  Hi, sorry for OTA-3 its much too late to add any features, we are already late with it and cannot risk to postpone it longer. Also from my point of view this needs a wider discussion since you propose to change the kernel only for one device. We don´t like to have such functions only on one piece of hardware, it creates confusion and additional QA problems etc. If you propose such a change, file an issue on our ubports "ubuntu-touch" tracker in Github, but please be as specifica as possible, the best would be to suggest the kernel options that are missing. Then we can get into discussion about this. BR

  @demokrit said in Simulating a "Ubports" 16.04 on x86 hardware (or VM) - work in progress: mhhmm ... when you say Unity 7 + X11 you mean .... without mir .... so which UT apps run without mir .... maybe I'm not understanding you right. I meant that i build some apps that are currently only packaged as clicks for the phone from source in an 16.04.3 x86_64 on unity7 atop X11 As of yet i could successfully build and start OpenStore, Clock-App and InstantFX I'm really surprised! I was quite convinced that a UT "phone" app, ie, an app developed and built against the ubuntu sdk would require mir. But you the way you describe it you have these apps running on 16.04, unity 7, ie, X! This is really blowing my mind. I guess they work since they rely on Qt which also works on X11 not only on mir but i don't really know that stuff. Seems like. I'm really, really surprised. Ah one more thing; i tried building locally with Yunit installed and interestingly there seems to be a Problem with mir so i cannot start the OpenStore (the irony is somewhat bugging me). Haven't tried with another App, i will report as soon as there is more news. Strange indeed. Do you have the error still at hand?

  From Community Update 15: People have been asking about the KRACK and BlueBorne vulnerabilities lately, and for good reason. These are highly public explots. Both have been fixed in the RC and Devel channels, with the fixes landing in Stable with the next OTA. Yay! Marking this thread as solved.

  Compatability has to be in the core in some form. To me theres no realistic way without compatability. I gave up on my ubuntu mx4 and now use the mx meizu flyme android because of............the money. Not linux/Android/freedom, like/dislike discussions, but simply because I would have to have two phones: To operate with my banking, reading danish newspapers, see danish television, use the danish mobilePay, use the phone with online ticketing for bus/train - a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with "hobbyist" fiddling with philosophical linux/windows/android speculations but all to do with very everyday digitalizations of very soon everything in daily life. And all those local institutions in all countries are NOT going to create linux compatible versions of their apps. But they are going to be even more necessary to have access to. That leaves the discussions with no choice - if the UBport is going to be anything else than a utopian/idealistic project, it will have to cooperate with a lot of android apps.

  Only yesterday I visited the Ubuntu Store and downloaded a few apps. One I find great is the facebook app in there. It is so much better than the face book basic option in the Open Store. We really need to get all the apps in the Ubuntu Store over to the Open Store.

  @altr0n I managed to get my own kernel compiled, the issue was that I did not have a console argument specified that I needed (I founded it on another post here) console=tty0 Needed to be added to my kernel command line args. Hope this is useful to someone in the future!

  Thank you to everyone who has submitted feedback in this topic. I've just run through it and noted almost all of the possible (AKA: would not require a UX redesign or other major overhauls) enhancements we could make to the OS. This was partially so that I had something to calm me down after the day, partially because I wanted to try my new note-scanner app on my freedom-hating phone. As you can see, Bluetooth got the most mentions in this thread, closely followed by adding the cursor movement in the on-screen keyboard. Let's see what we can do to get that rolling. Please excuse my manuscript.

  @sverzegnassi , one problem i have after trying this development version of the file manager is that both *.mp4 and *.MOV files are played back heavily in pink color after installing it, and the problem does not go away when i uninstalling it either. I posted about it here as well, https://forums.ubports.com/topic/600/cannot-play-the-old-mov-made-by-the-canonical-image/4 , but did not get any suggestions on how to fix it. Do you have any ideas what went wrong and how to fix it?

  @Galaxia said in Daily usable ?: The only thing not working consistently is mobile data on ATT network. Once the phones manages to establish a mobile data connection it works great, but as soon as the phone stops using data, the connection silently drops. I have to toggle Cellular data on/off a bunch of times to get it working again. Weird. I'm on AT&T (well, Red Pocket, AT&T network) and I believe I've seen what you're seeing, but only rarely--under the hood it appears to be an issue with the default network metric. But I can go for days jumping to cell and back to wifi at various locations without seeing it, whereas it sounds like it's biting you every time.

  Ok, dug through the source to obports-installer, looks like most of the goodies hang off of: https://system-image.ubports.com In particular: https://system-image.ubports.com/ubports-touch/16.04/devel/hammerhead/index.json which tells you where to get bits for various versions. The latest, currently 72, says that there's bits at : /pool/device-e34756d822387fa9371568fa42292f8baf76d79ec7f2cee0f5c002b909dc08f5.delta-device-cc610cfc131187e182588a0f9c7c5c23ba769679708a4ba08b16878f4e93c101.tar.xz which, once you pull it and "xzcat device-e3* | tar -xvf -" will give you boot, recovery, and system img files. I booted just to the bootloader and fastboot flash'ed those partitions, and my phone still boots OK. So I guess I'm at least sorta on the right track....

  Hmmm its quite funny that our nexus 5 is a bluetooth speaker for other phones xd. But ive have send a file. Just turn off on other phone music streamming to your nexus, an then use program, bluetooth file transfer. In this way i could send files to other phone. Not tested it in back way, i mean send file to nexus 5. U can do this and inform us :D. It should work, you can read this feature in app.

  @grepo I thought I'd installed UBPorts using the magic-device-tool method - but if I see OS build number: OTA-15, does that mean it didn't work? I'm also using a BQ E4.5 EDIT: I used the system-image server method and it has now installed correctly. The magic-device-tool doesn't seem to work properly?
