Probably a good feature request for the file manager. It can already extract so I assume it uses a library that can also compress.

@joelandsonja Unfortunately, there are still major issues that's stopping to release an update in the stable channel. I would suggest switching to Release Candidate channel to see the current improvements and changes. You can go back to stable easily....unless channel switching is bugged as well

Thank you for appreciating the OS and congrats on your new device or toy
Ubuntu Touch is very functional however, it has been running on android-based devices for many years and the Pinephone is quite different in terms of hardware so there are still many things that normally work in UT but not yet on the pinephone. So we hope you have patience and have a good time during the process .

Also, I think it's also good to try out other distros using the sd card. That's the beauty of the Pinephone

Nexus 7 2013 (Wifi) or flo is the originally supported device with deb coming in later one if I am not mistaken. I would suggest to get the flo model for best experience especially if you don't need mobile data. Nexus 7 2013 is a great device and I really like the size and feel of that tablet however, it's quite old and in terms of performance, it's a bit worse than Nexus 5. Actually, I've already sold mine a few months ago due to hardware issues and not being used. I would suggest the pinetab if that size is good to you but if you want the portability of the Nexus 7 then I would say go for it if you find a good deal

Will this work on SOV33? That's the one I found locally so far.

I'll try to answer base on what I know. Note I might be wrong though

1. Just check the update page and make sure to install all app updates. If it shows no update then you're most likely in the latest version. If you're on stable channel, I believe push notification is enabled so you'll get one if there's a new update.

2. If you mean the link below, then no they're unrelated. That's just a job that builds the same image (or stable) over and over again and it was daily before so the number got really big. Just ignore these builds. You'll only need it if you want to reflash.

3. No

4. I'm not in stable channel on my pinephone right now so I can't see it myself and refer but in the OS build details page, you'll see different values such as UBports Image part and Device image part. OS Build number shows your current build number. Not sure if the pinephone shows "OTA" label or just build number for now. UBports image part is the build number/date for the rootfs or the actual OS. Device image part is the build number/date of the device specific software such as kernel. I'm not completely sure on this but this is what I know

I've had similar issues before but I can't remember which device anymore
It's either my bq E5 or Nexus 5. When connected to power, the screen is not unresponsive but touch response is a mess and inaccurate. It don't happen when connected to a powerbank or a PC though.

You can run apps via terminal using ubuntu-app-launch. Other than that, it might and or not work.

Automatic mounting of sd cards is disabled in pinephone at the moment. You might need to do it manually although it might not work exactly the same as other UT devices.

@athansor I can assure you that there are works done for the pinephone. I'm sorry that you feel this way but if you have no patience for the development of the software then I guess the Pinephone and/or UT isn't for you. You may try other distros for the time being. UT development on the pinephone feels slower than others because it supports other devices than the pinephone so not all efforts are put into it. Also, improvements that you don't see doesn't mean they're pointless. They're the foundation of things the end users see and use.

I really think it's related to the fact that you are redirected to fr-fr.facebook.com.
I believe Facebook works in Onion Browser because it's using Tor which is a bit similar to VPN wherein you are detected to be in a different country than the one you are actually in.

If you are sure that is a slimport adapter, your last bets are the following:

• Supply power to the adapter
• Use shorter HDMI cable
• Try different positions or the way you insert microUSB to the port (this sounds bad )
• Try another slimport adapter

Sadly, Nexus 5's port and slimport adapters are unreliable mist of the time, at least in my experience.
I have like a dozen of slimport adapters and 2 Nexus 5 and I can't make them work in one try
Sometimes it also depends on the monitor you use.

I'm not really sure if I installed it successfully because the micro-USB port of my Nexus 5 is really bad
I already have UT on it before installing this, is it expected that the user data is retained?

So far, in my observation, it feels slower than the usual especially in the app spread which is a bit sluggish. It's working though so it's already a great progress. Keep it up Good luck!

@Ultimoore I don't think it has ever worked on the pinephone. I think it has only worked in other distros like Mobian. And even if it works, it's really slow

I want to try this I am not much familiar with installing with just the sources. Do I need to compile them and install via TWRP? I have experience flashing via TWRP and nexus root toolkit.

@bigwang Sorry, I forgot to say that this doesn't work while booted anymore. It was working before but now it's not. You have to do it in recovery or fastboot

@bigwang I think the size is mainly because of the limitation in android-based devices...I believe it's the cache partition which is used for applying updates. These are the commands I used to resize on my Nexus 5. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND DON"T BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT WILL HAPPEN
This resizes it to 5GB.

sudo dd if=/dev/null of=/userdata/system.img bs=1MiB seek=5000 count=0
sudo e2fsck -f /userdata/system.img
sudo resize2fs -f /dev/loop0

@tnywatkns Sadly, Pinephone's issue is a bit different as it has its own set of issues. The issue seems to be fixed in devel now but that's only for android-based devices so the pinephone might need to wait a bit longer for a proper fix.

Are you sure are in stable channel? Because I think I read somewhere that there seems to be a problem with suspension in devel related to repowerd I believe.

@dcmken Did you have UT in the emmc and also UT in the SD card?

Regarding the factory image, the images that can be downloaded and flashed are always the factory image as far as I know. It seems that they haven't fixed it yet.
