Attention UBports Community!

As UBports quickly grows, we need to know the clear answer to the question "Who is our audience?" so that we can develop our community and Ubuntu Touch correctly. Thankfully Querida, a member of UBports Marketing, has decided to do her International Business and Languages Bachelor thesis on this very topic for her graduation semester. So with your help we can all benefit from her hard work!

We ask you to kindly take about 5 minutes of your time to fill out this survey.
http://fontysfeht.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1AgS42j1S950aGN

To thank you for your participation, we'll be sure to publish the detailed results of this survey on the forum so you, too, can know more about your UBports Community.

Thank you for your help, and Querida thank you too!

Hey there, UBports! We just heard a little secret...

...Someone said that Linphone has just landed in the Open Store.
It's Ubuntu Touch's very first dedicated SIP app which allows VOIP calling - now!
In fact, you can even use it to make regular telephone calls, too!

You can create a free account -right in the app - and start calling other Ubuntu Touch users and anyone else who can use the famous Linphone software and services.

Join the party and keep up the good work!

Special thanks to @cibersheep and @bhdouglass for all the endless hours of work on this app.

I totally agree with @doniks your engagement and responses have been excellent and very much appreciated. Really enjoying reading this thread.

@Guf doh. How to feel very silly. Must have tried every combination of everything but 1234. Still plenty of time to get it set up now. Thanks.

@Fla There have been issues since the 2nd Sept then 7th as last Weds 16th was the release for OTA I guess that would explain the lack of any update since the 9th. The release was only stopped the day before on the 15th.

@Guf All sorted I have UBports up and running just need to add accounts and take it for a run. Thanks again. This is a nice size phone.

Edit: During setup I was not asked to set a password, so how do I get past the lock screen without going through it all again phablet does not work.
Edit 2: Double checked and reinstalled and no request for password setup. Language setup, wifi, device name and location and then into OS. So without password can't change setting or use UTTweakTool.

@Guf said in Porting Ubuntu Touch (@UBPorts) to tenshi (BQ Aquaris U Plus):

To install these three, you need to exec:

Is there a need to clear and format partitions as on OP3. First attempt reboots to powered by android screen and stops there.

@Guf Thanks should have it by the weekend, then just need to find the time. Will download the bits and get ready. Thanks again.

@Guf Thanks for the reply. I am getting one for next to nothing So what is the best way to install UT? Do the instructions above still apply or have things altered.

Please reply here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/4914/bq-aquaris-4-5-and-mini-dac-support/2 from now. Thanks

@Tominto Best not to keep opening new threads on the same issue, there are now three open. I will lock your other and leave this one as all the links are here. If things are in the wrong place we will either move them or let you know Thanks.

@Alter I think that in most cases it is the amount of changes that would need documenting. Leave it with me and I will check on your offer for which Thanks.

@nebulom Try booting to recovery clearing cache, choose wipe on the installer and try again if you think the install did not work and test adb is seeing the device correctly. Bad battery will obviously affect start up but it should work with cable.
