LOL That´s Blokus, a very different game from Tetris...

@Ranjith We dont know yet, we do not have enough people to work on this at the moment, sorry.

@sander-klootwijk @alan_g, if you guys plan a meetup, lemme know! Also if any of you happen to be passing by the "Randstad"

I discussed with Jonatan a few weeks ago, and he told me he started to work on porting an app that existed from android to ubports : https://github.com/jonnius/camera-scanner He said that there wasn't a GUI yet, I proposed to try to work for one, but unfortunately, I couldn't spend as much time as I would have wanted to.

@flohack thnks [edit] Update worked flawlessly. I had to change usb-port, because fastboot gave a message: waiting for any device... Changing usb-port worked. My experience so far: no significant improvement. phone still reboots if typing a text takes a while (half an hour) in browser, signal, sms, etc. after a while if to many apps are used simultaneously. Also, sometimes (a couple of times in a month) I find my phone rebooted in the morning. Don't know if this is FP2-behaviour. Now, I used the update package as given by @flohack. @Ingo said above that "The most recent real change was included in the April 2018 update." So I expect no improvement from using another more current update package.

@flohack said in [HowTo][Convergence]Use a simulated miracast sink for testing convergence: @doniks Miracast is per definition not possible over "normal" WiFi, thats why most people had only success with the Microsoft Miracast stick. That seems to be still the most compatible one... BR FYI, a miracast presentation. Some of it went over my head, but might have some helpful technical details https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53v11JTf4U8

@nutzernam thank you for confirming it.

Might of been that big video clip my mate sent me lol

@nutzernam You just fixed a permission problem for the MTP driver which mounts the storage to the USB host - it will be repaired in 16.04 also...

@flohack said in Samsung porting notes, a loose collection: Instead, the device needs to be brought into "Download Mode". This can be achieved by: Manually by pressing Vol-Down, Home and Power button until the green warning text appears On my Samsung Galaxy S8, there is no physical home button, only virtual on the display. I figured out, instead of the Home-Button, I need to press the Bixby button, below Vol-Down, then the green warning text appears...

@domubpkm Yes currently you need to do all firmware updates manually. BR

I am with lioneldb. I would like to see Xenial come to reasonably priced phones. I noted on Telegram that I can get a Meizu Pro 5 for about £195 on eBay but a comparably-spec'd HTC 10 would set me back over £400 which is out of my budget for the time being. Would be nice therefore to get a clear idea of what Halium devices with Xenial have over non-Halium devices with Xenial. I may get a Halium device in several years after I get a better job and have had a good time with an MP5 for a few years, so there's that. I also raised the question on Telegram last night: "Not to in any way sound greedy, but have you guys discussed the possibility of offering "techy" rewards on Patreon? Stickers and T-shirts are great, but this could be even better. As for what those could entail, I'm not sure, just thought about it in the last couple of minutes. Early beta tests for bleeding-edge new apps maybe?" I'd also add to that, maybe some kind of hardware tech too? Micro USB hubs and a micro HDMI cable/other monitor interfaces for a convergence device? Some other kit? I know the user can buy these things themselves, but it's just an idea and wondering what you guys think about it.

Works like a charm now

on it (from scratch - be patient with me plz )

@UKPhil Yes I reloaded in between. Runtim on E5 is for me approx 2 days or 1.5 days

@Math Hello, we did not yet commit anything to the stable updates. Probably it will be done with a configuration option, but not decided yet. BR

@DanChapman OK, issue reported here

This is nice of course, but is there also work being done on fixing bugs? Like the crashes after using secret chats.

@Flohack I'm not a DB guy, but there is the Drupal project which provides an API for DB abstraction. I don't know how suitable that would be in this situation, but you could have a quick look at it to see it it seems to be something along the lines you're thinking.
