        @zzarr said in Gemini PDA:

        Hello everyone again!

        Is it possible to patch the kernel to be able to run libertine on Gemini yet?

        I doubt there is a kernel patch needed for libertine. If it runs UT it runs libertine I would say.

          @doniks Hello!

          Nice!

          I which to use UT as main OS on my device, but a few things hold me back right now.

          Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of my statements. (I have yet to watch the latest Q&A.)

          1. 16.04 is not ready yet.
          2. anbox is not ready yet.
          3. it's not installable through the official installer. (will it be?)

          But I keep my hopes up that those issues will be resolved in the near future.

          How ever, as a former UT user I'm very exited! (Used a Meizu MX4.)

          Best Regards

            @zzarr hi

            1. The xenial base is ready but some apps are not yet
            2. Anbox works in some devices but not in others. After OTA-4 is released, Marius says he's going to add a lot of improvements, even in qualcomm devices
            3. You can install 16.04 RC or devel using the ubports-installer now. In fact, you can do that since a long time ago

              @advocatux Hello!

              Thanks for a quick response!

              Are you sure that the Gemini PDA is installable through the ubports-installer?
              It is not listed on the webpage.

              Do anbox work with bluetooth apps? (I have a smartwatch which I wish to have running.)

              I know @TheKit got UT running on the Gemini PDA. The big question there is, is it ready for daily use?

              I really hope that the Gemini PDA will be officially supported.

              Best Regards

                @zzarr ah, I didn't mean on Gemini PDA. Because you said "I which to use UT as main OS on my device" I thought you were talking about another device, sorry!

                Anbox is under development, and in a very early stage, and there's a bug about bluetooth and watches (https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/766) so more than likely it doesn't work out of the box.

                  @advocatux Hello again!

                  I see, maybe it'll be useful in the near future.

                  I have a Idea when it comes to libertine (the UI), could a virtual trackpad be added? (Maybe it exists and I have not used libertine for a long time?)

                  Best Regards

                    @zzarr generally speaking, I think anything is possible if someone with the necessary knowledge and skills wants to improve something in UT šŸ™‚ but I don't know the technical requirements of that to give you an specific answer

                        I am also interested. Got my Cosmo (almost Gemini but with modem) and plain linux kind of awkward to use on it. Some Touch apps would be nice to have thus.

                          I asked about interest for incoming Astro Slide, wich is a very interesting device from my point of view, but got nothing very incouraging about it here...
