    I found a "workaround" for now:

    You can get "somewhat" around the sending issue. Type enough so the "Expand Text Box Arrow" is usable (or move you finger around the text box a little (up works very often), for some reason the arrow shows up then too), press it and now you can press the blue send button to the right. It is far FAR from working / good but it works for now. That also allows selecting and then "overwriting" the current text. That can be considered as a "backspace" workaround.

    ALSO: Signal-Desktop uses more battery then it should. It uses a far less if you close it and reopen it and don't open any chats. IDK. why.

    Getting Waydroid apps to work more like regular UT apps is still a work-in-progress. For now you probably have to use the work-around you discovered.

    @davidm90 said in Firefox esr 78 runtime error:

    For Sony Xperia X, Xenial Xerus works the best even if it has some bugs.

    That makes sense since there isn't a stable version out yet.
    Thank you for the clarification!

    @MrT10001 Thanks, I updated it successfully. My problem with flashing UT was due to another problem actually, I didn't repartition the phone correctly (after a LineageOS installation), but now it's okay.

    @tera thank you for your answer!
    ...what I tried:
    sudo mount -rw -t vfat /dev/sda /media/myfolder
    ...and after sucessfully mounting
    sudo chmod -v -R 777 /media/myfolder
    ...all folders/ files in /media/myfolder were shown (in terminal!) as being changed from rwx rx rx ---> to rwx rwx rwx.
    So, full of hope, I opened my phone's filemanager and tried to change a file's name in /media/myfolder...
    ...but neither adding a file nor changing its name was accepted by the system...no write access! Also, of course, the contents of files couldn't be changed by e.g. Seabass2-app.
    In spite of the permission changes signaled by the terminal, the files on the SD-card obviously remained unchanged.
    Had no success also when trying a mount-folder in /home/phablet/myfolder...

    The files on the SD card were written by myself with the "external storage"-app on the same phone. So I should be the owner/ root of the files...
    What's wrong with my trials?

    @StephPTi Well, I did not use Android extensively, only for some minor looking around (it is awful 😊 ), but I did not notice anything wrong with the button or the system...

    The device came with Android 11, I downgraded to Android 10 using the image:
    surya_global_images_V12.0.9.0.QJGMIXM_20210508.0000.00_10.0_global
    ...and using the attached script 'flash_all.sh'.

    I'm thinking if there is a way to re-image it back to Android now? To check, if the button worked ok? (I never re-imaged UBports phone back to Android before, so not sure about the implications...)

    Really. 😉

    It's just a little thing, but it's kind of bothering me. I set up the notification sound on xenial using the UT Tweak tool and the SMS messages worked fine. But the other apps just cut the sound off after five seconds. Now on focal, SMS messages are doing it to me as well, so I figured there might be a setting somewhere.

    And if it is "can it run smoothly on an almost 10 years old device like Nexus 5", then answer is definitely yes.

    Following your command line I could mount my usb-stick readable successfully; thanks for he advice!
    Is it possible in Ubuntu Touch to mount the stick read AND writable? The options mount -w and the option mount -o rw doesnt work...
    It would be great to add/ sync/ rename files on the stick.

    @arubislander That's what I could guess from the forum.

    Unfortunately, I cannot install Focal on my device, and I don't feel like purchasing another tablet at the moment.

    Yeah it seems to be random every reboot.
    You can delete the url dispatcher config of other browsers but for Morph, it's in the readonly part of the system.

    @kugiigi said in How do I uninstall an app if it's no longer in OpenStore?:

    QtWebEngine is provided by the system

    Okay, indeed. What I was wondering is if there were a lot of differences (amount of work for a developer) between Xenial and Focal regarding this.

    Sorry to reply to this old post.

    I confirm the flickering screen.
    I always had the same issue when using LineageOS or even miui.
    On android 13, it's much better but, lonce a week, it happen.
    Since utouch halium for Poco X3 NFC is based on android 10, the flickering screen happens once a day at least. And when i use miui with android 10, i have the same problem everyday, so i suppose that it's not, technically, an utouch bug.
