now i can get back to deving(i think) ....i had a idea for the emulator its needs tons of mapper support ...so instead of running down all the hundreds of mapper code ....it hit me ...i live in the future .....im going to develop a sort of on the fly mapper interpreter engine for total mapper support ....i think ....thats the idea anyway ....a "just in time mapper" ....a "JIM" so to speak!

Hello my name is jeremy aka developerbayman im a web/android/python developer and im excited to get started developing native apps for UBT im glad to finally be able to participate took me awhile to get a device that can run UBT and i cant wait to meet new people and collaborate on this (oops i just realized where i posted this mods please move to appropriate place)

i joined this community the day after my mom died ... not only did i get alot of love and support and a great distraction ....at the end of the day this is a great community! .... thank you!

now i ended up leaving ubuntu touch because it wasnt what i was looking for in a mobile operating system ...and thats ok

.....not only do i owe thanks for the emotional support but also thanks for the inspiration .... the things i dont like about UT lit a fire under me and eventually gave birth to "pylinux" .....while built on top of linux the total user software stack is all python applications (lol growing pains) eventually the total goal is to eventually port everything to python ....time will tell

after i post this im going to switch over to my pi then i can post picture of pylinux in action (sort of still a work in progress) .....but i would love to talk about it .....when designing most of the tools for pylinux ubuntu touch was in the back of my mind

@emphrath nice!

@kugiigi lol true i could ....but i wont....for some reason im totally obsessed with UT (prob all the years i wanted a UT device)

....basically i look at it like this ....this is the platform i have chosen so what i will do is go long term once i master the dev cycle (like i did with android) i will just create the functionality i want

see part of the fun also is the feed back

Also i have to point out ...why even have libertine if not for power users?(i mean yeah i know its usefull for general use)

Its so close to being every devs nerd dream power pocket pc phone

~according to my beliefs i must remain a broken record on this ....even tho it might not have any real world effect lol

@Moem thanks man i appriciate that .....also as much as i might complain .....the UT community is filled with such wonderful people as yourself .....i cant walk away from that

You are correct i got rootfs rw all i fid was try again i guess it just took the 37th try .....whole thing makes no sense but it works

Also im able to run clickable from the command line

pretty self explanatory we need something like rom kitchen

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kitchen-android-kitchen-v0-224-linux-mac-windows.633246/

more devices=more people=more development=less load on existing developers=a better operating system

the .xapk contains the obb files ...so the extaction should contain the apk and obb you will need to place in the android obb folder manually

@TandyNeoma basically some of xaiomi redmi note 9 pro android 10 roms feature broken sensors took awhile but foumd one that works again

here you dont even need to download them anymore you can play them in your browser .....im actually starting to reconsider my holding back stance only by space considerations ....i mean really ...this is my morty... https://playclassic.games/games/nes-games/

you know that episode of rick and morty ....when rick showed morty "true level" and morty had a little break down .....thats me over this topic ....both rick and morty... https://share.google/PopMa1C049aVtyLJl

i mean 30 second google search limited by the time to speedily make the search copy and paste then switch back here type this press enter .....now you gotta wade through forever getting all the roms you want which is annoying and repetitive ....https://romsfun.com/roms/

@alaskalinuxuser by all means hijack away ....as far as all the roms ....those are ALL the nes roms available i think ....um your prob right about all the legal stuff ...my reasoning is this you cant buy these games anymore ...yeah they exist but not really ...not in any logical sense past a google search i dont know a single person that copies "their own roms" .....while im all about legal purchases and upholding copyright law .....you cannot buy them anymore ....now i wouldnt do it for anything past nes for this type of project because the roms are just so small but say for example snes i got like i forget 2 gigs worth of roms? .....but even then now we are reaching the territory of commercially viable still in play games ....or remakes whatever ok i wont .......but with some old nintendo games on a shitty hobby emulator with a niche group of people in a scheme that generates zero $$$ ......its just convenient at this point ....also maybe its the neurotic aspurgers ....always having to plug in my drive unzip my files copy them over and then load and configure ......vs a drop down 36.3 megabytes of nes roms .....or am i just being a drama queen?

@alaskalinuxuser well to be honest i dont really remember i took some demo off somewhere and add a ton of mapper support as well as massive improvements to the apu and a million other improvements ...so now its kinda its own thing it no longer resembles what it started as even a little bit like 90% change

@gpatel-fr after thinking about it i think i would side with the others .....im talking about the equivalent of including the bootloader in any linux or windows install ....currently you must bring your own bootloader .....very not typical also all source code is verifiable ...i do think your concerns are unjustified ....however they are valid concerns

@Voorstad i plan on three in one actually im developing a custom firmware will feature meshnet but also have compatibility with meshtastic and meshcore protocols as well ...the goal when im done in a brand new esp32 s3 /p4 firmware thats is the most advanced and feature complete ....however im hitting alot of bumps in the road ....and money! ...each prototype modem estimated cost will be around $520 ....once i bang out a prototype i wanna raise money to mass produce sbc's for it hopefully bring the cost down to $100 per modem .......i currently work at burger king ...so this is a financial nightmare moving at a snails pace ..unfortunately ...but yeah will be apps within the firmware

im thinking this should be a device porter solution we should make it so people dont need to downgrade whatever device ported should simply have the base android files needed for that device and ubuntu touch should just be flashed once ....eliminating this annoying step

i found the default method of knowing you have the wrong version for me ....screen rotation does not work first thing i check

also ensure you have the correct version for your region
