@mr_growl I've been searching, but finding a successful port is bit hard to find. I did come across these things if they may be helpful! If I find anything else, I will let you know.

@wilson101 OK sure do as you prefer! The last thing I can say is that normally you must have the compiled module in your application in qml-plugins/Pparent/Notifications/libNotificationsPlugin.so and qml-plugins/Pparent/Notifications/qmldir Then you can include the qml module dir in c++ with QQmlApplicationEngine engine; engine.addImportPath("qml-plugins"); That's all I can say! I wish you good luck!

@Vlad-Nirky thanks for the info, then it may be my mobile provider which causes the issue.

Looks like a headphone issue has been reported as well. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11291/earphone-problem-on-pixel-3a

@mihael said in Whatsweb app upgrade.: I preferred to have a website opened as a tab in Morph instead of having it separately in a webapp-container - it seemed to me to use less battery. Probably because Morph suspends some of its tabs. I guess it's also because currently in a webapp, the webview is not minimized/hidden, if the app is unsuspended in background, as I did in Whatsweb (which is pretty simple to do), so the view keeps being rendered. ( Versus considered minimized and do not compute rendering). I guess that tabs in background in morph, if they are really still running, might be actually considered as minimized, and do not compute rendering. Although I did not know Morph would keep several tabs running in parallel and I guess it could be a problem if we forget tabs running in background.

@pparent said in Taking the plunge: It's aslo the banks that edit passports? I'm not sure. I live here but this is not my country. Banks handle secure identification for just about anybody else here though - government website, justice, healthcare, DMV, post office, insurance companies, utilities...everything. It never fails to blow my mind that the locals are okay with private financial institutions basically spying on your every important moves online - the ones where you have to use your real identity: if you have business with anything or anyone in an official capacity, they know whom you deal with and when. But at least one of my colleagues got a painful reminder: he tried to get a loan to buy a new house and his application was declined for no reason that seemed to make sense, since he never missed a payment or got so much as a parking ticket. After some digging around with a friend who worked at the bank, it turned out the bank figured he had a drinking problem based on appointments he made online with his identity at the local equivalent of the AA and classified him as a potentially delinquent wino. And another thing that blows my mind is: it doesn't seem to bother any of the local politicians that the entire life of the country - since most everything is done online here - is entirely dependent on two foreign mobile OS vendors operating in a fascist country, with a history of abusive monopolistic practices and privacy invasion. Because I guarantee you, if the local banks know what you're doing here, Google and Apple do too. If this was my country, I'd be distressed that those two companies are the virtual gatekeepers of the entire communication infrastructure of the country. It's totally nuts if you think about it.

@XPran You need to turn off the phone, and then boot with long push on "power" and "volume up" buttons at the same time, until you see a "Recovery Menu", then select the first option "Boot recovery", then connect it in USB to your computer and the installer should work fine. Select Ubuntu Touch 24.04, and sit back & relax while the installer is doing its job.

Hi! Thanks for the this work, it's really cool to be able to receive and view Signal messages without needing to open the whole Waydroid stuff I'll take a look to the way you did it, as I've seen there's an unofficial Dino application snap package available (this is an XMPP client). I'll check if I can port this application using same techniques.

@smobilesoft Well... I have the same phone. I am not a porter and I apologize to them (or invite them to correct me) for the shortcuts used. I have unlocked it, install the needed ROM to be compatible with UT port. The UT port interacts with an abstraction layer called Halium. There is a version of Halium for each version of Android 9, 10, 11, 12, etc. Halium interacts with the low-level Android drivers that are left in place when UT is installed and Android is replaced. The port therefore expects to have very specific drivers (those of the recommended version of Android). Each ROM contains a number of partitions that are either left in place, replaced, or modified. Altering these partitions (or using a non-compliant ROM that has other partitions) can therefore result in a system that cannot receive UT or anything else at all. You can experiment, and it may be beneficial to you and to others who are in the same situation or not. When the device is unlocked and the ROM joyeuse_global_images_V12.0.3.0.QJZMIXM is in place, installer can resize the needed partitions via [image: 1760128909183-bead290c-af62-4237-82e9-9d1ff28cf229-ut-install-checkbox.png] /home/jll/UBT/4Install/UT install checkbox.png

@pparent Waydroid and libertine aren't app distribution channels and snaps are just terrible (and centralized with a proprietary backend). Maybe if there was proper Flatpak support in UT, but that still wouldn't give us click-packages.

I've succeeded in making a .click package, here is the topic for the app development: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11532/signal-ut-signal-desktop-for-ubuntu-touch

@pparent Your app is very good and the improvement was made by volla 22 itself: I am now on dev 486 and scrolling on volla has improved considerably.

@peat_psuwit Tried to install the 24.04-1.x channel release on my Sony Xperia X using the UBports installer. Installing was completed, but after reboot the device hangs at the white "Sony" screen for multiple minutes and won't boot any further. Staying connected to the PC I can see the network connection established via USB, but I can't connect to 10.15.19.82 using ssh.

@Vlad-Nirky No it isnt a VOLTE issue and yes both sims are VOLTE capable and both work well together. I haven't tested VOLTE under UT on either sims though. But VOLTE is problematic even on stock Android for lancelot in my country.

I struggled with this on UT. Eventually I installed dufs webdav server and I've been using that with morph. I can download files from the PC easily and I can push files to the PC easily as well using a web browser. I can even stream videos from the PC this way!

@Mario.CH said in Potentially turning a negative of Google's tightening restrictions into a positave: Is that how it is in your country? Not even a post office bank? Yes, it's true that some of our banks do not have physical locations at all anymore.

@aarontheissueguy You should definitely see this post, I really think signal-desktop is the way to go: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11532/signal-ut-signal-desktop-for-ubuntu-touch

@gpatel-fr Vndk deprecation happens in Android 15, not 14 - unless Halium 14 means Android 15 ? I think the only thing UT has to do with VNDK is mount the correct partitions to be read by the android container, which handles the rest. Ask in the porting group for more detail, there are already some short discussions around it. to check the vndk version, it's necessary to enable debug mode on the phone, connect a computer through usb and use adb You can install an app called Treble Info from F-Droid.
