@jmlich In my opinion if you need Android apps a lot, UT is not a good choice. Waydroid is a good complement of UT for Android apps you really need, but if you need a lot of them, I think a good advise is to better stay in Android. For instance if you use Whatsapp a lot, UT will not be ideal.
You should use UT if you have UT apps for all your basic needs, except a few ones, like bank apps or public apps only available in Android and Iphones.
I second the support for working the documentation in UBports Docs, it is better to keep things organized and centralized, and at least for me reading is much more valuable that watching a video, but I'm from a non-media generation. For instance I'm still struggling with the lack of mailing lists in this community (fortunately we have this forum, because I get completely lost in the chats).
Despite that I would love not to depend on Google, I have to sync my UT calendar and contacts with my Google accounts, as this is what my job uses. But it seems that Google is changing security policies and will not allow UT to sync any more with their services. This is the email I received:
"Hello,
Although you do not have to do anything, we want to inform you that it is possible the following applications stop accessing some of the data of your Google Account, such as the content of Gmail. If these applications do not meet the requirements of the new data policy before the stipulated date, they will not be able to access the account after July 15, 2019.
Ubuntu
This change is part of our constant efforts to guarantee the privacy and protection of your data.
In the Google Account you can check, manage and delete whenever you want the applications that you have granted access to."
Is there anything that can be done to keep the ability to sync to Google apps?
@gt I also have this problem. The description is that the screen gets unreactive, showing whatever it was there. Sometimes I also notice that Unity opens some random applications without any touch. Turning off and on (without rebooting) the phone gets the responsiveness back, sometimes the button has to be pressed more than once. I attributed it first to Waydroid, since it was more or less after I installed it that I started noticing this, but even if I don't start Waydroid I still see the issue.
It is especially annoying when you get a call and you cannot respond to it.
Good to hear (sorry) that this does not affect only me, because I was starting to think it is a hardware problem, and I wanted to make sure that it was not only affecting me before opening a bug report.
Has anybody already opened an issue on this?
@cefre00 Better open a new post for your problem.
I'm still longing for classical mailing lists with searchable archives (and the forums) for this project, and chats only for interactive non-permanent exchanges, but I'm an old guy and I lost this battle long ago. For me it is a pain to look for old information in the Telegram chat.
@Emanuele-Sorce Thanks a lot for such a detailed guide, I think it's crucial that we have a working development environment if we want to contribute.
@arubislander Maybe if somebody from the community saves a kid of Zuckerberg from drowning, or something like that...
@mark-volpetti Mark, this a community project, so there are no "they" and "we", there is only "we". You can go to the web-site repository and open a ticket ("issue"):
@libremax I did two talks in Ubuntu install parties of the Catalan Loco Team.
May 19, 2018 - Palma "UBports i sistemes mòbils alternatius" (in Catalan), Bionic Beaver Install Party, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CatalanTeam/Activitats/BionicBeaverPalma

In the UT Telegram client Teleport, I cannot send images right now on the Volla Phone 22.
I see the attached image in Teleports, but the other party does not receive it. I cannot see it either in my own account if I open a client in the computer desktop or an Android device. I can send images from these two clients.
I opened an issue one month ago:
https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/teleports/-/issues
Anybody else seeing this issue?
I've noticed this also, and I was a couple of days without notification sounds. Sound otherwise was working well.
Yesterday by chance I went to Settings -> Notifications, and clicked on the notification sound that I'm using.
Now I have notification sounds back.
It looks like a bug, but I don't know how to reproduce.
@arubislander Maybe if somebody from the community saves a kid of Zuckerberg from drowning, or something like that...
@Kratuzov Maybe you can get some more information if you open the terminal app, write:
waydroid log
provoke the crash, and check what the log says.
@magnargj Focal in the Volla 22 works without any major issues.
@jmlich said in Waydroid infos needed 
:
@wgarcia Acctually, I don't use any android applications, but waydroid sound like a way to bypass gap until native applications are written. There is usually one or two apps which locks people to android.
In that case UT works well, but some people think they can keep both an Android phone and a UT phone with Waydroid, which is not the case.

In UT 16.04 suspension for an app could be disables with UT Tweak. Now this app is still not available for 20.04. Is there any way to disable app suspension from the command line in 20.04?
Long downloads require to disable the terminal from suspending, IMHO.
@ma Waydroid for me kept its configuration (apps installed and so on) after the upgrade to 20.04. You have just to "init" it again, no need to reinstall it.
@uwahl I opened a ticket for this:
Since my device sometimes forgets about a wifi connection and the password has to be reentered, if it is a long and complicated wifi password copying and pasting can be very helpful.
