        Hello.

        In Q&A 143 you tried to answer my question a search was done, but after you forgot about it. The question was:

        Hi, in some recent Q&A, there was a mention about Focal working on FP2. I've checked OTA updates on the phone (I'm on rc), but there is no update to Focal. When is it planned to roll out? Thanks.

        The recent Q&A, I'm talking about in the question is Q&A 139 and the mention was:

        Fairphone 2
        Flo reported that Focal is at last working on FP2. It is still a very dated device and there will not be any stunning performance improvement. For those whose top concern is sustainability, it is however a great example of how the latest UT can run on ancient hardware. Thanks to Mohammed for persisting with this work. Nexus 5 may follow but that hardware really is showing its age.

        Could you say more about focal on FP2, please?

        Thanks.

          Hello,

          Will it be possible to use the Alfred's browser engine instead of QtWebengine to create webapps for UT ?

          Thanks

            Hi pals, two questions:

            1. Has anyone heard from a company called SageTea, who "makes" something called the Xfone? Do they contribute to Ubports in any way, or just sell phones that they load with Ubuntu Touch?

            2. Are you all aware that there are wild standing ovations going on all over the place when, for example, Marius talks of progress on VoLTE and 5G, Alfred talks of WebKit and Snaps progress, AppLee bravely starts hosting a Q&A show solo, Lionel revamps Contacts, etc? Often you announce very major things and I hope you know how enthusiastically they are received. Thanks a lot for what you do!

              We are aware of the company, yes. As far as I know there is no formal relationship between the UBports Foundation and this company. (One of) The founder(s) has been active in the Telegram groups in the past.

                Can the UBports recovery install custom Android ROMs?

                    Hi @wally

                    Sorry I didn't see your question before the show.

                    We did not see any contribution from SageTea.
                    And there is no official ties between the UBports foundation and this company.

                    Thanks for your feedback. Hopefully you'll be able to witness and test those features sooner than later.
                    Ratchanan announced OTA5 which will be on Focal. Hopefully the next one will come soon and should be with Noble.

                    Thanks again for your kind words.

                        @jezek I guess you've found the answer by now, right? Just in case, I noticed today that there is a channel 16.04 for FP2 in the Ubuntu Installer, and a utnext channel as well. ๐Ÿ™‚

                          @oli.sax wow, this is great... i see a 20.04 devel* entry in update channel settings. I make a notice to test it. Thanks for reaching out to me.

                          *) I see it in slovak language, as "20.04 Reลพim vรฝvojรกra".
