@AppLee Nope, the camera is not functional on the OPO. I found out that is specifically mentioned in the documents as an unsupported feature. The focusing bounces all around and can't get a fix. A low priority item i guess. No way to sync contacts either is pretty rough... who involved with UBports would actually have their stuff with google, thats a polat opposite of everything else. Even the keyboard is weird... the settings don't apply to this window apparently as its doing its own this with suggestions and corrections. another minor thing- I though ok, since this is a nerdy set up at least i could habe a bit of fun and finally get a dvorak layout (apple never had one). sure, you can select dvorak in the settings, but having the word "dvorak" show up is literally the only thing that happrns. This typing and correcting is brutal.

@El-Franko continued... so through imessage substitute (Wire) can't run on the phone (Wire sometimes spits out a message saying the browser isn't supported). No other browservant in through appeared store. Holy crap this predictive text is horrible. I havr to stop and shut this off. “Havr”? That's not even a word! what the hell?! why would it use have??? good night for now

@AppLee I know this isn't the right thread to cover all my problems, but I guess I'm just disappointed. it took a lot of time to find one of the top two phones that were supposed to run UB Touch properly. took about four hours to get the software loaded, that process was very buggy (the website made it sound so simple). Then I quickly find out I can't even take a picture with the phone. I look up an imessage substitute that I can use on several platforms, and still communicate with my kids who don'y have phones, and it now the screen won't even scroll up so I can't even see what I'm typing. ugh!

I find it odd that both the webapp and logging in through the browser give me the same unusable screen/frame split. I wish there was a desktop mode I could use. I thought that the browser would be able to work in a desktop mode with how much convergence was mentioned on the UBPorts site. It's really unfortunate but I am having a hard time finding anything I can use the phone for, beyond calls and basic text messages. Roadblocks all over the place for my basic skill set.

Anyone else trying to use Wire? I have an OPO and I thought Wire was working fine on the phone. For the past few weeks the app/webpage both open up weird now... the menu page on the left permanently takes up about 2/3 of the screen making the message writing and viewing side pretty much useless. I've tried going through the web and the app with the same unfortunate result. Rotating the phone just makes it get more creative. I think it still functions, there is just some sort of page scaling issue or something. I have zero experience with this OS and coding in general, so sorry for the vague bug report! Maybe someone with a few skills knows about the issue. Thanks for any input!

@ricardo65 Man, that was kind of painful. Bacon has been installed after being lubricated with a few tears. I have no idea why it started to work, I essentially just started jamming everything through. Had to acknowledge the “lost communication” warning about six times while downloading, even though the Mac and the phone showed data being steadily transferred. I really didn’t have the patience left to methodically continue trouble shooting after several hours. Thanks everyone for their input, clearly a big responsive community here. No SIM in it yet, but otherwise the OPO is running good, just starting to poke around and see what I can set up.

@Keneda So, I made it through the "reboot to bootloader" step in the UBports installer, by selecting "reboot to bootloader" on the phone. This steps completes very quickly, probably less than a second. The next step is called "reboot to recovery" and this is where it hangs up with the "ADB is scanning for devices" message. I have tried the process by selecting different options on the phone, as there isn't one specifically titled "reboot to recovery." It seems that neither "Reboot system now" or "reboot to bootloader" options on the phone work. Both leave UBports hanging. It seems a bit strange as I assume the ADB can find the phone as it passes the first step, but gets stuck on the second step. Any thoughts?

@Rondarius FYI, when the phone is in fastboot mode, it doesn't respond to pushing vol+ or vol-. Thanks for the suggestion.

@Keneda Yes, "ADB is scanning for devices" message over and over again. The phone is in "fastboot" mode now. Should this work, or is fast boot the wrong mode? I have tried numerous different cables.

I would have to say the process is pretty finicky. I started this morning and have been struggling for about three hours. OnePlus One Cyanogen, UBPorts installer on a Mac. I'm trying to leave Apple and Google behind, but it seems like the Linux world still requires you to be programmer to have any success. UBports wasn't recognizing the phone, and the phone does not do the rebooter mode when holding down the power and volume up button. Currently the phone seems frozen with some sort of half-done install. It sits there there with the "powered by Ubuntu" start up screen and that's it. Nothing responds with UBports. Is there anyway to just start all over again, or am I stuck with a $200 brick, and lessons learned? Hopefully there is a solution... just be aware the process is nowhere near as simple and reliable as the video clips on UbuntuTouch make it out to be.
