@emphrath The Android HAL is incompatible with GNU libc and traditional Linux multimedia software. It's less about "kernel divergence" than about how binary drivers are built on top of it to work differently than traditional Linux distributions.

@mh4ut Just to clarify this is the Welcome and Install group on Telegram/Teleports and was this account removed by admin of the group.

Oh I also thought Volla supports display out.

I tried that with --dry-run, but it just sits there and does nothing after this output.

Then it times out with:

Just running system-image-cli --list-channels also just freezes.

@starltegsi

I don't have this phone or GSI, but i can tell you people will help you better if you give them the link to the install method you used, at least.

@ubuntoutou I have now managed to make the Microsoft Wireless Adapter work on another external display but the ubuntu desktop is compressed vertically. It does not occupy the whole screen so that the desktop is distorted. Furthermore, it is blur...

@c0n57an71n I admit, this is an advantage of the PinePhone. I also miss a dual boot option for Ubuntu Touch. Some apps only work on newer Android releases. I currently carry around three different Samsung Galaxy S5 devices with different Android versions. Each for it's on purpose. One for ANT+, one for writing capability to the SD card, and one for phone calls the latest Android apps. With Ubuntu Touch, there will be one device more. Multi boot could solve the problem.

@paugier
Interresting. As the app just uses the webcontainer I doubt I can do anything regarding memory consumption. I didn't have the issue neither on OPO nor on Volla. Can you maybe link an example or a channel you follow where this happens.

So if I have an Ubuntu Touch, and turn flight mode on -- basically it is very unlikely anyone will be tracking meat that point. Even the ISP, right?

In the video above, Google only knew where the man had been, because it was all recorded and uploaded by Google software on the phone, when he turned his phone back on.

Or, short of that, I could probably just put the phone in a faraday bag.

@jojumaxx
Yes, because of confinement, apps should often copy file into their own space.
For media files, the best is to store them in the dedicated folders then the app with matching right can access them directly without the need to copy them.

You can see how much space each app is taking if you need to clear that space...

@mrlen
Hi,

You can revert to android if you want to.
But you'll need to flash it using an official image.

With the bootloader unlocked you can flash other OSes available for your hardware. It includes Android.

Click apps cannot be run from Android, sorry.

If your only problem with UT is the flashlight not working when taking pictures, I'm happy to tell you that this problem is solved in the new Halium 7.1 port of the FP2, by @peat_psuwit. This port isn't pushed officially right now, but can already be installed. See this topic to install the Halium 7.1 port (you will also need to install gstreamer-droid to have the flashlight working).

However, please wait a few days before doing that installation, the core devs actually are upgrading to Qt 5.12 so you should not use apt at the moment. See this topic to know when things will be back to normal.

@lduboeuf stable. I'll check logs later this evening.

@totalrando For future ref use Topic Tools (cog wheel top right) ask as question then mark as solved. I have done it this time

@syper Hi. I thought this video player could read 3gpp format but no, alas. I didn't find a 3gpp player working with UT.
is the project to implement new formats still on your drawing board?

@nikfrager hello Nikfrager, thank you very much. I went to the link and read it. But i am not sure about the status. it seems to be too detailed for me.

Is f5321 supported? or in the progress of being supported?
Why is f5321 in the list of the UBports installer?

Thank you very much,
Matthias
