    • RE: Pro1 X keyboard backlight

      @kanguru007
      Partial answer to this at
      https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3684-ubuntu-touch-physical-keyboard-backlight-pro1x/

      To set permissions:
      sudo chmod 666 /sys/class/leds/:kbd_backlight/brightness

      To turn on backlight:
      echo "1" > /sys/class/leds/:kbd_backlight/brightness

      To turn off backlight:
      echo "0" > /sys/class/leds/:kbd_backlight/brightness

      I wrote those into 2 one-line scripts called klon and kloff, for brevity.

      If you don't turn it off manually, the backlight stays on even when you close the keyboard

    • RE: Create subforum for f(x)tec Pro¹ and Pro¹-X

      @Lakotaubp
      I got a Pro¹-X yesterday and can report that installing UT using the UBports installer went very well, very smoothly. The build seems excellent, better than on the OnePlus 6T, which has a few glitches. Only glitch I've discovered so far is that flashlight doesn't turn on from the Battery icon switch. A sub-forum for this device would be helpful. Shipping was delayed for a long time but the company has a push to fulfil orders lately.

    • RE: Can't get waydroid folders to be read or write.

      @Rinkeby said in Can't get waydroid folders to be read or write.:

      ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/

      To make ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/ readable, open a terminal window, cd to the directory, and use sudo chmod 775 <directory name> to make it readable. Or sudo chmod 777 if you want to write to it. Similarly for ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media
      ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0

      It's fixed on the stable channel too (I just installed it and it's fine)

    • RE: Keyboard vibration always on

      @kugiigi YES! That fixes it. Very many thanks!

      Now I will disturb those around me less, and save battery

    • RE: snapz0r on OnePlus 6T?

      @domubpkm said in snapz0r on OnePlus 6T?:

      @ancientsounds
      It is said in the comment of the store :

      For proper support make sure to ask your device's maintainer to enable the following kernel defconfig switches:

      CONFIG_SQUASHFS=y
      CONFIG_SQUASHFS_XZ=y
      CONFIG_SQUASHFS_LZO=y

      I asked to the maintainers of the Volla first generation to check the config two days ago because i want to test too. It will be ok on dev probably this day for the Volla. And maybe you should ask too for your phone.

      @sevralt - Please can you/maintainers/devs for OnePlus 6T add those kernel defconfig switches, so snapz0r app for installing snaps can work?

      I got a OnePlus 6T recently and have been trying to solve a few problems with it, but I don't have the skill of some people. But I did get USB-C headphones working 🙂

    • snapz0r on OnePlus 6T?

      Installed snapz0r from OpenStore, because it looks really good, but it doesn't seem to do anything on OnePlus 6T

    • RE: reimage

      @bdomecq The issue with rounded corners cutting off part of the time display can be fixed using the Ambot app to install Lomiri Plus settings in the System menu. A corner margin of 30 px is good. The central notch of the front-facing camera can also be fixed with that tool. Notch top margin 77px and notch width of 46 px will be good. (These measurements are not exact: tweak as you like it.)

    • RE: snapz0r on RC test OTA-4 : does it work ?

      @domubpkm The same issue of Firefox snap opening with an empty/transparent window also occurs on my f(x)tec Pro1-X device, and I see reports of it on other distros and other OS's, so it's not due to snapz0r as such

    • RE: UT on F(x)tec Pro1-X

      @qnx_guy I can confirm that UT on f(x)tec Pro1-X is very stable, and battery life is good. Yes the keyboard works fine. The only tiny weakness I have found is that the mobile telephony receiver is not quite as “sensitive” about picking up a 4G signal as my other phone, a OnePlus 6T. (But it does pick up 4G, it's not a fault.) In all other respects, the Pro1-X is impressive.

      I haven't tried casting to an external monitor.

    • Videos don't play any more

      Media player doesn't play video files any more (mp4). Audio mp3 files play fine. Anybody know why/how to fix it? Or where I can log the problem for mediaplayer-app developer(s).

    • RE: OnePlus 6T repeatedly restarting

      @MrT10001 Your suggestion to discharge the battery completely was the solution. Phone has been working fine since then. Many thanks!

      @CoffeeFreak Same problem on BQ Aquaris M10 HD running Xenial. Firefox has installed well, scrolling is OK, all looks fine but tabs crash constantly. My network connection isn't the greatest, to be fair

      @MrT10001 Thank you so much. It is quite hot when it restarts: what do you mean by “internal clean up”?

    • OnePlus 6T repeatedly restarting

      For some mysterious reason, my OnePlus 6T has recently started randomly rebooting many times per day, sometimes several times in an hour, when I'm not even using the phone. Does anybody know why, or what the fix could be?
