RE: Remove uninstalled Apps from WayDroid helper and from Drawer

RE: w: failure to run:chroot
@suchy I have the same issue on my Redmi Note 9 Pro as well. Before on OTA-23 Libertine was working without problems, then I reinstalled UT and updated to OTA-24 and I wasn't able to create container since. Maybe it has something to do with latest update or I don't know what could be causing this problem.

RE: [Newbie] Help removing extra Waydroid icons
@blank Hi, yes you can hide these icons. Did you install Waydroid using Waydroid helper app from OpenStore? If yes, then there is an option Show/Hide apps to remove apps from menu. Just swipe right on the app you want to remove and click on bin icon, then when you drag down in app menu it will refresh itself and the icons should be deleted. If this doesn't work you can delete icons from folder
/home/phablet/.local/share/applications
, where you will find entries for apps in the app menu. Delete corresponding file from here, but be careful what you delete as here are also system apps entries for the app menu. (Sometimes it is harder to find the right file as they have longer names then it is showing in the app menu) -
RE: Pin code removal of 4 digits limitation
Option to disable visibility of dots or one big dot looks great, also I would add an option to enable/disable auto unlock (without pressing OK button), I personally prefer when phone unlocks right after entering correct PIN without additional key press, because it seems more intuitive.

RE: Waydroid issue
@th0mas Take a look at this thread: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8352/ota-24-upgrade-and-waydroid/14 , near the end is a solution for fixing infinite loading of Waydroid due to wrong Lineage OS version installed into UT. I hope it helps.

RE: OTA-24 upgrade and Waydroid
@zubozrout Same here, I tried Waydroid on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro and is stuck at loading screen as well, though on OTA-23 it was running without problems. Didn't try to launch it from command line, but guess that the outcome of that will be the same as yours.

RE: OTG not working
Update: OTG is working after holding power button until phone reboots(thanks for the tip @nitanmarcel). Keyboard and mouse works without problems, but only FAT32 drives are automatically mounted, exFAT drives need to be mounted via the terminal, but there is no write permissions for them.

RE: OTG not working
@lakotaubp Thanks, submitted an issue, will see if there are more people with similar problem

RE: OTA-24 upgrade and Waydroid
@talkless Yes, you should remove Waydroid before updating to OTA-24, because it can break the update as Waydroid modifies rootfs during instalation (happened to me back when updating to OTA-23 and I forgot to remove Waydroid).

OTG not working
Since updating to OTA-24 for some reason OTG on Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro stopped working. It doesn't matter if I plug USB drive or external keyboard and mouse. Before on OTA-23 it was working fine, I could use mouse and access USB drives without problems. Does anyone experience similar issue?

RE: App grouping
@josele13 said in App grouping:
I think Waydroid apps should be in Waydroid, not put android apps launchers in the UT launcher
I agree with you, or there should be an option when installing Waydroid for not adding Waydroid apps into UT launcher.
@emphrath said in App grouping:
Add to this the relics of Waydroid uninstalled apps and you're in for a burning hell of scrolling everytime you want to do sth slightly unusual
You can manually delete uninstalled (or currently installed) apps from launcher by finding its .desktop files in
/home/phablet/.local/share/applications
, though some app come back into launcher at next launch of Waydroid for some reason. -
RE: Install Ut on Xiaomi Note 9 pro
@madas My bad, I thought Android 9 was base for this port, but it is version 10. So ROM version is correct then, because this port is based on Halium 10.

RE: Install Ut on Xiaomi Note 9 pro
@madas Yes you need to create Xiaomi account to be able to unlock phone's bootloader. What 155 hours long process means, is that it is some security measure from Xiaomi, if I understand it right. When you try to unlock bootloader for the first time it fails and tells you to wait 155 hours (1 week) and after that time you should be able to unlock bootloader without problems.
As for point number 3: Phone must be running Android 10, for system partitions to be in correct place for UT installer to work, otherwise you could end up bricking the phone. So if you are on version 11 you need to downgrade, there should be links to Android 10 ROMs somewhere in this thread.
For example I used this ROM:
Redmi Note 9 Pro Global EEA
Stable
Fastboot
V12.0.1.0.QJZEUXM
Android 10.0
4.3 GB
2020-11-10
Download https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/joyeuse/stable/V12.0.1.0.QJZEUXM/
Point 4: You must downgrade if phone is running version 11 or newer.
If there is something else I missed from your post just ask.EDIT: Phone must be running Android 10 to be able to install UT.

RE: Proper way to mount sd card on Redmi Note 9 Pro
@nitanmarcel Looks not that difficult, I have to remember to get it the way it was before the OTA update. Do you have any information when it will be released?
-
RE: Proper way to mount sd card on Redmi Note 9 Pro
@nitanmarcel Thanks, will try that, I was also thinking that maybe adding sd card into fstab file could help, but on the other side I am not sure if that would give me write permissions or it would be the same as if mounting it manually.

RE: Proper way to mount sd card on Redmi Note 9 Pro
Update: When sd card is inserted into USB card reader and formatted in UT and then put back into phone it is recognized without problem and can be accessed and written to. But after reboot it isn't mounted nor recognized when inserted into phone.

Proper way to mount sd card on Redmi Note 9 Pro
When the sd card is inserted into phone, it isn't recognized automatically, after mounting it to folder which owner is phablet it isn't possible to change ownership from root back to phablet.
Before the mount:
I mounted the sd card withsudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 ~/sd
and can access files without problems, but doesn't have write privileges.
After the mount:
When using:sudo chown phablet sd sudo chmod 777 sd
Output from chown command:
Nothing happens and folder stays as root with only read privileges.
Is there a way to mount sd card so that it also shows in app External drives and can be accessed without problems for reading and writing? Thanks for all suggestions, I tried many approaches for this and wasn't able to success. -
RE: Install Ut on Xiaomi Note 9 pro
@josele13 No, I meant connecting to hotspot running on laptop. Phone sees lots of networks, but not mine wifi network.

RE: Install Ut on Xiaomi Note 9 pro
@josele13 Yes, I did as it was suggested to me, Waydroid now works, but for some reason the phone is unable to find my hotspot from laptop, though I had used it without problems before. Could be the problem that there are quite a lot of other wifi networks around? I finds lots of them, but not mine.

RE: Install Ut on Xiaomi Note 9 pro
@nitanmarcel So the automatic reboot triggered by its installation is not enough?
