  To support ratings/reviews, the code for the server that was used for the old store from Canonical, for this purpose, is I think Open Source, but it would require getting that set up and running somewhere under open-store.io, and then updating the client side to support it. It's a fairly simple API, and there's already code in unity-scope-click which supports the old service.

  Mhmm, maybe I'm bad in explaining... I could blame my bad english skills... I try it once more: I don't said that we necessarily should support theming, but if we do it makes most sense to switch themes in a global manner. That does not imply to force the apps! At least it shouldn't imply that and I cannot believe it does. So lets say you can set a theme in the settings. Think of it as a suggestion. Then the app can, if that has been implemented, look at this setting and use the theme set globally. Nobody would be forced to anything, but nonetheless the user could set the theme globally for all those apps supporting it. Maybe there are better concepts than theming - it wasn't my intention to discuss that...

  Well, @doniks, I have tried creating files of various sizes with dd and doing an adb push with them, and there are some results: -Images of 1 GB or 1,5 GB are not created by an error of insufficient space in halium-install -Images of 2 GB or more are created but when I try to push it to the phone vía adb push (filename) /data it gives me an error of not enough partition size. I have tried it not only with Ubuntu Touch images, also with Plasma Mobile rootfs and Halium reference rootfs.

  Estos son los pasos a seguir para actualizar de Ubuntu Touch OTA-3 a OTA-4. Tenga en cuenta que aún hay aplicaciones que no han sido recompiladas y empaquetadas para el OpenStore en 16.04. Es una buena idea ver las aplicaciones que más necesita en la web de OpenStore y comprobar si hay o no una versión para Xenial disponible. Asegúrese además de leer el anuncio de publicación (en inglés) y de que es capaz de lidiar los problemas conocidos. Dicho esto, comencemos. Consiga el instalador de UBports pulsando en el botón «Install Ubuntu Touch» (Instalar Ubuntu Touch) de esta página por ejemplo. El modelo que aparece es irrelevante para lo que vamos a hacer. Elija el instalador adecuado para el sistema operativo del ordenador que vaya a usar. Inicie el instalador de UBports y siga las instrucciones hasta llegar a la página «Ready to install!» (¡Listo para instalar!) Pulse en «Change options» (Cambiar de opción) y seleccione «16.04/stable» como canal («channel»). NO MARQUE «WIPE» (nota: la opción «wipe» borra todo el contenido que haya en su dispositivo). Pulse «Close» (Cerrar). En «Install options» (opciones de instalación), asegúrese de que está seleccionado «16.04/stable» y de que «wipe» NO está seleccionado. Pulse en «Install» (instalar) para comenzar la instalación. Siga las instrucciones (en inglés) hasta completar el proceso. Tras pasar la pantalla de «Installing Update» (instalando actualización) y los reinicios ¡tendrá Ubuntu Touch 16.04! Nota: Instrucciones originales en inglés.

  Great idea. Another angle similar to that is getting local colleges/universities aware through their Computer Science Clubs (some actually have FOSS/linux clubs too). Having them cover it, and in turn the university papers, could not just bring in new people, but new volunteers to the project. Anyway, whether it is a school paper, or local/national, press release templates are a good way to jump start that so folks don't have to "create from scratch" every single time. I wonder building something like this would be helpful in getting folks the confidence to share...essentially, a press page is a bunch of templates that makes it easier for reporters to cover it. The press page contains a "press kit"...sometimes in the page, and in zip folders (with logos, headshots of core devs, origin story summarized, etc.) https://zapier.com/blog/best-press-kit/

  For you want to adopt the UI you can use Ubuntu (core) + Unity8 on RasPi. Also you can run anbox on a desktop. But I think there could be some performace issues (at least on zero).

  @Vistaus I'd potentially be interested in buying it off you if you'd be willing to ship to the US. Feel free to message me if you want to haggle over a price.
