Focal/20.04 is out for quite a while now. You still use Xenial/16.04? I would like to know what stops you from upgrading?

@vince-vs said in Focal/20.04 is out for quite a while now. You still use Xenial/16.04? I would like to know what stops you from upgrading?:
Can you confirm this ?
I am afraid: no. I did had the workaround installed, that is described here. And now I am running the new kernel I linked further up that has got that patch included. So I won't have this issue at all.

Hello,
Please note that the audio recording of the camera does not work after broadcasting a call from OPT5; during an external call, there is no such problem.
If the only solution will be the new kernel, for the moment, until it's in a stable release, I can't risk installing it on a phone I use every day.
Do you think the new kernel will soon be available as a stable ota release ?
Sincerely -
@vince-vs I think you might refer to this general issue, that is raised from a certain time ago now. It's not "Focal" relative as it occurred on Xenial. Same happens on Volla Phone and Redmi Note 9S. (20.04 - OTA-4)
Since we're on focal I didn't test the sound script workaround described in the Github ticket:

Hello,
Ha, so it's been a long time already.
It's a shame for such an important feature on a smartphone ...
In any case, I can tell you that in 2022, on my OPT5,
it worked, because I had to use the camera and film ( with sound ) to show my car dealer that there was a problem in the steering of the car and fortunately because it was repaired ...
Anyway, maybe if the new kernel that @danfro is talking about will be available in a very soon ota, maybe that will fix this annoying bug.

Just to share my experience, few days ago Waydroid stopped to work for me with my Pixel 3a on 16.04 Stable channel. I was then forced to pass to 20.04, since I still need to have whatsapp in some ways available. I thought that upgrating from within the OS itself straight to 20.04 it would have been a good idea, avoiding using the Ubports installed but it was a great pain instead; it upgraded to 20.04 but OS resulted severely broken. In fact any kind of gesture I was used to was slower and unresponsive most of the time. Phone storage was awfully clogged, 60 GB nearly full for no apparent reason like if the new OS installed along with the old one. Subsequently, I decided to employ the Ubports installer without selecting the wipe option in order to preserve my data but it never ended the process, after many attempts with different usb cables (at least 5 cables I tried). There was no way to resurrect the phone, therefore in the end I was obliged to try to install by means of the Ubports installer but this time tapping on the wipe tick, to install from scratch. It worked flawless and now I'm on Focal 20.04. Unfortunately I lost some of my data, but luckily I was wise enough to backup at least my personal videos and pictures. The new environment seems much snappier than before, but I'll report my experience on that in a few days to get used to it.
