I think that you will have to investigate libertine and desktop apps for running linux programs other than those which are available in the OpenStore.

I was happily using OsmScout myself until recently trying to update the maps. I have England and Scotland but deleted Wales while trying to download others.
Would it be possible for users to copy their existing possibly not entirely up to date maps to each other until we get an alternative?

@dobey I was thinking that an APK could be installed over a network?
No SSH as I can't set that up without USB connection... can I?
Device still charges but I cannot connect well enough to run the UBPorts installer.

@kugiigi I wish that I could find that command!

@kugiigi Off topic, but I was interested in you saying " if you know how to modify an APK, you can change the server to UBports instead of the old Canonical server."
Would that allow an old Ubuntu Touch device without working USB to be converted from Canonical to UBports?

@Kelvin-Cheung Thanks, I might try this I have an old MX4 stuck on the Cannonical Ubuntu Touch I have had issues simply connecting it up to any computer but have had some success with the USB connection more recently, but no luck with installing UB Ports UT.

Not this exact method but I have installed UBports Ubuntu Touch onto a Chinese Pro 5 myself, so know that it is possible.

I have made a few comments on posts about the issues that people are expecting with the news about Google and Huawei, basically suggesting the people look into using UBports Ubuntu Touch instead.

Just wondering if this is a good opportunity to promote UBports as people may be getting disillusioned by both Google and Chinese manufacturers OS for their devices?

Stellarium is now available.
Strange thing is that when I got my phone out of my pocket this morning it was sitting there in openstore on the page for the app just waiting for it to be installed, I really don't know how that could have happened?

@Stefano Thanks for the info, I did not realise that.
