@Rondarius Ah, cool! In that case I'm definitely going to become a patron! Thanks.

RE: Recover files while stuck in bootloop?
@potet But how do I make a back-up when UT is not booting? That's my question.

RE: Busy, crowded app overview; Can Ubuntu Touch be converted to an iPhone interface?

I am definitely not an Apple fanboy. But as nice and intuitive as iOS (and macOS) work; It really is unbeatable.
Sorry to disagree, but I think you've mistaken intuitive and "used to".
Because never in a thousand years would I have figured about a diagonal draw...UI design of a smartphone is not just about "graphical design", you also have to deal with technical constraints (that can be overcome with time and money) and mostly subjectivity.
Everyone is different and everyone find great things in both iOS and Android, but no one has not a complaint and wish something was different or more like X or Y.Having the drawer less crowded means less apps visible at a glance hence scrolling or typing action.
I thin @kugiigi is right about masking the launcher when the drawer is expended but the transition might be weird...
I thing if the drawer had the same spacing between icons you might feel it is a bit more calming and pleasing (I feel it could be an answer to your issue) but many will probably say that before they had all their favorite apps right there and now they have to scroll...So really not a simple question.
If you come up with a mockup and if someone is willing to try and implement it, I guess we can have a poll and decide to mainstream it or make it available to tweak this out.Exactly! I love intuitive designs too and I too am a normal user (and 31 years old, so not an old geezer!), but iOS is not intuitive for me (and Android is even worse). Ubuntu Touch is way more intuitive to me, including the app drawer. I love the app drawer and launcher so much as they currently are, so please don't change that! Or if it's changed, at least provide an option to keep the current workflow for people like me.

RE: Device donation
@messayisto said in Device donation:
@Vistaus Maybe you ask in the device section of the forum or contact the porter?
Maybe, but it's not just the porter that would benefit. UBports devs could use it for other development and testing purposes too.

RE: Recover files while stuck in bootloop?
@rocket2nfinity said in Recover files while stuck in bootloop?:
@Vistaus If you can boot TWRP, you can back it up to an SD or pull it that way. But, only if there isn't anything wrong with memory/emmc.
That turned out to be the solution! Thank you so, so much!

RE: Change default font
@arubislander said in Change default font:
@Vistaus said in Change default font:
after rebooting the font remains Ubuntu-L
And are you saying that the change has no effect at all? Or that the effect is reverted after a reboot?
What device are you running? And is this the same device you ran 16.04 on, but just updated, or is it a different device?
The change has no effect at all.
My device is a Fxtec Pro1 X with 20.04. I finally received it the other day. My 16.04 device is a Xiaomi Redmi 9, so not the same device.

RE: Change default font
@arubislander said in Change default font:
@Vistaus so maybe you are copying it to the wrong location?
I'm copying them to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/, overwriting the existing files, same as I did on 16.04. So i.e. Verdana.ttf to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-L.ttf and /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-R.ttf - VerdanaBold.ttf to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-B.ttf, etc.

RE: Change default font
@arubislander said in Change default font:
@Vistaus said in Change default font:
On 16.04 I could overcome that by copying my own fonts over the default ones in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/*.ttf, but that doesn't work anymore on 20.04.
How does it not work on 20.04? What goes wrong?
What goes wrong is that no matter what font I copy over, like on 16.04, after rebooting the font remains Ubuntu-L on 20.04.

Change default font
Everything is rendered in Ubuntu-L.ttf, which is very hard to read. On 16.04 I could overcome that by copying my own fonts over the default ones in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/*.ttf, but that doesn't work anymore on 20.04. Is there any way to make this work still or at least find a way to use Ubuntu-R or Ubuntu-M instead of the hard-to-read Ubuntu-L?

Device donation
Hello,
I have a Pixel 3a that I want to donate to UBports. It currently runs Ubuntu Touch 20.04, so it's already set up for you guys to use. How can I donate it to you?

RE: Browser flac media type?
@arubislander said in Browser flac media type?:
@Vistaus Do they work in VLC installed in a Libertine container?
Sorry, forgot to mention that I already tried that, but VLC only displays a black screen upon opening (other Libertine apps open fine, though).
Device: Xiaomi Redmi 9
OS version: 16.04 Xenial, devel channel -
RE: Browser flac media type?
@arubislander said in Browser flac media type?:
@Vistaus, if evem music player does not recognize your flac files, then I maybe there is something wrong with them? Can you copy the file back to your PC and try to play it from there? If you can't then try playing the original file? If you can play that, then maybe something went wrong in the copying.
They work perfectly fine on my PC, in all music apps (Amarok, VLC, Elisa, etc.).

RE: Browser flac media type?
@vandys Sorry for the bump, but I have run into this issue as well. Even the music player can't play my flac files.
