        @isthisavailable I'd really like to see the bottom-swipe action split, with a short swipe meaning "back" and a long swipe providing the current action. A dedicated back button is what I miss most from Android.
        I don't think there's currently a way to send 'back events' to apps, so that would have to be added, of course.

          IIRC this question has already been answered in the past.

          A back button is not relevant for the system because it would limit/impose this feature for app developers.
          Not all apps need a back button, many of them don't have one and don't need it.
          A back feature is only relevant at app level.

          That's it for this Off Topic. Dalton will decide whether to clarify things during Q&A or not.
          Please, further discussion about this topic should be done in another thread.
          Thanks for understanding and helping the Q&A team sort through this thread.

            @applee The point is, it wouldn't be a button - but a gesture, which the app could interpret as "back" when it made sense. In other words, a shortcut to the visible back button typically at the top left of the screen (which I find very awkward to reach). But I'll leave it here, or start a new thread in the Design forum.

              @goozai Please can we leave this now. As @AppLee already said and explained this has been discussed on other q&as, but lets see what comes up in this Q&A rather than turn this request for Q&A questions thread into chat thread. Thanks

                @goozai it is an interesting thought - we won't have a 'universal back' ever i'm afraid - but discussions in the ux/design telegram seems to suggest that for apps that use the ut toolkit it may be possible able to alter the existing header/button - this of course would have to be changed in the toolkit, or simply implemented in a app first then adopted by other apps - the bottom gesture is app specific so not used at a system level.

                tldr: start by making a app that has this gesture

                  @opaijavai there is a qqc2 suru style, does the spinbox need to be themed, are you specifying suru for your style?

                      MiTurbo

                      No picture (make green) with MiTubo on the Volla: it is not yet the 'TuRbo'.. 😉

                        @domubpkm let the developer know, maybe some logs and gstreamer investigation can help 🙂 seems like maybe a volla native video problem?

                              @Flohack is really porting the Shift 6mq???

                              That's huge! - at least for me. I look for a successor of my Xperia X (with SFOS) for about a year. Vollaphone, Opo6, FP 3+, Xperia 10 ii but none them really convinced me to retire my Xx.

                              I never have thought about spending 800 € for phone. For this one I would.
