I have some question as well 😛

Are you planning to relax the app confinement™ rules a bit, so that apps e.g. can save files in /home/phablet/Pictures? Could we expect some minor change to the design of some UI components (e.g. buttons)? Huh, yeah... I've heard there has been some discussion about a new home screen at the UbuCon@Paris. Is it true? 😆

Oui, c'est exactement ça. En espérant que BQ accept

ENGLISH
Yes, that's it. Hoping that BQ would accept

@klowe You should ask this in the telegram group of the magic-device-tool maintainer. This tool is not maintained by uBports. You can reach that group at https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAAiC4TTYHRddjUbpXg

@guru Thank you for your reply! I'm afraid I don't have experience with chroot, but what I have read sounds promising 🙂 Some questions remain, but I feel I should gain some experience before asking them here. I will experiment with this 🙂

I for one would be happy to see a BQ phone being supported going forward. The new BQ Aquaris phones seem good to me. With prices ranging from E170 to E340 and Qualcomm Snapdragon processors too. I have had my E4.5 for what seems like an age now. I remember waiting for the flash sales, that was truly a frustrating way to get to buy a phone. I got one eventually and have used it everyday since. If I could buy a new BQ phone with Ubuntu Touch I'd buy it immediately. I don't really care too much about convergence I use Ubuntu 16.04 LTE at home and I have put an SSD in my corporate machine at work with it on too (shhhh, don't tell the IT Technical services team 🙂 . Good file syncing will do at this point.

Thank you

@UniSuperBox ok, thanks.

@UniSuperBox said in I need help reorganizing the Wiki:

@NeoTheThird has been working on getting some App Development

It's very rough yet and much of it is outdated, but if someone is interested in fixing some broken links or update some content, knock yourself out 😉 I'm not territorial about this.

@WLBI AFAIK they always read all the questions and answered it.

Yes. I use it since weeks and it is reliable...

Look on the forum SUPPORT
and then. DESKTOP APPS

@MariusQuabeck yea thanks

@WLBI you're welcome!

@Burak you're on the stable channel and "Ubuntu 15.04 (r1)" is the last OTA for now, but there are release candidate, and devel channels too.

Check out the wiki article I written about it:

@RandomUser I'm moving this discussion to the Support forum on a new thread, as I think it got off topic here.

@vandys Of course andbox never can be come a mandatory part of the system, it is just a sandbox, if it ever works, to run non-native applications. Like Wine in Linux, it you need an Android app for your job and you can run it in andbox you may carry a UT phone around, otherwise maybe you can't, unless you run around with two phones. But I would never advocate to make apk executable files native in UT.
