  The first step (which is more like a leap over the moon), would be to get the differences from the current ofono build (which is a fork that was maintained by Canonical at the time, and has quite a lot of changes from upstream) reconciled with upstream ofono, so we can upgrade to the latest version. There are about 45k lines of changes between our ofono, and upstream 1.17 (which our fork is based on). This will require a lot of patience, and will require some knowledge about MTK modems and such, as we'll need to keep most of the changes from the fork when updating.

  The best method I have found so far is automated backups is via a NextCloud account - either with your own server, or using a third party cloud service like owncube.com (which offers a free 5gig option to get started with) - and using the excellent UBsync app (available in the Open Store). For backing up contacts currently you need to do a manual export to a vcf file - and then back that up. Calendar sync can be easily setup to caldav also to a Nextcloud account. Best regards, Steve Berson

  @gps1539, This issue is not a regression, it has occurred for multiple releases. I'm sorry we won't be able to take care of it this time, but it is a known issue. https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/926

  While I understand it is not easy/not essential, I would like to use the physical buttons just to soil a little less the screen and some times, especially the back button, is more convenient, i.e. on the browser for the position or when scrolling a long list without the need to scroll up. The optimal solution would be to have them totally configurable (i.e. like on Android the home button)

  If you build your app on a PC with your build of SDL, does it work under wayland/weston? That's probably a good place to start debugging. Once that's working, if you have a 16.04 VM set up with unity8 installed, I would build an x86 version of the click, install it in the VM, and see what works. Once both of those are working, it should also work on phones/tablets, once the remaining bits to get wayland clients working there are done.

  Oh! That's why the latest File Manager shows «Migjorn» for Small. So, actually it is a «problem»

  @UniSuperBox said in New Launcher, edge channel.: I'd appreciate your suggestions. Can't you make it magically do what every individual wants on their own devices? It's just code, right?

  @Flohack I know that, but the question is if he uploaded the pack as a normal user (so after a personal decision) or as a Member of the Membership Committee (so after a committee or other official ubports foundation's organism decision)...so long story short under what "Trademark Licence Agreement for Ubuntu" signer that upload is associated? don't want to seem polemic, it is only personal curiosity.
