How awesome is the edge channel?

@ddabrahim While I can understand the reasoning the problem with cheap devices is that we have 90% no way of re-compiling the parts we need to make the hardware work. We need a few basic bits to be available in source code, and then the whole vendor tree as closed source. If you find a cheap Chinese phone with a good LineageOS port (official) then we might try. Everything what is unofficially ported to LineageOS may break or cost us hundreds of hours. This is not really efficient. There is a reason why they are cheap. They are not meant to be modded. BR

@alexander Xda forum has info on how they unlocked the bootloader for pro5. Maybe there is more info on there. Also it depends on your comfort level.

Today I tried to listen to the latest Wayne and Joe audiocast using my M10 vivid tablet. Again the audio was distorted by a terrible vibrato. I then tried listening via the UT browser on the tablet. Still the distortion persisted. I then tried listening via firefox on my netbook and the audio was fine. Do other UT M10 tablet users also have this problem? Someone previously suggested that this may be an android audio driver problem. BTW, I don't have this problem with ogg, mp3, mp4, youtube, etc. If it is an android audio driver issue, is it likely to be updated in the future?

@hummlbach So as to go more confortably on Xenial, I think it is vital enough to have an e-mail client fully (or the more fully) operational. So ** thank you ** very much for the apport of all developers work on Xenial dekko 2.

@ukphil Well, not about Tor Browser as in the title, but VPN problems as mentioned here. The UBPorts/Ubuntu Touch NetworkManager password bug could cost you many, many hours and nerves. So have a look at https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/46 (mentioned in another post, if you're searching for 'VPN' here, as well). Read the first 4 lines of the first post – from member NeoTheThird – and the last 9. ;) Do the job as described there, perhaps you need to study https://ubports.com/de_DE/blog/ubports-blog-1/post/terminal-chapter-1-113 as well: "To login as superuser, type: $ sudo - i and your password To COPY or PASTE: hold your finger on the screen until the contextual menu appears To SCROLL the window UP or DOWN: use two fingers and swipe To select a layout, press and hold the square icon on the bottom left side. You'll see the options. Slide the finger to the desired one. [Nano] Gnu Nano: shortcuts keys for, in this order, help, save, read, previous page, cut text, position, exit, indentation, search, next page, paste text, spellcheck: CTRL+G, CTRL+O, CTRL+R, CTRL+Y, CTRL+K, CTRL+C, CTRL+X, CTRL+J, CTRL+W, CTRL+V, CTRL+U, CTRL+T"

Ah, I see that it's probably better to fix the problem in Crossbuilder than invent a new way to do all of this... Looks like some work is going on on the front. I'll see if I can look up any more information on it and come back to this.

So i have good news here! So after last thing got pushed for OTA4, i got more time to work on this, and I got some progress! after merging upstream and some more hacking I have got it working on qcom devices! It will still take time to be something usable for daily use, but i will push some test images this week. After OTA4 is out we will put more work into making anbox smooth and ready for daily driving.

I sustain the edge channel @alan_g for a variety of reasons: We are a small team, we cannot guarantee that things being pushed will not break the entire image. We lack auto and manual testing a lot, we cannot work with silos etc. For some scenarios its very cumbersome to having install various packages from various branches at the same time to the phone devel has become actually quite a "stable devel" and we want to keep it as described for the changes where we are sure that they will not break the whole image. People should not expect having to reflash their phones after a devel channel update going wrong. This channel will not be on the phone for people to "just switch" to it. I do not see much issues with yet another channel coming for devs, the low-level devs will use it, but middleware/Ui etc can stay on devel probably. BR

I have to correct my first guess here: Its not an issue with oxide not displaying html mails. The problem is with multi part emails: The library involved there is qt-messaging-framework. Somehow it returns 0 bytes for the parts of multi part emails on xenial. Could be an issue with qmf but could also be something else... (maybe dbus, unclear up to now...) Any experience with would be welcome!

I have this USB 3.0 hub / network adapter combo. It appears to use the fairly standard r8152 driver. I tested using it on the Fairphone 2, Nexus 5, and Nexus 7 2013 WiFi. These were the steps I used to make it work: Plug it in That is it. Unfortunately, there is no interface built in to Ubuntu Touch for managing wired Ethernet devices. However, a network with DHCP should connect with no issues whatsoever if you have a fairly standard Ethernet adapter. Are you having any issues with your setup?

@advocatux You are right about the other Google apps,they keep track of you and,put the pieces of info back together later. So much better soon,with good,email,browser,and so on,a lot of banking and that type of thing can be done thru a browser. Keep up the good work,and thank you

@flohack said in [HowTo][Convergence]Use a simulated miracast sink for testing convergence: @doniks Miracast is per definition not possible over "normal" WiFi, thats why most people had only success with the Microsoft Miracast stick. That seems to be still the most compatible one... BR FYI, a miracast presentation. Some of it went over my head, but might have some helpful technical details https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53v11JTf4U8

@dtarrant : Yesss ! Happy for you Best regards Pulsar33

@ziggutas you can follow the ongoing effort to compile Dekko2 for xenial here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1477/dekko2-developer-community-thread/25 and here https://gitlab.com/dekkoproject/dekko/issues/ P.S. I'm using webmail until Dekko2 is ready ;)

@markalexa What this means for you, if you really don't want to go back to Android, and the camera function is important to you, is to "downgrade" back to 15.04 until OTA-5 comes out.

@pomilui If you are in USA. Ting then straight talk, freedom pop does not work with ubuntu
