Hi, first of all thank you for your amazing work!

Is there any update about the UBports Foundation? Thank you

My question is this:

-¿Could Ubuntu Touch take less space on the internal memory of the phones? I believe that a lot of phones nowadays could enjoy more of Ubuntu if there are more space for apps (Android GO phones, for example).

EDIT: I add a second question. I'm porting UBPorts, with Halium, in a new device (Motorola Moto E 4G 2015 aka surnia) and my rootfs won't flash properly because of the limited space in /data. What is the best method of partition resizing for low internal memory phones without possibility of change partitions on flashing?

@advocatux Sadly for me at least no. uNav seems to say I am currently at my university while I am actually at home about 3 to 5 miles away.

I have tried to use the gps in town also but sadly never works either.

Just thought I would mention it. Thanks.

@that_rin have you checked with sensorsstatus app how your gps is working?

Start that app [*], use a good spot for your device to "see" the satellites, and wait for a while.

@advocatux Sensory app says "source has no error'. Mentions lat and longitude, and method satellite.

Sadly it always says I am at my university versus where I am actually somewhere else. Also cleared up my cache with ut tweek tool to see if it does anything sadly same issue.

Thanks. Sorry if I am spamming here.

@that_rin yes, maybe we should talk about this in Support

Anyway, if you leave sensorsstatus running for a while, does the "Horizontal accuracy" change?

I need to wait sometimes 5 minutes or more to see it getting more accurate.

@impreza233, could you post your question in the porting subforum so more people are able to benefit from the answer?

impreza233 · 29 Sept 2018, 20:51

Yes, no problem, @UniSuperBox

@advocatux I realize that there is an existing ticket for this issue. But does that mean it is guaranteed to be fixed for OTA-5? Is there someone working to fix it? I guess it doesn't seem very clear that there is anything happening with that ticket.

Hi @UniSuperBox,
In the last Q&A you mentioned that you'd still like to garner artwork. Can you publish a URL for us to upload to. Thanks

advocatux · 4 Oct 2018, 18:07

@vlladdrakk I don't know if I can say as much as "guaranteed" but it's targeted for OTA-5, people are working on that issue and, yes, it should be fixed when that OTA is released

vlladdrakk · 4 Oct 2018, 20:39

@advocatux Great! thanks for the info

@3arn0wl

I don't have one in particular. We're using the parts from the 16.04 showcase. At the moment I think we've got a great roundup (including your submissions). Might you have your ringtones in .ogg format, maybe?

A Former User · 5 Oct 2018, 06:58

Hi @unisuperbox,

D'oh I obviously misunderstood what you were saying. Sorry.

I can easily provide them in .ogg. Where should I send them?

UniSuperBox · 5 Oct 2018, 14:03

@3arn0wl I'll PM you a link
