For reverting back to an android rom, can i just flash it through twrp or do i have to flash stock boot images or something ? I wont be able to stick with ubports unfortunately since most of my apps dont work properly

ComLarsic

@pratham if its available as zip image (or any type of TWRP compatible image) you can just use twrp to install it

@ComLarsic Thanks, i was asking that cuz yesterday i had flashed that halium image to the boot partition through fastboot for anbox

Hi guys, I want to report some bugs for Oneplus 3:

Installer actually is not able to install UTm out of the box, but TWRP /data, /System folders wipeing helps (also on reboot volume down + power should be holded)
"Notes" application doesn't work (it opens and only shows white screen)
"Libertine" settings doesn't work either (it shows button "get started"), and after form with container attributes filled and submitted, nothing happens, button "get started" still shown, no container created
Some applications, like (uWrite, uText), from App store are able to be installed, but the failed on attempt to run them.
Camera app, cant make shots with flash.
P.S. there more, if someone here is interesting, I can report more, and possibly provide some logs, if u shall help on where to collect them.

Any recommendation for an android version on the phone before flashing UT?
I flashed over the newest op3t oxygen os 9.0.6. It is a pie with new vendor firmware. It is working good. But as far as I can see the UT is nougat based. Maybe it is better to flash the nougat vendor firmware first. Or doesn't it matter for UT?

Posting here first just in case it's OP3(t) specific, will move to support if not.
In short having bad day managed to delete the main Music folder from the Home directory. Rushing a job when connected to laptop and forgetting which folder I was in. Stupid I know.
How to get it back without using wipe option on the installer please. Reflashing without wipe does not get it back. Trying to create a new one via laptop (Ubuntu 20.04) does not work ,nor copy and past.ing.
As I said having a bad day, so I've stopped trying till I can remember things again. Any help will be much appreciated.

@Mykhailo wow, how active this community is, no answers for 12 days... Sad to understand this so...

@Mykhailo why would someone even bother to create port for some device/devices, if no one give a s*it on user's experience and initiatives?

We have one guy working on Oneplus 2, 3 and 5 at the same time, while he is in University and on top there is a Corona situation in all European countries that might stress us out. So, please keep this in mind when talking about "The Community". The community can report bugs for devices, but unless there are more porters for a device its down to a single person mostly to analyze and fix with what you come up. You can ping @vince1171 and ask kindly for support.

@Flohack
Considering the situation i think the development moves quite fast.
So nothing but appreciation from me:).

@Mykhailo A little more respect for the work @vince1171 has done would be appreciated.

Even though we might not post here nowadays, but I'm quite sure many of us are following the progress. I'm very happy to see some improvements with the latest versions on OnePlus 3 and really appreciate the work being invested.

@Flohack Replied before I could. So i will run through your questions as much as I can.
1, Yes that is well known, both are addressed in this thread.The installer has a message pointing out there may be issues. The need for TWRP is also in this thread.
2, Also mentioned in the thread above as far as I can remember. Though it should now work (it does for me) though you still can't sync it with Evernote yet without an external keyboard.
3, Must admit I've not tried Libertine yet but guess that is also known and been worked on. Don't think it works on any arm64 devices yet.
4, Those apps will have a link to report issues to the developer in the app details in the OpenStore
5, Unfortunatley the camera issues are well known and include the zoom not working it's the same on the OPO as well. Camera issues are long standing and not easy/possible to fix. Bug reports have been done etc. Sorry but I don't have the link to hand.

So in short the issues are known about, being worked on or can be reported to the app developers. Also as @Flohack said this device though usable as a daily driver and very close, is not a completed port yet.

@bsdfreak Hi, thanks for advice, believe or not, I do have a great appreciation for UT developers, because I'm developer too. But, I think, since, this forum exists, people, who created it, shold also value customer's time. If there is no time for support, just close the forum, it would be fair enough, rather than pretend that there is a place, where tou can ask the question, and receive any answer, and in reality, wait for 2 weeks. Really, it's just the matter of principle, do something good or not do at all, I believe that, tell me if I wrong.

@Flohack said in Oneplus 3/3T:

but unless there are more

this is not an excuse, in my opinion, you are able to expand developers community easily, but for some reason you don't. I'll give an example, I filled in the form here "https://ubports.com/join-us", where pointed out that I am able to help with UT as a developer, 2 weeks ago, and haven't receive any answer yet, so I think the problem is not with lack of developers who wants to join and help with ports or bug fixes, but rather in management...

Mykhailo

@Lakotaubp thanks a lot for the answer, appreciate it

@Mykhailo Please remember that except for I think about 3 people everyone else here is a volunteer so "working" in their free time. We do not have full-time staff who can answer enquiries straight away. It all takes time with people having to work to make a living or whatever and do what they can to help the progress of Ubuntu Touch and UBports. I'm sure your offer has been received and is being looked into.
Please do not take this the wrong way, but many questions are answered in a matter of hours where possible and most of the answers to your questions where already available in that thread with a bit of checking. Also not many are using the OP3 yet so not many available to respond.
Still I hope you continue to enjoy Ubuntu Touch on your OP3 and the progress it is making.

@Mykhailo you can volunteer in getting this stuff done, 2 weeks no reply is nothing Some people sit there and wait for months....
The problem is really, how do we manage this? We need people who can figure out stuff on their own, its hard to introduce new developers into the special needs of UT. We cannot do lessons for API programming, Anbox, porting etc. That would be nice, but then most of our stuff would be into teaching only, adn we currently have a lot of higher priorities.
It turned out that the "Join Us" process is of no use, basically you join us if you start making pull request. Unfortunately people now think that they are getting kinda starter package from us, which we cannot provide in whatever form this should be. So, rather start coding and doing stuff. 500 open tickets are waiting on Github

Later on, when foundation has stabilized, "Jojn Us" will mean something like "I have contributed for some time to the project, now I want to be member of one of the steering comittees, in order to gain advantages and voting rights for the functions in the foundation".

But "Join Us" has already happened in the moment you got interested No further action needed. I ask you, what would you expect to happen next?

@Mykhailo We are not pretending that this is a place were people find answers, its just that the people in need for answers vs. people able to answer those questions is roughly 100:1 and I am not joking.

I struggle reading all telegram messages (a few hunderd to 1000 a day), I cant catch up with the forum, and finally I cannot follow all bug reports on Github and Gitlab. We have 450 repositories there, and never less than 500-700 tickets open. And all that with a team of a handful of employees, not all of the fulltime, and then the community.

As you are right, a community is not self-organizing it needs some management. Unfortunately we attract a lot of people that are totally motivated to do stuff, but are hard to manage - They have varying times when they can do stuff, their level of education varies, they suddenly have issues with their job, or can only work in school/uni breaks etc.

You cannot expect that syncint those people is an easy job. What we would need however are people loving structure to kick some things into shape. Management of what we have, not extending it immediately. Its not even possible e.g. that someone creates test plans for the phone functions, because its a really boring job. Seems unless you pay for that you wont get it.

Long story short: We are heavily undermanned, and need a lot more people that work constantly on their area. Not so much onboard/offboarding as it happens now. Some people have agreed to do stuff e.g. and then disappeared as they found out its "real work".
