@E-Z-Tux idk the chip manufacturer for this tablet but research this:
if Mediatek: bootrom bypass & sp flash tool
if Qualcomm: EDL mode & Download tool

RE: Use phone as modem with gnome-calls
@Kjetil considering UT is linux, something probably could be done but its another "nice to have" that will be on the backburner until the end of time.

RE: About to begin porting for the first time for Samsung Tab S6 Lite (Looking for advice)
@gpatel-fr i'd say its more general experience coding/compiling, i will say the real barrier right now is enough ram to compile and have a few browser tabs open.

RE: I wanna go home
@sixwheeledbeast a swipe from left to right opens the drawer, so i dont think making an action similar to it good (it also is the current action that happens when you do that) lomiri already has a lot of swipes, you swipe to go to drawer you swipe to close apps you swipe to switch to the app that you've used last (besides active app) and you swipe for the indicators.
thats why i think double tap on logo is good, you're not likely to do it by accident, tapping the logo while drawer is open already closes it, and this action in desktop mode should just toggle minimize to all windows.
either way this action cannot be a gesture because all direction are saturated with one or more gestures adding more we will be asking the user to be precise with finger movements, this means training muscle memory and paying attention. and that is a finite resource before the user snaps and quits on you this resource should be spent only when necessary.

RE: I wanna go home
@UniSuperBox i know this is super old, but will a double tap on the ubuntu logo not suffice for going to background? its an action that exists both on desktop and mobile.
i do agree that even in 2026 the background doesn't have anything useful rn.

RE: Poco X3 is no longer viable
@kln_nurv yeah, its xiamoi in general thats not viable anymore, and I don't think any new xiaomi device will be ported. about the poco X3, if it doesn't have an efuse you're best bet is to downgrade to miui 12 with sp flash tool and bootrom bypass, then install a custom payload.bin from an already unlocked phone, i don't have this device but if you want this to still be viable we need a unlocked bootloader dump from a donor phone via sp flash (preferably a full nand dump).
if you get me a full nand dump i can probably create a small bootloader unlock "rom" for you to flash with sp flash.just be ware that the nand dump if it a full one should not contain these: protect1, protect2, nvcfg, nvdata, nvram because they contain IMEI, bluetooth address/MAC, ect.
protect1/2 are sometimes called L/R instead of 1/2 in the scatter file. -
RE: lets talk about the "focus bug" ...i dub thee
@developerbayman my guess is your app's creating a window which causes the focus to shift then the window crashes(or gets killed by lomiri) in a way that does not return focus.

RE: Need help spoofing a Motorola Edge 2023 (XT2305-1) in WayDroid
@R66F root, you'd probably need to use a custom waydroid gsi with SU binaries. from there just install one of the many root modules/frameworks that let you spoof app id's

RE: Touchpad Users/Experts: What gestures and corresponding functions do you want in Lomiri/Ubuntu Touch?
@kugiigi i use it for copy/pasting highlighted text on xfce but i really dont know what you'd use it for on windows.

RE: Touchpad Users/Experts: What gestures and corresponding functions do you want in Lomiri/Ubuntu Touch?
@kugiigi double finger scroll is really all i use, i do have one other gesture but idk if its standard or if its useful in lomiri but three finger press for middle click.

RE: French ID app interoperability.
@Moem I second this, I've been wondering why this was on recent in the inTouch app for who knows how long.

RE: Battery saving/Low Power mode within OS discussions?
@gpatel-fr for FP5 check my post on how to charge limit, its broken fundamentally but I've used it on mine for almost a year and its fine, but do at you're own risk.
-
RE: Battery saving/Low Power mode within OS discussions?
@sixwheeledbeast its already on my backlog along with proper HAL support for charge limiting.
tbh the chance of this happening is low because im living in israel so combine current geopolitical state with university and already being commited to creating xdg-desktop-portal-lomiri for xdg portals support and the chance of me doing this anytime soon is almost nil.
but still its on my todo so unless something changes eventually ill get around to it.

RE: Fairphone 5 Wifi Issues
@Martin230799 check NetworkManager is enabled
make sure this file looks like this:phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=true [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=noif ifupdown managed is false, networkmanager is not managing the network interfaces.
in my case it somehow works with it being false but that is most certianly some kind of bug, it should be true.

RE: Hydronium: Proton Mail on Ubuntu Touch
@projectmoon funnely enough we had the same idea hours apart, i stopped development on my end (no need to have two apps for the same thing).
thanks this is huge because now i can have push notifications for my university mail (dekko can't login to my university mail I have it forwarded to my protonmail). -
