Hi guys, I'm truying to build Sota4ever_k repository for a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE (r8s, SM-G780F/DS, with Exynos) Is it still usable? Right now, it fails with lot of warning in openssl + make O=/home/vincent/dev/git/UTFamily-Samsung-Exynos9830/workdir/downloads/KERNEL_OBJ CC=clang -j16 scripts/kconfig/conf -s --syncconfig Kconfig /home/vincent/dev/git/UTFamily-Samsung-Exynos9830/workdir/downloads/linux-android-samsung-exynos990/scripts/extract-cert.c: In function ‘display_openssl_errors’: /home/vincent/dev/git/UTFamily-Samsung-Exynos9830/workdir/downloads/linux-android-samsung-exynos990/scripts/extract-cert.c:46:9: warning: ‘ERR_get_error_line’ is deprecated: Since OpenSSL 3.0 [-Wdeprecated-declarations] 46 | while ((e = ERR_get_error_line(&file, &line))) { | ^~~~~ In file included from /home/vincent/dev/git/UTFamily-Samsung-Exynos9830/workdir/downloads/linux-android-samsung-exynos990/scripts/extract-cert.c:23: /usr/include/openssl/err.h:426:15: note: declared here 426 | unsigned long ERR_get_error_line(const char **file, int *line); ......... lot of warning, and then..... 1 warning generated. /home/vincent/dev/git/UTFamily-Samsung-Exynos9830/workdir/downloads/linux-android-samsung-exynos990/drivers/video/fbdev/exynos/panel/sysfs.c:2358:21: warning: unused variable 'panel_data' [-Wunused-variable] struct panel_info *panel_data = &panel->panel_data; ^ 1 warning generated. /home/vincent/dev/git/UTFamily-Samsung-Exynos9830/workdir/downloads/linux-android-samsung-exynos990/drivers/video/fbdev/exynos/dpu30/decon_core.c:1200:38: error: use of undeclared identifier 'prev_state' decon_doze_first_frame_black(decon, prev_state, next_state); ^ 1 error generated. make[6]: *** [/home/vincent/dev/git/UTFamily-Samsung-Exynos9830/workdir/downloads/linux-android-samsung-exynos990/scripts/Makefile.build:333: drivers/video/fbdev/exynos/dpu30/decon_core.o] Error 1 make[6]: *** Attente des tâches non terminées.... make[5]: *** [/home/vincent/dev/git/UTFamily-Samsung-Exynos9830/workdir/downloads/linux-android-samsung-exynos990/scripts/Makefile.build:638: drivers/video/fbdev/exynos/dpu30] Error 2 make[4]: *** [/home/vincent/dev/git/UTFamily-Samsung-Exynos9830/workdir/downloads/linux-android-samsung-exynos990/scripts/Makefile.build:638: drivers/video/fbdev/exynos] Error 2 make[3]: *** [/home/vincent/dev/git/UTFamily-Samsung-Exynos9830/workdir/downloads/linux-android-samsung-exynos990/scripts/Makefile.build:638: drivers/video/fbdev] Error 2 make[2]: *** [/home/vincent/dev/git/UTFamily-Samsung-Exynos9830/workdir/downloads/linux-android-samsung-exynos990/scripts/Makefile.build:638: drivers/video] Error 2 make[2]: *** Attente des tâches non terminées.... make[1]: *** [/home/vincent/dev/git/UTFamily-Samsung-Exynos9830/workdir/downloads/linux-android-samsung-exynos990/Makefile:1144: drivers] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:146: sub-make] Error 2 What can I do?

Hi @Thomasb98, There is a documentation: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction/ Hope it helps... It seems feasible because this device is supported by lineageos and kernel source code is available: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/PL2/ Do you have the version with 4 GB of RAM or the one with 3 GB?

@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…

@UBportsNews Can you please remind people about the 'community favourite app' awards that will happen toward the end of the year. Toward the end of the year we will run the 'community favourite app awards' where we the community votes on our favourite apps for the year. Keep your eyes on what you use daily, pay attention when an app has some great updates and remember all those new apps. youll want all that info for the nominations and voting later. If you have ideas for fundraising for an award please do offer suggestions. It would be great to have something substantial to give the developers.

@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.

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

@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.

@libremax Spain when there's football on the tv (I'm not joking)

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 ;-).

@MrT10001 then I guess it's not for me. Thank you all for the clarification.

Buddy, is anyone already working on this device? What’s still missing, and how can I help?

is there a way to move to the stable channel? in the settings & wiki i can only find the daily channel..
