It is reasonable to be skeptical about this. Fxtec Pro1-X happened and I think only Volla has so far delivered well with UT ports. And as any crowdfunding campaigns, don't expect too much amd expect delays or even problems along the way. Only back if you're willing to fully lose your money. I'm not scaring people, just a fair warning about crowdfunding as backer for a few ones
But let's see how this goes. Hopefully it'll be good. This seems to be not as expensive as most niche products like this.

Yeah, since it's made with the notification bubble, this will be a bit trickier to change. I think there's even an issue where you can swipe away the bubble
Anyway, maybe what we can do is to make another type of notification bubble that shows at the bottom or in fullscreen when displayed in a narrow screen like phones

Disabling app suspension is a last resort and it would make your app unconfined if you toggle the setting in your app itself. If you use media hub, your media should keep on playing even if the app is suspended. Worth checking the music app and other music app in the store. I wouldn't be surprised if there are still some issues related to it though.

Yeah I agree. You don't fully grasp yet how QML works. We all had that time when we are starting especially when coming from non-declarative language You should really try reading a bit even just the basics of it. One key thing is that Javascript is used for logic within QML, ideally only for front end logic but you could also do everything with just QML and JS.

For your example, you can simply add an inline conditional statement for the icon.name property. Or for more advanced use especially if you intend to add more changes, you can use States.

Here's a sample one for the inline:

icon.name: switch.checked ? "tick" : "close"

You can probably use lomiri-app-launch. That's the one used to launch all apps in Lomiri as far as I know. You can list appids with lomiri-app-launch-appids. Libertine appids start with their container id.

What kind of shortcuts do you need? The OSK have some "shortcuts" or actions already, if you're not yet aware, just swipe from the bottom edge or long press the space key

Lomiri's UI is written in QML and you can in fact modify the code directly on your device. So you can do this if you know QML and if you're willing to take the risk and be on your own in case of bugs or worse Lomiri fails to start.
You can also try Lomiri Plus via Ambot Installer in the OpenStore. It has various options for the top bar including the option to make it transparent. However, it includes a lot of modifications so do it at your own risk.

Perhaps they have a snap version? Or maybe they can be packaged as click and run on Wayland
Not sure how much effort that would be though. Someone persevered and got Supertux to work again so maybe with enough will?

@Appointed Oh, I didn't expect a response like this

That's just the reality of things. Nothing is really simple especially for projects like this that isn't from a for-profit organization. There are possible simple ways to deal with display cutouts but they're usually not ideal so it's not exactly simple. Even my Android phone with a punchhole still have wonky issues dealing with it. The hacks available are simple but works. I believe the one being worked on officially, deals with it in a more sophisticated way which apps can interface with.

Also, doing personal hacks is a lot easier than creating a proper solution that needs proper testing and cleaner code and integration to the system.

Sadly, the official support hasn't landed yet but there are indeed a few solutions circling around. I've personally haven't tried the notch hack but it's the most common and used one. Perhaps you can try that first. Then I have my own solution which you can try with the app Ambot Installer from the OpenStore. Look for Lomiri Plus Essentials there. It has configuration for rounded corners and display cutouts (notch/punchhole). Note though that any of this solution has some risk. They've been tested but since they modify some system files, there's still a chance of something going wrong. If that case happen, you can just reflash with the Installer and disable wipe data so you retain all your data. Anyway, just know that there's risk with any unofficial solutions.

Oh okay.
Personally, I don't use cryptocurrency but I don't mind them, I think they're fine. However, I feel like this won't have a good reception given the general "reputation" of it

As an app dev and a user, I wouldn't mind this although obviously it's a very complicated thing to do. There's just so many things involved and not just technical but also legal matters. At the end of the day, the app devs can choose if they want to make their apps paid or free. Personally, what I did back in the Canonical/Ubuntu store days, was to publish a paid version and a free one. The paid version gets newer versions earlier which I realized is stupid because they're basically paying me to be my beta testers and risk their data

Anyway, my concern right now is what's in the poc app? I'm not accusing anyone but we are mostly people who met in the internet and what if people who tries the poc actually input their payment details? How secure is the site and what does it actually do? Sorry if this was a stupid concern. It's just the first thing that came to mind

@AppLee Yeah something weird about it. It has focal tag but doesn't show with the focal filter. Also the release channels only list xenial ones.

@AppLee Actually Xperia X has focal so there's a high chance it'll get Noble unless there's a new kernel requirement aside from systemd's.

Telegram preference wasn't really a choice by the community. It's mainly because Canonical amd Telegram had some kind of a partnership and there has been a native Telegram app for Ubuntu Touch right from the start. We even have push notifications working until now.

Moving to Matrix is ideal but that would mean a need for a good native app and an intentional push and effort.

If the channel shows Stable then it must be available for that device.
Just to make sure. Changing channel means selecting the channel from the list then installing the update that appears in the Update page. It should be around 500MB.

@jojumaxx I'm not sure why you think the focus is lost. What made you think that? What do you think devs are focusing right now that you think isn't worth it?

The browser issue is a valid and indeed concerning one. But it's not an easy thing to solve. That's why there's an experiment with another web engine. But it's not simple to do quickly. I really hope we find a solution for this sooner than later. UT alralready relies on web on many things and many sites are starting to not work well.

Ubuntu Touch has a lot of technical debts and dealing with them needs tons of time and effort. But we are progressing on that front. We have wayland support now. Not perfect but it's there. We're now catching up to the latest Ubuntu LTS instead of being years behind. So it's a lot of progress. I understand your sentiment and it is totally fine to move on from UT. I'm just not sure I understand your reasoning since many of your issues has been there from the beginning.

I personally have an Android phone for all the things UT can't do or do well. I still use UT for most things though.

Sony even has an open device initiative and yet we barely a Sony device supported. I think major factor is that the device has to in people's hands who are willing to put the effort and time to develop the port. It's very hard to do so on expensive devices and as already mentioned, newer Android versions aren't feasible yet without a bigger effort.

We need proper Wayland support for Libertine apps so we can maybe use Firefox
