Dekko 2 doesn't like my pro5. I have been going through trying everthing I can think of on r/c and now on devel,all seems smooth,so far. I do not have a sim card in it, so I cant help there.

@Marathon2422 totally agree. That was along my thoughts.

I wish to commend the Ubports team, as well as the community, for the sterling work done in OTA 2. However, after upgrading I do have the updated boot spinner only the UT boot. Also, there is no flaslight toggle in the battery indicator. Meizu Pro 5.

@UniSuperBox Just to let you know my paypal payment is still showing as pending in my account. Will wait to see if it comes back to me then will try again.

@Tobisch No its all done via the PC. Install the magic device tool on the PC and use the terminal. Look up the magic device tool pages on git hub or in your PC browser and all you need comes up. All other system and app update come straight through to your device.

I agree that IBM have done a lot to allow 3rd parties in, and also Microsoft have done a lot to simplify for us developers. Same there though, i'm not a Microsoft fan either. Nevertheless, i also think that people developing for phones exaggerate how bad it is on phones. There are a lot of similarities between phones as well. Many use the same soc:s and probably also are based on the same development kits. Displays are also many times very similar although different brands, I think probably the baseband is the most difficult part, which is quite essential on a phone of course, but hopefully not all the drivers would have to be closed in one big blob the way it is now. I guess it's fair to say that this is all goes into kind of defacto standards, which makes it essentially different from the PC, but i do think it is possible benefit a lot by focusing on the similarities.

@UKPhil said in Original devices: You never know we may be lucky enough one day for both phones to be moved to the core list and then the fun can begin. I also have a E4.5, but for sure, this will never happen, because those devices don't have enough power to handle what is needed. The devices don't have HDMI out. The RAM is way to small for having a smooth running system with full convergence. The processor is so slow, that it can not be used with a decent workflow. It's just impossible to use those devices, for that what UBports can do all. Something like, you will use a "Pentium 1" PC with 512 MB RAM and install Ubuntu 17.04. Well, there will be no fun

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?

FRENCH Ok, merci pour vos réponses. Je vais acheter le nexus et installer ubports dessus Et si cela ne marche pas je remettrai android ENGLISH Ok, thank you for your answers. I will buy the nexus and install ubports on And if that does not work I will give android

@Teigneux FRENCH 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

@simplicissimax said in What are must have apps? Things you can do: @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 Start reading here: https://gurucubano.gitbooks.io/bq-aquaris-e-4-5-ubuntu-phone/content/en/chapter27.html

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...
