Hello Everyone,

While I may appear to be new, I have longed for UT for several years. I just purchased an N5 in excellent virtually unused condition. However, I have concerns. I read here the battery has life has improved in xenial. However, my real need is to understand how developers are performing their work. By this, I suspect a debugger is involved. What are the tools involved in this game?

From my perspective, the N5 is certainly suitable to get me in the development game. Older hardware does not bother me. I currently have a 2013 LG Optimus G Pro in perfect condition, I do not tread on my phones, that I would love to begin porting with Halium. However, it makes much more sense for these idealogical goals, or myths to be discussed in the framework of hardware, system architecture, etc., rather than, "I would like to know if my device can be ported."

What can you tell me? I am here to learn and to have fun!

Hi,
for the people using "atom-clickable plugin" with clickable 5.0.0 the command "Clickable: Build and run [desktop]" from Atom doesn't work because it uses the old '- - desktop' option replaced by 'desktop'.
To fix quickly this: open with an editor the file (enable 'show hidden files' to see 'atom' folder):
<your-home-folder>/.atom/packages/atom-build-clickable/lib/clickable.json
and remove the '- -' at line 114 after that should like this:
args: [ 'desktop' ],

Restart Atom to update the plugin.

I have just made a Pull request at the author of "atom-clickable plugin" to include that fix, and to include the new
'- - vivid' option (added with clickable 5.0.0)
Tnx

Already fallen over that one yesterday... 🙂

@alan_g and you're completely right in doing so. I just wanted to link to your post here in case someone came to https://forums.ubports.com/category/36/unity8 looking for the latest news.

Thank you for your work!

@advocatux Yes

@Cesar-Herrera that's right but the problem is nobody uses that word in tech documentation.

@UniSuperBox perfect! Thank you.

@callump123, it seems the problem is OP has mounted OP3/3T screens upside-down in their OP5 model. That means the screen refresh bottom to top, not top to bottom.

Here are some videos showing the effect.

Edit: Answering your question, in that last link you can see this:

Not every OnePlus 5 owner will encounter this issue or notice it happening. It is unknown how many OnePlus 5 owners will ever encounter this, though OnePlus assures that it is only a small number of users.

@UniSuperBox, thank you for the reply.

Yes, I know about the GPG validation chain, and I'm confident about the communication phone-server and vice versa for the official issues, so to speak.

I'm more interested in how to check integrity when downloading one of these images [0] directly, or in the security check of all those apps people are developing and uploading to the openstore, and things like that [1]. That's why I asked about the plan to keep UBports secure.

@sverzegnassi said in Ubuntu for mobile devices post mortem analysis by Simon Raffeiner:

I would only ask if it's better to have a phone with a smooth experience, or a phone that converges to desktop, at first.

That's right, first a fully functional phone. Better go step by step.

Besides there isn't good hardware available for true convergence, at least for now.
