    @Alain This featute isn't in UT/Lomiri yet. Simplest way is to make something like a home screen app and there are some that exists already like Launcher Modular. Not sure they have app groups though. You can contribute to them if you don't want to make your own. However, they obviously act like a normal app. Best you can do is pin it to the Launcher for easy access. Or you can contribute to Lomiri and implement it in the App drawer which definitely needs some love There's even a bounty for it so there's money to get

    Hi Zaito, so sorry for delay, I have only just logged on in ages. I tested it on GS5 only - installed UT 24.04 because it was the only way to make phonecalls when 3g packed up. Nothing I did enabled Waydroid to persist. Meaning that if waydroid was closed for any reason, you couldn't reboot it without a completely fresh installation. This rectified in June with a new UT update. Everything works well in both UT and Waydroid with one exception; there is no clipboard on waydroid. Which means you cannot copy or paste anything in any circumstances. If I need waydroid copy facilities I have to use another phone running UT20.04. Hope all is well.

    zfs on Ubuntu touch

    TL;DR: use BTRFS or proxy the ZFS via NFS @RJDan said in zfs on Ubuntu touch: [...] better supported on linux, it seemed to be a clear win for zfs. Well, unfortunately that is not the case, ZFS is not supported without adding kernel modules via DKMS. That is because of licensing issues which prevent it from being built-in the kernel like BTRFS and EXT4. DKMS cannot work on Halium kernels as they are based on patched downstream android kernel. I thought FUSE was an option, but after trying to install it on my device I found out zfs-fuse is deprecated, and I couldn't make it work. So the only way is to build the kernel with patches for the ZFS module, beforehand. This is however very complex and I wouldn't recommend it. There is a workaround, to have a NFS/Samba as a proxy to the ZFS file system so that the UT device accesses the file system remotely. The more straight-forward approach is to change the file system to BTRFS, assuming it meets your use cases. If you only need snapshots and backups, you should be fine.

    This is a known issue and yes the workaround for now is to enable "save device info" which was the default prior the update anyway. There will be a fix so that rotation will always be saved.

    @uwahl said in UT filemanager preview rotated picture orientation issue: Anything I could do? You could start by checking if there is already an issue opened in the File Manager issue tracker (link can be found in the Open Store listing of the app). If there already is an issue opened, you can check if there is additional info that can be added. If you can code (or are willing to learn) you could jump in and try to solve the issue and open an MR when you have.

    @haagch said in Volla Quintus Update fails: I guess I'll mark this as solved even though going through RC is more of a workaround than an actual solution, because the update really should just work. Hi @haagch , This is the way to go. The forum is not a bug tracker. You had an issue someone helped you solve it. For reporting bugs it should be done in the Gitlab or Github dedicated to the proper project. Can be Ubuntu Touch, a specific app, a device specific issue, ...

    @kuuga What OS are you using for your host PC in the installation? If ADB cannot see the device, especially when the phone is in "fastboot" mode, with a windows host, this is probably because of missing google android drivers. On a Linux host, the command line tools from google should just work as-is after extraction. (In my bumbling around I used both.) Windows google-android driver: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb This guide below was extremely helpful for me, specifically the sections "Prerequisites" and "Unlocking Bootloader" since google's developer pages have so many dead 404 links. The other sections can be ignored if using UBPorts installer. https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-pixel-3a-sargo-unlock-bootloader-update-root-pass-safetynet.4443459/ Don't forget to downgrade your Pixel3a to Android 9 before running UBPorts installer.

    @MV said in SMS Group: I was looking for this topic and i find this 'old' thread. Is it possible to create group for SMS? If I try to create a group, it seems that the APP consider it as an MMS group that I'm not interested in because in this case the data-connection should be activated (and anyway it doesn't work). Is there anyone that a feedback or the situation is the same as posted the 9 June 2020? Thank you in advance afaik group chat doesn't exist in the SMS protocol. Or i missed something. You can broadcast sms to several users, but the answer will be on the sender contact thread.

    @journeyman09 Pegasus seems to target Android and iOS. So not a threat for Ubuntu Touch. But even if it were, you would have needed to install it yourself, or have run / installed a click package from outside the Open Store.

    I still can’t get wifi/bluetooth, even after using the Lenovo Software Fix tool to reset to android (where wifi/bluetooth work well on it) and started the installation again from the beginning. I still have the last image of UT flashed and followed the instructions well. (+ and the command fastboot format:ext4 userdata works correctly now, no need to format through the tablet) Maybe I should try to reinstall with ubports (hoping not to back again into the bootloop problem) or use another image ? (Maybe for some unknown reason, this image is problematic for me ?)

    @ikoz said in adjustable playback speed: t should be relatively easy with a script using ffmpeg, either in Libertine or bundled in an app. The following command should work: ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -filter:a "atempo=1.5" output.mp3 Thanks you so much! It worked! For anyone interested. I first installed ffmeg in the Libertine client. Looked for the mp3 file in the folder and used the following script to run the script in the libertine container: libertine-lauch -i CONTAINER-IDENTIFIER ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -filter:a "atempo=1.5" output.mp3 Really nice! And because of this I begin slowly exploring the power of Libertine!

    First of all, it'll be really hard to address your concerns since you're in xenial which is outdated for more than a year now. The bugs you encountered might already be fixed but will never be fixed in xenial. Also please tell us which device you have. It may also be possible that your device have a port that is unmaintained or not in good quality. I've never encountered your issue with the lockscreen and alarm. Perhaps you used passwd to change your password? You shouldn't do that since the settings app does something else and the system expects those. I've been using my UT device for my alarms for a decade now and I don't remember it failing. We don't have any complexities in time such as daylight savings though which perhaps causes these issues? As for Libertine, it really is under-developed and never found it reliable. It works for some cases but definitely not with GUI apps. For encryption, someone has experimented with it but nothing official yet. At the end of the day, someone has to put the effort on it but so far no one succeeded yet.

    @arubislander Yeah, I've never encountered this issue as well except when dealing with external displays. Using passwd` is discouraged because it may cause issues since there are other things that happens when you change the passcode/passphrase in the settings app.
