        Re: Why is this device not in the devices list for Focal?

        https://gitlab.com/ubports/infrastructure/devices.ubuntu-touch.io/-/merge_requests/623

        So, it turns out that the Redmi Note 7 has had a Focal channel for quite a while but it isn't on devices.ubuntu-touch.io
        I've made a merge request to make an initial feature list which I think is all you need to add a focal channel to it? But I know nothing of how this works so if there are other things I need to do, feel free to tell me. Or I might realise trying to read scattered docs.

        In addition, many features still need testing, namely:
        * Dual sim
        * Sim pin unlock

        • 24 hours battery life
          * 7 days stability
        • Video Acceleration
          * Apparmor Patches (I'm not even sure what they are)
        • Wireless External Monitor
        • NFC
          * GPS
          * Wired External Monitor

        Any help, including advice on how to test a feature, and an explanation of exactly what stupid things I'm certainly doing somewhere, is much appreciated!

              @Caedem These are things I don't tend to use on a device apart from battery life which I generally got around 3 days out of one charge (same with anew battery v older battery). Apparmor as far as I am aware is part of the system and should be patched as per OTA (please correct me if I am wrong).

              Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.... And more...
              I have too many devices...

                I found "Check if keyboard vibration works. This is a good indication that AppArmor has been successfully applied."

                Since keyboard vibration works I'm going to assume AppArmor is in place

                        Video acceleration: played a video for 15 mins and it warmed up, but not what I'd call hot. I'd like opinions on whether I should mark that as working or not, or better yet a more reliable way to check

                          Ok so: wireless external monitor and NFC I can't test. Aside from those two, the only thing I haven't tested is 24 hours battery life but I need to test that again with less intensive usage so that'll take a while. I tested hardware acceleration and got moderately warm, like 40-45ish degrees judging by feel after 15 mins so nothing conclusive there, and I don't have a direct method to clearly indicate if there is hardware acceleration or not: so I'm leaving that as untested.

                          TL;DR: Still need to test 24 hours battery life, can't test the rest. I've marked the MR as ready.
