@qnx_guy I've only got it to work once but it wasn't a good experience. Honestly, even on other devices and OS, wireless display/miracast isn't a good experience for interactive usage, it's mostly just for consuming media.

RE: UT on F(x)tec Pro1-X
@qnx_guy I can't comment much about mobile related things since I don't have a sim on mine. The UT port for this device is decent. I can't say it's great. It has some quirks and the performance and battery leaves much to be desired. Keyboard works fine though. Backlight even started to work fairly recently. In any case, if your main use is the terminal, Ubuntu Touch in general isn't ideal for traditional Linux desktop use. System is read-only and OTA updates would remove your system changes. If you just need to access other devices from the terminal then it's totally fine.

RE: Slow reboots
I think the reboot issue is a bit common in newer devices. Some won't even boot up again unless you do a hard reboot (long pressing buttons). At least this is what I observed in my various devices.

RE: problem with gles2
I'm not knowledgeable on this topic but I would suggest checking out some apps in the store that might be helpful...at least I guess they could be
- Circle Jump (uses Godot)
- Tux Racer (uses SDL2 specifically built for mirclient)

RE: F(x)tec Pro1-X - HDMI
@qnx_guy Aside from wireless display/miracast, none that I know. I also haven't gotten it to work well on my Pro1-X. Microsoft adapter might better but I don't have one.

RE: F(x)tec Pro1-X - HDMI
@qnx_guy No, the hardware doesn't support it even though it was supposed to

RE: This week in development (week 52 2024)
@Lakotaubp I think a device full of data would also be a good testing since most people will the upgrade that way but considering the early stage of the development, data migration might not have been the focus or tackled yet so I guess a clean install would be ideal for the testers.

RE: Inquiry About Hidden Channels in Ubuntu Touch on Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC
Hidden channels are a lot more likely to break or be broken compared to devel. They're hidden from users because of that. Usually used by devs to test big things such as for example right now the 24.04 Noble images.

RE: How to change Device name?
Speaking of this. Maybe this should be in the settings. I've thought of this a long time ago since the setup wizard has it anyway so there's a code to copy or refer to it anyway. Totally forgot about it though

RE: Status update on the next, Noble-based Ubuntu Touch release, December 2024
Maybe it's worth sending this in the news channel?
Great job BTW and good luck for the remaining work for the Noble release -
RE: Bluetooth cuts out for most keyboard devices on sleep or screen dim -- any known workarounds
Sadly, this is one of the long time quirks with bluetooth on UT especially input devices like keyboard and mouse. I've never found a solution except finding a different model that works better Someone with knowledge and skill has to look into it.

RE: RetroPie setup on UbuntuTouch
@bearbobs You use the tool called clickable. I only rely on that and doesn't really know much about packaging and building stuffs so that's all help I can give
Like I said, someone got Supertux working again so perhaps you can do too. I don't have the repo of it though. -
RE: Please recommend alternative Facebook app for ubuntu touch
@ton-metalhead There's not much you can get. Facebook/Messenger via Waydroid would be the best. Otherwise, you'll be stuck with the web version which works better now than before but very slow in UT, unfortunately.

RE: Lock Screen + Home Screen Different Wallpaper Feature
I'm pretty sure most people would agree with this. It'll be optional anyway. So it's really just a matter of someone implementing it.
And since it's not an essential feature, it might take someone who really wants it -
RE: Brax3 the mysterious
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. -
RE: Incoming Call (Answer|Reject) Changing UI
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 -
RE: [solved using UT Tweak Tool] Use a timer even if the screen is off (in standby mode)
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.

RE: beginner question: qml if else with a switch
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 useStates
.Here's a sample one for the inline:
icon.name: switch.checked ? "tick" : "close"

RE: Launching Libertine Application from an other QML C++ application
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 withlomiri-app-launch-appids
. Libertine appids start with their container id. -
RE: Keyboard Bar from the Terminal in any App?
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
