@flohack Hello,
Last year I had to reinstall Android for some months and I used LineageOS. This Android version allows you to run the selinux commands without the need of Magisk. It allows you to run adb shell commands as root with a simple checkbox in the developper settings.
I was happy to discover this possibility with LineageOS as I had already restored my data on the phone 
Hi!
Thanks for the this work, it's really cool to be able to receive and view Signal messages without needing to open the whole Waydroid stuff 
I'll take a look to the way you did it, as I've seen there's an unofficial Dino application snap package available (this is an XMPP client). I'll check if I can port this application using same techniques.
@pparent I've plugged my phone on a monitor and leverage the Ubuntu Touch desktop mode (convergence) to have Signal UT and Waydroid side by side. Then you can take picture directly with your phone.
The only thing a bit hard with this setup were that Waydroid scale with a big zoom. I had to update the LineageOS display setting to reduce UI to the smallest possible value.
I've just tried your click on 24.04-1.2 on a Fairphone4 and it works well thanks!
The content hub is a great feature and I was able to send and receive pictures.
I've installed the Malakiboard with the Ambot Installer and reduced the height of my keyboard and it seems there's some space wasted when keyboard is shown on Kaidan (see screenshot below). I don't know if there's a way with Lomiri to know the current keyboard height to adapt the UI correctly. Anyway this is a minor bug.
Hello
I'm pleased to announce I've published muttum for Lomiri today:
https://next.open-store.io/app/org.muttum.muttum-lomi/
The player has 6 attempts to retrieve a word from a dictionary. Currently the game contains 3 dictionaries: english, german and french.
If you know a dictionary for your language I can add it in next versions. The requirement is to have a plain text file with one word by line.
Some notes:
@stanwood thanks !
Nice to see Swiss users too
I took time to test with the different update channels available and VoLTE works with current 24.04-0.1/daily channel (update 2025-10-19/3).
Here are steps I've just followed:
Then, download UBports Installer 0.11.2 and start the process to install Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 stable channel wipping user data.
Phone seems connected to 4G: the network status icon has letter « L ». Although voice phone call did not work.
I tried to call my Ubuntu Touch device with another Android phone and I didn't received the call on the Ubuntu Touch one.
I tried to run the gdbus command and I got same result than you (neither registered, nor voice and sms capabilities).
On a new test, I've started journalctl -f and I attach the result here. Let me know if more logs are needed.
Note that before doing the call, I disconnected wifi to be sure to use VoLTE and not VoWifi.
I've just opened an issue on Gitlab so developpers can check the logs and ask me more of them if needed: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/ubuntu-touch/-/issues/2281
I had to install back a second time Android on my Fairphone 4, this time I've took some notes shared below.
TLDR: LineageOS developer options pane allows you to enable Rooted debugging. This allows you to use the adb root command which start a rooted debugging session. Then you can use adb shell to open a console on the device and run restorecon -FR /mnt/vendor/persist to restore the SELinux permissions.
From Ubuntu Touch, the easiest way to go to the fastboot mode, is to open the terminal application and run:
sudo reboot -f bootloader
Then, I used the Android 11 factory reset image provided by Fairphone (but don't do like me, see below).
Then, I wanted to install LineageOS and they require to have Android 13/15.
So, I opened Android 11, go to phone information in the settings application, repeatedly touch the build number until the developer mode is enabled.
Go, to the system panel in the settings application, open the developer mode and enable the ADB debugging.
On my computer, I go back to the fastboot mode with:
adb reboot bootloader
I've installed Android 13 factory reset image provided by Fairphone as I already have downloaded it for another experiment.
Then I boot Android 13 and enabled usb debugging with same steps than Android 11 (see above).
Then I've followed LineageOS instructions to install it step by step:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/FP4/install/
Then, with LineageOS, you can enable developer options with same procedure.
The LineageOS developer options have two options: USB debugging and Rooted debugging, you need the last one to be able to run commands to reset correctly permissions on the hardware drivers.
Then, on my computer I was able to run, adb root to start rooted debugging, open a shell on the phone with adb shell and run in this shell restorecon -FR /mnt/vendor/persist:
$ adb root
restarting adbd as root
$ adb shell
FP4:/ # restorecon -FR /mnt/vendor/persist
SELinux: Loaded file context from:
/system/etc/selinux/plat_file_contexts
/system_ext/etc/selinux/system_ext_file_contexts
/product/etc/selinux/product_file_contexts
/vendor/etc/selinux/vendor_file_contexts
/odm/etc/selinux/odm_file_contexts
FP4:/ #
Then you need to reboot and you can check this worked by enabling the automatic rotation feature: open an application and rotate your phone, the application should follow the movement
