Update 25 April 2026: We've published Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.3 RC 2 which includes necessary updates for the upcoming Volla Phone Plinius.

opus 4.6 had a go at this and it flailed around quite a bit and in the end it came up with this bash script that doesn't even require root: fix-lomiri-spinner-install.txt I told it to be verbose in the script so you can read what it does and whether it's safe at your own discretion - keep in mind that any part of it may be hallucinated and made up. tl;dr: According to it, it really is the splash screen spinner, and this workaround will stop the spinning on splash screens after 15 seconds. Basically it makes a fake new version of the lomiri qml theme that symlinks all files from the current theme, but replaces the qml file for splash screens with a new qml file that disables the spinning circle on splash screens after 15 seconds. Then creates a systemd user service that sets QML2_IMPORT_PATH to that new theme. Seems to work here, but as always, run AI generated scripts at your own risk, or anyone else, feel free to create a better workaround or upstream fix based on this info. I assume there should be two fixes coming from this: 1) don't waste cpu cycles on window animations for windows that are fully covered by other windows, 2) make the spinner animation render in a way that doesn't cause upwards of half a cpu core total cpu usage.

@Moem I second this, I've been wondering why this was on recent in the inTouch app for who knows how long.

@gpatel-fr for FP5 check my post on how to charge limit, its broken fundamentally but I've used it on mine for almost a year and its fine, but do at you're own risk.

@tr4in33 said: Guys, how likely is it to port Ubuntu Touch to the Jelly Max? Does it have an unlockable bootloader? Is the kernel source available? Do you own the device and are you willing to risk bricking it in the process? Do you have time and skills, or are you willing to learn? If you can answer Yes to all of these, then it's potentially viable.

@mf22 said: Most things seem to work, GPS does not. Are you accounting for the fact that we don't have A-GPS?

@Jules yes, since 24.04, rc 1,2 and 3 on a volla quintus with UT as single os. Additionally phone sometimes switches to "L" after leaving home, but has no mobile data. Then, as a workaround I switch to flightmode and back, then it searches again and is connecting correctly.

@k.nacke thanks for all your work on this. any updates on the missing character issue? i just installed using the latest devel-flashable-large artifacts from Friday, January 30, 2026 - https://gitlab.com/redstar-team/ubports/lenovo-tab-m8/lenovo-tab-m8/-/jobs/12937600982/artifacts/browse and ran into the following issues: i initially chose English (UK) in setup per CaptainTalonAlt's post quoted below, but was unable to enter the wi-fi password due to j and 9 registering as spaces in the password prompt. @CaptainTalonAlt said: The keyboard characters seems to fix for English (UK), it’s the US keyboard that seems the problem. after skipping wi-fi setup and testing the English (UK) keyboard in the notes application: f shows on the keyboard but enters as a space. all other letters and numbers work. entering j does work in notes but still does not work on the wi-fi password prompt in settings. a number of the symbols on the 2nd page of symbols are blank but all input in notes when pressed. i switched language to english (us) and rebooted: j and 9 now work when entering wi-fi password at the prompt q, y, f, g, h, k and ? are blank on the keyboard but input in notes. all upper case letters show on the keyboard correctly and all symbols on the 2nd page as well. The language listed in grey over the space bar shows En lish thanks again

@aimar Yeah, I'd read something about that. It resets at a certain time of day, China time (one big time zone).. not sure if it's midnight or what. Worth looking into what time the daily quota resets.

@aimar I sync notes between my phone and my computer this way. Syncthing from the open store to syncthing on a Xubuntu computer. Works well, but I have to manually run Syncthing from time to time to do the sync, as I don't want to try running it continously on the phone.

@developerbayman @moem thx for your answers I will follow your thread and check for progress. The Lenovo is still in use, but if neccessary i can do experiments. Thank you for your effort, i can only install if anybody did the hard part. Bogi

@pparent THANKS. I still linked this post to NotKit from the Volla team. This is still a big problem for the Volla 22 which will have to be fixed. In addition, network loss is almost systematic each time the volla 22 is restarted.

@rocket2nfinity Thank for replying. I thought I redo the picture in fastboot mode. [image: 1776826245198-fastbootmode2.jpg] Sheng-Chieh p.s. I'll look at global ROM, etc.

Merci pour ce retour, c'est super!!! Je vais étudier tout cela dans un premier temps.

@MrT10001 @MrT10001 said: You can reinstall through the installer leaving the "wipe data" unticked which will retain all your data and take about 10 minutes or in updates change the channel to development and then back again. Good to know (never tried it) but that still would clear all Libertine containers right (IIRC packages get installed outside user data?)

@kugiigi Thanks, I'll give it a try. I found a rather crude way to restart the keyboard, using the Fcitx5 app I installed in an attempt to find an alternative keyboard. Fcitx5 isn't really reliable yet, but with it I was able to restore the default keyboard (restore button in the settings of the app), and that works fine. As to your guess: No, no external keyboard is detected, an no keyboard icon appears in the top bar. Only difference I notice is that the time display disappears in the top bar or shows a wrong time in UT, while in waydroid it is correct, but that's a different story...

Here is what looks like a new prototype: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MrFvLvAq4bc More info here: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/hybris-support/lxc-android-config/-/merge_requests/184#note_3271557185

I tried to upgrade the QML libraries & openLayers to latest version, but uNav continues to freeze... This happens from focal.
