    @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.

    @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.

    @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

    I must admit I feel the same about MC Hammerhead... I have downgraded to a Nexus 4 - much better battery life. The other issue with the 5 that I have had is the on off button failing and that has put the device in a boot loop. The switches are crazy-tiny - and look difficult to replace. Good luck with your battery experiments and please post if you get a good solution.

    Same issue. Maybe it was a mistake to say "unpack them"? Could it be that we should just flash the downloaded zip file as is?
