@UBportsNews And many happy returns! 🙂

@Kristoffer_Umea said in Ubuntu Touch Q&A 155 Call for Questions:

@arubislander True, but UT can install Android apps due to Waydroid so I fail to see what's going to break.

For one, not all Android apps work on Waydroid. And it is not often possible to know beforehand which will and which won't work.

Waydroid is a layer if I'm not mistaken.

Not exactly, Waydroid is a container, in this it is different to WINE on the desktop. WINE is a translation layer for system calls. Waydroid is actual Lineage OS running in a container.

For your use case, this would mean having it running in the background constantly, which currently would drain your battery very quickly.

Of course you are the only person who can decide if these tradeoffs are worth it.

I have Focal 20.04 OTA-6 installed on a OnePlus 6T a few weeks ago. Now in the Updates list there is a notification that Ubuntu touch Version 17 is downloaded and ready to install.

But the Install button is not working, because the Restart & Install process (specifically, the software restart) does not generally work on OP 6T.

Anyone know a workaround? Will OTA-7 fix this bug?

Hi @kuailexs For device info on the devices website see: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/about/device-file/ , you'll find the file format and templates.

I don't know about adding repositories for a new device. I'd try asking in the porting group on Telegram.

Would you lovely lads please be so kind to mention these two events in the Netherlands?

Hello again,

I have other questions regarding UT apart from porting it to devices.

Could you please inform us if there will be an improvements and additional features coming later on such as AOD and Double Tap??

Thanks.
