@pparent Hi, great work on the app. I was wondering though: Is there a reason you use pixels and not grid units (units.gu()) in your app for the margins etc?

Using grid units makes it so that it should scale properly across all devices.

@pparent You are preaching to the choir. I think you meant to reply to @bunt7

@bunt7 Not sure what MS being the owner of the source forge (GitHub in this case) has to do with the code hosted on there. It is not as if they are going to inject nefarious code during the build process.

At most the author might object to their code being used for machine learning. But that does not affect you as a user of the app in the least.

How to install Ubuntu Touch OS

You can install Ubuntu Touch on this device using the UBports Installer on your computer.

Make sure the bootloader of your device is unlocked and that your device has the required version of Android installed. Before installing, follow the device-specific instructions below:

Please confirm that your device is a Huawei Nexus 6P (angler). The LG Nexus 6 (shamu) is not compatible!
Please reset your device to stock Android 7.1.2 - Critical vendor files are otherwise missing!
Please install TWRP recovery and format all partitions due to the encryption applied by the stock ROM!

Though I have to ask what value you intend to derive from this exercise. The 6P runs Xenial, there has not been any interest to update it to focal, let alone noble. By now the OS is nearly unusable.

@O.o. said in Taking the plunge:

I enabled the SSH server with the terminal (kind of a pain to type without TAB emulation in the on-screen keyboard - none that I can see anyway)

Tapping once in the terminal app will input a TAB character, also works as autocomplete.

I didn't need to install anything to setup my VPN in UT: I just recreated the ca.crt, client.crt and client.key files from the .ovpn, configured the VPN manually, and it connected rightaway.

Using the nmcli commandline tool you can import ovpn files as is.

@smobilesoft said in Can NOT install UT Redmi note 9 pro "exit code 256":

The windows installer do not recognize the phone when it is in fastbootd mode, so it stops the process.

Probably missing drivers.

@ChevChelios Read in another thread that you flashed UT from Android 12, whereas the required version is Android 11. Not saying this is the cause of your issues, but it also cannot be discounted.

I would strongly suggest you reflash Android 11 and then install UT again. As a new user I would probably suggest you go with 20.04 stable, and give 24.04 some more time to get the bugs ironed out before you switch over to that.

@Keneda said in How do I find an android with Halium 10?:

20.04 is eol.

UT 20.04 is not yet EOL. It will still get one of two maintenance updates. When it is officially EOL this will be announced.

@Vlad-Nirky Banking apps are hit or miss. My Dutch bank's app does not even launch. (or it launches but then immediately exits)

@ikoz said in Electron apps on Ubuntu Touch:

IIRC, all desktop apps based on a framework other than Qt are currently uconfined, but Mir 2 should fix that (see the discussion around the problem for uWolf).

This is not the case. uFirefox on Noble, for instance, is strictly confined.

@ikoz I don't think the VSCode click is unconfined because it is an electron app. I think it is unconfined because it is a code editor which needs to be able to access different parts of the filesystem to be useful.

@mr_growl As I understand it, just that /data should be ext4. There is no need for repartitioning if the correct stock ROM was installed beforehand.

@socialbox This seems to be a port that is in progress. Instructions on installing and helping out with testing are here.

@kari Sounds more like a hardware issue to me. Especially given the fact that it is getting worse over time.

@johndoe There is also uFirefox.

See this Telegram message for more info.

@YamiYukiSenpai Until it is published in the Open Store, the update would be manual. But the author keeps pace with upstream very closely.

BTW, for Firefox there is uFirefox that uses the pmOS mobile configuration, and has OSK support (confined on noble, unconfined on focal)

@YamiYukiSenpai What version of UT are you on? And what update channel?

@uwahl You could try restarting the ofono service with

$ sudo systemctl restart ofono

@kugiigi But ROM means the actual opposite of storage... Read Only Memory. If you could not write to it, it would not be much of storage.

I get the meaning (kind of) when referring to different Android "distro's" but for on device storage?

(Although ROM vs RAM is also a misnomer as Read Only Memory is also Randomly Accessible)
