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.

I replaced my Pro5 with an original Ubuntu Touch device and have had no trouble with LTE network connection at all and its on S333_M86_20151002_CNOPEN_MZ024. I have not thought about upgrading it until I saw this post, but I don't think that I really need to.

I do think that LTE coverage has improved a lot since last year so that might be the improvement though?

How about

UTNOS

Ubuntu Touch is Not a Ubuntu Operating System

I have the same issue on https://www.three.co.uk/New_My3/My3_Home
It's a pain as I can't top up from there on my phone.

I for one, as a user rather than a developer, think that the policy should be that things should be as un-footshootable as possible no matter how much rope that you might give us.

I have the same issue using facebook in the morph browser, I just cannot keep track of where I was in my feed when clicking on a post to read it.
It must just be a new facebook "feature".

Thanks Xray2000, keep up the good work.
I look forward to seeing changes in the Sailbook app.

After OTA5 upgrade I am getting really frustrated on facebook.
There's no longer a back button at the bottom of the screen in sailbook so I have to scroll back to the top of a post to go back.
Also, whenever I try to go back after reading a post I no longer end up on the same place on my feed - it's as if it refreshes the feed like when you select home.
Has this something to do with the update, the apps, the browser, or have facebook changed something?

"I got it to work by following these instructions"
~Which instructions?

@halucigenia I put the phone back to flyme version 5.6.1.19 (the one from [TUTORIAL] Unlock the bootloader of Meizu PRO 5 and the headphone issue is still there. I replaced the headphone jack too and that did not help It seems that I bought another Pro 5 with headphone issues.

Aarrrgh... On the Pro 5 just installed with 16.04 there is no audio from the headphones. I did not check this before upgrading from flyme but just to check - this is not a known issue is it?
