@Moem
The settings are on the right-hand side (the cogwheel).
The paper airplane is a shortcut to WhatsApp and Telegram Messenger.
Perhaps this feature could be hidden in the settings...

@GooglyBear
I have two Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro phones and I transfer files from one to the other.
For the SD card, I used the external storage app in the panel.
ext4 is usable but cannot be formatted via this app.
Without sudo,,you won't access to the waydroid folder (if you use it).

If you want to know whether the installation matters for UT, then the answer is yes.

Each port relies on Halium, which communicates with the low-level "drivers" that the UT installation leaves in place. The interfaces are adapted for a given version of Halium.
So if you install with the wrong version of Android to begin with, it may not install at all, it may install but parts of UT may not be able to talk to the hardware, or it may work completely (but then that's just luck).

@Sentinel
Have you tried disabling location services in UT before using GPS in Waydroid?
Have you tried the GPS test app via Atpoide?

@bunt7
It's a fairly well-supported phone, though.
Which version of Android was installed before Ubuntu Touch?
The UT installation is based on Halium 10, so you should have had Android 10...

@GooglyBear
No, only the commands mentioned above.
Let's try again.
It seems that adb root is disabled by default.
You need to add a module to be able to use it.
Is that correct?

@kugiigi
The new design is very nice, by the way. Thanks for this!

@gpatel-fr
A kind of easter egg...
Funny!

Thanks for sharing!

I have two Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro M2003J6B2G (global).
I use them in Belgium.
Very pleasant phones to use with UT. All is working very well.

@GooglyBear
I'll try...
Hum. No, the pull don't have access to waydroid data folder.

adb pull /home/phablet/.local/share/waydroid
/home/phablet/.local/share/waydroid/: 0 files pulled, 0 skipped.

@GooglyBear
With this procedure, are Waydroid's specific directory rights preserved?

It's a different device and need the right ROM to work.
Do you have the model printed at the back of the device?

@padraic
For a next time, to verifiy the device, you must enable developper mode in system settings / System information.
Connect the usb. Accept the connection on the phone.
adb devices must show you your phone.

@padraic
We had a bug on a recent 24.04-2.x
If you can connect with adb shell or ssh

sudo mount -t tmpfs none /var/cache/apt
sudo mount -t tmpfs none /var/lib/apt
sudo apt update
sudo apt install maliit-inputcontext-qt5

Otherwise, you could as Moem have suggested use the installer and install a fresh UT (don't check wipe data or partitionning).

@padraic
24.04-1.x
24.04-2.x
?

@padraic
Which channel do you use?

@gpatel-fr
Yes, I was thinking to the SD app present in Lomiri panel.

@Charly
Hello.
If I understood correctly, UT formats the SD card in FAT, but on my phone, it was able to use ext4 without any issues. Let me know if it works for you too.

@GooglyBear
Hello.
On my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (24.04-2.x), I inserted a 64GB SD card formatted in ext4 by my Fedora 43 desktop.
The card is visible in FileManager+, I was able to add a file to it, and I imagine it would be usable for your rsync...
I run this one as root and it's look good
rsync -avh --size-only --checksum --ignore-times /home/phablet/ /media/phablet/f6466442-e8e6-46bb-b918-89996720569e/phablet-backup/

@gpatel-fr
Hello.
Swap can be added but is not by default.
It can help to fix some app crash.
