            @xray2000 Ok. Thanks for all the info. Not especially for me but for everyone who want a Redmi note 7 any advice or unlocking procedure will always be appreciated.

            Therefore, the unlocking procedure imposes to create an account and to provide personal data (tel, mail..) which go to China?!! Is that right ?

                Hello, first of all I would like to thank you for being able to answer our questions, it's very nice to be able to share directly with the team responsible for this OS, I don't remember having seen that elsewhere, bravo.

                I have 2 questions :

                1. I see Halium 7.1 for Oneplus One is ongoing as a test. As both Oneplus One and Nexus 5 have mostly same hardware, do you think you can port Halium 7.1 to the Nexus 5 ? Or is there any blocking point preventing to do it, and so what is the issue please ?

                2. Do you intend to integrate a canvas fingerprint blocker in Morph browser ? Here is a link from the source code of a Qt web browser called qutebrowser that could implement this function, what do you think ?

                Thank you very much !

                    @prog-amateur Yes Halium 7.1 port for N5 is rather far, but a few blockers remain. PM me if you want to help πŸ˜‰

                      @Rondarius @Flohack : Well, sorry I should have dug a little deeper, the good news is that my N5 has halium 7.1 hehe !

                      EDIT : I add another question, therefore, I recapitulate my two questions :

                      1. Do you intend to integrate a canvas fingerprint blocker in Morph browser ? Here is a link from the source code of a Qt web browser called qutebrowser that could implement this function, what do you think ?

                      2. When I received my Nexus 5, I have tested all features in Android (Wifi, data, GPS, mic, etc.), then I have installed Ubuntu Touch. I searched on the forum why First Fix GPS take so long (several minutes compared to ~3 seconds on Android), and I saw here and there that A-GPS is not used in Ubuntu Touch, only GPS is used, however the purpose is missing. Therefore my second question is : is there any reason why A-GPS is not used (too complicated to implement, or architecture incompatibility, or license issue) ?

                      Thank you again

                        On the PinePhone there are 4 update channels, the 3 usual plus the kernelupgrade channel.

                        • Which channel has the latest development packages? I'm especially interested in the kernel and ofono upgrades that were talked about in Q&A 98 on 10 April which will provide a more stable cellular modem connection.

                        • Where can we see package (kernel,ofono) changes as there is little activity in gitlab?

                        Thanks to all of the UBports contributors.

                          @prog-amateur Sorry for resurrecting this old thread but I had to answer this.

                          A-GPS is very risky in terms of privacy as the technologies we have today can easily point out your XYZ axes when current locations services are used.

                          supl.google.com is almost always included in the implementation of A-GPS. There used to be Nokia and Sony Ericsson and we all know what happened to them. Even other supl servers are already owned by Google.

                          So yeah, not having A-GPS is good enough for me. TTFF will take time to get a good GPS signal but the next fix will be much quicker.
