@lakeview If you are concerned about the privacy of your laptop OS, you could try booting into a live Ubuntu session from a USB stick and trying the UBports installer snap package.

@lakeview said in I need some help here: I don't understand how to downgrade my Google Pixel 3A XL to Android 9 after hours of searching, nor do I know how to ask a question here. I'm feeling prett:

my Linux OS

What Linux OS are you running?

@Nicolai-Ek they are related. Waydroid changed the permissions of folders it has access to. Making it so that the phablet user can no longer access the folder.

@domubpkm I think they mean copy / pasting between waydroid and UT. Copy/paste between UT apps and the Lomiri DE works in noble.

In all of this I would like to caution that depending on Waydroid for crucial functionality such as banking, without any plan b scenario is a ticking time bomb.
What happens if the banking app has an update in the future that makes it no longer work?

@RJDan Nevertheless it is probably an unintended consequence of something you might have tried.

Because out of the box the Downloads and Music folders are proper folders and not symplinks.

@kristatos Yeah, Dekko users will not be wanting to do that...

@moodroid what you readvwas probably a hope rather than a statement of fact. OSK for snaps on UT will probably not come out of the box with the noble release.

@wally Just be aware that if you simply upgrade it from inside the OS you will likely end up upgrading past Android 10.

@RJDan it is not 'normal' as in 'works as intended' but it is 'normal' as in 'the current state of things'.

@thebroison The Pixel 3 was never a device supported in the installer.
And trying to install the Pixel 3a version will brick your device.

@_Joao_ Could this be a scaling issue? Is your scaling still set to the default for your device?
Or maybe it is a zooming issue. Can you Zoom in or out using the zoom widgets (not by spearing and pinching with you fingers.)?

@atarilinux I think the patched kernel came with the newer Android version.

@atarilinux said in VoLTE Implementation For Google Pixel 3a/3a XL:

New kernel (as kernal can't be patched, right?)

With Halium ports you can't just use any newer kernel. You need to use the kernel version the corresponding Android the port s based on came with.

The existing kernel can be patched. It might just be a lot of work, depending on how big the difference is between the source of the patched and the target kernel.

@fair You can hide the Android icons using the Waydroid Helper app.

@Simmonz similar behavior, but different cause I guess.

@Simmonz a major drawback of snaps on UT at the moment is that the OSK does not come up.

@RJDan the LXD snap also works. I wrote short instruction post on how to get it running.

@RJDan If you are on Focal and your devices's port has the proper adaptations, all you need to do is install the Snapz0r app from the Open Store and follow the instructions after launchnig it.

@Alain Can you share a print screen of an example? Just so we can check if it is a post an admin deleted, or the user themselves.
