I wanted to try to install a few android apps, I did figure it out a bit. But for some reason after the setup of the container and installing WhatsApp on the phone, every container application are shown twice in the menu. So that makes it three contacts, three calculators, three calenders and you get the idea. So I figured let's uninstall the apps that I don't need, but whenever I try to do that, the adb emulator shows that it is offline. I tried restarting the phone, restarting the adb server but nothing worked.

The above screenshot is from my computer.

Now I just want to delete everything but not sure how I am supposed to do that.

@stanwood said in Screen rotation on the lock screen:

@somannak So it looks like the accelerometer sensor is not functional on your device, maybe an incomplete port (?)
Works well on all my devices though...

How do I fix that? How do I check the ports? I get what might be the problem but am not sure what to do.

"I was wondering if that was possible even in the lock screen."

Indeed, you can go in the top bar menu, there's a screen rotation locker (just click on the icon).

The rotation lock is switched off, but that doesn't rotate the screen when the phone is locked.

Just like whenever I'm using any application, the screen rotates every four ways. I was wondering if that was possible even in the lock screen.

I don't have any phones to use ubuntu touch on so I'm using it on an Asus One Power and I don't even have the budget to buy a new mobile phone for this. the top half of the display isn't working so I just rotate the mobile and start using depending on where I'll have to click on the screen. But that is not possible on the lock screen like whenever I get a call, the answer button is on the top of the screen and I can't rotate if the phone is on the lock screen.

I could just wait for the call to get disconnected unlock the phone and call back. But the problem is when I get a message and the notification sticks on the top. I'll have to restart the phone every time to unlock the phone. So I need to know if I could at least disable that.

When I get notifications like these on the lock screen, I'll either have to use a mouse to close it but that will not be possible every time, or restart the phone which is annoying.

So I was wondering if there is anything else that I can do.

@moem That answers most of my questions for now. I'll get back when I have something else...

@Moem @arubislander,
Okay,
I think I get it.

One more thing,
WayDroid doesn't work on One Plus One, so I'll have to stick to Anbox if I have to install any android applications. But both WayDroid and Anbox don't make all the applications work (not talking about huge gaming apps, just the regular use messaging applications for now). The same with Libertine as well. So if someone is ready to use cmd applications for a while if UT applications are not yet available, UT is a good option. Expecting to use Android applications or Desktop applications on UT is not a good idea yet. Am I right?

About to start using OpO for daily use.
How did you create that signature?

@keneda so waydroid is another container that I could install and manage permissions with it?
can you give me any links where I could start working from?

I'm quite new to UT, I tried updating the system by using sudo apt-get update but that gave me some errors
After browsing through the web I understood that every application on UT runs inside a container. Libertine I guess, for all desktop applications and Anbox for just a few Android applications.

I guess the sudo system-image-cli -v -p 0 --progress dots command is used to update the OS but not sure If it updates all the packages present. I read the user guide in the
documentation and not much.

I am very much interested in this thing and I wanted to learn everything that I can, but not sure where to start. I could not find anything thing online to start with. Not sure what to do, so wanted a little help with everything. and yes do let me know if anything I posted in this question is wrong.

I recently installed WhatsApp on my One Plus One UT with Anbox, I wanted to know how to give the app permission to access the camera, storage and all the other things.
