@NeoTheThird Awewome, thanks !!!

@dobey said in Paid proprietary apps on Open Store?: Nobody is against you making a paid app and putting in the store. WTF? To be clear! I dont have that intention. Its not about me making money. I think I will leave it there. I have meant it in good faith, but I think it does not make any sense to go further.

@lduboeuf Okay, so I reinstalled UT. I'll test it tomorrow. I suspect the messaging is working fine. I thought something might be off because a text that's regularly sent from my employer did not show up. I then searched, found the bug, and, I suspect mistakenly, assumed that the phone was not displaying this text I was expecting. It turns out that no one in my work place received this regular communique from my employer. So, likely nothing is wrong. But, to verify, tomorrow I plan to text a lot of people to see if more than a few conversations show up.

@Stefano Many many thanks! I think that might work. I'll try and keep you posted

@AsgerBj Great your up and running. First stop read through this thread https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3323/arm64-apps-and-testing/6 There's some great stuff in there and this https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B53ODful5D1wfjZRZHd3SjN2NlNBYld0LUpFUWt3Y0ZvVENyUmdsYWlYUWpGWi00YjhQTjg?usp=sharing full of apps from @mateo_salta

@mirroronthewall I used this one Polarcell Li-Polymer Akku LG Google Nexus 5 (item No 01000596) from Wannsee Electronic in Germany and cost £18.86 from ebay.

@MarkG_108 Hi, I'm glad you found how to build your apps. The difference between "old" and "new" projects lies probably in clickable configuration. For this I am a mere user. And regarding the "desktop" mode, I never used it. Congratulation with setting up atom with clickable. Good luck now learning about clickable.

@gibi92 Try ,here " Rob Braxman Tech - youtube” he has done vpn/ Tor ,on Ubports, he shows how to keep your login also.

@crr914 No problem It's what we are all here for. Enjoy.

@14v3nd3r I have an opo myself. I use the installer to reflash when I screwed up. My main problem was getting the right usb driver installed. I think what the installer does is first install a new recovery (the UBports one) with fastboot and then with this new recovery install UBports itself. Therefor it uses the fastboot and adb utilities it also installs (I gave you the path for windows).

Even if I have two days late (sorry, I didn't know the American thanksgiving day ), I think that BALCY with his huge work on morph-browser also specifically deserves a big thank you because without his work, the phones would only have rather limited functions... !!

Well, a reinstallation fixed this, but I think I discovered why it stopped working in the first place. I was attempting to install Anbox on it, and, apparently, from this bug report, that can mess up Wi-Fi: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1264 Some time ago, I had previously installed Anbox on my Ubuntu Touch phone, and that didn't affect Wi-Fi. So, this bug seems to be new.

I use Photon as search engine. And it worked fine until a test I just did... So I guess there could be a problem with Photon right now... OpenCage is working so not an issue on PureMaps, but probably on Photon. BR

@The_Cougar_Kid Okay another dekko click in your inbox, which seems to work on first sight.

@poVoq lol good point...if i get some time this weekend i'll fork the repo and take a look on my machine.

Just tap it

@Emphrath so the dependency on Android is something we cannot change if we want to have devices out there that work. As you might know, so far no hardware vendor came up with any device that is on par with an Android-Hardware device regarding power consumption, robustness/stability of the drivers and in the same way performance for nice UX and effects (something you need for consumers at a certain point). Librem5 is not finished with their power management issues and a lot of doubt if they ever will be - In fact sending the CPUs to stop in 90% of the time of operation creates huge problems when events occur. Thats nothing that will be easy achieved. Pinephone we dont know yet, but could have similar issues. So, as it seems we do not have any alternative hardware at end, do you suggest to have no hardware at all is better than to have one that is backed by low-level Android? As for the 2nd part, being read-only in the root file system has 2 main reasons, which were reiterated in the forum, in the supergroup so many times already: UT doe not use apt-based upgrading since it should be superstable so that the delivered binaries will 100% fit together - you dont want to install one package with apt that in the next moment crashes your display manager and you cannot use your phone anymore. Its not a PC! You cannot just switch to text mode, connect a wired keyboard and fix it yourself. Mobile devices have a much higher level of demand for resilience than your desktop PC. Also, image-based upgraded can use deltas to help downloading only whats changed in an efficient way - No need to run apt and compare all the lists of stuff. Security: Unlike a normal Linux distro a mobile OS invites a lot of 3rd party apps to the system. In fact its the whole point of it: Your Debian and Ubuntu deliver 90% of what you need from their repos, but in UT its maybe 10%. So with so many 3rd party code enabled you definitely do not want to have a writable root partition and also the Android container is protected that way. People please stop thinking that UT is "Ubuntu on a phone", its not and it also makes no sense to demand it. If this would be so desireable, Canonical would have done it, and not scratch their head to implement this much different logic.

@HendriXXX I have just watched your Development Environment Installation video. Awesome! That must have taken a huge effort to co-ordinate all the various video components. You are clearly also an experienced software developer. Many thanks for your contribution to the life of Ubuntu Touch.

@Flohack Regarding the user-data folder, it took at least 30-35 minutes to backup 12Go (including compression) over usb2.0, and nearly the same (a little faster) to restore (arround 20 minutes). The system-data folder was smaller then it take less than 5 minutes to backup (and 3 more to restore). I was thinking about doing it on the SD at the beginning but as my data partition was about 54Go, I was scared that my 32Go SD card wasn't sufficient (as I already had a lot of things on my SD like all the pictures taken by the camera, they are very big on te Pro5 because of the sensor quality). And one other thing was that my sdcard wasn't mounted on recovery, I think that the recovery-turbo.img miss a lot of features. For the phone where the system-data and user-data are correctly mounted on the /data folder in recovery, this script can work well if you remove the line "adb shell mount /dev/block/sda44 /data" But if you want to do that locally on the SD card, if it is mounted, you can do that on the recovery nearly the same way, don't forget to use tar as it will take care of the symlinks (not to ignore them, it will save them too). It will be very perfect if that can be integrated to the installer !
