@libremax said in Where does Ubuntu Touch come from? And why clarify it?: With the current communication about Ubuntu Touch (which doesn't make explicit the extent of the resources involved in building it), the newcomer may believe that it's something cooked up by a dozen or so guys and therefore has no chance of getting anywhere near the competitors. The reason I use the word 'unhelpful' is because mentioning all the upstream components and the development that goes into those, does not affect in the least the viability of this project in particular. All these upstream components will continue to be produced with or without UT, because they are not produced specifically for UT. They are widely used in other Linux distro's. UT is based on Ubuntu, so it is heavily dependent on software libraries that are packaged by Canonical and the Ubuntu Community. Yet Canonical no longer develops UT. So all the bits that make UT its own thing are now maintained, developed and updated by the UBports community. Let us compare the situation to brand X car factory. They are dependent on suppliers and manufacturers for many of the parts for their car, so they source those from well established suppliers that are also used by every other car manufacturing company. There will be some custom parts that are produced by the brand X car factory themselves. If brand X is a small player in the automotive industry, then their supply chain is of course very important, but not the weakest link in the process of producing their cars. To boost their appeal to investors they could mention all the effort that goes into the components in their supply chain, as if all these efforts were expended directly to produce brand X. While this would give a more complete picture of the whole manufacturing process, it would also be misleading, in a sense, because all the upstream components would be manufactured anyway, and the effort expended there would in no way make brand X more viable and future proof. Their own smaller production and assembly capacity would be what investors would need to factor in and keep an eye on, and that is where brand x company would need to improve to be perceived as more viable.

@gpatel-fr it was about a year ago, I didn't do extensive testing, but none of the .mkv I tried worked, and .mp4 were very hit-and-miss. Good to know it isn't Hallium-related, perhaps there's hope to fix it on this device. @Charly the issue w/ that is that, AFAIK, Libertine apps aren't hardware-accelerated, and video playback often gets choppy (it was one of the workarounds I tried). Didn't try the snap version though.

@DJac Yep! If you want, you could scroll to top, click the gear icon near the blue reply button, Mark as a Question, then Mark as Solved. Helps with forum tidiness.

@Moem said ... most of us have full lives and don't read the forums every day. Me too, usually. I just focused to try to get something working, due to 30 day ebay seller return policy. Failed interaction with Oneplus support ate up 12 days of that.

@gpatel-fr Huh! A challenge like that. I'll try my best...

@RapidRotator said in What is quality level of external wireless display mode on Nord N10 5G: @oldbutndy I honestly never looked in what is making Jellyfin see my TV as something it can cast to, while it specifically mentions Google Cast to be unsupported, but it works, without any other dongles hanging out of its HDMI ports. Hmmm, can you tell me exact model of your TV ? I will research that, see if similar direct WiFi to my LG Smart TV (which apparently supports Miracast, since I did not do anything special to get UT phone to display on it.) I specifically bought LG TV (used) because I read somewhere that its OS is Linux, and built-in browser was functional (thought slow, like most). (I never use it, since everything connected to TV is FASTER & has more DRAM). Related note: I tried a Samsung S20 wired directly to TV, running their DeX mode. looked good. But, I would want to install UT (not available), or LineageOS. So, checked LOS, & they say VoLTE not working ! So, Oneplus Nord N10 (or possibly a couple others soon, I just read) is STILL the best option for USA, as of 2026jan12.

@MarcelloTogg Yes

@projectmoon said in standard browser: is there something in the DB that allows it to select a browser without excluding apps from the list by doing a fake domain? no, that's why I did this ugly hack (that will most probably not survive an update btw). Adding a column named for example pref_order to the urls table and sorting by it instead of the row_id (that can't be changed since it's an implicit column) could allow to change dynamically the browser. It would be nice to have if alternative browsers could be used. I don't know if the packagers for alternative browsers would be motivated enough to search what is missing for that.

@developer there are some freedesktop standards we need, also flatpak integration, outside of that we need eSIM support and way way better waydroid support. outside of that we need a waydroid compatibilty chart for every major banking app in every country we also need guides to what messanger has what feature supported natively and how to set it up. also we probably want to make a public transport app and start supporting every single country we can. we also need sms forwarding (i remember people asking about it in the forums) a secure wallet for NFC, so someone needs to expose the treble APIs for hardware backed encryption so we can store credit card NFC tags safely. (to please the google/apple pay users) and much much more. we need to compile every UT feature and aspire to feature parity with vanila android (not the apps just pure android) i'd make a full comparison chart but i dont have the time

@pparent As I like it so far I'm going to do my best. It's quite a challange and I like challenges even if they are hard... EJ

It really does seem to be a power issue. Do you have other phones that can output to a display? You can test that. Am I right that you also use a portable monitor? Even with a separate power supply to it and the dock, the flicker still happens? In my experience, sometimes the sequence of connecting the ports may change the behavior or docks and such. I didn't experience the same issue of flickering but I had some other strange behavior with my adapter when connecting the power cable. The same with my portable monitor. I need to connect my phone first then the power to the monitor so that touch would work, otherwise, only the display output works but not the external touch input.

Thanks so much for this! One less webber webapp needed.

@MrT10001 thanks

@MrT10001 does it also work on 2GB/32GB version with android 10 because there isn't a update to android 11?

@lduboeuf done https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-calendar-app/-/issues/260

@Sander - Wow. Thank you so much!! This is amazing!! I never thought to try to tap somewhere else. This is absolutely awesome and makes using the terminal a pleasant experience, even on a phone! Thanks again for sharing this gem!!

@yuu-ä3 System settings offered the upgrade and unwisely I applied it only to find the phone more-or-less bricked. After a few false starts (see my posts) I was able to restore 20.04. My advice: DON'T TOUCH 24.04 on OP6 or 6T until there is an announcement about the port (Unless you are able to contribute to the porting work)

(SOLVED)i forgoted to flash vbmeta and now config works

@MrT10001 thanks. forgot about twrp possibility
