          A late reply from me, because I needed to think carefully about the answer. I have an almost fulltime job and other obligations that take up a lot of time. My feeling is saying 'yes, I'd love to help with Axolotl development!'. I'm not sure if I can. It would very much depend on what is being asked for. If it would take a small amount of time, and if I could chose my own times for the tests and the replies, maybe it could work. I have a Nexus 5 as daily driver. I'm not prepared to brick that. I do have a Pinephone CE.I could use that, but would be willing to buy an Android line device too, if that is better for you. I am a regular user, not a developer.
          @nanu-c : Thank you for the updates. I appreciate the progress made!!

                  This is my wish list:

                  • sophisticated camera app (exposure correction, filter, spirit level, RAW files, image editing etc.)

                  • extensive offline navigation app (I know there is pure maps)

                  • Threema Messenger

                  • Functionality of apps with locked screen (e.g. music, activity tracker). Activation perhaps via the UT Tweak Tool (like background suspension).

                  • Alarm clock even when the phone is switched off.

                      It apparently is on some devices, which have the hardware to schedule a "power on" time or such.

                        So those devices are not completly switched off, no?
                        I mean, if the device can "wake up" and clock ring when setted by user, something, hardware + software, must still run on background?

                          @Keneda The SoC is powered off. There is a separate RTC which is extremely low power, and can signal the SoC to power on and which results in phone restoring to power on and the alarm notification, if I understand correctly.

                          This is why some phones will drain battery faster than those without the feature, when powered off.

                            Xournal would be good to have... though it could do with a handwriting to text function.

                            And a speech recognition app. Dragon Dictation is the proprietary one, but I'm sure there must be OpenSource equivalents.

                              A usable (read & write) office suite which would be .odt & .docx compatible. Maybe a fork of Collabora Office would be a realistic solution?

                                  Please forgive my ignorance on this one....

                                  How hard would it be for The Document Foundation to make an Office Suite for Ubuntu Touch app? (not referring to Libertine here)

                                  Making a fork of Collabora Office like @stanwood suggested would take time too, while LibreOffice is a near perfect existing solution already, widely spread and well maintained. Wouldn't it make sense to team up or have a UT community effort to raise the funds necessary to have The Document Foundation create a UT version based on existing Ubuntu one? Especially now there should be extra interest from their side now that the number of Linux devices/phones with Ubuntu Touch is rapidly increasing. If necessary a LibreOffice 'Lite' version may me good enough for on the go. Having a Ubuntu Touch LibreOffice app can have a lot of positive side effects as well.

                                  I know it all comes down to staff available. Yet a guesstimated time on altering and maintaining a LibreOffice for UT would do to satisfy my curiosity.

                                  In general I'd love to see the possibility to have the same core apps on both Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Touch. Ultimately synchronizing both like other OS's would be ideal.

                                          I didn't say that, but i believe this is better to start from there, than from scratch.
                                          Splitting effort in multiple apps is not good in my point of view.
                                          Document viewer works great.

                                            If we could have a text editor in Document Viewer capable of opening/editing/saving commonly used text/tables/presentations that would be great!
