    @hlbkv gnome software can handle debs and flatpaks (and on Ubuntu also snaps I think). The app itself is a deb, so it is not surprising that it can be installed. The apps that end up being able to be installed with it are probably also debs.

    @bamboy360 said in Elevate Push Notifications from WayDroid to UT?: Someone there mentioned using KDEConnect as a workaround. I might look into that next. I suspect this was aimed primarily at desktop Linux, although any mobile Linux where KDE/GConnect shows notifications would work as well. Unfortunately, at the moment UT is not one of those where it would work out of the box. But feel free to experiment, maybe you can make it work.

    @kristatos This worked great. Thank you. (I did have to delete the cache, then restart to rebuild it.)

    @magdesign This is a very old thread, and in the interim this issue has long been solved on the PinePhone. I am marking this as solved and locking the thread.

    @luksus I actually bought a Pinephone, but the OnePlus 3 is so much faster and also has more memory. The only thing the pinephone has over it is the hardware kill switches. I will try and install anbox and see if if performs. Thanks!

    @davenothere According to this link, you should still be fine data-wise even if 3G bands will be phased out: https://www.frequencycheck.com/carrier-compatibility/zLtEl/google-nexus-5-lg-d820/cricket-wireless-united-states

    The script is: #!/bin/bash while [ "true" ] do VPNCON=$(nmcli con status) if [[ $VPNCON != *MyVPNConnectionName* ]]; then echo "Disconnected, trying to reconnect..." (sleep 1s && nmcli con up uuid d******c-d***-4***-b***-3**********4) else echo "Already connected !" fi sleep 30 done The UUID of your personal VPN can be found with: nmcli con If I run this script in the terminal with bash script.sh or just copy/paste, it works great. My VPN toggles 'on' automatically, and if I turn off my VPN it toggles itself back 'on' so long as I keep my terminal open. However, if I run the script as any kind of startup script, after I reboot, the VPN will toggle 'on' then 'off' and I get a VPN Failed message. And this will keep happening at whatever duration you have set in the script. This generic script is 30secs, I set my personal one to 5secs and it toggles 'on' fails then toggles 'off' every 5secs.

    It looks like the phone has a hardware issue with the eMMC (Solid state drive). If you have tried multiple USB cables and the device won't allow writing to certain sectors, the storage has failed.

    @somannak No, it's more complicated than that. Use forum search function to see what is waydroid. But i think OPO is not compatible with waydroid anyway.

    @bigb The script from the gabsoftware link works great when run straight in the terminal, but when put in startup, the vpn tries to reconnect but can't for some reason.

    @Jimpson , for me it was in ~/.local/share/ubuntu-download-manager/com.mikeasoft.podbird but if its not there, try using the du command to search for large directories. I started from the very top at ~ and started using this: du -d 1 --block==1G ^this command shows the size of each directory/file in ur current location in terms of gigabytes. podbird should be up there in size, so just start working ur way down

    @keneda Probably ChromeOS but you can install standard Linux apps as it runs a Linux kernel. Or even a standard Linux, I doubt Windows can run on a Chromebook.
