    @sysadmin Same question (more or less) Is there a way to install UT by downloading the necessary files beforehand? There are an increasing number of people living in countries (such as Russia) that block our servers and are unable to complete the installation.

    Thanks to some great feedback from Vladimir, I was able to fix a bug: an issue with loading a saved game, which stemmed from an actual issue with clicking on a tool that cost too much. Also, I was able to add a feature he suggested, which was a button to return to the game from the main menu. Testers and feedback always welcome! The original post has been updated with new build links.

    Just pushed a new release for this app: Better image and video controls. Pinch to zoom, double tap, and other gestures. (thanks @kugiigi , heavily inspired in your commit for the gallery app) Upgrade some libraries Don't crash the person list page if a person does not have a thumbnail Support servers with subpaths (like https://example.com/immich) Give a better error to the user if app cannot connect to Immich on login

    @pleoni ah yes I missed that sorry about it. The problem is that your device has an old kernel, so probably you should try to setup a policy V1 as stated here

    Since you care about it, you are the most likely person to make it happen. In order to make it happen, what's needed is: the ability to unlock the bootloader the kernel source someone who is willing and able, and has the skills or is willing to learn and who has the device in hands. If all of these conditions are met, it could happen. Since this question is not about any existing port or port-in-progress, it will now be moved to the 'off topic' category.

    @Privacy-freedom i don't know about the tablet as i bought the UT version. But when I changed my Phone 22 from Villa OS to UT I just followed the online guide and it worked fine at first try. Just one thing: the pen is not yet implemented in UT but the keyboard works fine.

    @pparent Yes the script works well. However, maybe a side effect that I noticed (not in the train) : VoLTE and cellular data use different APNS from what I understood. So, without the script, I have Volte enabled even though cellular data is off. When the script is enabled, VoLTE only works if cellular data is enabled.

    @Linus67 it needs to be ran as root. Sudo is interactive in terminal so it won't work, but pkexec is the GUI equivalent so it should launch a popup for the password. Alternatively set the suid bit of the script to make it always run as root without password (and ensure the file is not writable by phablet as that would allow local privilege escalation).

    @StephPTi Now you can see in Greenline: Meta stores all your actions on WhatsApp. If you like a comment in a group, that contact is stored in the database linked to your phone number. You can view all these records now in Greenline. You now have a complete list of the phone numbers (contacts) to which you have ever reacted or commented. This is part of the metadata that WhatsApp stores permanently on its servers: when you interacted with whom. This means that most of what you delete in WhatsApp is simply hidden. In a future version of Greenline, it may be possible to hide this ‘metadata’.

    @jojumaxx about your first question, how about the standard way of deleting stuff in UT, swipe to the right and (normally) a red trash icon is displayed) ? about your second question, here is a screenshot on my device: add to places works fo me! [image: 1778766057725-addtoplaces.jpg] AFAIK you have to be IN the folder you want to add.

    @Peyo il est possible qu'il s'agisse d'un problème de focus. Avec mon Fairphone 5 j'ai eu longtemps des soucis sur les photos à faible distance (à peu près moins de 50cm) qui étaient toutes floues, j'ai utilisé le truc de basculer en mode caméra puis revenir en mode photo, mais une manoeuvre plus simple est de tapoter un peu l'écran ce qui indique au logiciel d'esssayer d'améliorer le focus. L'appareil photo sous Waydroid n'a pas ce souci sur le même matériel, le focus est correct immédiatement à toute distance.

    @UT-downunder Windows, yes. Linux users have gotten it to work either using a VM (requires a VM with USB port pass through. Some work, some don't), or by installing Windows to Go on a USB drive. Alternatively, there is a way to do it in linux somewhere in the ubPorts OP6 forum, but I haven't used it in years (I use Windows To Go on a USB SSD-Transend thumb drive SSD). Or just borrow someone's machine for a few.

    On the subject of battery consumption. It is very difficult to compare battery consumption when devices are being used simultaneously. I only test and compare battery consumption under identical conditions without active use (for example, at night) 7 hours in aeroplane mode 7 hours with only calls and texts active 7 hours with selected background services also active. (Selected apps, such as Dekko, or those with connections to NextCloud) Using this test method, I have not observed any increased battery consumption with RC 1.3.

    @hlbkv You could try the installer (leave the option to delete user data to its default value, unchecked).

    @Privacy-freedom You need to gain a bit more experience to create a .conf file properly and ensure it works as intended. Don’t forget to make copies of your working settings. AI can also be helpful.
