@unisuperbox thank you for the reply, however would you kindly elaborate that? Is there a guide to follow to understand which commands are needed do be employed in adb shell in order to accomplish to this task? Crossbuilder is not mandatory to me, it only seemed to be the advised tool to be used, according to the UBports documentation.

@forgotten Hi, it's nice to see someone else keen to contribute :) Nobody answered to my post up to now and it's kind of strange: I thought this weren't such a difficult question for who already has experience in coding for Ubuntu Touch...but I don't despair and I want to think that it's because it's summertime now and a lot of people are in holidays as I am....unfortunately my free time I wanted to dedicate to Ubuntu Touch coding is running out, so hope I'll find more time later.

Hi,
I started this topic since I have some spare time during the current holidays and therefore I would like to dig more into how to pro-actively contribute to the development of the our most preferred OS.
What I'd like to do for the future would be to deploy an app to the store but I don't have enough knowledge right now, so I was more thinking to start choosing one or more 'pet bugs' (copyright @UniSuperBox) on GitHub.
My first choice was oriented to the keyboard component, for which I'd like to try to change something. In order to do so, I first read the following UBports documentation:
App development/System Software
There are 3 different choices highlighted there, but it seemed to me that the suggested one were the one employing crossbuilder. I felt it promising and tailored to my needs because, if I understood well the description, I could change the core app locally on my PC and always locally I could update my modification on my phone to see if working, without affecting anybody. I followed the instructions but I keep getting an error with my phone connected (it's a Meizu Pro5 16.04 devel):

I don't have a clue of what's going on here. Is there anyone who could help me in order to make me work with crossbuilder in the proper way or maybe to point me out to other means to get to my goal?

Thanks in advance.

Matteo

Thank you @Wendigo I installed your app on my BQ E5 and now it works perfectly! Nice job :)

@advocatux yes multiple errors.You can find here following the log output:

Sakawochi log - pastebin

@wendigo of course I can translate it in Italian :)

Hey,
thank you for your job :)
I tried to install your game on my BQ Aquaris E5 Vivid version but it doesn't seem to work. What I see once launched is a white window, where from time to time I can have a quick glance at the game environment, rotating the phone screen, but then suddenly it disappears again flashing several time and bringing back the white window.
I had to uninstall it for now, but it is promising.
Keep up the good work.

Matteo

Hi bill, and welcome to the crazy Ubuntu Touch by UBports world! :)
Did you have a look at the supported devices here? I checked but I don't see your device already supported nor in development I'm afraid...but maybe someone else will come by and will rebut me.

@stefano thanks anyways. I didn't open a bug report on GH yet because I'm not sure if this is related to the Ubuntu Touch OS itself or if this is peculiar of my phone only. I have the evidence that other people with fresh UT installation on pro5 don't suffer for the bugs I'm experiencing.

@Stefano I'm still trying to investigate what's wrong with my pro5 as I feel there is something weird that prevents my phone to properly work. The problem seems related to APPARMOR in some ways. I attach here some of the logs I find mostly representative of my phone "illness":

Dbus.log
Ubuntu-location-service-trust-stored
application.click.sensorstatus
ubuntu-location-service-trust-stored

I don't have the deep knowledge to understand what's going on...I hope somebody can identify the reason why this is happening helping me eventually to resolve the problem.

Thank you.

Matteo
