  @Giiba I don't speak for myself. I realized long ago that progress would be very gradual. But some users are impatient because all they have is only a Pinephone for daily use.

  When I read the proposition of Lionel I thought about the most popular fully featured apps. For me, requirements to get into this kind of repository should be something like: UT app (port of existing app to UT, native app) Popularity the user base should be large enough to draw developers/designers to contribute Of course popularity is hard to define, but I agree that some advanced apps should benefit from the visibility given by the foundation to help find people to contribute. I also agree with @dobey that the separation should be clear between community apps, core apps and the OS. Problems are who could be in charge of the gitlab, how to manage access rights, etc. I have very little knowledge of how it can be done. Meanwhile if a developer cannot continue maintaining their app, the forum is a good place to call for a new maintainer and ask for help to keep a nice project alive.

  @gimait I have never tried building Anbox for Ubuntu Touch myself, so I cannot offer any guidance there... But @rocket2nfinity confirms that no special kernel is needed.

  @marius-ciclistu for reading / extracting / creating any archive that is not zip (rar, 7z, and so on) you need to install 3 packages through a xenial container in libertine: file-roller, p7zip-full, p7zip-rar. Then, navigate to the archive with file-roller (which dpi I advise to set with "libertine tweak tool" in the openstore to get a usable experience) and you'll be able to do what you need

  I have been working to get solutions for syncing my Zoho contacts and appointments, as well as Discord, and with that done I want to try using UT on my Nexus5 again as a daily driver. However, being a tinkerer I find doing that on the phone painful and would like to get UT working on an x86 netbook that last had Ubuntu 14.04 installed. The support page says that they need a config file to support x86, but I can't find any documentation on how to create or submit one. Can somebody please point me in the right direction? Also, I've seen several mentions that apps in the store do not support x86. Is that still true? James

  To lower the boundaries for potential users and to increase (the perception of) Ubuntu Touch to be a viable alternative to the mainstream OS's, I would like to see a Ubuntu Touch Suite as a solid foundation to build the platform on every stakeholder will be able to benefit from and should in turn even generate more (Pine64) hardware demand. Not sure as to where the revenues from Pine64 Pinephone project have been allocated, I believe investing in a Ubuntu Touch Suite will not only pay off for UBports and be beneficial to current UT users. It should attract a lot of mainstream OS users to Linux based phones and UT in particular. Both Pine64 and the Document Foundation could benefit from this development. A Ubuntu Touch Suite could be an AppArmored application including: a LibreOffice LITE version; an email client (further improved Dekko2 ?); virus scanner/firewall (debatable, still a good feeling for newcomers); in order to cater new UT users with applications (license/collaboration with Document Foundation) what they would expect out of the box and not having them to dive into terminal commands from the start. Any thoughts?

  @Mark Sound now works (HDMI and audio jack) on recent images with a newer kernel. Apparmor can be made to work by making some kernel changes (copied from similar changes made for the Pinephone) but this is not yet in the downloadable image.

  @Giiba I haven't seen a SIM option on it, but I realy want to play with LoRa. I think I'm going to order one, but I'll have to wait until November.
