@lduboeuf hey no worries, people work on this on their free time and I value and respect that. I'm happy something like this exists.

I missed an update yesterday, but I just updated to daily update 301. Tested the camera and surprisingly it worked every single time I used it, even flipping back from the rear camera back to the front camera. Played with some settings, changed some resolutions etc, took many photos, and the app still worked the entire time even after closing and reopening. Bravo to devs!

Now, if only there was a solid native email application that worked, I would daily drive my pixel 3a XL. So close!

Scrolling improved on daily update 299, I noticed it's not nearly as janky as it was. It's certainly much better, but not quite there yet. Patience!

So far I am pretty impressed with Ubuntu touch, especially on this device. It's very smooth. Thank you to everybody who works on this project.

will there be a do not disturb setting coming?

@saveurlinux it has got better but it is still very inconsistent. Initially after taking one picture I would get the black screen, couldn't flip to the front camera, had to reboot the phone. After a couple of daileys, I was able to flip back between both the rear and the front camera and take pictures, but from time to time the same error would occur. I tested last night and it's the same thing. It's definitely improving though.

While typing on the keyboard, let's say texting with a friend, the keyboard cannot keep up with my typing. My regular phone has no problem keeping up. I find that there is some kind of lag while typing, otherwise if I text at my regular pace, certain letters and characters are missed and I have to backspace and re-enter each word.

Does the keyboard receive active development? Predictive text is meh as well, simple mistakes such as "woth" do not get suggested the correct word.

Typing on Ubuntu touch is kind of a pain in the ass. I really want to daily drive this but this has been a small setback.

@Vlad-Nirky why so secret?

@kugiigi the word suggestions are great when available, but for some simple words like "with", "liek", just simple misspelled words, the corrected versions (or any word) are not offered for selection. I will wait a while and check back to see if anything has improved, for now I am on Lineage.

@gpatel-fr I am on Lineage now and the keyboard is fine, so I think it's purely a UT/software problem that hopefully gets looked into in the future.

@lduboeuf yes, I have those settings enabled.

It seems that the input response time needs to be shorter between keypresses, otherwise I need to slow down my typing and gets annoying, hence this "lag" I am describing. I use the pixel 3a xl on 24.04daily myself.

on the last call it was mentioned that the kernel supports wireguard, can this be implemented in the settings/VPN page?

@gpatel-fr I just arrived back from a work trip so perhaps this weekend ill play around and report back. ill add a route manually and see what happens!

I am glad that I found this thread. I also wanted to have remote access to my network while on the go so I enabled open VPN on my network. I actually use wireguard, but since there is no wireguard support in settings, I decided to use openvpn just for Ubuntu touch.

I followed the guide that's on the Ubuntu touch website, extracting all of the keys and information required to set this up. However, while I am able to establish a connection, I cannot ping anything at all, my route out to the internet as well as to internal network devices is dead.

I thought perhaps my configuration was wrong, so to verify everything was fine, I downloaded the OpenVPN app on my regular phone (android) and imported the profile that was created from my router (I used this exact profile to extract keys from above). Once it connected, everything just worked.

I'll follow this thread in case there are additional instructions I need to implement.
