@projectmoon I only know heliboard, but that requires you to download a proprietary file for swype to work. The implementation itself is opensource, but not that file. But thanks for the suggestions. Something to look into for sure.

Here some thoughts on my priorities:

1. Core features

• mobile data on sim2, although I think there is a PR already, so hopefully almost sorted
• apps not properly accessing apparmor, like camera app on my OP5T, but other devices have that too, app logs have apparmor error entries and as developer I am never sure if they are important or kind of "normal" and can be ignored

2. stoppers for using UT:

• Encryption. I know several users who don't use UT or stopped because of that. Makes you feel bad to know "everyone" can grab all data off your device in case you loose it.
• rounded corner/notch as has been mentioned, but that really restricts usage, we do rely on our indicators and they are great, but can't use them properly on affected devices (would simply limiting screen size be a workaround?)
• VoLTE, because a phone needs to be able to do calls, during the next few years even here in Europe we will need this
• keeping dekko updated or replacing it, email is a critical feature for most
• improvements in Teleports and matrix and signal apps, likely the most used apps on smartphones are messengers
• call/video call options in browser and messengers

3. daily use

• camera app (no crashes, device specific but happens on several devices), more features e.g. for white balance, multicamera support, panorama mode
• Morph has been named, work is going on there, so I am confident this is solved soon
• system side backup feature as has been named, I think for many this would make things simpler, not everyone can setup a nextcloud or syncthing services easily
• vpn integration for several protocols, because we often would like to connect to open wifi's but I would feel more save with vpn there, and some users depend on vpn in their countries

4. nice to have

• swype feature in OSK, but only possible with proprietary code, even on LOS, so likely hard to achive
• faster GPS for me is only added here, I rarely use it and mostly are then fine to wait a bit for initial fix
• app grouping in the drawer, maybe even favourites and rarely used sections would be helpful for me
• bluetooth comes here in my usage, I never use that, but agree it would be "not bad" and other depend on it, like when driving

5. polishing
I am not going to add a long list here. We all know there is plenty to do all the time everywhere if it comes to finishing touches.

For developers:

1. Ratchanan, because so much code for the OS wouldn't exist without him
2. Lionel for his work on calendar app, dialer and messages

For apps:

1. Teleports, what would we do without it?
2. OpenStore, again we would be nothing witout it

@domubpkm I guess, the osk option does keep formatting. tedit option inserts text only.

@domubpkm You can already choose a note area background color in tedit settings. If you have black/white, it picks that depending on your system color scheme.

Actually, just saw, the osk pasted text have a "wrong" text color, so here it came up as black text on black background. Might be that?

@domubpkm I tried a pdf with PdfJS and I can copy&paste content into tedit app. But I do know, some pdf obscure the content and permit copy&paste. Have you tried copying from this pdf on a computer?

Also how did you paste into tedit? I found out, that pasting via the toolbar button does work, but using the osk paste function seems not to work.

Hacking my way through it... ;-).

If you wish to use dark mode, close the app and edit this file:
~/.config/signalut.pparent/Signal/ephemeral.json
You can do that with seabass2 for instance.
Or use terminal with nano ~/.config/signalut.pparent/Signal/ephemeral.json. (no sudo needed)

Replace "theme-setting": "system", with "theme-setting": "dark",, save changes and start the app.

@pparent I am fine with that. I am actually quite impressed with everything that does work. The app is good and usable.

Very good! I am not a good forum user, maybe partly because I don't want to use morph for that. Now I have no excuse any more.

Working fine on my OP5T.

Ah, for search we need to go back to the chat list page.

So press search in a chat, the go back to chat list page. Then the chat is selected as search filter. When entering a string now, the search is performed within that chat.

Joining in to report my findings. The app is working quite well on my OP5T. I can't use the very top menu entries (Files, Edit, View, ...). But most other things seem to work fine so far. I don't need to lock/unlock to send, just as described above the action with the small arrow is needed.

I could receive a call, but only one way voice and no video. Calling out didn't work, after a while the other end got a timeout message, but it didn't ring there. Only on my phone it was ringing. Not sure if that is already supposed to work better. Just pointing that out.

The search doesn't seem to work in chats, it works in chat list. Reactions work, reply works. So all in all not bad at all. Thanks a lot for your work.

@vverve This number is the daily build for your specific device. All devices have their own number, since some changes may only affect one or few devices, but not all. So one device may get a build, others not. Some core changes may affect all devices, so all get a new build.

With a couple of hundred repositories its surely hard to track changes, but for tracking changes I am looking at merged MR's: https://gitlab.com/groups/ubports/development/core/-/merge_requests?scope=all&state=merged

@ma Glad it worked so far. But might be worth giving information about that behaviour and the error message to the porter(s) of your device. Sometjing may need fixing.

@ma so if you saw the unlock screen, it kind did install. But obviously something went wrong. I haven't heard of such a case before.

I suggest using the installer and reinstall. Do NOT tick wipe, that will keep all your data.

@kugiigi I posted some messages in our main groups. Not sure if an official announcment will be made

@Moem True. I found it can take several minutes on logo screen. So give it ten minutes.

@ma You could try installing via the installer.

On my OP5T battery drain is quite bad with noble 24.04-1.x RC2. From some ps aux checks, looks like one process is running at over 100%, so consuming more than one core constantly:
/usr/libexec/mediascanner-2.0/mediascanner-extractor

This is almost 4 hours after the last reboot. I do have around 5100 photos, a bit over 330 videos and about 300 songs.

Hi, just want to let you know, that I managed to make the newer Cinny version to work with our old morph Webengine. This took downgrading of matrix-dsk and some patching. The RC for Cinny UT based on Cinny 4.10.0 can be downloaded here https://github.com/Danfro/cinny-ut/releases.
I made releases for focal (.1RC) and for noble (.nRC).

Here it seems to work fine, please let me know if you hit any new issues. I know, we still have plenty of old issues.
