Of course, restoring will write data....what a stupid question from me I'll check this functionality once it's merged in the app. Thanks.

@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.

@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).

@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.

@Nathan123 You will only need to if you changed any of them. Check out adb/fastboot first

@poVoq Yes this is the easiest way to do it. If you search for the first release of my app this is what I used. But I had a limitation regarding self signed certificates. So I decided to create a C++ library to send HTTPS requests. Thanks for sharing your findings ; could be helpful for other

@AppLee ok I understand your doubts, when I have a bit of time I'll try to learn UBports code and develop a prove of concept (for the moment I only develop in Python). And I'll make some tests to know if consumption in flight mode is considerably lower than in normal mode. thank you for your interest

Moving to support as not directly about development of an app

Have you tried just running Ubuntu 19.10 with Gnome on it? That's what I've got running on the 2 in 1 Asus Transformer and it works quite well, apart from the camera/hdmi not working (which may be hardware issues since I didn't test them before I wiped out Widows on it). If it works, it should be pretty easy to switch to Unity8 once it's stable.

@ziggutas Yes, backporting things in kernel and such.

@poVoq No it's not

AOSP isn't a complete operating system, UT is.

Go back a few steps Make sure adb / fastboot ( tools) are installed and working . Are you trying to go from android to ubports Or , Ubuntu- Touch to ubports. This kind of info will help others to help you

@Lakotaubp Ah, i thought only google contacts import was available. Thanks for the help!

@normandc Giiba is right your bank website is probably rederecting to another url pattern. In order to check that you can have a look at the log file the error will be displayed. Then you'll have to add another pattern with the webapp creator.

@Lakotaubphuh, thank.you

@Flohack Yes the overall system seems quite easy, but the devil lies in the details. Starting from scratch would be reinventing the wheel when there are those nice existing NodeRed nodes. But they reference further NodeJS libraries and while all of that is probably not a big deal for an somewhat experienced Javascript developer, I am somewhat lost looking at it

With Webapp Creator you can fill the info, tap on Somple Webapp and choose «Custom» for the type to choose several options on the behaviour and permissions:

Maybe I should try flashing an "Full OTA" package to my Nexus, instead of a factory image? Like I said, I tried from lowest and highest number of Android version, which is 4.3 (lowest) and 6.0.1 for latest ROM - both produced a "boot-loop" on my device, after flash-script finished. I think I had to switch to "Recovery mode", instead of "Start" for installing an OTA? Can somebody help me out a bit, please?

@poVoq The settings part is already there. So you'd prefer to circle between the configured layouts instead of toggling the two most recent layouts. I agree with you on this preference. But it is just that : "preference" this is not a missing feature or an evolution, just something I would prefer. So if you ask me, this can wait or has to be debated.
