@domubpkm I recently installed SFOS 3 but I think it's not the latest version available. It's easier to install because it's done via TWRP.

Possible - yes, officially supported - no
I think OPO has MultiROM support, if you know how to modify an APK, you can change the server to UBports instead of the old Canonical server.

It's been working good on my Nexus 5. I currently have Android, SailfishOS and 3 UTs
But of course, do it at your own risk!

The home button also works on MX4 although I honestly would like to disable it if I can because it can be a conflict with bottom gestures.

In general though, I think home buttons are fine to be enabled but back buttons and recent/menu are kinda doesn't make sense since we don't really have direct equivalent for those and it they will definitely be a distraction in the UT experience

I'm a bit lazy to really read everything in this thread but in my experience, it's always better to install stock android first (I used Nexus Root Toolkit on mine) and then running the UBports installer.
And if you don't mind losing your data, then selecting Wipe might also help

@thilov Isn't it the purpose of alarms? to shock you while asleep
Well, I think this a valid use case so as mentioned, please feel free to log an issue in the repo.

Awesome! RSS Reader is one of the things I really used in scopes and now that it'll be removed soon, I was looking for an RSS reader. Sadly most I tried are not working so I'm happy I found something working. Good job! Keep it up!

@Opolork Hi, a bit off-topic but have you tried Telegram or are you already there?
Because I've seen you having many posts here lately that I think you can also get answers in Telegram and might even be faster. Not that it's bad, I actually like your enthusiasm

Well, if you prefer the forum, then its fine and ignore me

Well they do use memory/RAM but by default, they are suspended when in the background which is why standby battery life of UT is great. You can change this behavior per app in UTTT though. Also, apps in the background might be killed at any point when the system runs out of of memory and needs to allocate more on the current app or process.

@ernest So you mean this script will run even when the screen is locked and closed?
If yes, then this is really cool and I would definitely try it.
It would be cool if it works with some kinda of a UI so you can still check from time to time your location in the map

@3arn0wl It will never be intended for daily use because there are things that lands on it that can break it.
But to be fair, it's better and stable than ever before. I think the biggest user-facing issues were already fixed.
You can try it out and use it for some days. Just don't update to avoid breakage. It's really easy to go back to stable. You don't even have to use a PC

It'll also help you prepare for losing scopes and having the app drawer

@Opolork There's no swipe keyboards in UT yet. And it if ever someone implements it, it might conflict with the drag down gesture to close the OSK so that will be something to fix when that happens. I see a lot of demands for it so hopefully someone can bring it to UT. I'm not a swipe keyboard user though so it's not something I'd be excited to have

I can still see the ubuntu logo

@Nighthawk I guess you can install ubuntu on it and install Unity 8.

@Lakotaubp I haven't receive such email yet on my 3 google accounts
Perhaps it's because I'm now using app password instead of enabling less secured apps.

@thepeter Yup it works. I believe bluetooth supports up to 7 devices at the same time. Not sure about the latest versions
Been using that setup for a long time with my Nexus 7 and 5. Slimport + BT Keyboard + BT Mouse + sometimes BT earphone.

Beware with some advanced BT mouse though especially those with extra buttons like in Logitech. They might be detected as keyboard as well so OSK will be hidden even without connecting a real keyboard. And there's a current bug that even after disconnecting it, the device won't detect it so OSK will still be hidden. In the edge channel, this can be worked around by enabling the new setting to show OSK even with a physical keyboard present.

@kwah Hello I am the one responsible of that specific implementation
I'll just leave a comment in the issue in Gitlab. Basically, the issue happens because I wasn't able to identify a reliable and accurate way of getting the default scaling value of each device. So a workaround was to get it on the first time you go the scaling page open the app and save it in the app's config or local data. I'm guessing you perhaps went to it initially with 13 as the setting or maybe you cleared UTTT's app/config data.

Anyone who has a spare device can try out the experiments I've been doing in the OSK.

Here are the repos for both edge and normal channels.

1. devel/rc/stable
2. edge

You may build them yourselves using crossbuilder or use the ready-built deb files I've also uploaded.

1. devel/rc/stable
2. edge

Instructions

1. Make your root temporarily writable using UT Tweak Tool System >> Make image writable
2. Download the deb files
3. Copy them to a directory in your UT device.
4. Execute the following commands
   • cd <directory with deb files>
   • sudo dpkg -i *.deb
   • pkill maliit

Features:

• PR#78
• Bottom Gestures
  • Open cursor mover mode
  • Switch between languages/layouts
• Modified loading of languages/layouts (would most likely causes bugs and performance issues )

You can also just try out the bottom bar without the other stuffs.

1. Make your root temporarily writable using UT Tweak Tool System >> Make image writable
2. Download the modified Keyboard.qml
3. Copy it to your UT device.
4. Execute the following commands
   • sudo cp /usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/ubuntu/Keyboard.qml /usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/ubuntu/Keyboard_ORIG.qml
   • sudo cp <directory of modified Keyboard.qml>/Keyboard.qml /usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/ubuntu/
   • pkill maliit

NOTE: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THESE ARE HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL CODES AND HASN'T BEEN TESTED THOROUGHLY SO EXPECT BUGS!

To revert back, you may need to reflash or restore using the backed-up Keyboard.qml file.

Please let me know of any feedback/comments.

To be fair, I like the progress in making gnome apps adaptive/convergent. Hopefully, someday UT will benefit from them

@Teigneux I think that happened to me before but maybe just once or twice?
My guess is that it happens when you change the path of the music files in it.

@malditobastardo I honestly don't check on existing features on other OS so that I base my implementations on how UT is and how I think it can be improved without being influenced by other implementations

But that actually looks good and easy to use however, it might be very tricky to implement because it will conflict with existing gestures/inputs.

Can you explain exactly how it works? Any horizontal swipe moves the cursor? then a swipe from edge will select text?
How do you do vertical movements? I'm interested to try it out actually
