you want to look into acrobatics with bind mounting

    You could try and if it works document it here https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/libertine.html I'd also try first with a symlink, but if that gives any problems, I would assume a bind mount should work. but then you have the additional challenge of having to reestablish the mount after every reboot. maybe it can be automated with upstart.
