and the users decide 🙂
if they dont like it, they can create there private websites on the net, or there join the telegram group. there are a lot of oportunities to join and with hard fair workload on it, you have your success. 🙂
the forum is comunity-driven. thats means there are a little number of people work hard in private spare time, to run the forum on pcs. if there are a lot of ubport- users want new stuff on it, they come together and than....its a question of workload, who will support it, who will pay for the changes.. so if you wish changes, find people, make ideas, wrote them down, delight people about your idea, make them enthusiastic about your idea, go viral about your idea, have fate and trust in it...evolve/ develope your idea with the comunity......so become a true patrone 🙂

@Marathon2422 Oh yes I remember this and it happened more on my E5 than the tablet. I raised a bug report for this, but it was never addressed and later I realised why.

Please open a bug in Github on UBport´s file-manager-app 🙂

Thx!

Hello,

Always a concern in the length of the boot of the tablet M10 3 minutes. 😭
-Video Player now reads MP4 and AVI files I get the update well, excelent work thanks

The week has passed, and we are going to the 2nd step - the design plan!

The idea got little attention or eagerness to develop within ubports. But idea lives on. It received some good comments, and nobody said its bad. It gives me some confidence. I decided to work on to develop it. Everything will be done in the open. If you want to get in touch or follow the news, go to our new site http://collaborationplatform.eu

How does Ubuntu Touch render emoji? Does it use the CBDT/CBLC color font format (like NotoColorEmoji.ttf from Android) or SVG in Open Type font format (like the EmojiOne Color SVGinOT Font)?

EDIT: it looks like it uses the CBDT/CBLC color font format like Android. This poses an aditional challenge, license wise when the world moves on to Unicode 10, since EmojiOne is no longer free. Hopefully by then there are libre alternatives (that aren't the horrible Android O emoji). I also hope to have the time to contribute to this, but CBDT/CBLC fonts are harder to compile than SVGinOT fonts, for what I've seen.

The Noto Emoji project is Apache 2.0 for the color emoji. If Ubuntu Touch uses SVGinOT Fonts, it's perfectly possible to fork Noto Emoji and convert it to SVGinOT and still retain the license (the B&W emoji are rendered on the fly from the color ones while compiling the font file). If the Apache 2.0 license is suitable for you guys, I don't mind setting up a repo to provide the SVGinOT font with Google's blob emoji from Android 4.4 while being Unicode 9 compilant (for the most part, because country flags and the rainbow flag (at least) are currently missing from the Noto project: I hope google updates it in the short term though, hopefully before updating to the horrible Android O design).

Another thing to take into account for Emojitwo is the transition to Unicode 10 and beyond. In the case of the Noto project, Google provides the updates under the Apache 2.0 License (which can be adapted afterwards), while in the case of Emojitwo those updates will have to be designed from the ground up, since they can't be forked from future updates of EmojiOne anymore).

@Talkless The devices page is still under reconstruction to adopt new and shiny design of ubports.com. The content will be updated soon.

[Edit] Done. 🙂

what shall I do as a ut user, to continue using my phone? Do I need to do anything? Have a MX4.

To just add to Neos quote: Please understand that we were completely surprised by Canonical and that the StationDock is far less important now than to have a phone at all... I think if you already donated an amount and you really don´t want it to be used for the core OS development, the server infrastructure or the huge task of keeping the images fresh and correctly built, you could ask for reimbursement.

@Leppa We are currently building a list of apps in 3 categories:

Core Apps Clock, Calendar, Notes, etc... System Apps Openstore, Settings, etc...

Other important Apps
Dekko, uNav, ...

and probably most of 1) will be in our images. But all of them will be in the openstore for sure!

will depend on the support of the original authors, if they want to have it there or not.

Hold on for the list, we are finishing that. And oh by the way, Apps are not our priority right now 😉

@lduboeuf We wrote a blog post about that here: https://blog.ubports.com/2017/04/26/a-resolution-to-agree-on.html

@Donhammer @Bastos We are already accepting Bitcoin donations. You can currently find addresses for individual devices on https://devices.ubports.com/#/. This was placed this way because of the original purpose of UBports but might change soon. We are still working on a website redesign and will try to make Bitcoin donations a little easier and better documented.

Well it will depend a little bit where the code is hosted. I can imagine that if code stays on Launchpad, also bug reporting will be there, if some parts are shifted to Github, we will also move the bug reporting. Currently I have no global answer for that.

Do we still want to make Mir run on top of Wayland, if Canonical is going to keep working on Mir ?
So the end goal is running directly on top of Wayland ?
What's the option for Meizu Pro 5, if we can't get the Android source ? Is having someone Reverse Engineering the binary blobs an option ? That seems a better long-term solution...

Maybe a FAQ could be a good idea ?

I run unofficial LineageOS 14+ (formerly Cyanogenmod) on my device, a Samsung Tab S 8.4 LTE.

I have searched many hours over many years through untold XDA forums in regards to Ubuntu Touch but with the latest Unity8 news, there might be more hope for modifying the kernel (like Linuxium does for Baytrail tablets) to run full fledged Ubuntu but alas I have never found it. Android just works too well for the demands involved in doing so.

Technically from what I have scoured, the biggest hurdle is related to what is described as the lack ability to do a mount loop. There are a few poorly recorded YouTube videos but with zero documentation, years old now.

I was extremely happy to see the Note 2 being listed on UBports as a potential device...but I don't think it suffers the same issue as the Tabs.
