    ubports-installer_0.11.2_linux_x86_64.AppImage - FP5 - options: Wipe userdata, Partitioning, Bootstrap - 26.04-1.x/arm64/android9plus/daily New users can now install 26.04 on the FP5 via the UBports installer without special steps; the partition has been enlarged and setup completes smoothly. phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ system-image-cli -i current build number: 85 device name: FP5 channel: 26.04-1.x/arm64/android9plus/daily last update: 2026-04-29 21:16:10 version: 85 version tag: 2026-06-11 version rootfs: 2026-06-11T05:53:52Z_arm64_ubports/26.04-1.x_72_b17341d80377936ec2b515693cde376c1045afce version keyring: archive-master version device: 20260610-19936 version boot: 20260611-002753Z Hardware Wi‑Fi It is not possible to select a Wi‑Fi network during the initial setup; you cannot enter the Wi‑Fi password, and this cannot be done via the UI afterwards either. After restarting the device it is possible to connect to Wi‑Fi. Camera Camera app works but only with one camera; it does not switch between wide and ultra-wide lenses. GPS works. Cold start fix took ~1 minute. Cellular works. GSM: 5G, VoLTE (T-Mobile NL). Bluetooth Device finds and connects to Bluetooth headsets. Plays music through the headset. Switching between music and phone calls consistently fails: the Bluetooth headset disconnects and then produces no sound. This has happened multiple times with different headsets, especially when first listening to music and then trying to make a call. It appears the switch between Bluetooth profiles does not work correctly; when switching from HFP/HSP the Bluetooth connection drops entirely. Fingerprint scanner. Works quickly and reliably. Display. Auto-brightness works. (It was not enabled by default, which made the setup screens quite dark.) Physical buttons. All hardware buttons work. USB. File transfer/ adb, USB dock / convergence works (via dock: USB keyboard/mouse, HDMI monitor). Software Lomiri greeter: I set a numeric PIN but the on-screen keyboard appears where previously a numeric keypad was shown. Browser Browser works with sites such as GitLab where earlier versions had login issues. YouTube test videos play fullscreen. DRM-protected videos (for example NPO Start in the Netherlands) do not work. Enabling the Widevine plugin does not complete correctly: the device shows "downloading" while the progress bar is at 100%; after ~15 minutes I had to force‑close the browser. Convergence Display, touchscreen, external mouse and keyboard, and Wi‑Fi work. The top bar is much larger than before and is dark, which conflicts with the icons; window information is not displayed. Ethernet works! but there is no indicator icon yet. Snap LibreOffice does not work; in fact no snaps work. When disconnecting from the dock all programs are closed, so you cannot continue working on the go. Other. The icons and clock are now neatly arranged and perfectly visible around the punch‑hole and curved screen edge in the top menu bar.

    @RJDan said: I would like to run the 'community favourite app' awards again later this year but there are a few things that could have been a bit improved. One issue was that we didnt have a nice award. foodle It would be good to gather something meaningful to provide as a reward to the developers. I was thinking to organise a fund raiser of sorts but I dont know what works best in this type of crowd. What types of fund raising has worked in the past? Love the idea of bringing the awards back, and having a tangible, meaningful reward for the developers would definitely level things up! For this type of tech and developer-focused crowd, standard fundraising can feel a bit dry, but a few specific approaches usually crush it. Open-source style crowdfunding platforms like Open Collective or GitHub Sponsors work incredibly well because developers already trust them.

    @WillemHexspoor I'm using the same provider and recently seeing connection problems in the Netherlands. But it may be my device. Not sure. I can't use 5g as I'm using a Oneplus 5t.

    @kristatos said: it also works if you swipe down the notification-indicator and tap on the notification. That was always working for all the apps. The issue is tapping on the notification bubble - that does nothing for apps like Dekko and Greenline - and my (humble) opinion is that tapping on the notification bubble should open the respective app, like tapping on the notification bubble for a new text message which indeed opens the Messages app.

    @wally @sixwheeledbeast Thanks for your replies/thoughts. I am so happy to be on a free and open technology such as Ubuntu Touch! I was so excited when I learned about it and got it to work on my device. I can deal with minor items such as this, but I also thought I would politely mention it as I am impressed with the community of developers and what they are able to do with various updates. (It's also possible this is low priority or as @wally alluded to, it may be device specific and may not be updated in the future). I thought it was better to politely mention it vs not saying it at all. Cheers!

    @kugiigi Mostly just trying to get it out of android to download new apps that work. Its not a daily driver, just trying to make the Glass more usable since Google dropped support for it.

    @UBportsNews Hi team! Thanks for all the hard work on the 24.04 (Noble) base. With the migration to Qt6 and a much more modern Chromium WebEngine, WebApps are performing better than ever. We know that tools like Webber are community-driven and not official UBports core apps, but they rely heavily on the system's capabilities. Historically, the lack of background/push notifications has been a blocker for web-based messaging apps. Now that we have a modern web base, what is the roadmap for Lomiri and the system's push services to support modern Service Workers or background execution for WebApps? Will we see a more native PWA integration down the road? Thanks!

    @MrT10001 yes, but trust me qemu static emulation or box64 can go a long way, not to mention you can just compile it on aarch64. if you use NixManager you can probably get all the compilation dependencies and compile natively on device.

    Actually, this is phenomenal. Can you join us on Telegram? We have two groups that could use this - the p3a group and the NA Issues group. I have forwarded this to both. Would love to have more details about what you did to achieve this...

    @fredldotme I don't know how I possibly missed this thread! I just posted here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/12355/volte-on-pixel-3a-working-on-verizon-us About getting it working on Halium 9. I hope I'm not re-doing work you've done or stepping on anything! But knowing how every carrier seems to be a little different, maybe this helps?

    @pparent did you use the restart button in system settings? If so its a bug that needs to be fixed. That button should remove everything from your system. If you remember, give me more details, I'll try to reproduce it. Anyway the only file outside the app data/cache/config directory is a unit file in your user systemd directory, you can see it by running sysremctl --user status greenline.service

    @pparent : Thank you so much!!! This was the solution Important for me in efl was not only to change the title, but also the name of the window, that means instead of only $win = pEFL::Elm::Win->util_standard_add("main", "pefl.maxperl"); also $win = pEFL::Elm::Win->util_standard_add("pefl.maxperl", "pefl.maxperl");

    @gpatel-fr said: la plupart des personnes utilisent Waydroid Helper pour ça Tu as sûrement raison, je croyais et trouvais logique que puisqu'il est installé par défaut sur Focal et Noble, on puisse l'initialiser sans outil externe, comme Libertine. En tous cas plus besoin de l'installer avec WH normalement, juste de l'initialiser donc.

    @AdFundum no problem! the process is basically 3 steps: verify image/PATH copy to lss wallpaper directory (so user can see the background in lss), this is optional if you don't care about the user being able to reset the background from lss its not necessary but still useful as a place the user wont casually delete unless they want the wallpaper gone. send the correct dbus calls to set URI (from new PATH of step 2) then call update on two services via dbus calls. EDIT: i think, or its close to that its been a month since i touched the background code in wallpaper.cpp
