Camera flashlight seems to work on Noble, interesting, but the torch itself doesn't

I'm stupid, the phone hardware doesn't support NFC

Update: also adding a feature list for Noble, 7+ days stability ended up working (must've gotten unlucky), and changed mms to ? cos it seems I don't have mms from my provider

We have 24 hours battery life!

Is this thread only for working reports? cos it doesn't work for me, on either of my phones

Hardware acceleration is a no

A list of things that don't work:

• notification led
• torch
• video
• mms
• stability
• bluetooth
• wired external monitor

Ok so: wireless external monitor and NFC I can't test. Aside from those two, the only thing I haven't tested is 24 hours battery life but I need to test that again with less intensive usage so that'll take a while. I tested hardware acceleration and got moderately warm, like 40-45ish degrees judging by feel after 15 mins so nothing conclusive there, and I don't have a direct method to clearly indicate if there is hardware acceleration or not: so I'm leaving that as untested.

TL;DR: Still need to test 24 hours battery life, can't test the rest. I've marked the MR as ready.

Video acceleration: played a video for 15 mins and it warmed up, but not what I'd call hot. I'd like opinions on whether I should mark that as working or not, or better yet a more reliable way to check

Display out is nonfunctional

Dual sim wonky, second sim refuses to connect above 2g

Sim pin works (had to lock my sim again to check)

I found "Check if keyboard vibration works. This is a good indication that AppArmor has been successfully applied."

Since keyboard vibration works I'm going to assume AppArmor is in place

GPS works

Aaand it already failed the 7+ days stability test

Re: Why is this device not in the devices list for Focal?

https://gitlab.com/ubports/infrastructure/devices.ubuntu-touch.io/-/merge_requests/623

So, it turns out that the Redmi Note 7 has had a Focal channel for quite a while but it isn't on devices.ubuntu-touch.io
I've made a merge request (see above) to make an initial feature list which I think is all you need to add a focal channel to it? But I know nothing of how this works so if there are other things I need to do, feel free to tell me. Or I might realise trying to read scattered docs.

In addition, many features still need testing, namely: I've tested all the features I can, these are the ones that I can't test:
* Dual sim
* Sim pin unlock
* 24 hours battery life
* 7 days stability
* Video Acceleration
* Apparmor Patches (I'm not even sure what they are)

• Wireless External Monitor
  * NFC

* GPS
* Wired External Monitor

Any help, including advice on how to test a feature, and an explanation of exactly what stupid things I'm certainly doing somewhere, is much appreciated!

Update: Also adding a feature list for Noble. My provider doesn't have mms so I also can't test that.
Features I can't test:

• Wireless External Monitor (don't have one)
• NFC (don't have nfc tags)
• MMS (mobile provider doesn't have mms)

Lot of people have been asking about banking apps, I found one that works it's called Bunq
You'll need Gapps though as it is only available on the Play store

@danfro said in Add a launcher to the app drawer to run a command:

I actually had to add the line with "Type=Application" before the script launcher would show up in the launcher..

I'll move it to the top part then, thanks for the feedback!

Hurray for 150 Q&As!

Regarding the recent UT Noble upgrade, would you recommend people using only UT as a daily driver upgrade yet, or wait for Noble to be a bit more "stable"? Specifically for FP4 as that's what I'm using
Second question, regarding apps on Noble: will Focal apps work on Noble? I remember many Xenial apps stopped working and had to be upgraded to Focal.
Many thanks!

Re: Waydroid folders > Where in UT ?

What it says in the title. You can navigate to /home/phablet/.local/share/waydroid, and see the "data" folder, but on tapping it it says "Can not access data" (see picture).

In terminal, it is possible to continue farther, but only as root.
