    @projectmoon Snaps or direct installation work. No input problems there. But unfortunately then the DPI is so off, that menus are by far too small. The only fix for the DPI related problems, was to install the apps into containers and use libertine-tweak-tools for adjusting the DPI. It's a trade off. Also: not all apps have snap versions.

    @keneda no, not a fork, necessarily. I think the OP means just downloading the source and compiling it.

    @keneda That sounds interesting, I'll think about it if I get an a/b slots device in the future. For now I think I will use a regular single boot to keep things simple.

    @arubislander Thanks for sharing your experience. The reason why it does not work for me is simple since I don t have a Ubports phone available. I stuck in the process of unlocking the bootloader of a Xiaomi phone and it was very difficult, and I don t know whether it is worth to continue. I have now also a Fairphone 3 available which hopefully is easer. I have listed the options which I know which are possible to connect a phone to a PC on my personal website: for Ubports phones: https://petergamma.org/file-access-from-pc-to-ubports-linux-phone/ for (Ubports) PinePhones: https://petergamma.org/file-access-from-pc-to-linux-pinephone/ Thanks for sharing these information. To connect a Linux phone to a PC with a network shared folder or to connect a phone SD card as a network drive to a Windows or Ubuntu Desktop network the same way it works on a PC would be highly desirable. But I am happy to know what is possible.

    @loboturbo Hi, I read from notes that we need android 9.0 and installed the official release from India rom sites. The process still did not work for me when I used the android 9 version of stock MIUI rom and I would get the same result as you. Eventually what worked for me: used TWRP Flashed Android rom version 9.9.3 (I read that the maintainer had tested on 9.9.3) Then used the latest UBports installer version 0.9.x beta After repeated failure to install from the stable channel I chose to install the RC version and that worked After installation I tried to update the OS from phone settings using the stable channel but that would not boot and I had to reinstall from RC channel again using the UBports installer. As of now I'm running the RC channel and it seems to be working fine. Sometimes the swipe from right to close the applications starts misbehaving. However lock and unlock of the phone sets it right. Rest of the features at least seem ok. I am able to browse, make calls and use phone messages.

    @josele13 said in Write to external SD card possible with Ubuntu Touch?: Thanks for your answers. I see there seems to be no easy way out except to change to another device, which has other disadvantages (availability, high price). Maybe I let go the external SD card. Which is the easiest way to acess the internal SD to read and write files from a PC, for instance as an external drive?

    @fizz Hello, I've been able to make a test using the approach described above. The test was done in stable channel (OTA-22) after reboot and the commands have been punched via ssh. I sent myself a testing multimedia message via the nuntium-inject-push testing helper tool. phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo ./nuntium-inject-push -s +421908353517 --sender-notification +421908353517 --transaction-id test-wget --error-activate-context=1 [sudo] password for phablet: No end-point flag provided, trying to retrieve end-point from nuntium logs in: /home/phablet/.cache/upstart Using endpoint: ":1.55" Creating web server to serve mms Denial count: 0 The notification was delivered to messaging-app [image: 1647105561353-screenshot20220311_181055232.resized25.png] I looked at the ~/.cache/upstart/nuntium.log phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ tail .cache/upstart/nuntium.log 00000060 39 30 38 33 35 33 35 31 37 2f 54 59 50 45 3d 50 |908353517/TYPE=P| 00000070 4c 4d 4e 00 8a 80 8e 02 74 00 88 05 81 03 02 a2 |LMN.....t.......| 00000080 ff 83 68 74 74 70 3a 2f 2f 6c 6f 63 61 6c 68 6f |..http://localho| 00000090 73 74 3a 39 31 39 31 2f 6d 6d 73 3f 65 72 72 6f |st:9191/mms?erro| 000000a0 72 2d 61 63 74 69 76 61 74 65 2d 63 6f 6e 74 65 |r-activate-conte| 000000b0 78 74 3d 31 00 |xt=1.| 2022/03/11 18:10:19 This is a local test, skipping context activation and proxy settings 2022/03/11 18:10:19 Forcing debug error: main.downloadError{standartizedError:main.standartizedError{error:"error-activate-context", code:"x-ubports-nuntium-mms-error-activate-context"}} 2022/03/11 18:10:31 Received unknown method call on org.ofono.mms.Message MarkRead 2022/03/11 18:10:31 Message /org/ofono/mms/231014453153205/cb2e5a6911b100a99a13927694308474 is not responded and not expired, not deleting. and extracted the message UUID cb2e5a6911b100a99a13927694308474 and download link http://localhost:9191/mms.

For the record, I've also encountered a case, where the message was not delivered to messaging-app after restart, but it was due to bad wget usage, which produced an empty .mms file. So maybe if the file is somehow faulty, the message is not shown. This needs more investigation.

    @moem I blame my bad eyesight! I had to use UTTT to make the fonts big enough for me to see. I'm guessing that is why I have a scroll bar on the edit screen.

    I don't think there's a proper option to do that. Perhaps you can log a feature request for that though. Either hiding top sites and/or totally disabling it.
