    • RE: UT Installation failure

      @magnargj Success!!! Wow, finally...

      Ok, assuming that the necessary tools like adb and fastboot are installed on the PC. The phone is in developer mode, bootloader is unlocked and usb debugging enabled.

      1. Download the latest twrp for the device, it is sufficient with the img file. Here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/jasmine_sprout/
      2. Download the zip file with Android 9 as indicated by the ubports installer
      3. Turn on the phone in Fastboot mode (volume down + power).
      4. Boot the phone with the twrp img file: fastboot boot filename.img (No point in flashing twrp to the device, it worked fine just by booting with it)
      5. Just use the file manager (nautilus or whatever) and copy the zip file in point 2 above to the phone
      6. In twrp press the big install button in the main menu and browse to the zip file and flash
      7. Go to the big reboot button in the main menu and change slot to the other and repeat point 6.
      8. Reboot the phone into Android 9. Enable developer mode and usb debugging.
      9. Run the UBports installer and follow its instructions.

      It worked!!! Finally.

      BUT: USE A GOOD USB CABLE!!!!!!! Half of my problems were because the zip file was corrupted when transferred over to the phone. The first cable (which was the one that came with my pinephone) just didn't do the job. This caused error messages when attempting to flash.

    • RE: OTA-20 Is Now Rolling Out

      I definitively understand that this is a resource question, and the development of UT is low on resources... It might even be so that the amount of bug reports currently received, is more than enough, and the current way of doing it actually ensures that the amount doesn't become overwhelming.

      @unisuperbox said in OTA-20 Is Now Rolling Out:

      software is available to everyone at no charge.

      Which, of course, is appreciated every day by yours truly. I'm so happy that I don't need to use android and ios.

      I don't think it's that much of an ask to have people go to a central place to report issues that they have with Ubuntu Touch. Especially when someone getting a GitHub or GitLab account opens them up to many, many opportunities with Open Source software.

      This is not the user perspective, but rather the developer/coder/IT-person perspective. Personally, Github scares me away, I think it is counter intuitive and clearly made by and for coders and developers. I've thought about how handy it could be many times, but every time I'm in there I'm filled with a sense of frustration and feel alienated. Even though this may be hard to relate to among those that are daily github users, I think many "lay-men" are in the same boat as myself.

      Maybe you have an idea on how we could make the current bug reporting process easier for people? We can probably find a way to make sure that we get all the information that we need from everyone, without taking a lot of your time.

      I have no ready solutions for making the bug-reporting process easier, but I was envisaging something similar to Questback (I know, it is not a bug reporting software) where the user fills in feedback on different topics and where there are field where problems could be elaborated. I'm sure it would be possible to make some sort of link to have it all end up in github.
      The whole reporting could be integrated into the phone user interface, somewhere in the settings, so that bots didn't find it and create a spam issue.

    • RE: Wishes, Dreams, and Unicorns

      A nice feature I think, would be automatic toggling between silent mode and sound at specified times. Typically, it would be great if the phone went into silent mode when I start putting the kids to bed in the evening, and stayed silent until I got up in the morning, without having to remember to flip that switch every day! 😀

    • RE: Mobile data usage monitoring (dataMonitor app)

      @totalrando oh, right! I did downgrade to Android 9 before installing UT, so it is Halium 9 then 👍☺ thanks!

    • RE: Most stable Dual Sim Phone

      @applee I struggled really bad (steep learning curve), but this isn't really my comfort zone. I bricked it and had to open the phone to get it back alive, but with patience I managed. There is a thread about it on the forum: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6187/ut-installation-failure
      It was worth it, though 🙂

      Gramps! The geneaology program would be useful. But maybe it works already with libertine? 🤔

      @matteo thanks for the update. And don't worry, translated from a Norwegian saying: "those who wait for somthing good, waits not in vain" 😄 Good luck with the new PC and enjoy the Summer. The latter applies to the whole community 👍

    • RE: My final feedback after 5 months of using UT on a Xiaomi Mi A2

      @keneda never had HDR on so it isn't that. The only sollution I've found is to be patient and reboot the phone twice (since the first attempt basically only closes all open apps) 😂

    • RE: My final feedback after 5 months of using UT on a Xiaomi Mi A2

      @embeddedmz I have the same phone as you, and it was easy to install using waydroid helper which is in the open store. I wouldn't say that waydroid is completely streamlined and snappy, but my overall experience is positive. The freezinng camera is a greater nuisance...

      @embeddedmz waydroid allows you to run android apps on a linux device such as a UT phone.

    • RE: Morph browser

      @mschmids It worked, I updated uAdblock with only the youtube block and that did the trick. Now it only remains to figure out which list was the culprit... Thanks!

      @mschmids I had that suspicion, but I did disable uAdblock and reboot afterwards without luck. I'll try again.

    • RE: Morph browser

      @kugiigi Thanks for your quick response! Time and data are correct as far as I can tell. I'm attaching a few screenshots, first from the browser itself, and the other two with the webapps. Esspentially, they say the same thing (in Norwegian) that the server "rejected the connection".screenshot20220516_194248474.png screenshot20220516_194311157.png screenshot20220516_194347891.png screenshot20220516_194410658.png

    • Morph browser

      Hello,

      I was offline last week, and after I came back Morph browser doesn't allow me to access twitter and mastodon.social. The webapps available on OpenStore don't work either. Other web pages look funny.
      I noticed that firefox had an update last week. So I wonder if there has been an update to certificates which aren't supported by Morph. Should we expect an update? Sapot Browser give the same issues btw.
