...recently discovered KEEPWEB working well on focal...so necessary for editing the Keepass (read only) .kdbx files on focal...

still ota4 on focal pixel 3axl

@arubislander
o.k. I understand, it is a pity anyway...

@AppLee
Couldn't it be an option to at least keeping alive the option for that feature? So that interested people could switch it on via commandline with something like: "enable double tap to wake"??

@lduboeuf
...yes, indeed, no double-tap2wake for pixel3a in new ota5...
I'm hoping for the future...and will keep my ota4 so far...

@iduboeuf
Thank you, I will watch -- although no mention of doubletap2wake in the blog ;-)) (?)

@arubislander
What a pity...
Finally I chose the only (?) way to get back my double tap to wake function: I went back to stable channel focal (ota 4) where the feature is still alive - saving my hardware (on off knob) so much!

Where can I have a look for watching the further progress of the feature before I'm updating focal the next time?

@arubislander
so, if I understood right, there is no way to temporarily getting back the feature via gsettings?

When updating to the new rc version 12, the gesture feature double-tap on screen for waking wasn't available any more....
Is there a way to reactivate that nice and useful little feature?
Hoping...
pixel 3a xl, focal rc12

@lduboeuf
So sorry, you are right...it is not the mediaplayer app which can open pictures...
It is the preview app which opens pictures directly from filemanager. And it is the preview opening the picture in wrong orientation...
Sorry...

Hi all,
I'm rotating a picture from landscape to portrait in Gallery-app, then I save it with Gallery tools and copy it to another place. Now I can see this saved picture with the right = saved portrait orientation in Gallery as well as in filemanager thumbs. But when trying to open it again with the file preview, the picture keeps the old = wrong landscape orientation...
I remember having seen this behaviour in an older post here but cannot find it again...
Do you have an advice for me?
Thanks for your answers!

pixel 3axl with focal r867

How can I set the duration/ timeout of osd-notifications? Could someone please tell me the right scheme... with gsettings commandline?
Thanks in advance!

...the same when trying to add a folder to bookmarks...

Hello all,
have a little Morph-problem when trying to add a domain into black-/ whitelist. I can see either the keyboard OR the domain-entering-field. When I'm trying to enter something into the domain-field, the screen immediately jumps to onscreen keyboard and the entering field itself is invisible. So it is not possible to enter something.

Seems to be a Morph issue, because Sapot browser behaviour is still o.k. trying the same.

20.04 dev r727 on pixel 3a xl

Since it seems not possible at the moment to password protect/ enctrypt an usb-stick via UT, I looked for a possibility to do a partial (compressed and gpg protected) backup of my phone.
In the moment it is not possible/ difficult to do a whole directory compression or a passphrase protected gpg encryption via KArchive to build a gui.
My solution for the moment is a simple shell-script for backing up my /phablet/Downloads folder with

tar -czvf Downloads.tar Downloads
resulting in a file Downloads.tar
and
encrypting the file Downloads.tar with with a symmetric passphrase key using the gpg command:
gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo aes256 Downloads.tar
resulting in a passphrase protected file Downloads.tar.gpg

So I'll mark the thread as solved for the moment.

UT 20.04 dev on Pixel3axl

@arubislander
...thanks for the advice... UT is not regular Ubuntu...
The only (?) command I found in UT /bin doing compression AND password protection in one single command is " gpgtar ". With symmetric key option in my case. Any other ideas?
7zip command doing the same I could find in regular Ubuntu only, not in UT...

Hi all,
just a question - is a password protection possible in UT when generating a new archive with tar, zip, etc?

Still testing UTTT on focal (rc channel) with prevented app background suspension.
...interesting...
the adress http://streaming.radionomy.com/ABC-Love
is working without stuttering,
whereas the address https://srv.deutschlandradio.de/themes/streamplayer/index.html
IS stuttering...
What might be the difference?

Although UT tweak tool is working only partially on focal, I tried to install it with success. UTTT vers.0.7.0 arm64.
When preventing background suspension for morph, music streaming worked without stuttering for me... :-))
focal; rc (2023-W29) on pixel3a_xl

Due to a little "accident" (boot-loop) in dev channel I had to make a fresh install on my pixel 3axl (focal) one week ago. Now on rc channel the phone is stable and the reboot issue has disappeared...
Hope it helps...

@tera thank you for your answer!
...what I tried:
sudo mount -rw -t vfat /dev/sda /media/myfolder
...and after sucessfully mounting
sudo chmod -v -R 777 /media/myfolder
...all folders/ files in /media/myfolder were shown (in terminal!) as being changed from rwx rx rx ---> to rwx rwx rwx.
So, full of hope, I opened my phone's filemanager and tried to change a file's name in /media/myfolder...
...but neither adding a file nor changing its name was accepted by the system...no write access! Also, of course, the contents of files couldn't be changed by e.g. Seabass2-app.
In spite of the permission changes signaled by the terminal, the files on the SD-card obviously remained unchanged.
Had no success also when trying a mount-folder in /home/phablet/myfolder...

The files on the SD card were written by myself with the "external storage"-app on the same phone. So I should be the owner/ root of the files...
What's wrong with my trials?
