        @k.nacke I was still actively testing UT, until I realized the errors on your gitlab (about the 1 gig upload). I will reflash UT tonight and keep testing.
        Thanks a lot,

          Thank you for your work. I am a new tester. Confirm missing characters. Sometimes character input in terminal repeats endless - till reboot.

            So I flashed it, surprisingly, a lot has improved thanks to your efforts.
            Waydroid is flawless and working. And the system is pretty stable.
            The keyboard characters seems to fix for English (UK), it’s the US keyboard that seems the problem.

            I spot one major problem, the back camera is cloudy and blurry. It works, but seems like moisture. Contrary to this, the front camera is actually much better than even Android.
            I think fixing the back camera is the last missing piece we might need, though I had only tested this for 3 hours. Will report back with more bugs if necessary

              I think it is fine now. After compressing the files there seems to be enough room left for the future.

                @CaptainTalonAlt Thanks for testing! Sounds all good. The missing characters are strange. I suspect some kind of memory or alignment issue. As soon as I change something in the kernel, the missing characters change.
                I have ideas about the camera issue, but this will need some time to fix.

                  @feuersee Thanks for testing! This character repetition in the terminal is something new. I'll try to reproduce it.

                    @k.nacke Thanks a lot for your efforts and time. Looking for an update.
                    What's ironic is that, the fron camera in UT is far more better than even the stock rom. Its only the back cam that is cloudy.
                    Really appreciate it, enjoying its so far.

                      @k.nacke Hey, thank you for your hardwork, I tested the latest artifact and here's my experience with what I tested:

                      wifi works, usb works.

                      Libertine works, I installed vlc but failed to go any further because "I'll have difficultly explaining this" you can't click all that you see but you can click some of it, it's like the input layer is misaligned with what's actually visible.

                      Waydroid works well, not much to point out about it.

                      Just like how others pointed out, the back camera is foggy but the front one works perfectly.

                      Missing characters, sometimes black vertical lines.

                      Offline charging doesn't work, the device gets stuck at the battery booting screen.

                        I've been testing this build, and it works really good! My only problem is that some characters just don't show up, especially q, y, f, g, h, and k.

                          @abdalnablse10 Thanks for trying. The problem with offline charging seems to be a regression, may be I disabled too much.

                          The vertical black lines feel like a "off by 1" error in the graphic pipeline. Not sure if I can do something about that.

                            @bellagon Thanks for trying. Yes, the missing characters are annoying. I still have not found a solution for it.
