  The docs you mentioned are about installing anbox on desktop PCs. You need to follow this specific instructions: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/anbox.html

  @halucigenia No, as given that the USB isn't working, you wouldn't be able to flash Android on it either, so the MultiROM hack would not be helpful (and flashing Android would replace the current UT install completely). With some manual hacking on the device itself, if you can SSH to it, though, it might be possible to do the switch to UBports images, directly. If USB is bad though, does the device still charge?

  @vladest Well, it depends on how you define workspace. Using the official slack API it is necessary to create a "slack app" in a workspace you want to connect to. With the app token, you will then be able to log into the slack RT API and the Web API into this workspace. You cannot switch workspaces to have a general client to connect to different workspaces the slack app is bound to the workspace it is created for.

  The existing port for Moto G 2014 is not halium based. It is ported like all the other working devices. The port is from early 2018.

  @advocatux said in Who thought of the name 'Yumi' as the UT robot mascot?: @Opolork Joe & Wayne dubbed our mascot in one of their UTAs. Yumi stands for "you and me", and it keeps the same spirit than the word "ubuntu" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_philosophy) Gotcha. Thanks, advocatux.

  What do you mean by "desktop" here exactly? If you mean the black bar of stacked icons on the left, that is the launcher. You can pin apps to the launcher by long pressing on them while they are running, and un-pin similarly. Running apps always appear there, and you can tap on the icons to switch. The app spread is what you get with the long swipe from the right, showing the live previews of apps. This is basically the same as when you press Alt+Tab on a PC to switch between apps/windows. Scopes are special and no you can't close the dash application, however in a future update the scopes will be going away completely. The replacement for the apps scope (where you currently launch applications), is the app drawer, which will be opened with long swipe from left, or by tapping the big logo button on the launcher.

  It does seem to me though that there is a steady stream of people asking for help with porting devices... Perhaps that seems like a negative thing - UT is a struggle to get working for some - but on the other hand it shows that a significant number of people are interested enough to give it a go.

  @jujubala1997 said in Help the community: Where do I start? What are barriers that impede UT from spreading? What should I learn in software to help the community? Depends your area of interest and confort : community, system, porting, coding, Art etc... and you don't even need to be good or educated in that field, like me just learning by tweaking. Python wise they are several possibilities : full applications : https://github.com/ernesst/ActivityTracker Wrapper : https://framagit.org/ernesst/MLS-for-Utouch / https://framagit.org/ernesst/gps-utouch-tracker Python get integrated into QML via : https://github.com/thp/pyotherside A very nice python lib would be great to integrate into Utouch : https://github.com/owncloud/pyocclient for Nextcloud/Owncloud. Welcome in the community.

  Morph-browser has everything to become an excellent browser. There has already been a lot of very good work done on it by Chris Clime alias Balcy. I recognize this even if many bugs are still very disturbing for me (and others i suppose) for a daily use. I don't think it's worth going elsewhere, but rather to focus on it so that it matures as quickly as possible. Developers who are available and have the skills should rather help Chris because morph is (surely) a big piece for a person almost alone in this task. Congratulations to him.

  All, in order to help, I've create a wrapper in python which scan wifi and gps position. It's not the most userfriendly, but quite simple to use and can run in background too if the terminal is set for it. Please test and let me know. https://framagit.org/ernesst/MLS-for-Utouch/tree/master Note : Upload to MLS is done automatically when the app is closed by a Ctrl+C and phone connected to internet. No parallel use with Unav or Activity Tracker test has been properly done yet Only tested with Nexus 5, if fail with other device, please create a bug. If anybody know how to list cells tower around the device, please let me know. So far all the ofono script doesn't allow that Further implementation : If this script is able to run in background without disturbing user apps, would be interesting to add a on/off button in the GPS menu.
