@arubislander just wanted to play around with linux on a phone the only other phones i have are 2 galaxy s5 minis but theyre unsupported and i dont have other phones laying around

The trial by commandline ended with an error: phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cd /home/phablet/Downloads phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Downloads$ sudo pkcon --allow-untrusted install-local openstore.openstore-team_3.6.1_arm64.click [sudo] password for phablet: Installing files [==============] Finished [==============] Testing changes [ == ] The daemon crashed mid-transaction!ror != NULL' fphablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Downloads$ (pkcon:7424): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 21:45:29.836: GTask 0x5dcdc8c040 (source object: 0x5dcdc8eb90, source tag: 0x72416fff00) finalized without ever returning (using g_task_return_*()). This potentially indicates a bug in the program.

The current 24.04-1.x/stable doesn't install properly on my 3axl using UBports Installer 0.11.2. it doesn't result in a valid recovery installed on the device. On the reboot to recovery step, I volume-down until it selects recovery mode, then hit the power button. It sits at the Google logo for a while, then reboots and enters the bootloader again with the reason "No valid slot to boot". Trying to get it to enter recovery again results in it entering the bootloader with the reason "error booting boot.img". Installing 20.04 then OTA upgrading to 24.04 works fine. The current 24.04-1x/daily DOES install correctly through the ubports-installer however. While it's fixed on daily, I mention it because it tripped me up a few times on a few reinstalls. I'm hoping daily gets into stable soon!

@Bolly said in Where can i highlight spelling errors on app pages on the OpenStore website?: Besides, you had to open an issue in each application, not both in the same application. Thanks for the heads up, I overlooked that mistake. I'll get around to fixing it.

Hi @Gabriel.de. That's great to hear. Welcome to the UBports forum.

@Keneda said in Desperate guy Here: Why wouldn't you advice to update to 24.04 ? I don't know how good that currently is on Volla22. I'm not advising against it, mind you. I simply don't know.

@ikoz said in UBPorts Phone for children (restricted use) and parents (as root) - [Parental Control]: NoDisplay=true Does not work for me on ubuntu 24.04.1

@ikoz I think that I can plug my questions here, don't seem to be incompatible with the topic. I have looked up treble on the internet, I have seen it on f-droid but not on google store, so it's not a standard android feature I understand ? Also, what's up with vndk deprecation for Android 15 ? Has libhybris any chance of being updated to use the new-fangled apexes ? Maybe it's a question that should be asked on the Q&A - or maybe it has already been discussed ? TIA

Hi @O.o. It will certainly help others when they see how far you've come. The latest in your other thread <Taking the plunge> about banking apps and others stuff: @O.o. said in Taking the plunge: I've been dithering and hesitating to give Ubuntu Touch a spin for months, and the obscene Google monopoly's decision to kill off deGoogled ROMs and open-source repos finally pushed me over the edge. I've ordered a Fairphone 5, onto which I'll install Ubuntu Touch, and hopefully I will make it my new daily driver. For the things I need that don't exist in the OpenStore, I intend to start developing for Ubuntu Touch. I suppose it had to happen one day. Google made it today. Wish me luck Many thanks and Greetings Mario

Any update? I am interessed in giving my kid a smartphone with no distraction

@MrT10001 Thank you for your tip. I changed for two days to the 24.04-1x Daily and it updated automatically to the stable version, now it works like a charm, no more flickering. It seems like the YouTube app has a heavy bug. At this point, I really think that now the time is come to provide all the developers with a reliable device farm. Thanks UT for the magic! Gabriel

@mr_growl Looks like I got something running in a virtual machine, but it is very, very slow probably due to the instruction translations to the ARM processor among other factors. Needless to say, it can run, but it will take forever under these specs if it doesn't crash. I've been eyeing a desktop PC for a while. I might have to take the plunge when the means become available. If I can't get this to work on my hardware, I will let you know.
