    It can take a long time. Like really long. I use waydroid helper if I need to initialize or reinstall, then leave the screen on with the phone charging. Sometimes it takes five minutes, sometimes 50 minutes. I'm also on FP5.

    @uwahl Glad you figured out a way to do what you wanted to achieve, all be it partially. This is what I meant when I said UT is a lot like 'regular' Ubuntu when viewed from the command line. Unless you want to be running services and such, more often than not, there is a way to get what you need, done.

    I know why this call error happens to a lot of users. To cut a long story short, install the standard Miui version again. Please note that it is very important to turn off all switches for Google services, location services and updates during installation. You will be asked to do this during setup, then start the device and switch on developer mode. Start the device in fastboot mode and install Ubuntu.

    You can only download Ubuntu Touch "images" inside UBports installer. And only actual versions, not previous ones.

    Hi @fairose, I still use the way mentioned in my post from almost 5 years ago. It gets overwritten from time to time, but I just re-run the commands to trust my cert again. I think I changed .pem to .crt, but otherwise it is in /usr/share/ca-certificates/certificate.crt (filename doesn't really matter). I don't know why are you getting the error, but I guess there is a problem with some certificate you put in there.

    @hunter616 Have a look over here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/9487/usb-tethering-windows-driver?_=1699461580620 You are looking for usb_moded. This works fine when your dekstop is Linux. On your phone go to the terminal: usb_moded_util -c rndis //activates USB Tethering On your desktop go to the terminal: ip a Now you'll see an usb0 in the list. In my case the desktop connects to the phone and I have an internetconnections throuh the phone. usb_moded_util -m //gives a list of all modes you can choose from usb_moded_util -c mtp_adb //default mode for adb and charging usb_moded_util -c rndis //activates USB Tethering etc.

    @Vistaus, Ah, OK. I see on the devices page that @TheKit is a Maintainer of this port. Maybe they know how to help you achieve your goal.

    @Keneda Yes you are right, pleae apologizy the misprint, it should be service ... Summarizing the procedure is as shown in https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/advanceduse/ssh.html: chmod 700 /home/phablet/.ssh chmod 600 /home/phablet/.ssh/authorized_keys chown -R phablet:phablet /home/phablet/.ssh and after this modification, stop and restart of the ssh-server sudo service ssh stop sudo service ssh start systemctl status ssh

    @iqrajaved said in Background of Address-book App (Contacts App): Hi I am now working on the address book app and cannot find where to change the background of this app on the page where the contacts are shown. I have successfully figured out the Contacts Delegate and changed the background of where the name is written. But cannot find how to change the background of the whole page. Thanks Then it has a default background according to system Theme. you can override it with backgroundColor i guess as a Mainview property or i don't remember which one
