Happy new year to all and long live ubports !!

@rocket2nfinity oh man i'd love this to happen but it most probably won't. Even getting a swype keyboard to run on an open source version of android (lineageos and so on) is close to impossible since Swype has been discontinued and using gboard implies copying proprietary libraries from gapps which generally results in an unstable mess if anything... So to think it could be "ported" seems unrealistic. There might be a need for an open source new swype keyboard but I don't see this happening in the near future.

It seems from another thread that a messaging app available on the open store actually does nothing, fully broken. I had the same experience recently with Htop clickable - 0 ko app, yet installs, yet does nothing. Maybe here we could start listing these ?

Yeah obviously the FP2 has a lot of problems of its own, that are definitely not specific to UT, and be not mistaken, I had a great experience with this OS and am not reverting to Android; it's just that pooky asked about the FP2, and here is its current state of porting ^^

@prog-amateur for m3u just install vlc in a libertine container and ur good to go. for security issues, there's an open topic about that which covers how apps are surveyed

I just noticed this nice microphone icon next to the text field in the SMS app. So I tried to record something and send it, to no avail. I press the button, speak, let go of the button, and then... Nothing. What am I missing ? Cheers.

@aclifton314 very interested by the third question since everytime I tried I ended up reinstalling the whole system

@Opolork that's exactly it. First enable developer mode in ut tweak tool. Then plug in the cable and run "adb shell" in a terminal. You'll then be running a shell in the device, from where you can freely browse (might require sudo for some folders) that's it. To copy / paste files from device to computer, use adb push or pull - depends.

@arubislander or through adb shell, which is easier

@jezek hey there ! I own a fp2 and it definitely played videos of any kind when it ran ubports (16.04 ota11 stable. It must be a hardware problem or, indeed, an installation issue. Try using wipe option. It could also be a new bug. Presently I can't tell since because I can't use the flashlight of the new camera module (known issue), it runs android (until I find myself an old 6 MP module ^^). I'll let you know

Be patient. For me, first fix after a reboot sometimes take one solid hour. After that it's fine. Actually what I do is everytime the phone reboots for some reason, I first search my location in Pure maps and wait for the fix, so that when I really need navigation it starts fast

@AppLee alright !

@AppLee Nice. thx

@AppLee maybe I could try in a rapsbian container, rather than xenial ?

As it happens magic-wormhole has an arm version available, since it's been developped for rapsberry pi: http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/m/magic-wormhole/
here are the various deb packages. I tried to install one of them through libertine and it doesn't work. I'll try again though

just a quick note here for those who are stuck with anbox icons after uninstalling it: apt purge anbox-ubuntu-touch followed by apt autoremove effectively removes them. Side question: is deleting the writable cache in home enough to delete the bind to /var/cache/archives ? And does the system goes back to read only after a reboot ? thanks to all.

@Fla yep i've been following @peat_psuwit work closely and such dedication is amazing. But I can wait for sth integrated in stable. same reason i don't install anbox yet. huge thanks nonetheless

@kugiigi nope.

@kugiigi well in android you have access to everything - visually- and then to click on sth. your credentials are asked. for ut, locking and unlocking doesn't change anything.

@kugiigi that's very likely; but is there a way to log in when it happens ? I receive most of my calls when the phone is in my pocket, locked...
