    I struggled a bit (see my other post here) and rooted the tablet, but now it functions. It was well worth it. What a pleasure to go to the app store and everything is free! My kid got all the games and she loves the planetarium.

    Hello @captainfunk , maybe I misunderstand your question about the rotation, but you can already rotate the screen vertically and horizontally. To lock or unlock the automatic rotation: a) Open the settings app and you will see the option to turn it on or off or b) Swipe down from the top of your screen and go to the second last option on the left

    @hankschwie hi mate, so at long last the latest update has sorted the reboot problem - this is version 280 of Ubuntu 24.04 as of 26/06/2025. I don't know about Fairfax phones but have a Gigaset GS5 which I used the Vollaphone 22 with new screen install. Phone works, Ubuntu works, and now Waydroid is back..... These folks are truly amazing

    Does anyone have experience with a wireless connection that connects a Volla Quintus with a monitor? If yes, which monitors work and which don't?

    @peat_psuwit said in Status update on Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.x, March/April 2025: The new framework is called ubuntu-touch-24.04-1.x, with -qml variant for QML-only applications Thanks for all! So the framework name should be ubuntu-touch-24.04-1.x-qml or ubuntu-touch-24.04-1.x-papi ?

    @ChromiumOS-Guy Thanks, extensions are accessible now. Form filling from the browser's saved passwords doesn't work, I guess it's because of copy&paste not working? But the bitwarden extension can fill form fields so it's good enough for me. For my point 9. I found the privacy settings and that by default it deletes a lot of stuff on exit. Might be good to call these defaults out in the readme. Not sure if this is for location access https://github.com/ChromiumOS-Guy/uWolf/commit/c27cf41b4b3bd9d1e84519ca0c7abe17637ac19c#diff-9f6e9f7df1d5f0a60e077fa35efd7d122e78595f3852769e59834397b9860c07R3-R5 but still only the browser itself asks for its internal location access permission, it still doesn't ask the OS. I think you should be able to test this far even without the smartphone actually being able to get a fix, right?

    @alagirialagiri said in what's a good minimum translation completion percentage: @doniks I want to know whether the news section , question and answer blog posts are available in weblate translation in Tamil language.There is no navigation box available as available in documentation page.i request weblate translators to provide the language transulation Navigation box for every forum .Thanking you. As I said before, I think it would be best to create a new post to maximise the chances that the right people can react to your questions, rather than burry your questions here in this thread. I don't have access to the blog

    @Alain Oh wait, so you haven't unlocked the bootloader yet earlier? I assume only the toggle in Android?

    @hisacro - well, the longer term future is never all that clear, but in the more short to mid term, there are ports being worked on for the Furilabs FLX1, and the Brax Phone 3, that should be promising options for those that want to support companies that target their products specifically to be privacy respecting. After that, the Fairphone 6 has been announced and will very likely get a UT port as well. Volla, despite being a small niche operation, has shown some resilience and consistency, with UT support being enabled for every device they have released, so I think we will see more from them in the future as well. Pixel 5, 6, 7, and 8 (and variants of these) should be doable for Halium based ports, it just takes someone that owns one of these devices, that has the needed patience and technical know how, to volunteer for this effort. Regarding Xiaomi phones in the future (which includes brands such as Redmi and Poco), those were already kind of a pain the a to get their bootloaders unlocked, and with Xiaomi's new HyperOS (their new bloated skin on top of Android), they have made it even harder to unlock. I had to use a third party hack called "Hypersploit" in order to unlock a Poco X3 NFC which came with HyperOS 1, and apparently this hack no longer works on Hyper OS 2. Best reagrds, Steve Berson
