@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.

@OtaDr Thanks for the specific post and the confirmation! I'm hoping a resolution can be found soon!

I've made a new pull request: https://github.com/alefnode/ubports-apps/pull/56

@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

Ok, this was what I didnt understand, that I have to install Molly in the waydroid container. Done! Thanks a lot for helping me! Now I can (nearly*) leave the android universe and move to Ubuntu touch. *"nearly" because of the waydroid container

@mr_growl I did find this in the forum as a Port QA Checklist. Still looking into the vendor blobs. https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/general/-/blob/master/DeviceChecklist.md

@foxx This is getting very off topic, politics are not that related to the issue. I never said that you cannot use your camera, it just has to be interfaced through Halium. You can quickly make an app with Qt that captures frames from the camera, and maybe use the Qt Networking framework to broadcast.

@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

@Vlad-Nirky Ok, good ideas, thank you for your help.

@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.

@ola Now you can enjoy

@Charly Snap doesn't make sense for these small standalone utilites. Also fdisk doesn't exist as snap and rsync packages are only some outdated third party programs, which I would never install.

@fihex123 Please follow the steps for the installation as descripted by arubislander. You could also take a look at this step by step description: https://forums.ubports.com/post/43884 If you have no success, try a different USB cable and a different USB port. If you are using the Windows Installer, you could also check if it works better under Linux. Sometimes the installation does not work the first time.

@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

@Moem Great idea!

@messayisto Thanks, Mate. So it needed two attempts to get it working again. I first tried the 0.5.1 Focal for UT 24.04 which also did not work. I ended up with the one for UT 20.04 which now runs smoothly.
