This morning after having tested that the new version gallery problem was indeed 'fixed' by returning to the previous stable, I wanted to upgrade to RC and again I see the lack of upgrade channels. For screenshot see https://forums.ubports.com/post/95155 . This may be a new problem, or not. I have never wanted to switch back and forth like that previously. Edit: I restarted the phone again and the channels were back to normal. This is a transient problem. Edit 2: checking again, the Update parameters screen is displaying 'Channel: candidate', the system state displays '1.2' and checking updates says that everything is up-to-date. This is a bit messed up

@tr4in33 - unfortunately, it is very unlikely any Unihertz product will ever get a decently functioning port for Ubuntu Touch, because that company is absolutely horrible (and in fact in violation of the licensing) for ever posting the kernel source for its devices. Best regarfs, Steve Berson

Account set and paired to the phone. @chromiumos-guy Honestly I didn't understand a word @kln_nurv The last link provided by @wally states "At the end of 2024, Xiaomi will start to check the regions in which your Mi account is used. For example, if your phone or tablet is designed for the Chinese domestic market, you will only be able to unlock the bootloader with a Chinese account. If you try to unlock the bootloader of a Chinese phone from a global account, you’ll get an error: ‘The place where the account is registered does not match the place where the phone is sold’." I hope Global accounts don't have the weird limitations you mentioned. The MiUnlock version from the Ubports devices site didn't work properly in my laptop, so I downloaded the last version from the last link provided by @wally. I can launch the app but cannot connect to the phone. "Mi Unlock not connected to the phone. Possible driver issue or incorrect application folder name. Also possible bad smartphone-PC connection due to poor quality cable." I guess it is the cable. I realized that i skipped "Submitting an application through the Mi Community app.". Is it necessary?

@projectmoon As I understand it apps work like that currently in UT? You can use UT Tweak Tool to have apps ignore this. Experiments you mention may vary from device to device based on the silicon which is fine if your OS is only targeted to one processor for example.

@nbdynl That sounds great. Does it also work with no apps open tho? Is this a MariKit or Lomiri Plus option?

@Balrong It is possible to install a click by browsing the web site open-store.io, download it and install from there. yes the install is an option as advised by @mrt10001. I have found no other way to install again with UT already installed than running 'sudo reboot bootloader' and launching the installer from there (after connecting the USB cable of course).

@Moem I second this, I've been wondering why this was on recent in the inTouch app for who knows how long.

@arubislander yeah i was just double checking cause you know? idk i just didnt want to be rude lol but thank yeah ill drop it eventually rn im working on a esp32p4 project

@ChromiumOS-Guy what really has me confused tho is the same issue with the webserver as well but its actually between two apps instead of the one its like its not firing off until it registers focus

@Lalle75 said: Hi. I got my Volla now for some hours. I'm working with Linux (Debian and Ubuntu) for >10 years now, but I cannot achieve anything on this system. Hello Lalle, I think the answers provided by UT FAQ 8 (https://t.me/UTFAQ/10) may be useful for you: "8. Can I use apt on Ubuntu Touch? yesn't [yes and no]. Ubuntu Touch is built with privacy, reliability and stability accross a wide range of devices in mind. It is crucial that the developers are able to quickly reproduce and fix bugs across devices to ensure no faulty update ever makes it to the stable channel on any device, ever. To achieve this the rootfs is read-only. This allows UBports to provide image based updates. When you run an OTA update it replaces the read-only part of the operating system. Userdata is not a part of that, so you don't lose that or installed apps. But apt is not designed for a read-only rootfs, so as a result it will attempt to write to the read-only portion of the operating system. While you can remount your rootfs as read-write, because apt is writing into a normally read-only part of the system, an OTA update can partially overwrite the changes apt made. This can result in a broken system. So using apt essentially means you are running your own fork of Ubuntu Touch. You can install apps from the OpenStore app. How to get updates is described in our usage channel. there are other package managers that are made to work with a readonly rootfs, current working examples include snap and crackle (https://github.com/tuxecure/crackle)."

@CL_Linuxx porting UT to a new device may be a task for a UT beginner but not for a Linux beginner. If you don't have compiled many Linux kernels and have no clue about Android design and development you will have a mountain to climb.

@kugiigi i use it for copy/pasting highlighted text on xfce but i really dont know what you'd use it for on windows.

@Moem thank you!

Update: I've just noticed that the signal strength indicator works only during a call but there is no function once a call is terminated.

@mf22 said: Most things seem to work, GPS does not. Are you accounting for the fact that we don't have A-GPS?

@aimar I sync notes between my phone and my computer this way. Syncthing from the open store to syncthing on a Xubuntu computer. Works well, but I have to manually run Syncthing from time to time to do the sync, as I don't want to try running it continously on the phone.

More features: https://github.com/brennoflavio/greenline/releases Now you can reply to messages Text input box now renders correctly Contact messages now renders correctly, and you can send contact messages Chat page should load faster now Chat list page now updates when you receive a message and app is opened in background User metrics should work now Really big text messages should render now, and be collapsed

@R66F root, you'd probably need to use a custom waydroid gsi with SU binaries. from there just install one of the many root modules/frameworks that let you spoof app id's

@hacknorris I found a way to run grafx2. I installed it in libertine, then, to allow touchscreen input, I had to enable windowed mode in UT Tweak Tool (for best experience also tick auto hide launcher option), and resize grafx2 window to fullscreen using the title bar button. However I did this on noble, so it may not work or require different steps on focal.
