@HYPER edge is still on xenial

@hyper @Danct12 is the porting dev, hes the only one who could answer

Will 20.04 be ported to 4x?

@kornclown7 can I ask you what performance that unisoc has? Do you think it pairs with an i5, an i3 or worse?

@applee yes, but that raises another question.
If lomiri is ported to Ubuntu desktop edition, compiled for arm, we could have a standard Ubuntu on the pinephone that looks identical to UT ?
And click applications could be packaged for Ubuntu arm like we can already do when testing them using 'clickable desktop' ?

Or I still miss something?
I know that camera drivers suck on Ubuntu compared to android drivers.

I read that what distinguishes the pinephone from other android based phones, is that it can run a standard Linux kernel instead of the usual abstraction layer sitting on top of the android kernel and blobs.
Is that true for UT?
Is it like a standard Intel PC but with an arm cpu which can possibly be upgraded with a simple dist-upgrade?

@lakotaubp I'd go for 22.04 now...

Pictures are ok but when I try to record a video, the app freezes

I was thinking of automating the creation of clickable WebApps from scratch online games and apps through https://sheeptester.github.io/htmlifier/

@stanwood said in Disable anbox and hide its apps:

@suoko Hope it worked for you as well. If yes, I guess we could mark this thread as "Solved"

Gotta get used to forum rules again after the "telegram groups storm" of latest years

@kugiigi said in Disable anbox and hide its apps:

@suoko Do you want to uninstall/remove anbox or just hide the apps?
There are desktop files named anbox* at ~/.local/share/applications which you can delete or move to other directory.

Great! This should be integrated in anbox-tool options, smt like --hide-apps

@kugiigi thanks! I already tried cause i found similar instructions on telegram and it works!

I can disable anbox and make android apps fail to start, but i'd also like to hide android apps.
How ?
I tried renaming the anbox data folder in home but no effect

I enabled webgl followingthe commands found in telegram:

These are the Terminal commands I used: 
sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_gpu-browser

sudo -i

mount -o remount,rw /

cd /etc/profile.d/

cp disable-qtwebengine-gpu.sh disable-qtwebengine-gpu.old

rm disable-qtwebengine-gpu.sh

and it works ok but i'm left with this apt status:

Can this be fixed?

@povoq what are requirements to have webgl working in morph?
Which phones will get it?

Webgl, definetely.
It would open the door to all scratch (and any other html5) apps and games

Redmi 4x

@keneda Thanks for the clarification.
BTW I just had to update the openstore

I installed latest ubport today with the installer and it worked ok, but I can't install any apps.
The progress bar keeps running.
I remember some time ago I tried ubports on this phone and had to run:

cat /var/lib/lxc/android/rootfs/ueventd*.rc|grep ^/dev|sed -e 's/^\/dev\///'|awk '{printf "ACTION==\"add\", KERNEL==\"%s\", OWNER=\"%s\", GROUP=\"%s\", MODE=\"%s\"\n",$1,$3,$4,$2}' | sed -e 's/\r//' >/usr/lib/lxc-android-config/70-santoni.rules

Is this still necessary to have a running store ?

I got a few questions though I'm not sure I'll be able to join the call.

• when a device gets official support from ubports installer, will it receive 'official' ota updates?
• most ported devices requires a manual update atm, I experienced it during this month. Is it possible to make it clearer the way to create flashable zips and possibily let install them via ut itself by instructing twrp ?
• have you ever thought of supporting an android series of phones? Let's say galaxy A series, redmi A series, realme branded phones, or whatever? Let's say you focus on redmi A series (4a, 5a, 6a, etc), you have very low cost new devices to 'offer' (below 100$ target price, perfect for developing and exploring) which would still have android dual boot.
