Nice you succeed to install UT !
It seems that you did not follow this => https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/repartition-nexus-5-repartition-t3844395 ... how did you proceed ?

After flashing "twrp-3.3.1-HH-hammerhead.img", through the TWRP terminal did you first resize :

hh_repart -m

Reboot and then, still through the TWRP terminal :

hh_repart -r

Hi,

I had a similar trouble as yours : unable to install UT => https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/issues/1070
In fact, I previously installed an unofficial rom of LineageOS => https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-lineageos-16-0-nexus-5-t3921162
To do it, I needed to resize the partition => https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79928889&postcount=190
So, I have done a revert partitionning and everything went well, I was able to install UT.

@AlainW94 said in Backup and restore using ubports-installer:

@lool_lauris Only working with UbPorts phones, I tried it with a Meizu Pro5 on Android and it's not working.

When I was asking about any phone, I was meaning the available phones for UT, of course.

HI,
An this backup option will accept any phone in its factory setting ?

Everything except google !
Seriously, it is a good idea. I will try to find a thing in that way. Thank you.

@doniks said in Libreoffice and Firefox.:

Going a bit off topic herexlsut can you use a simpler technical solution? like editing a text file with the ... five ? or so numbers you actually have to modify? does it have to be xls?

Thanks for your answer.
In fact, it is a spreadsheet with equations. It is therefore an .xls file but can just as easily be an.ods file. However, I need the formulas....

@AppLee said in Libreoffice and Firefox.:

@lool_lauris You can connect a bluetooth keyboard (+ mouse).

OK but I have to modify the .xls file when I am preparing a glider on the airfield runway. So I have only the phone and not keyboard...

In fact, I am looking for an app to open and modify a .xls file. I did not find anything to do that... This is the reason why I tried LibreOffice. And it is obviously not usable.

By my side, I have installed LibreOffice through Libertine in a Nexus 4. It works. But the problem is that there is no keyboard to enter any entries...

Hi,
I also had a problem to install UT on a Nexus 4.
The best for you :

• Reboot the phone by holding simultaneously the Power button and Volume down button.
• You should have the Android boot screen with the indication START at the top.
• Hold the Volume (down or up) button to find the Recovery mode. When you find it, hold the Power button.
• On the computer use the UBports installer, connect the phone to usb port then follow the indications given by the installer.

@HendriXXX :
In your 6th video, you are showing installation of Anbox. You use an image dedicated to Nexus 5 (hammerhead).
By my side, I'm using a Nexus 4 (mako). I didn't find any image for this device. Do you know a way to install Anbox on Nexus 4 ?

Using UT, so using Peertube => https://joinpeertube.org/en_US/

Thanks a lot HendriXXX for these videos, very good initiative!
Which GNU/Linux distribution (the one we see in the videos) do you use?

Many thanks for your answers, Dobey.
It's quite clear for me now.

Hi Everybody,

I just installed the UT dev channel to check if my previous bluetooth trouble (I have not tested yet) should be solved (here the topic).

Anyway, my question is about "Desktop Apps Scope" (which is available by swiping from the device bottom in stable & RC version). How could it be reachable through the devel (and edge) version ?

Appendix question: what is the difference between the devel version and the edge version (there is no mention of this edge version in the doc)?

Hi Everybody,

I have a problem with the Bluetooth connection between my Nexus 4 and my car.
I manage to connect the phone to the vehicle's audio system, it is perfectly recognized. I can make and receive calls, but as soon as the connection is established with my correspondent, I get a message on the vehicle screen saying: "Call transferred to the phone". There is an option in the vehicle interface to resume the call, but the message "Call transferred to the phone" returns immediately.
How could I fix this?

Hi Everybody,

I am looking for an app to open (and modify) a .xls file in Ubuntu Touch. I have installed Libre Office Calc through Libertine but the Calc GUI is not usable in a Nexus 4 (too small scren).
Before installing LO Calc, I've tried "Document Viewer" which is in OpenStore but if it's possible to open the file, no way to modify it.
Is there anyone with another solution ?
Thanks.

Hi arubislander,
Thank you for your reply.

I did find requests on Github about the sorting possibilities on the name. I followed your advice and joined the ongoing requests => https://github.com/ubports/address-book-app/issues/12#issuecomment-552354416

It would be a great pleasure to help of implementing the features but I have not the skills to do it, unfortunately.

About my remark about the impossibility of exporting the address book, I just discovered that it is actually possible. I apologize for the mistake.

Hello Everybody,

First of all, congratulations for all the work done. The design and fluidity of the interface are very pleasant.

However, there is a basic functionality that is sorely lacking: it is the lack of sorting of contacts that can only be displayed in alphabetical order by first name and then last name.
Similarly, the search option only queries the name and phone number fields, all other fields (addresses, business details) are ignored.
And finally, the impossibility of exporting the address book (in.csv format, for example) is also a significant lack.

The address book is probably the most important basic personal data in a phone... ahead any other applications that could be installed.

Do you plan to support these improvements?
Thank you for taking my request into account.
