    • 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

      @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

      @Moem
      ATM's, online, telephone, post? There are fewer and fewer banks in UK towns, but that doesn't mean you have to have a smartphone for banking. I guess we use plastic cards a lot more nowadays, but I don't feel any problem in not being able to run banking apps on my phone

    • RE: Do you think you know Ubuntu Touch ?

      @libremax
      Happy memories, that was the start of my 10-year switch to Ubuntu Touch phones. With more and more people getting unhappy with Google and Apple, there must be a great opportunity for some manufacurer and retailer to offer for sale a great off-the-shelf UT phone now?

    • 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).
