Fairphone 5 is indeed snappy. It also has the most usable camera on UT I've ever used in terms of both image quality and responsiveness.

@No-iOS-Android It's still probably coming but I would guess the enthusiasm isn't high because it lacks the wired display out feature which isn't essential but makes older Fairphone models great targets for UT as a user and as a developer.

As long as it works and open source, who cares?

I don't think UT needs to do anything about it especially right away. It's not a worldwide thing anyway. In my opinion, there's no need to worry about it.

In my opinion all bottom (or most) gestures should be optional, meaning their functions should be accessible elsewhere, ideally in the standard or common way like header button.
So basically, gestures are like shortcuts. In this context, we can have a gesture that would be "standard" or consistent across apps.

AI is not a good source of information especially about niche things

@DenMoore Isn't FuriOS use like Debian + Phosh?
But yeah, Halium exists so we can have usable alternative OSes without having to go through the rigorous process of mainlining every device. Mainline is much better but not realistic to get something usable immediately.

@developerbayman I only know Droidian and UT. I don't know any other projects that use Halium and has actual daily driver users.

postmarketOS has always been about mainlining mobile devices so it's not that.

Everytime there's a new release (OTA update), there's a post here and a blog that lists notable changes and improvements. You can also check merge requests in the Gitlab repos if you want to get more real time changes.

@grenudi Which projects ditch halium?

@developerbayman You can check the postmarketOS project to see how realistic it would be for UT to ditch halium.

@developerbayman That's already possible on mainline devices but it's not trivial on devices without mainline which is most of the devices. And even if they do, many things don't work.

Not sure what your realistic expectation on this

While waiting for the official solution, you can try installing Lomiri Plus Essentials via Ambot Installer from the OpenStore

This is cool. Not sure though if gamepad input now works properly in UT but the touchscreen controls would suffice

@Kadafi Do you know what kind of connection it uses? In my experience, BT3 and BT5 works better while BT4/BLE works quite bad.

@haagch There's a separate back button but I guess the mouse back button is better supported in desktop apps.
And yes, it's currently not working in UT.

@projectmoon There's a setting for that inside Ambot however it only works in unconfined apps.
Not though that there apps that use the affected components in unusual ways so the hint may show in weird places e.g. Music app, the hint shows above the currently playing bar

In regards to the global back action, we can implement it in the toolkit, you just have the back button trigger with the back button but we can't really enfore it everywhere else so it will be kind of pointless if it only works in certain apps

Do you have any other device you can test your device? Adapters and hubs that works on laptops, gaming handhelds, other phones should work on the Fairphone 5.
Can you reflash Android and test there? It might be a hardware issue.
