Hello my name is jeremy aka developerbayman im a web/android/python developer and im excited to get started developing native apps for UBT im glad to finally be able to participate took me awhile to get a device that can run UBT and i cant wait to meet new people and collaborate on this (oops i just realized where i posted this mods please move to appropriate place)

i joined this community the day after my mom died ... not only did i get alot of love and support and a great distraction ....at the end of the day this is a great community! .... thank you!

now i ended up leaving ubuntu touch because it wasnt what i was looking for in a mobile operating system ...and thats ok

.....not only do i owe thanks for the emotional support but also thanks for the inspiration .... the things i dont like about UT lit a fire under me and eventually gave birth to "pylinux" .....while built on top of linux the total user software stack is all python applications (lol growing pains) eventually the total goal is to eventually port everything to python ....time will tell

after i post this im going to switch over to my pi then i can post picture of pylinux in action (sort of still a work in progress) .....but i would love to talk about it .....when designing most of the tools for pylinux ubuntu touch was in the back of my mind

the .xapk contains the obb files ...so the extaction should contain the apk and obb you will need to place in the android obb folder manually

@kugiigi lol true i could ....but i wont....for some reason im totally obsessed with UT (prob all the years i wanted a UT device)

....basically i look at it like this ....this is the platform i have chosen so what i will do is go long term once i master the dev cycle (like i did with android) i will just create the functionality i want

see part of the fun also is the feed back

Also i have to point out ...why even have libertine if not for power users?(i mean yeah i know its usefull for general use)

Its so close to being every devs nerd dream power pocket pc phone

~according to my beliefs i must remain a broken record on this ....even tho it might not have any real world effect lol

@Moem thanks man i appriciate that .....also as much as i might complain .....the UT community is filled with such wonderful people as yourself .....i cant walk away from that

You are correct i got rootfs rw all i fid was try again i guess it just took the 37th try .....whole thing makes no sense but it works

Also im able to run clickable from the command line

@Lindisfarne rename the .xapk to .zip and extract it

@schlicki2808 thats pretty cool you made that?

pretty self explanatory we need something like rom kitchen

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kitchen-android-kitchen-v0-224-linux-mac-windows.633246/

more devices=more people=more development=less load on existing developers=a better operating system

probably one of the coolest features is local LAN play (still a work in progress) the idea is to simulate a LAN on a local machine allowing split screen play on one computer

FINALLY!!! had to manually resize the partitions for no particular reason that made sense ....no really iv flashed UT on this like 2 dozen times ....i must have flash a borked rom with that android 16 and did something to the partitions ....idk didnt make a lick of sense to me ....ok it made sense

i wish i was a better programmer ....so much i want to do here .....at first i was a part of the group that was disappointed because UT wasnt what i thought it was ....i complained ....but eventually realized there is a blank canvas here .....and i could become an amazing artist ......with this personal revelation i now see UT as clay that needs molding from a artist .....i can single handedly shape the future of UT ....and i believe all things done in love can lead to a brighter future for anyone or anything ......iv been pretty down trodden my whole life (iv had a pretty difficult life i think) ....so im a big fan of the underdogs ......ubuntu touch is for sure the underdog .....but a tight knit community and refuses to die ......love it .....im still gonna fix this phone ....i dont think its broke just some technical issue that comes up with flashing a new random rom off the interwebs .....honestly i think its a borked partition and just needs a little format love ......i have a xaiomi redmi note 9 pro (miatoll) .....what is the most high end device supported at this time?? ....eventually im gonna go to whatever that is (money permitting)

yeah i always keep the original android 10 version to downgrade

yeah im well aware of the android version ....im thinking its more a file system size issue i think i may have had a faulty internet connection or something flashed a bad rom and issues happened ...ill investigate more i might simply need to redownload everything and make sure all my partitions are correct .....also could be something with the android 16 install ....as being new it could have some different requirements?? ...idk i do more when i get off work

basically i have been trying to experience android 16 with the new linux terminal so i reflashed my phone to test ...didnt like it as the terminal was still not available on the version i flashed went to go back to UT and cant get it to boot .....now keep in mind im no stranger to flashing things on this device very manually and am ok with the command line and ADB and fastboot ....nothing eludes or intimidates me about flashing this device .....but i still cant get UT to boot ....im not done messing with it (for tonight) ....but it does not look good and i dont know how ill be able to dev on something i cant run .....

@arubislander nice ill dive more in the documentation when i get some time but thank you this is good to know

ok the notification system? surly works on a service type base ....im sure the lingo is different but yeah

@arubislander WHAT!!!??? ....how? ...like so many questions

a two way direction service?

i need to learn more about clickable service mechanism ......the app launches a services than handles pip management with whatever hooking events to change the /usr/local/lib/python to /home/phablet/.local/share/<fullappname>/ ......whatcha all think?
