@Vlad-Nirky thanks for the info, then it may be my mobile provider which causes the issue.

@jagdtigger do you have VoLTE enabled? For me, it somehow affects VPN connections and I need to disable it for VPN to work.

@MrClayPole At least for me, all three displays connected to my dock can show a cloned desktop. At least when I boot with already connected dock. But dedicated deskops on multiple monitors are not possible.

I got the best experience, with only one display connected to the dock.

@evilgenius

do you have a waydroid app-icon in the apps-drawer?
You should try to start waydroid using that app.

To make sure, everything is set up correctly before starting the app, execute in the terminal:

sudo systemctl restart waydroid-container.service

Maybe have a look, if container was startet successfully:

sudo systemctl status waydroid-container.service

Then launch the app.

@evilgenius waydroid is installed by default.

Try to reinstall UT using the installer, then avoid the apt commands and try again with waydroid helper.

@Opolork The FP5 is way more faster.
In general the FP3 is slow, also compared to other older devices like OP5/T.

With FP5 it is a lot more fun to use waydroid for example.

The camera is much better especially, in lowlight situatuions, though you cannot make use of the higher resolution or second camera.

You can connect the FP5 to an external display or dockingstation using usb-c.

@ola Je

The recovery is still based on Halium 9, thats why you see that. The system is based on Halium 10. So you don't need to bother and you can just continue to install.

This issue is already reported and fixed, buy not released yet:

@peat_psuwit regarding FP5 and fingerprint:

For me fingerprint works in general.
I thought that maybe related to allowing fingerprint on first android boot (but not setting it up).

But I got that jumping password prompt sometimes when I need to input password for decrypting the encrypted home-directory after rebooting Ubuntu Touch.
A second reboot is fixing it most of the time.
After that, fingerprint works to unlock.

Just for reference.

@Grisen did you check the box to wipe the data partition in the installer?

@musicologist you can also try MirVNCServer App, connect with vnc client from PC and record it there. But I am not sure about audio...

@JPC So, I could solve my latest connection issues by doing a waydroid init -f.

@Kutzi its nothing to worry about, if not all mounts work in recovery, but the relevant (userdata) should be mounted still.

Now just have a look at /data/backups ls -la /data/backups

@JPC lately I've had the same issue. I found that there was set a private DNS in network settings. Unsetting it and resetting the network-connection fixed it for the moment.
But now I have the issue again and there is no other DNS set, so... no idea.

@fair the FP4 does not seem to use the ofono binder plugin yet... Maybe thats the reason.
It also enables voLTE.

@peat_psuwit they get written to /userdata/backups.

@peat_psuwit maybe it should be mentioned somewhere, that there is a backup-job running, the first time, when "migrating" into 24.04.

1. It's a nice feature
2. It may slow down the UI on older devices (e.g. FP3, not sure how it feels on more performant devices) while running.
3. When switching between 20.04 and 24.04 back and forth (for testing), you may run into storage-issues, because every first time 24.04 is booted, it creates a new backup.

@Kutzi everytime, when you switch from 20.04 to 24.04, after booting, the system creates a backup of your user-config-data.
That's also the reason, why the system feels a bit more slow, directly after the first boot of 24.04.
I am not sure if also backups are created, when switching to 20.04 again.

Have a look at /userdata/backups and clean it up.
Maybe do it from recovery: Boot to recovery, connect through adb, mount -a, and then check user-data backups folder.

Everytime you switch, there will be changes in your /home/phablet/.config and other dot-folders, because there is always something that needs to be migrated e.g. regarding system-apps.
So I won't recommend switching back and forth.

@Alain regarding installing:

You need to unlock the bootloader, there are plenty of how to's for that.
For that you will need a PC where the little tool fastboot is installed.
Then you might need to downgrade the device to the appropriate Android version. Usually the ubports installer gives short instructions where to download the right firmware.

After you unlocked the bootloader and the device is running the right Android version, you just use the ubports installer to flash Ubuntu Touch onto the device.

Thats it.

@Moem The thing is... we currently have one port (official one), based on the "full-system-image" build, and a second one based one the "standalone-kernel" method.
The second one, is the one we want to support further. But we somehow need to do a migration, from the first to the second port...

Currently, the plan is to make it available with UT 24.04.
But I am still not sure, how that will work.

@messayisto both ports are targeting both device version, so the OPO5 is still part of the show.
