    @hankschwie hi mate, so at long last the latest update has sorted the reboot problem - this is version 280 of Ubuntu 24.04 as of 26/06/2025. I don't know about Fairfax phones but have a Gigaset GS5 which I used the Vollaphone 22 with new screen install. Phone works, Ubuntu works, and now Waydroid is back..... These folks are truly amazing

    @hudson It is explained here: https://wiki.ubports.com/wiki/Release-Channels I think from what you show you are in 15.04/stable, but you can confirm it with the instructions in that page.

    Hopefully the fix for the different version numbers will be implemented soon and both will marry up, as this clearly is creating confusion for users. It would be good if apps were uninstalled via the old Ubuntu Store method as that is clean and easy and it is a known method now.

    @sverzegnassi The new UX default Scope / screen mockup looks very nice. Nonetheless, even though that the Scopes idea will be dumped, I would expect that we would like to show at least same information as before on the UX default screen. Meaning we will keep the function code of the Scopes and will throw away the UX parts. So, when would you expect to get the new UX default screen running? How would we migrate from the Scopes to the new screen causing as less as possible loss of functionality (since at least IMHO some of the functionality of the scopes is really helpful)?

    @UKPhil Thanks for your answer, if I read your comment I should be a lucky guy with a running ubports on my BQ M10 FHD... I've flashed my device by using my desktop-pc with ubuntu 16.04. LTS, a usb-cable und the "magic-device-tool". There was no problem, it works perfekt. Wipe and upload the image to the device without any trouble. I am really happy, because I am only a User and I don't understand what is happening behind the GUI ! When I start the device the first screen is the white screen "BQ powered by ubuntu" and it takes more than 2 minutes before the ubports-screen comes up. From this time the device boots quickly forward... The OS ist ubports ubuntu 15.04 r1 By the way, it's the first time I am using a forum and post something, perhaps can your remove my posting to the right place...

    @Eureka I believe "mr_nice_guy" is a generic name for a user. Use your actual username for this. On the other hand if you are running this within Ubuntu you don't need to create a container, you should use the other set of instructions without creating a container.

    Since a couple of days ago I'm having issues with GPS in my Nexus 5. Whenever I try to use uNav, after I tell it to get the location, a black screen appears with "GPS access disabled". GPS is enabled. Also: the GPS indicator is always full white, even if I disable GPS. Curiously it was working perfectly only two or three days ago, and I haven't received any updates or changed anything in my settings AFAICT I'm on 15.04/rc.

    Many errors on Backup (BQ Aquaris E4.5)

    I tried the tool, and I think despite those errors it manages to back up all that is possible to back up. For instance wifi passwords and some configurations will not be backed up. These errors come from some symbolic links that rsync is not able to copy. On the other hand this backup is not related with the actual flashing of the device, it is just a copy of your home folder in the old device and then you can restore it into your flash device. Once you reinstall all your old applications (this is not backed up either) you should recover almost everything from your old device.

    Hello. First, you can use the sidebar to place links to apps that matter and order them as you'd like. Then you can use the gerk tools to choose the favorite apps that will appear in the top of the list. Finally there was the 'app' scope that I do not know if it is currently available because I do not personally use it. G

    Thanks all that fits with what I'm getting, so the phone is fine. Also UT looks and feels to work better on the nexus than my bq5. A bit subjective I know but enjoying using itit again now. Much better than the mx4. A big thanks one and all for the work so far.

    I was going to say that via Ubuntu may be better. I ported my E5 using Ubuntu and the magic-device-tool and there was no issues at all. To tell you the truth, I was pleasantly surprised at how much of a smooth process it was. A great little terminal tool.
