Greetings.
Despairing that Sailfish OS will never have a decent browser and that it's actually losing ground in areas like support for ProtonMail and VPNs, I started looking for an alternative OS for the Sony XperiaX I got . . . to run Sailfish OS. A Lineage OS rom with the MicroG modifications would be fine -- if there were one already canned for the XperiaX. Likewise /e/. Best I can tell, there are not (please correct me if I'm wrong, bearing in mind that flashing a phone is like setting a broken leg to me -- I'll do it if I have to, but it's not something I'm good at). So I flashed away Sailfish 4.4.0.68 and installed OTA 23 of what's apparently the stable branch of Ubuntu Touch. It's pleasingly smooth in many ways, but . . .
-- There is NO documentation I can find. Nor can I find any forum or mailing list. It seems to be developers only, which is fine if you don't have or plan to have users. Does anyone know of any support forum or mailing list that helps mere users try out the OS?
-- There is no attention (yet, at least) paid to security, as witness the OS's inability to read an OVPN file so a VPN can be used. There is a document (https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/post/using-vpn-in-ubuntu-touch-3065) that describes how one might strip the necessary information from an OVPN file, but c'mon.
-- It is apparently possible to manipulate the left-side frequently-used-applications bar (or whatever it's called; again, there seems to be no user documentation even establishing names for these things), because I've seen different apps in that bar in different screenshots. But nowhere can I find anything describing how this is done. (I learned that you need to open the app store to delete an app entirely by accident.)
The hits just keep on coming, but I'll stop there. Does anyone know of any user support site/forum/listserv where we can sort these things out? I'd really like for it to succeed, and even more to be able to use it, but there are a few minimum requirements (VPN especially), that I need to be able to implement. Otherwise I'll have to go back to Sailfish and the world's worst non-Konqueror browser.
Never mind, I guess. I said hell with it and flashed the Lineage OS for MicroG image. Ubuntu Touch is prettier and smoother, but I need an operating system, not a puzzle game, and absent user documentation it's more the latter than the former. It's kind of like Linux in 1997, but without the newsgroup support.
Same thing here, couldn't even get beyond their installer. I guess UB touch is as bull**** as ubuntu itself...
for pointing it out! I thought already it was me but no, it's ubuntu...

JavaSCRIPT != JAVA - javascript is a very specific subset designed for doing just a bit of flow control textual / dialog programming on web sites. Java uses semi-compiled byte code to create full stand-alone applications.
technically, yes, android supports Java, in fact, at the core of android is linux, which handles all of the hardware input/output stuff, but then right on top of linux is Dalvik which is a Java byte code virtual machine designed by google to be nice and lightweight as well as supplying additional features for tablets and phones specifically (touch screen support and such). so yes, android by nature of being android, can run java. the trick is weather or not the application that you're trying to run from the web site uses code that is fully supported by Dalvik.
unless someone more knowledgable than I would care to chime in, I would strongly simply recommend either borrowing a friend's phone / tablet for a few minutes and just test out the application for yourself and see how well it runs for you, or visit your nearest cellular phone store and try one of the store demos in the same capacity.
Good luck!
Upon my visit to your link Amiga:
I guess that about says it all.
Pushing the ok button just gave me the same message.
I'm pretty sure that android cannot run normal java applets. The JVM used oly has a certain subset of java capabilities.
Not a mobile site either, I'd guess.
there a workaround to this?
Upon opening the site I chose install and it auto downloaded a file but it could not run on my note. The other option was a button that I couldn't activate. Thats where the Java would be needed.

Thread closed:
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails, you may then contact a Moderator and provide clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in the copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence that it was you who created the work, then in the spirit of sharing, all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by that developer. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie, allowing certain people to use it and not others). If the developer decides to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes available for all to use, albeit with the relevant credit displayed.
When permission has already been given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under extreme circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

What is Kapuer ?
Not yet just another permission management application ! Kapuer is way more than that. It is a recommender system that helps you deal with the difficulties to protect your privacy from all your apps.
How does it work ?
Each time one of your app wants to use some of your private data, Kapuer first informs you of that request, gives you details on concerned permission and asks you if you want to allow or deny this request.
Your decision allow Kapuer to understand how you want to protect your privacy. Then, after some requests, Kapuer will propose you an higher level rule to manage a whole set of permissions or a whole set of application. Suppose you always deny games to access the Internet because you play only solo games. After few interactions with Kapuer, it will understand that you don't want to let games access the Internet and it will propose you a rule to deny all upcoming requests from games to access the Internet.
Kapuer is the result of a PhD and is still at its early ages. Updates and improvements will come. This implementation of Kapuer has been build with Xposed.
Even if Kapuer is and will stay free for public, it is not open source. We still plan on a possible commercial use of the decision support system behind Kapuer but privacy is important for us and we wanted to share Kapuer with everybody. We do not use information about you or your data, everything stay and will forever stay on your device.
Kapuer hasn't been tested for the moment with Xposed for Android 5.xx
How can I test it ?
Kapuer is still in beta and lots of updates will come.
You can find more information on Kapuer and download it at : http://kapuer.org/en/index.html

The thing that come in stock android that shows an user icon on the top right and and can have multiple phone users with their own apps and user data.
For some reason some brands strip this feature from stock android. Is it present in the mate 10 pro?

It does. You assign a different finger print to it and when you unlock the phone, you get a different layout of your choosing. Is that what you mean?

Hey. Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing. I mean this:
EDIT: Looks like I can't post links due to being a new member. I hope it's not infringing the forum rules to do this. I mean the stock android feature that show up if you google:
Code:
android set up multiple users on same phone
I THINK it's the same. Can anybody confirm it's the same?

Yeah it is. It's just you have the extra bonus of being able to unlock that other profile with a different fingerprint.
Alright!
Thanks. I'm going to get one of these then. This feature was critical to me.
Here you go. Confirmation.
is it possible to have certain folders "shared" between users?
What is the difference between users created via this GUI and users created via PrivateSpace?
thanks in advance.
Hey guys,
I'm now for quite some time with my new Umidigi S2 Pro. And I'm not very satisfied, especially because this garbage OS they programmed naming it Umi OS (V2. 0).
They forbid the use of your (also payed!) third-party launchers, the OS can't handle the resources well (CPU load with nothing running is often at 100% - phone kind of never using more than 2gb RAM if the 6gb available - it's LAGGING like hell!), and so on.
Until now I always rooted my phones for more flexibility and customization options.
For reasons like Online Banking and other stuff where you should NOT have root this is something I don't want this time, no more rooting if possible. Only another ROM (possibly stock).
I'd like to know if anybody is already trying to port a stock android ROM for this phone. If yes, I'd like to offer my help (if helping is possible).
If not, I'd like to ask for guides about porting stock android. Or ANY guide that can help me out. Doing research on the web shows that it's not quite easy with Mediatek processors. But I'd like to give it a try (and maybe start the developing for other people to join in or develop further on if they're interested). For me it's not a big deal if it'll be Android 7 (Nougat) or Android 8 (Oreo), I just want this phone to run like it could and should. This phone is really a great product, good hardware, the only thing slowing it down is their (crap) operating system.
We need to get rid of Umi OS! And it's unlikely that Umi will listen to their customers (reading their forums will show you what I mean).
I hope someone is willing to help me (and all other owners of an Umidigi S2 Pro). Any help is greatly welcome and much appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your support.
Greetings

Yeah I totally agree, sadly I don't have a clue about making a custom rom
Would love it if someone would take the time to make this happen, if I can help out in any way I would, but I'm kinda clueless in this area..
Well there might be a way to port a rom from another device running the MediaTek Helio P25 (MT6757CD) processor, not totally sure if it will work. Not many phones with that Cpu but a few. https://www.kimovil.com/en/list-smartphones-by-processor/mediatek-helio-p25-mt6757cd
Here is how this guy did it for another mediatek device. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIrAuwYJyZk

Maby try porting the Maze Alpha X Rom
Is the site where ”getdroidtips” is sending fake information?
Please guide porting rom for Helio P25 MT6757CD (GOME U7).
