i know that some ,do keep their own ,backups like this, i guess it depends which device and if someone has a copy with no personal info on it

I am still looking forward to a redshift / flux / night shift / blue light filter feature (I see some progress was made in that direction)

Well, I'm glad to read that Ubuntu Touch takes privacy more seriously than does iOS. I've never used iOS nor do I plan to. OTOH, I did make a build of LineageOS 14.1 for the Nexus 5, to try it, and I will say, that it: offered to encrypt the entire phone if I so chose, and... gave the option of disallowing any apps that exceeded certain specified access settings (granted, I can't recall the exact settings it specified, but I do recall it giving some such option -- which I did take and which did not limit the basic functionality of the phone). I haven't yet seen anything close to this from Ubuntu Touch.

Thank you, @MarkG_108. You're helping us make this all happen.

@WLBI said in Other uses for Convergence, presenter mode?: Everything is Web-Apps... But why using an web-app? Actually I can open any website in the browser, so I don't need extra app. Because webapps are confined browser instances, so profile data is not shared between them, and security issues and malware JavaScript from one site can't steal your cookies/data stored from another site in this case. Complaining to us that WhatsApp/Twitter/Snapchat/whatever don't provide native apps, doesn't change anything though. We can't fix their proprietary services to integrate properly with UT. We can make webapps and do some additional integration work to make using the web site nicer and feel more native on UT, though. If the native apps don't exist that you need, then it's best to ask the services you require to provide those apps, or try to develop alternatives. There's only a few of us working in our spare time on UT, and we can't build an OS and write all possible apps people might need, ourselves. We need people helping to do that. So feel free to help.

will test and report, thanks works like charm, thansk you!

@utouchuser Agreed.

@utouchuser You could make webapp click packages instead, for web sites you use frequently. This way, each web site will be run in its own confined browser instance with its own separate profile. This way, malicious javascript could not read data for other sites you use, for example, since the config would be a different browser profile on disk, in a different directory, which cannot be accessed.

Yes this thread is far to old. Please post a new thread in Off Topic. Most people will miss this a new topic would be better.

your are right, exactly what i was looking for. hope it gets implemented in a future release

Yeah obviously the FP2 has a lot of problems of its own, that are definitely not specific to UT, and be not mistaken, I had a great experience with this OS and am not reverting to Android; it's just that pooky asked about the FP2, and here is its current state of porting ^^

@arubislander, All update options (system update and ubports-installer) are interrupted at the firmware installation stage (ubuntu touch logo and line installation indicator), except one-manual installation via TWRP. To update the device I have to download separately the firmware and run the installer in TWRP environment. Is there a link to new releases of updated ubports firmware where I could download it and install manually?

@air409 Please repost this as a new question in the support section. This is and old thread and really just for Q&A42 so will be missed by many who it may help as well

Hello. Maybe you want to take a look at this section of the docs where you can find some areas you can help with. Basically, depends on you skills and interest. You can bug-hunt, translate, fix bugs, create a cool app, talk about the OS, write posts and spread the word, ...

Well, I basically never use "office" tools so for me, none of those things are necessary. LibreOffice is not a converged application, so it would not be ideal for such work. Web office tools such as Google Docs/Sheets/etc… should all work well in the browser though. If LibreOffice is a requirement for you and there are some problems, please report specific issues for the different problems, in GitHub. Libertine is an experimental feature to enable the use of legacy applications. It is not feature complete or 100% stable. Native converged apps will always give a better experience than legacy apps. If things are "missing" to be a "complete office workstation" then the best thing to do would be to work on writing properly converged native applications to fill those gaps.

@dad_and_alive Yes, I shall do that. I was hoping there was an app or something built in somewhere to tell you your battery capacity. I have one from lineageos or android or something. Might have just been fun to see numbers.
