    Sure, Tweak Tool, of course -- sorry. I just checked on my phone and it shows there, yes. Just look under the name 'Ratatoskr' (that's the actual name I gave the app -- "Bluetooth file transfer" is only a description). It's the first UT app I built, so I'm not familiar yet with all the intricacies of the dev. workflow. In any case, it seems there was a mixup, as the packages that were pushed on the server are v0.1.0, not v0.1.1. The "file sending" functionality may not be functional in that version (the receiving one should be). I'll try to get this fixed tomorrow.

    @Shriharsh-Kulthe It is an old phone (with the micro USB port) and the fact it updated to Noble may indicate further work may be done. It is not a common device though and I did use it for my main UT device for a while.

    Update: I set-up a postal forwarding service so I have an address in the EU. Responded to the email that was sent out after my chat where I was informed that it would not be possible to assist me in any capacity without an address in the EU. Mind you I am paying for this and not trying to scam a warranty policy. The do not respond, I wait a few days and send a follow up email in the same email thread, no response again, I follow up again in a few more days.... Today I receive a response, do you think they opened a repair ticket or did anything at all to assist with facilitating this process? Nope, they responded with the following. "We apologize for our delay in responding to your message. With this message we want to assure you that your request has been received, and we are doing our best to get back to you as soon as possible.

    @mihael Not on all devices, I expect. Some need a more complicated song and dance to unlock.

    OK -- replying to my own post To resolve the issue, I decided to revive the old 'ubtd' app. Its new incarnation has passed the code review and v0.1.1 is now available on the OpenStore. You will find it under the name "Bluetooth file transfer", in the "Utilities" category. If you install it, may I suggest that you check the README here: https://github.com/petroniusniger/ratatoskr/tree/main for a brief description of how to use it most effectively? Also, should you discover any bug, please report them here: https://github.com/petroniusniger/ratatoskr/issues

    @harmhero No, the M8 FHD is a different device. It has a different CPU, a different LCD, and more RAM. I actually own a M8 FHD device, and I like to support that device, too. However, I am currently busy with writing another book, so most likely this will not happen before late summer. Kai

    Question: Are there any thoughts/discussions going on (or that have gone on in the past) about widening the number of apparmor permissions to allow for more fine-grained control of things? Some examples: Permission to disable app suspend so the user doesn't have to do it themselves. Permission to start background services. Could maybe be implemented similar to read/write paths with the ability to execute specific commands.

    @projectmoon There's a setting for that inside Ambot however it only works in unconfined apps. Not though that there apps that use the affected components in unusual ways so the hint may show in weird places e.g. Music app, the hint shows above the currently playing bar In regards to the global back action, we can implement it in the toolkit, you just have the back button trigger with the back button but we can't really enfore it everywhere else so it will be kind of pointless if it only works in certain apps

    @oldbutndy As far as I know, if your bootloader isn't unlocked the the installer will inform you about that. As for unlocking the bootloader, steps for doing so may vary widely between devices and that guide is usually present in their xda threads, if not then maybe I'll try to look into that too, tho again these efforts are tedious and it will take time. Right now I'm almost done with updating the device listings and by today or tomorrow I'll ask for a mr for my changes. Once this is done we will figure out things further

    Nice idea, that’s actually pretty clever! I’ve never thought about using the phone as a remote audio sink like that. Did you notice much delay in real use, especially for videos?
