Ubuntu on Huawei devices?
-
@xqqy You can think what you want, but I have seen the regulatory requirements, as Canonical was in talks with a Chinese phone maker, to ship in China, and before they could ship, there were a minimum set of requirements in those regulations that had to be met. Ubuntu phone did not yet meet those requirements when Canonical decided to drop the project. And those requirements are still not met.
Someone in China would have to make apps for all the in-China things. Why not ask Alipay/WeChat/etc… to provide apps, or the necessary APIs to build them?
Missing apps has nothing to do with Huawei though.

Just to keep everyone up to speed in case you missed this.

I am fully against any cooperation with Huawei sorry to say. As I said yesterday in the supergroup: No we wont ask for this. Huawei is in a very political discussion and the foundation needs to stay neutral. We will not endorse, recommend any or cooperate with companies that are under the impression of political influence -
Why on Earth did anyone downvote @dobey's last post? He worked for Canonical and knows exactly what he is talking about on this subject.

@trainailleur You can hover over the number of votes a post has to see who voted on it
Everyone believes that their actions are better than the alternatives.

It had a -1 tally when I saw it, and I could not view who had downvoted it. Also, as soon as I upvoted it, the tally went to +1, not 0 as I had expected, and now it's at +2 with only your and my votes showing. I can't pretend I understand how up and down votes work on this forum.

@Leppa said in Ubuntu on Huawei devices?:

You can only see who upvoted, not who downvoted.

Why would UbPorts foundation with it's stated objective of respecting user privacy and open source software even remotely consider cooperating with the most intransparented IT-company in the world, bound to the regulations of an authoritarian anti-democratic regime ?
This would be the end of UbPorts foundation before it even has fully taken off.
This also nicely demonstrates the importance of being a foundation registered under German law because any activities in such direction could be in conflict with the foundation by-laws and objectives. -
in china , we need alipay/wechat/qq and Some games.
But these don't have a ubuntu touch app .
They won't develop native applications for ubuntu touch until it becomes widespread.
And only if you have a lot of users possible they be able to provide an Application Programming Interface for you to develop the application,And the application cannot be open source -
maybe,in order to promote it in China, it can only promote anbox optimization

I refer once again to what has already been stated by Florian

There is always Off Topic if needed.
