@thomasf Check this topic.

Thanks @tusch001 this was very helpful and worked on the stable Focal channel with Snapz0r installed. I would recommend one change: the sed command should read- sudo snap run libinput.list-devices | sed -n '/himax-stylus/,+20p' instead of: sudo snap run libinput.list-devices | sed -n '/himax-stylus,+20p' A few practical questions for you or anyone else: What kind of daily battery life are you seeing for the stylus, over how many hours of use? Do we know if it's compatible with other UT devices? In Libertine, is there a convenient way to anchor the stylus' nib to things like scroll bars? I've been trying to scroll up/down on VS Code but it's quite cumbersome and feels like I have to press it multiple times then do a small flick to get it to scroll by a little bit every time. Kind of much like using my finger (it's just that the nib is so much more small and thus more of a precision instrument compared to anyone's finger!). Unfortunately I need to figure out how to get my Volla Keyboard accessory working again and thus I don't have access to its touchpad and a mouse cursor (I've been using a bluetooth keyboard instead), so this would be a great workaround for the time being if it's possible. On an OS level: Hopefully someone can formally implement this into an OTA upgrade for the tablet on Noble and potentially even a maintenance release on Focal? The code changes look straightforward if they're just about changing the udev rules and such. I have been working on contributing to app development on and off but as a) the tablet is a bit of a daily driver for me and I like to keep it on the stable channel and b) contributing to OS patches is something I'm not really familiar or comfortable with, it would be excellent to see this happen if someone else can help out.

@sm-xcx Hey xcx, how far are we with this project? what is still requirered to finish this project?

Hello all, It has been decided to postpone the new contact backend to 26.04.x to avoid slowing down the overall roadmap. We will try to move also at that time to the new calendar backend.. 2 major internal changes in a row. I keep you informed.

@Linus67 Thanks very much. Will try it out…

I wouldn't use a META product if there were alternatives. But there are a lot of people who are very resistant to change. There are groups for their kids' school activities: soccer, tennis, music, and so on. If you use Ubuntu Touch every day, a lightweight QML app like Greenline is perfect. You can check WhatsApp messages when needed. In an emergency, you can send a message like, “I'll be 10 minutes late.” Personally, I prefer a WhatsApp alternative that is fast and stable, uses few resources, and adapts well to changes in WhatsApp’s data structure—such as the Go library, whatsmeow, protobuf structures, and WebSocket conditions on the servers. I don’t need features like video or forms. If someone wants all of WhatsApp’s features (including META AI) on Ubuntu Touch, then they have the wrong device. Keep Greenline lean, efficient, and adaptable to changes at Meta for a long life on Ubuntu Touch. Many people and groups still need some time before they’re ready to switch to alternatives.

@gpatel-fr That´s perfect! Thank you very much for solving this stubborn problem. Now I can put the Pixel 3a into ‘Nokia 3210 mode’ with a single click. Calls and text messages work, and the battery lasts at least three days in this mode. #!/bin/bash # ==================================================================== # NOKIA 3210 MODUS: CPU throttling + All offline services (Pixel 3a) # ==================================================================== if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]; then echo "ERROR: Please run the script using: sudo $0" exit 1 fi echo "Enable Nokia 3210 mode..." # 1.

@Turbolqk said: @kugiigi I see, I haven't used UT in a few months, so I might've missed a few things. These things you think you might have missed have been implemented for years, so even the few months ago that you used UT last, you should have come across them.

host you could use google drive or whatever is allowed in your country

@developerbayman Thanks! It is now available on the openstore, so I hope people will enjoy it!

@egregiousecan There's some bug that causes random bootloop, forcing shutdown by holding all phone buttons simultaneously helps. I was also not able to boot into Ut 24.04 after upgrading from 20.04, I had to reflash the device with Android to do that.

@mihael yes it's a bug and probably in the push service. I tried to kill the service process (I don't know any other way to restart a service activated by d-bus) and after an initial failure (it seems that when the service is restarted it don't take in account the task that started it), the second time I sent a mail message the notification used the new sound. To be continued.

Hi, I am back again. I didn't want to bother you with my long posts until I made it. Still working on it, though. @wally, as I said, my phone sent the SMS but get no response. I hadn't yet updated anything. I was chatting with the Xiaomi customer service and told me two things: Clear data/caché from "Settings" --> "Apps" --> "Manage apps" --> "Xiaomi SIM Activaton Service". Change "Settings" --> "Additional settings" --> "Languages and input" to other language, in my case to "English (UK)". You can try it. I don't know if both are necessary, but were simple to accomplish and so did I. Tried again, SMS sent and paid, and MIXiaomi account was linked to my phone number. Next step, was linking the account to "Settings" --> "Additional settings" --> "Developer options" --> "MIUnlockStatus". For this to work I had to turned off the "Find Device" option: "Settings" --> "MIAccount" --> "Xiaomi Cloud" --> "Find Device" --> Off. And it did the trick. This is all like a puzzle, a jigsaw, an escape room ... Still no luck, though. The device is still "deactivated". Again Xiaomi customer service said that this matters are part of the "Xiaomi Community" and that I should asked there. I found an interesting post, that maybe everybody is aware of, but me. I asked it here before, but it seems that, yes, the unlock request must be made within this app. I made a Google account just to download the "Xiaomi Community" app. In the left lower icon, "ME, go to "Set up" and "Change region" to "Global". Go back to "ME" and "Unlock bootloader" will now be visible. Click on it and mine says "Account must be registered over 30 days". I have mi fresh Xiaomi account, my fresh Google account and one week still to go ...

At a suggestion from @sander I implemented the Content Hub to select the local fallback audio file. The API of https://www.radio-browser.info is great, and also already implemented by the Radio app as far as I can tell from a quick glance. So I would rather ask Patrick Fial (does he have an account on this forum?) to add something like a 'copy URL'-button to the station in the favorites-list of his app. Or create a merge request for this myself, of course. @vlad-nirky Classic2 yes! Not waking up too gently though ;-).
