@mihael thanks for the investigation, in this case it seems indeed a regression to add to the fact that it don't conform to the spec. I'm beginning to think to create an issue on Gitlab.

@mariogrip i was able to install 26.04-1.x daily in POCO X3(surya) ,Redmi note 9 pro(curtana) through switching channel through adb shell and using adb shell.but now it is supported and unable to install.Also i have installed in Redmi note 9 (merlin) version 28,29 and updated to version 30.Now I have stopped updating through switching channel and installer.It is still running in 26.04-1.x daily.Why this devices were disabled ?

@MrT10001 I reran the installer three times. It didn't work. So the third time I used this guide. And it worked! You're awesome man! Thanks!

@DJac Both of these issues only started occurring for me after upgrading to version 24.04-1. But I'm sure the developers will find a solution. Otherwise, I’m satisfied with UT on my Xperia. The only long-standing bug that hasn’t been—or can’t be—fixed is the streak in the main camera’s image when you zoom in too much. It isn’t visible in the photos in the gallery, but you can see it in the video. But as mentioned, this bug has been known for a long time.

@Zer0 Absolutely no one will ever stick with Ubuntu Touch because it works similarly to an iPhone or Android device. These people are also abandoning GrapheneOS even though it’s very similar to Android or iPhone. To stick with Ubuntu Touch, it’s not enough to simply switch operating systems. It’s similar to Linux. So we should focus on the 5% of Linux users. There are iPhone and Android people, Illy, Lavazza, BMW, and Porsche people. Today this, tomorrow that... Those aren’t real changes. The only thing you can change in life is your mindset; the physical aspects will inevitably follow. Isn’t that exactly how it is?

I made just this, and its an actual home screen. Not an app. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/12319/release-homespike-v1.0-a-real-home-screen-for-ubuntu-touch-multi-page-dock-drag-to-reorder-three-placement-modes-true-multitasking

@arubislander said: this is probably the left-overs of some app that shared status info to the greeter infographic Possibly the Lock Message app?

@gpatel-fr Weirdly that does work somewhat, but the process seems to be rather convoluted. Rebooting to the bootloader/fastboot from the adb shell allows the installer to detect the device, but while installing it eventually reboots to recovery and shows a 'failed installation message (error 256)', and then it auto-reboots into the 'System Updater' screen you'd expect from an OTA update. So something about the installer 'unblocked' my previous update attempts (?).

@fischer.poco said: zBsp.: Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC / X3 da fehlt im Netz dann das "/ X3" Damit wird gemeint: Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC oder Xiaomi Poco X3. Oneplus Nord n10 5g ist aber eine gute Wahl!

For info, just installed it on OP3... Made sure the device was on Oxygen OS 9.0.6. unlocked the bootloader Booted to fastboot - then booted TWRP 3.7.0_9 Formatted DATA Wiped Cache, Dalvik/Cache, Storage and System Rebooted to Bootloader (fastboot mode) Used Installer 0.11.2 to test and started the install - device got picked up, no need to select Left "wipe data" unticked Followed instructions and UT installed as expected (Xenial).

@Linus67 Thanks very much. Will try it out…

@gpatel-fr That´s perfect! Thank you very much for solving this stubborn problem. Now I can put the Pixel 3a into ‘Nokia 3210 mode’ with a single click.

@MrT10001 Getting stock Android 11 onto the Lenovo Tab was a real challenge yesterday. Problems: SPflashtool failed due to chip permissions. Attempts using MTK bypass tools also failed How it filaly worked (after ~3 houres) Download Lenovo Software Fix Tool (thanks for the tip) Create a Lenovo account (using a disposable email address) Start the recovery workaround (but you can only flash up to Android 10 !!!!) OK, perform a recovery with Android 10 The recovery tool downloads the ROM (A 11) to your PC Before starting the recovery, you must replace the downloaded Android 10 files with the Android 11 files witch you downloaded from the UBports link bevor. Then start the recovery process and the Lenovo Software Fix Tool will flash the tablet with Android 11, which you’ve placed in its nest, just like a cuckoo’s egg.

@brenno.almeida Amazing work, thank you so much! One thing I noticed - and I don't think it has only started in this latest version - is that if I open a conversation from the app and not from the notification then the notification doesn't dissapear - I think I remember it used to.

@Linus67 Take a look here, maybe you can share your thoughts. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/12319/release-homespike-v1.0-a-real-home-screen-for-ubuntu-touch-multi-page-dock-drag-to-reorder-three-placement-modes-true-multitasking

@projectmoon A GPS Navigator. I was a lot of time searching for a GPS navigator with the functionality I like for me, but I didn't found anyone. So I decided to code my own. I'm reviewing it now for publishing it.

@projectmoon HEY! I run my own gitea server too! I host all my public repos on github tho. more eyeballs. I'm actually writing my own git system called giteam basically a google docs like version control with git on top. about ready to start testing. thanks for the link ill check it out.

@rocket2nfinity if someone can donate the hardware I am willing to give it a go.

Confirming. Before the update, these things worked fine. Is there a way to roll back?

@domubpkm The app itself would be doable but the packages aren't doable since they ust replace system files so translations can't be processed. I mean it's doable but it'll take for someone to modify each file manually and create separate packages per language
