@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.

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!

@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

@mihael Great thank you very much!

@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.

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

@ola Now you can enjoy

@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.

@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.

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

@Eric-H Thank you for the MIUI 12.5.9 global link after installing this everything worked, what I was missing was that

@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.

@poVoq That is correct, there shouldn't be any incompatible changes across updates that affect UT.

@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.

@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.
