a question: do some of you that have only morph open and it uses very much memory use uadblock ? For me (BQ Aquaris 4.5) uadblock (with all lists) added a high memory footprint to morph and webapps for me. https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1265 / https://github.com/ubports/morph-browser/issues/263
Removing the lists / turning uadblock off did not revert the effect for me, only reflashing (and then no longer use uadblock) helped.

Yesterday I tried the same for the amd64 clickable container (adding the dependendies manually and run in desktop mode), and got:
[FILE] Extracting information from the file...

Here some screenshots to the steps described in https://github.com/ubports/docviewer-app/pull/25

If you uncomment the line "#INSTALL( DIRECTORY ${UPSTREAM_LIBS_DIR}/opt/libreoffice/lib/libreoffice/ DESTINATION ${DATA_DIR}lib/${ARCH_TRIPLET}/libreoffice )" in Click.cmake, you get a click package without libreoffice support (e.g. text and pdf files work).

If you try to open an odt file, you get the message:

If you add (e.g. in a chroot environment with clickable --container-mode) libreoffice to the dependencies, and put the line " #INSTALL(DIRECTORY /usr/lib/libreoffice/ DESTINATION ${DATA_DIR}lib/${ARCH_TRIPLET}/libreoffice )" to the Click.cmake, you get an about 80MB click package.

Again opening an example odt file, you now get:

In the logviewer you see, for example:

After adding the missing dependencies, at some point it was no longer complaining, the screen looked like:

and the corresponding log:
qml: Path of the document: /media/phablet/7873-B162/Documents/example.odt

But at that point docviewer crashed. I will not have much time currently to look into that in more detail, but at least that is where I got on Saturday...

while pdf files should already work, it was not yet possible to build a docviewer packages with libreoffice support.
I wanted to post the steps I already did and the results

oh it does even belong to amazon now, that was new to me...

@3arn0wl no alexa.com has statistics for website visitors (popularity of websites), it has been around longer than Amazons Alexa

@talkless In my containers I replaced all urls by http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
also the ports ones
vivid vivid-security vivid-backports vivid-updates (main / multiverse / restricted / universe) are all included there

I'm really new to this, so I have some questions about building oxide:

• Which branch of https://github.com/ubports/oxide/ is currently used for 15.04 stable (OTA-2) ?
• do I need to follow the build instructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Oxide/BuildInstructions ?

my goal would be investigating a bug by doing a modification of the oxide code, and test it on a device (Aquaris 4.5).

+1 for updated browser ( possibly better webgl support on aquaris 4.5)
+1 for nextcloud/owncloud sync of calendar and contacts)
aethercast for aquaris 4.5 ( also possible in future OTA)

just an update: my battery went empty and after I booted the phone the indicator was back again. (problem gone) Not sure what solved it, maybe the toggle of the rotation lock switch in system settings followed by a reboot...

the problem is also described here:
https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg22619.html

From time to time the rotation lock icon disappears from my quick settings. ( a wheel with the text indicator-rotation-lock appears instead)
A device reboot does not help here.
I know that some file has to be deleted in a cache or config folder to make it work again. Could someone point me to this ? Thank you !

the following seems to solve it:

import QtQuick 2.2
import QtPositioning 5.2
import Ubuntu.Components 1.3                                       
                                                                   
Page {                                                             
    id: positiontestpage                                           
                                                                   
     PositionSource {                                              
                                                                   
    id: geopos
    active: true
   preferredPositioningMethods: PositionSource.SatellitePositioningMethods

   onPositionChanged: {

   postxt.text = "posupdate: " + geopos.position.timestamp
}

}

Text {
id: postxt
color: "green"
}
}

the following QML Page does show the effect:

import QtQuick 2.2
import QtPositioning 5.2
import Ubuntu.Components 1.3                                       
                                                                   
Page {                                                             
    id: positiontestpage                                           
                                                                   
     PositionSource {                                              
                                                                   
    id: geopos
    active: true
  
   onPositionChanged: {

   postxt.text = "posupdate: " + geopos.position.timestamp
}

}

Text {
id: postxt
color: "green"
}
}

thank you for your responses ! Actually I have been able to do some testing here on vacation, and for me getting a lock takes some minutes, which is OK for me.
Only for UNav I had some problems that the position sometimes is no longer updated after a few minutes ( there is an open issue that this could happen if other GPS apps are used in parallel).
I've adopted the app SensorsStatus and put it to OpenStore. With that I have experienced the following: After the connection is found, the GPS position is updated once per second. But that stoppes after 2 to 3 minutes, and then it jumps to ( what I think) AGPS position and no longer updates from GPS.

I own one of the Aquaris 4.5 phones preinstalled with Ubuntu touch. It always seemed to take long to get a GPS connection running, but it feels it gets worse as time passes.
I'm wondering if there is any chance to improve this via software ( e.g. the vendor of my Navi claims that the use of the latest device software will lead to quicker GPS connections).
Or are these "calibration values", if they do exist, part of the closed source blob BQ does not provide updates to?
How are the experiences with GPS on that phone for other users?
thank you, Chris

@Stefano in general, is "sudo" needed for ubuntu-device-flash ? At least on debian it did not work for me, trying to flash Aquaris 4.5 (https://github.com/ubports/wiki.ubports.com/issues/15)
I found Canonical documentation about ubuntu-device-flash as well, that was without sudo.
