Help testing new legacy image
-
@NeoTheThird Thanks for info! Based on my experience, the fingerprint unlock of PRO5 (and its stability with UT) is the almost representative feature (the wooow factor) next to Scope design. Android AOSP ROMs have very, very unstable fingerprint unlock - I think, they can not use original, Flyme driver/solution (?).
I am looking forward the Ubports news, I need a little push to switch back to UT...

Any word on the M10 FHD image?
-
I flashed the M10 fhd ok got a warning about not able to format cache.
Did this manually ok and currently running with no major issues. -
@darkeye is the ES1980 DAC enabled so that the headphone volume now is OK?
And how about Bluetooth, is it still interrupting or is it now working?
Would be super if you could also post some screenshot on the new scopes!Thanks
Lars

@zsoltmd me to... Running cm 14.1 now and would like to have Bluetooth, HiFi headphone and g apps possibility before switching back...

My BQ E5 just upgraded to the legacy image revision 2. Everything looks fine. The only thing I noticed is that after rebooting the Telegram application had been removed, I reinstalled it and everything looks fine.

Hello Dermot mckay,
What procedure did you do for the M10? I am currently on M10 UT and I will have tried the UBports.
Thank you -
@Locamama Hey there, sorry, my french is very bad, so i can only answer you in english. There are instructions here: https://wiki.ubports.com/wiki/How-to-flash-existing-ubuntu-touch-devices-with-Ubports-images

I just tested Ubports image for Pro 5, revision=2, works great apart from the Bluetooth bug. Will test the mobile network drops if appears as well.
I have to say I'm impressed how you managed to ubuntu-device-flash to work as previously with Ubuntu server I couldn't flash it as it always refused to flash either in bootloader or recovery mode. Thank you.
Hope you find the fix for the bluetooth and other bugs.
Will test it and if any new bugs found, I'll report on them...There seems to be a problem with phone overheating while browsing the net on mobile connection(4g, H) and also on wifi. The same problem was reported on original Ubuntu image. Nothing else makes the phone hot, only browsing the net. And it's eating a lot of battery therefore.
Apart from that, there was nothing else spotted, all running well, not a single crash.crash.

@GIEMME migrate today to ubports legacy image. Followed instruction here . And worked better than before
-
@lduboeuf Thank you. I have already flashed my old BQ4.5 (with broken screen) and it was easy.
Just one question: can I download DEKKO (which is not present in the Open Store) after flash?
For me it is a fundamental application. -
@GIEMME you can download it from Ubuntu Store as is still present there.
-
@Stefano is there fingerprint support in rev2 of pro5？
-
@zsoltmd NO fingerprint support in rev2. Maybe later. I would rather see the Bluetooth bug fixed then this one though.
-
@Lars which CM do you use? Would you send me a link? I am lost, because I have a ~400EUR first class hardware and no useable software:
#1 RR AOSP Android: very-very unstable RIL and fingerprint unlock, autoplay music when earphone unplugged
#2 Flyme: autoplay music when earphone unplugged (loud music!), spyware
#3 Ubuntu Touch: khmm, you know... -
@Stefano would you summary your experience about UBports image on pro5? Do you use as daily driver?
-
@darkeye would you summary your experience? Should I switch back to UT?
-
I flashed my BQ4.5 yesterday and the device work fine.
I have only two problems:- the first is that there is no Scope "Today" (or at least what was default in Canonical's original image).
- The second is that there isn't ringtone than I did for calls (the original custom BQ ... guitar arpeggio type ;-))
-
Hey @zsoltmd ,
It working great!
My experience is the same as in the old official ubuntu release with better looking scopes
also for some reason it seems much faster...The only issues I noticed are :
- The HERE Location Service is missing so it doesn't know where I am when i'm inside a building.
- Telegram notifications seems to be hit and miss.
- Some scopes are missing (Favourite Contacts, Holidays, etc...)

@zsoltmd
After first 24 Hours using new Ubport Ubuntu Touch I have to say I'm impressed with it! Mobile signal not dropping anymore, nicely switches between 2,G 3G,H, 4G, what original Ubuntu image never managed. So no more issues with network seems. GPS works as well, I tested Unav and works.
The only thing that is still buggy is the Bluetooth and hands free calling, lot of noise, can't hear the other party.
Maybe Browser need a little of work, but for now it is usable as a daily driver.
Yeah, snap image would be nice, but not sure if Uborts will do it for Legacy phones. But it would be sweet!
