@povoq said in Unconfined apps: you can install apps through the UTtweak tool, unconfined or not. @cibersheep said in Unconfined apps: Yes. Through UTTT or OpenStore App I was not sure you could do that also with unconfined apps. @povoq said in Unconfined apps: and I honestly would find it terrible if that would be further restricted. Maybe yes, but at least it could be there some warning telling the app that is going to be installed by this way is unrestricetd/unconfined, thus could lead to some security issue.

@unrealb2 : I think @AppLee is right. Being able to view web/video better and having a large keyboard are plus points of huge phones. Of course, downside to them is they're less easy to carry. In that respect smaller phones are better. Which type you prefer is all a matter of priority. Unfortunately, choice in the latter category is limited. A few more phones would be nice.

@c4pp4 Thank you very much, it worked ! I'll mark this as solved

@domubpkm I don't know what's the device of OP. Edit : as far as i can see from his previous posts, he owns a FP2, but still, don't know if it's a Halium 9 port he runs on. Edit 2 : most advanced port for FP2 is 7.1 https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6021/halium-7-1-test-channel/17

@prog-amateur @Moem is right this is not something possible at the moment. That's a big issue and many people expect this feature sooner than later. Be sure that when this is possible you'll hear drums and trumpet :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@dobey said in Android apps converter. Crazy talk ?: Good news! Android is still Linux. So your heart shouldn't have to suffer too much. @marek_python That's where leads the "Linux" instead of "GNU/Linux" thing lol

@applee Thanks for the hint. I might try it one of theses days, but right now I'm perfectly fine with the solution I've found.

@l-00548 Glad it was useful as that was what I hoped might help others with the same interest in getting a cheap means of trying UBports UT. I am still extremely pleased with this OS and I am now looking at apps that do the same as the ones I use on my Android phone. I am also re-assessing the apps I have on my Android phone and if I actually need to have them. I know that GPS works on my Nexus 5 but even after to trying uNav and Pure Maps several times, it is still takes several minutes to get "locked on". Occassionally some things seem a bit laggy and then when doing other things the phone seems very smooth and slick. It may be that this what you get from 8 year old hardware even with a lightweight OS. So I continue to look for and try apps for my day to day use. I am currently looking for a new password manager as the Bitwarden app, which I already use on my laptop and Android phone, doesn't seem properly to work in the UT app or web app.

@applee Oh yes you're right. Now I see what it is... Thank you. So I confirm there's no kind of such a Led working on Redmi Note 7, UT OTA-16 Stable. Btw, there's no charge indicator on this device yet. Nothing's shown on the display when USB-C cable is plugged in, but battery does charge correctly anyway.

@stanwood confirm, Im using xiaomi note 7 for 2 weeks as my main phone. No problems. No battery drains. Screen is good and quality of pictures also. I can recomend this hardware

Hi, when is the deadline?

@povoq So i'm safe with my deprecated kernel? :face_with_tears_of_joy:

@rik said in VoLTE and 3G shutdowns: Does UT have nmcli available? I am not even sure.... Yes, but it does not have mmcli which is for modem-manager, as UT does not use it. I don't know what the equivalent command to issue an arbitrary AT command to the modem would be for ofono, which UT uses.

At the moment I have ubports packages installed in my system (also to work with Android HAL?) from 2020-08-27. From ubports_GSI_installer_v10.zip ~$ dpkg -l | grep libandroid | awk '{printf "%s\n", $3}' 0.1.3+ubports3+0~20200827080951.2~1.gbp002f19 now, as far as I see in the repository packages from 2020-11-13. May be it fix the problem: https://repo.ubports.com/dists/xenial_-_android9_-_gralloc-20201113062738141602671/ If I apt upgrade them, I get a brick... I wrote in another post. I can't install with ubports-installer - errors, brick... tried on different computers. I would like to get an OTA instead of a GSI somehow. But it's kind of a dead end. And I've already setup a lot of things... and I don't know what settings get lost during re-installation and how to return them.

@kugiigi ok ! I was not aware about this "hidden" detail, it's confusing. For me Nextcloud account sync means obviously Contacts and Calendar + optional features (trough this sync or through specific apps). Now I really understand te reason of his thread and agree with the fact that when you leave iOS or Android for Ubuntu Touch, you expect to have self hosted sync or alternative sync, although it is good to see Google sync. Contact sync is a very important feature, I hope it will be implemented.

@cibersheep Ha, interesting. Rebooted and it pauses now. My bad. Thanks!

Hi @kjetil Most android based ports use a firmware blob to access the camera. It's not a standard V4L so it would be hard to use it for your computer. On the other hand, maybe it can work with the PinePhone. I cannot remember if it uses V4L or not... And maybe there is also hope with the VollaPhone.
