    • RE: Wish list : which apps do you need?

      @Rebecca58 For me I would want everything removable and installable. Like for me the Phone and Messaging Applications are useless to me and would like them uninstalled. Since I don't use my Nexus 5 as a cellphone. I use it as a computer/Remote Control to my big desktop computer.

      I want my Ubuntu Touch to be bare to bones. All I want preinstalled is open store. The rest I want to pick and choose. I don't need 99% of the junk thats preinstalled

      For what I want to see available for UT is some Ham Radio Apps, a app for Wine, some remote Admin tools(to make linking computers and cellphone/tablets easier to link together)

    • RE: Welcome to the UBports community! Introduce yourself here!

      Well I'm Dave. I started using Linux when my Windows 98 machine crashed and a friend recommended Linux Slackware in 2000/2001.

      I been using Linux ever since. From Red Hat to Ubuntu and everything in between.

      So when I heard of a cellphone can run without Google and Apple I had to try it.

      So my very first cellphone had to a LG Nexus 5 running Ubuntu Touch. I don't have a need for the phone part. That part is useless to me. House phone is good enough for me for my telephone needs.

      What I want the Nexus 5 to do is be a remote control for my desktop. By the way the desktop is a dual boot Mandrake and Ubuntu Zoran.

      So I had this cellphone for one day and like everything new to has to be pain to me. So I can here looking for help with my wifi problem.

      Hey want to know something else. This also my first time using a forum. Heck I never even used social media before.

      I never did MySpace or any of that Twitter junk. I basically keep to myself and away from sites like that.

      So I said why not try and see what I get. Who knows I might be able to help others as I learn about Ubuntu Touch. Plus I could be a big help with big computer version of Linux. With all them years under my belt of Linux use. I'm sure my experience could come in handy here.

      Thanks for reading and let's learn together

      Dave
