RE: Waydroid patches added
@lakotaubp Oooh, didn't know it's available via apt. Thanks for the link, marked it as bookmark. So let's see...

RE: Waydroid patches added
Yepp OP5, I installed python3-gbinder, fixed a json issue in the images.py file and I could init it, but now some services are missing.

RE: Waydroid patches added
How can I install waydroid ATM? Currently failing with the OpenStore app and the python script on the ubports/xenial branch.

RE: [Porting] Call for Testers
@flohack I see your point. I'll try on with manual flashing and reporting the current state of functionallity here.
Anyway, did you have a look on the merge request in the kernel repo? This is also for the old anbox, which is basically running with this. -
RE: [Porting] Call for Testers
Is it possible to merge the anbox-halium patches soon? It would be easier to test the latest Waydroid status without the need to flash the self built kernel after a daily devel update. Or are there negative side effects with these patches like power consumption?
Every time I tried to use Waydroid it didn't boot up because of vibrator issues. Is this something to be fixed before the merge? -
RE: [Porting] Call for Testers
@flohack Oh, there is a difference for the fp readers? Didn't know that. It's working on my OP 5 non T

RE: [Porting] Call for Testers
Fingerprint reader seems to work now with the latest sensorfw changes in the devel channel (auto brightness also fixed).

RE: Vibrator not working properly
Well, it's difficult to describe. I have disabled additional vibrations in the sound settings. But about in every app, there's one vibration per session after I tap on a UI element. My thinking is that this behaviour is related to the missdetection in WayDroid.
I'll try to collect some helpful logs these days to find out, where the issue has its origin.
But yes, the vibration actor itself works and is basically interacting with UT.
Anyone else can confirm my described behaviour? -
RE: Vibrator not working properly
It looks like that the issue is not caused by but effects WayDroid.

Vibrator not working properly
The vibrator actor has a weird behaviour. In the most apps it vibrates once after startup without respect of the sound settings. It also seems WayDroid to make the startup stuck.

RE: [Porting] Call for Testers
GPS is marked as working, but I can't confirm this in multiple apps. I am using cheeseburger. Sensorstatus app has greyed out ticks, so it might not be signal related.
A strange behaviour (maybe not device related), is that I disabled key sounds and vibration, but I always get a vibration first time in an application session.
Notification LEDs are controllable by the sys class links, so maybe that is helpful?
I can't enable ssh service, but as I know this is a kniwn issue for halium 9 devices.
More impressions (of course also unknown positive ones) may follow.
Great work, I love UT on OP5!!! -
RE: Development testers for Anbox
On N5 I recognized: Installing System updates seem to cause the reinstallation of the native kernel. This causes a disfunctionallity of anbox and heating of your device (100% CPU). I recommend to disable automatic System updates.

Community support for LoquiIM (WhatsApp)
Dear UBports team!
As you may know there is a messenger app in the Store called LoquiIM. It's an HTML5 app and was created by FirefoxOS app developers years ago to provide a all around messenger app including WhatsApp. This app is the only full GUI app to make the use of WhatsApp possible on FirefoxOS and Ubuntu Touch. To keep this up, the Loqui team needs your help. It would be a pitty, if this long project died out. We're looking forward to switch over to an Android based client. That is in the far future. Currently we emulate an S40, whose support of WhatsApp has been extended until end of 2018 some weeks ago. But this is not a surviving solution. So if someone has some experience with the WhatsApp technologies and wants to help refreshing this app, also into GUI functionallity direction, feel free to contribute on the project's Github page. Join our Telegram group.
Thanks in advice and keep up your great work here!

Enhancement: Support for SuruDark theme
Hi there!
This thread will be about an OS enhancement to fit the UI and (core) apps for the Theme palette's SuruDark theme. I tested it some time ago and I really like the 'inverted version' of the default Ambiance theme. But most of the apps, such as Filemanager or the webbrowser have static color definitions so e.g. you can't read some fonts. We could get rid of it by changing these static colors to the current Theme palette's colors for the core apps. Do you think this is a good idea? If yes we could create new braches for the core apps where we could change this. In my opinion this would make UT more attractive due to its customizability. -
RE: Need for better permission policy for HTML5 app
Cordova works worse with files from my point of experience. It's also a pitty, if you'd need such a rewrite of the html5 app. So there's a need to procreed oxide-qt or an implentation of a routine which makes a barrierfree handle with files possible.

RE: Welcome to the UBports community! Introduce yourself here!
Hi!
My name is Bjarne alias nfsprodriver. Before UT came onto the market with the bq e4.5 I was fascinated in this OS. Since the e4.5 I use and love UbuntuTouch. Because of the knowledge of FirefoxOS running WhatsApp via the webapp LoquiIm, I started the work to port it to UbuntuTouch and got some great help and supporters - partly from here ;-). Anyway, now I'm on Nexus 5 with UT and test it and some different cool projects. I hope I can give a part of work into this great community! -
