@stefancito70 said in How can I lock again my Pixel 3a XL after installing ubuntu touch?:

It is just a blemish.

I propose to see it as something positive... a badge of honour. A scar, acquired in a battle for freedom, which you won by freeing the device from the grasp of Google. ⚔

@MrT10001 I installed Android again with google flash tool and now it works! (Perhaps because now ADB is installed on my PC)
Thank you very much for your help!!!
Tomorrow I try to install ubuntu touch again, hopefully without any problem 🙂
Have a nice evening,
Best wishes

@arubislander Thank you very much for the quick response! It's a shame that oem locked phones even exist. If the product is great, one should not fear competition.

I'll get another phone and fingers crossed with oem unlocking possible.

@AppLee Thank you for the clear description of the issue. I had a similar problem with my Huawei Mate 20 pro running android - EMUI update v12 never came to Australia due to politics but is required for VoLTE. Once updated it works fine.

I realised during this process that I needed a newer base version of android to enable this feature on the pixel 3a XL. I would be happy to assist in trialing a solution. I am familiar with basic porting process and have a samsung S7 successfully running Lineage OS. But by far my favourite is UB Touch so I'm motivated to find a solution.

Any hints on where I should start? Yes, have donated to the UB Touch project already and happy to contribute further.

Thanks again. Look forward to helping however I can.

@stanwood Thanks for the Tip,

I think I am going to do a fresh install to version 20.04 instead of upgrading from 16.04 to 20.04.

@Salah
This repository (https://gitlab.com/rubencarneiro/custom_bootlogos) has custom boot logos.
I didn't find instructions for how to make your own though, maybe @rubencarneiro could help?

Oh well, you will be successful.

@Salah
You can make an enhancement issue I guess.
Here maybe : https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri/-/issues

@lduboeuf I see. Will hope will find away soon. What about AOD, is there any possibility to be enabled ??

@MrT10001 Yes, you have to be careful these days. I watch this LinusTechTips channel from time to time, I think.

@Enrico13011978
It's best to be very gentle here. I've reverted to a flip-phone to avoid bad feelings.

@ikoz Thanks for your reply.

I will see about that.

Thanks again.

@Salah
This how you change ringtone for every contact:
Open the contact app
Pick a contact and open edit mode, the pen up in the right corner
Tapp on: add field
Scroll down to the last row: Ringtone

Dear folks,

I have been through this topic but I really did not understand those steps how to return back to stock Android 9 in case some thing happen to my device (Google Pixel 3a XL)..

Therefore, is there any clear & easy instructions to return back to stock android 9 ??

Thanks,

honestly with xaiomi devices i find it just easier to fastboot flash <partition> filename.img ....its a pain but at the end of the day its just easier ...so on your pixel it would prob be easier to do the same ...also it sounds like your android-tools install is either old version or borked

@captainfuzzyface said in GhostCloud on Pixel 3A XL attempt to sync contacts:

@captainfuzzyface Seems that GhostCloud isn't intended for syncing Calendar and Contacts as I thought. I'm back to configuring the standard CalDav and CardDav.

In this forum, you should find some topics about cardav sync, there are users who have shared how to do that with syncevolution iirc

@MrT10001
Issues resolved. Thank you.

@domubpkm yes, they are. But not all vulnerabilities affect the specific usecase of UT. You must also consider how easy it is, or if it is at all possible, to exploit the vulnerability on UT. Also UT has less packages installed than a typical Ubuntu desktop / server install.

All I can tell you is that the UT devs do keep an eye on the CVE's and act on those that are deemed a present and serious threat on UT.

@Peter-Gamma

Keyboard and mouse work which is great

as soon as these office apps I mentioned here are in the open store:

https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10240/is-there-a-decent-text-editor-for-ubuntu-touch-part-ii

I will replace:

my Android phone and

my Pinephone

by a Pixel 3 with Ubuntu Touch for mobile office

But only the Light P Word Processor in th OpenStore is too litte to make me change.
