Ubuntu Touch on my M10 tablet is good for me. I use it for a minimum of 2 hours each day. My wife also uses it in preference to our laptop. Morph browser works fine. File Manager is really cool once you discover how to slide files right or left to reveal the hidden tools. System Settings and OpenStore are most reliable. You can roll your own webapps with Clickable or Webapp Creator. You can move files back and forth between your UT device and your Ubuntu laptop with WifiTransfer. Document Viewer and Sturm Reader handle pdfs smoothly.

I could go on. To close, I prefer Ubuntu Touch to Android. I wiped Android from my Nexus 4, installed UT and it's great.

In support of Android, many folk cite the availability of a plethora of apps. How many do you really need? Aren't many of them simply "shovelware"?

Oh, by the way the Community is knowledgeable and helpful.

I'm delighted to report that with help from @advocatux and @bhdouglass, I succeeded in getting my first webapp, NFB Canada, working and uploaded to OpenStore. The process was as follows:

• run webapp-creator and complete template

• run UT Tweak Tool to install .click package on my M10 HD tablet

• test webapp

• join Telegram OpenStore Group

• submit webapp

All this was accomplished on my tablet. The difficulties I experienced were as follows:

• had trouble joining Telegram OpenStore Group. This turned out to be an issue with the UT Telegram app. When I switched to the Telegram webapp everything worked as expected.

• I did try using the UT Tweak Tool to submit my .click package, but was unsuccessfull. This may have been because I hadn't yet joined Telegram OpenStore Group at that stage.

• my first submission to OpenStore was declined as requiring manual inspection. Brian Douglass suggested that I needed to use the default profile since video_files wasn't needed. That fixed the problem.

• each time I needed to edit my webapp-creator template, I had to fill out the whole pro-forma again. However I got better at doing that as I moved further up the learning curve.

In case you are wondering why I chose NFB Canada as my target, let me explain. My first tablet was a Blackberry Playbook. This came with an NFB Canada app installed. I found that it was a wonderful resource. So I thought perhaps some of you UT enthusiasts might also enjoy it.

Many thanks to the UBports Team. OTA-11 runs like silk on my BQ Aquaris M10 tablet! The new text editing feature is an awesome improvement.

@luksus
So, I checked for updates and it reported software up to date. On investigation I discovered it was on release candidate channel, so I switched to devel channel and it downloaded 532mb of updates.
I installed the updates and after a couple of trys, I managed to coax it to boot.
Deep joy, it booted into staged mode! So pleased with the result. I am typing this on my Lenovo tab.
Thank you so much for working your magic.

Hello, I'm David aged 76, retired and living in Dorset in the UK. I graduated in physics in 1963 and initially worked as a R&D engineer on ferrite core and plated wire computer memory systems. I've been using linux systems for many years, especially Ubuntu and ordered a BQ Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition as soon as they went on sale. I subsequently switched to UBports and love it. I use my tablet for about two hours every day and it does most things I want. I really appreciate the UBports community and have gained the confidence to be able to post some questions to the support forum. I'm not a software developer, but I'm keen to try my hand at producing a simple webapp. So far I had some great help from the support forum. I would like to contribute to testing, but as I use 15.04 so much, I'm reluctant to install 16.04 and risk compromising my system. What I really need to do is to aquire another tablet. Oh BTW I speak and read french.

Do we have any estimate of users by country? I have no idea if I am the only UK user or if there are another 100 scattered about. Do we have the raw data that could be analysed?

@pulsar33 Brilliant! Filezilla on my laptop also connects to wifitransfer! What more could I wish for? Many thanks to everyone who contributed to solving my problem.

@dtarrant @cliffcoggin @Keneda @Luksus @magdesign @MrT10001
I am happy to confirm that today I got a fix with uNav!
This was outdoors and took about 15mins.
I carefully followed the advice given in your previous posts, so many thanks for all your contributions.

Success!!!
I finally solved my problem with the vcf sharing approach. Once again many thanks to all you Ubuntu Touchers for your help and patience. Now to bed!

@lakotaubp That post concerned a request to add support for the device to the installer.
My request was about adding a Lenovo category to the forum devices section.

I have just installed this new webapp and it's great. I normally access my OpenOffice-365 email account via a Morph Browser bookmark and everything works as it should. Yesterday I tried the OpenOffice-365 Webapp and logged in to my account. It was really snappy and I like it. I tried it on my M10 tablet and my Nexus 4 and it performed well on both devices.
The only snag was a freeze which occurred when I opened the Junk Email folder and selected a message for deletion. This issue was repeatable on both my devices.

@danfro Hi Daniel, I am still running xenial on my BQ Aquaris M10 HD which I purchased new whhen they first became available. Wifi only, no phone calls. Has always worked perfectly,

@Stefano Thanks for your reply. Cheers from Dorset.

@lakotaubp I can confirm the Lenovo TB-X605F is supported by the UT Installer. I have been in contact with two other members of our community to discuss this device and it is clear that creating a device category slot for it will be of great benefit.

@pulsar33 Thanks for that reminder. I had forgotten about that. I will study it carefully and try to get my head round what is going on. As you may have gathered, I'm pretty much out of my depth here, but hope to learn as I go.

My tablet always starts with Desktop Mode on. For normal use, I need it off. I can set it off and all is fine for using the tablet.
However, after a power off and re-start, my setting has been lost.
I believe @Luksus is aware and has tried to fix, but without success.
What can we do to help?

@kugiigi I'm on a roll now. Sending this from my Pinephone on release candidate!

@pulsar33 Thank you so much for encouraging me to persevere. I have just succeeded in transferring a folder of photos from my ubuntu 18.04 laptop to my M10 HD vivid tablet via wifi transfer. My previous mistake was to assume the procedure would be identical to when I was using the ubuntu 16.04 netbook. This time I needed to enter a server address of the type ftp://ubuntu@192.168.1.5:59743/ into the other locations dialogue, together with the password generated by wifitransfer. Then everything worked smoothly after that and I became deliriously happy! This support group rocks! Thank you everybody.

Once or twice when I've had problems getting one of my webapps to stream video from the target website it's been suggested that I should change the user agent string (@advocatux). In my efforts to learn more about user agents, I stumbled across www.whatismybrowser.com which parses your user agent string and hosts several interesting guides. Most of it is above my head but as I hadn't come across this site before, I decided to post the post the information in case it may be of interest to fellow ubuntu touchers.

@pulsar33 @kugiigi @danfro @Luksus @Fuseteam
Brilliant! That worked!
You've made me very happy.
