Actually I solved to restore my backup.

Here's how I did it:

install UT on new device setup SSH between Desktop and UT device (instruction e.g. here (in German): https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Ubuntu_Touch/Terminal/#SSH ) create folder to mount UT root with ssh: mkdir ~/UPhone-Home mount UT via SSH on Desktop: sshfs phablet@IP_ADRESS_PHONE:/ /home/$USER/UPhone-Home/ on Desktop: cd into directory with BUDS backup: cd ~/buds/backup/DATE/ on Desktop: start restore of data with: tar -xf BACKUP.tgz -C /home/$USER/UPhone-Home/home/phablet/

It runs through and all data is restored in the correct path. 🙂

E.g. when there is a file in the tgz:
/./Music/Track1.mp3
it will be correctly restored in
/home/phablet/Music/Track1.mp3

So this issue here seems not to be a problem: https://github.com/popey/buds/issues/10

First time I read this /hdd/home/sebastian/ it got my attention too. How is your /home mounted exactly?

Ah yes. This could be. Have to check with my Admin. Thanks.

Thank you. I tried already, but it has not helped. So I emailed the developer. Let's see what he says.

Anyway sth. strange happens, so the pebble is working again. One of the retries worked out randomly....

@Bastos
You are welcome. I'm glad I was able to solve your problem.

Hallo,

Microphoneunterstützung ist in RockWork leider nicht implementiert...

I changed mine from recovery just with :sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com --device=turbo --channel=15.04/devel

all data and settings intact 🙂

us about that statement so I've permitt

Ok let me be more specific: There are certain TV series and movies that can be watched in HD. Its not the fault of Amazon but most of the big studios only permit HD content if it is displayed on a HDCP protected display. Which is not available for Linux.

So I need to rephrase: I CANT watch popular movies in HD, ..., some TV series (Amazons own productions e.g.) work fine.

KeePit, which is in the official store, is another app for kdbx databases. Unfortunately it hasn't been moved to the openstore yet. I'll contact the developer.

@Bastos said in How to give credits for forum users?:

I am very grateful, that there is this quite good responding community. So if someone posts sth. helpful, I would like to give credits to him. How can I do this?

Yes. Thanks. So I have done for your post 🙂

@NeoTheThird said in Will uApp Explorer survive the cannonical UT shutdown?:

Hope that answerers your questions.

As far as possible for you fttb. So thank you.

Please NOTE that not all applications can work with the sd-card. I.e. the camera app has a feature for that, but I got frequent crashes with selecting external storage for pictures. This is maybe fixed in the current versions however.

For me it just worked "out of the box" on my phone and tablet. My config :
Account Settings
Username & Password (same format that when you log in your server website, for me it is just the username, not username@domain.org)
Server URL : https://webcloud.zaclys.com
Sync on mobile data checked (but it also works unchecked)
Sync frequency : 60 minutes (what you want but don't choose "No sync" !)

Sync Folders
Local Folder : /home/phablet/Documents
Remote Folder : /Documents

Local Folder : /home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera
Remote Folder : /Photos/Aquaris

Local Folder : /home/phablet/Videos/com.ubuntu.camera
Remote Folder : /Videos/Aquaris

Sync service
you have to activate the service
you can manually sync to test your config

I use a server from Zaclys : https://www.zaclys.com/
They use the 8.0.4 Owncloud version but they offer the Nextcloud 12 version too.

I tried too with Unixcorn : https://unixcorn.org/
with https://cloud.unixcorn.org and a 12.0.2 Nextcloud version but it never worked for me (no sync).

I suppose that Owncloud-Sync doesn't works with Nextcloud. It would be great thought !
I hope all of this could help you.

And this is what I like to read too!!! Multiboot different recoveries in EFIDroid

Compatability has to be in the core in some form.

To me theres no realistic way without compatability.

I gave up on my ubuntu mx4 and now use the mx meizu flyme android because of............the money.

Not linux/Android/freedom, like/dislike discussions, but simply because I would have to have two phones: To operate with my banking, reading danish newspapers, see danish television, use the danish mobilePay, use the phone with online ticketing for bus/train - a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with "hobbyist" fiddling with philosophical linux/windows/android speculations but all to do with very everyday digitalizations of very soon everything in daily life.

And all those local institutions in all countries are NOT going to create linux compatible versions of their apps.
But they are going to be even more necessary to have access to.

That leaves the discussions with no choice - if the UBport is going to be anything else than a utopian/idealistic project, it will have to cooperate with a lot of android apps.

I emailed the developers of Symphytum, and got a response. Oirio Joshi wrote:

"Hello.

"A mobile version requires to rewrite the GUI part entirely, so that's probably not going to happen anytime soon, unless anyone is interested in contributing that. I think a mobile friendly GUI could be shared with android and other linux based mobile systems.

"Symphytum is more or less in maintenance mode, where smaller features and bug fixed can be expected but we, as a small team, don't have the resources for such a big change, but who knows what the future looks like."
