@oldbutndy I get and appreciate the idea, that's unfortunately still not what I'm working on. I first and foremost wanna be done with my current task (and exams coming up are not helping that!). Once I'm done I have a few things planned out for betterment of user-experience, hopefully I can find a way to incorporate your suggestions too

@undrwater the thing is Ubuntu Touch is a left, top OS. It would ideal is developers follow the Human Interface Guidelines and stop pushing bottom controls into apps. And again, there is no «global back» concept because we have the app spread to switch from app to app. And the launcher to launch apps. Of course there's an in-app back, end it is on the top left corner.

@developerbayman said: @pparent this is good to know basically 99% of all my stuff is on qt6 i would hate to have to refactor back to qt5 Anyway this is only a question of time before Qt6 gets integrated in the system and become the standard for app development. Now to publish a Qt6 app to the openstore you have to bundle the whole Qt6 library with you're app which might be a bit heavy, be soon this should not be a problem anymore.

On my home wifi I have no issues, so just playing around with the phone now. It's very smooth and responsive. Wonder how it will work with my SIM here in Japan.

I tried with another display, it works! It seems, for some odd reason, my main display is the cause. Thank you all for help! P.S.: It's really cool to have this working, so I can now make FP5 my main device. Ubports is such a great project, after leaving Windows to Manjaro, I now can leave the Google ecosystem too and gain back control of my hardware. Just to mention, waydroid works as well very nice. Not everything is perfect (I have issue with bluetooth), but what it offers, is good enough for me, I can live with the workarounds for the rest, until things are fully working sometime in the future (hopefully).

@Kadafi said: reinstall UT (2 or 3 retries) The point is that it is not normal to retry an installation. If your hardware is good, it should work the first time or never.

@arubislander yeah. When I go to recovery mode and reboot from there, the device start as expected and I get to Lomiri environment. Though this is not working 100% - for example I tried now and got into a reboot loop again I'm trying to find a pattern and while rebooting from the recovery mode (I'm in recovery and click on "reboot") works most of the time eventually, it's not all the time. Makes no sense to me.

@PhAndersson Can connect with bluetooth a Volla with Volla OS to a Volla 22 with UT noble. Try to send a little video from Volla to Volla 22 following the procedure. But doesn't work currently. File not sent / received.

@Martin230799 check NetworkManager is enabled make sure this file looks like this: phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=true [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no if ifupdown managed is false, networkmanager is not managing the network interfaces. in my case it somehow works with it being false but that is most certianly some kind of bug, it should be true.

@Moem said: it's definitely possible to get quite similar specs at very affordable prices similar specs and prices, yes indeed. And the op5t seems more easily unlockable. but not at equivalent features (according to devices.ubuntu-touch.io) Now yes the op5t is an interesting option, if VoLTE is not in use.

This will not be possible as a confined app. You will need a background service that listen to incoming sms and forward it. I'm not sure if such app can be allowed in the openstore, but here is a few things to know. First create your background service, it could be in standard python if you are familiar with. Ofono is the service that emit notifications when new incoming sms, it uses dbus. api can be found here: https://github.com/rilmodem/ofono/blob/master/doc/messagemanager-api.txt (old repository but sending and receiving sms still like that ) AI can help you with a minimal script. then when your service seems to work, you have to create all the plumbery to install/remove/run it, you can find an example with battery-saver app: https://gitlab.com/lduboeuf/battery-saver/

@mihael said: @pparent Definitely. In the first releses of beta, sound quality was awfull both on desktop and UT. Now the sound quality is good on both. So I think that it was not something related to UT. Great to hear, I will try it again myself when I have the opportunity!

@Shriharsh-Kulthe It is an old phone (with the micro USB port) and the fact it updated to Noble may indicate further work may be done. It is not a common device though and I did use it for my main UT device for a while.

@projectmoon funnely enough we had the same idea hours apart, i stopped development on my end (no need to have two apps for the same thing). thanks this is huge because now i can have push notifications for my university mail (dekko can't login to my university mail I have it forwarded to my protonmail).

@gpatel-fr it does not work. The symptoms are the same.

@mihael Not on all devices, I expect. Some need a more complicated song and dance to unlock.

This is cool. Not sure though if gamepad input now works properly in UT but the touchscreen controls would suffice

No problem for devices with MTK Power Bypass. @arubislander said: Unless you don't mind your battery degrading, because the device would be constantly plugged in to the charger, you would have to device a routine for charging and discharging the device.

@KJU said: About adb&fastboot from the UT terminal, though, any such barrier there? There shouldn't be, no. I happened to pull a file from one UT device to another via ADB. So I know that works. In haven't tested fastboot myself, but I see no reason it wouldn't work.

@gpatel-fr You are correct. "How to enable developer mode" states enable USB debugging (<- me bad - didn't see correctly), ADB, or Android D... Bridge". Sheng-Cheih P.s. i'll try again after shower nap - so sleepy now.
