I just wanna express deep respect and thank you to you core devs of UT ! You guys are doing amazing job ! I just installed latest update for my Nexus 5 and noticed that the Google logo that until now appeared during boot has been replaced by absolutely gorgeously designed boot screen of UT for Nexus 5 ! Smashing !

Before I submit this as a feature request or suggestion on GitLab I wanna make sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Am I the only one who feels that UT deserves "nicer" screen or notification for incoming calls ? What I mean is that at the moment when you get an incoming call you get this rather popup-like looking rectangle on top of the screen and bar to swipe left or right, but what about the rest of the screen ? Unused. Why ? Incoming calls can take up all screen with an avatar or photo of the caller. I'm aware this is a rather cosmetic issue and I'm all for "if it's not broken don't change it" but UT is such a wonderful mobile OS and it's a real shame that the look of incoming calls has been designed "in-rush" if you know what I mean. Please community share your thoughts. Are you happy with the design of how user is made aware of an incoming call ?

@dobey Agreed. The idea is to allow incoming call to take up all screen only when the user isn't doing anything with the phone (locked). But if the user is reading messages on Telegram or whatnot he would get just the pop-up.

I have so much respect for the core devs. I can see how much work they have done on the camera on Nexus. It is quite obvious that some of the manpower / brainpower is allocated on improving camera capabilities of the promoted devices.

One of the things I appreciate the most about UT mobile OS is that it comes with CLI which enables me to connect to my Raspberry Pi wirelessly and control it. Not 100% sure if iPhones or Androids have an app for this but on UT it comes by default.

@matteo Thank you for your reply. I'm keeping the bluetooth earphones but will be getting normal earphones with 3.5mm jack so I can use it with the Nexus. I really dislike the idea of switching back to iPhone or Android just 'coz they have the bluetooth working without a hiccup. I wish the bluetooth would be on the table of core devs.

Are there any plans to make support for Firefox browser for UT ? Or even to make native support for it ? It kinda make sense since all Linux distros are shipped with Firefox by default. UT is being shipped with Morph browser which I never heard of before. It works though. No bugs so far.

@3arn0wl I'm with you on this. Anyone new to UT gets little bit put off by having Google logo on splash screen when they reboot or run on the phone. No more now. The phone is now truly Google-free.

Hi all,

I'd like to ask you about Telegram app for UT. In comparison with iPhones it looks like Telegram on UT is lacking a lot of features. It appears rather outdated. Making videocalls being just one. How's the development of this app looks like on UT ? Is there any way of knowing if there's a group of enthusiasts / coders who are trying to improve Telegram for UT ?

Yep, that was it. I wiped the phone and then downgraded. Now I'm gonna follow the tut and will report back. Thank you, Stefano, for your support.

I'm using Meizu 5 as a daily driver. I can confirm there has been a progress. Before the update I could listen to music flawlessly but making phone calls was impossible. After following instructions and installed the update, phone call won't cut off anymore after few secs but the quality of voice of the caller still needs work. It was cutting up a lot. I just tried to listen to my voicemail messages and I could barely understand what the caller was telling me. Too much cutting up. Pleasant surprise was when I finally hung up music player resumed playing where it left off. Nice one !

So yeah I could see the progress but the quality of voice transmitted needs extra work.

Fingerprint scanner isn't mentioned in the post. Android version comes with fingerprint scanner. Does it work under UT as well ?

@dobey Acknowledged. @dobey would you mind copy-pasting the suggestion onto relevant GitHub repo if I delete it from the dialer-app's list of issues ? I don't have GitHub account. I'm GitLab user and don't wanna be creating account just to post a suggestion.

OK guys ... I've managed to put my phone into working condition again. I got to the point where I was able to flash it with UT image and UT recovery. Both successfully. No errors. However I'm now stuck at this:

The phone boots into recovery but all I see is the Ubuntu logo in the centre of the screen and that's all. It doesn't give me option to tap into terminal.

Any suggestions ?

@AppLee Is there a way to assign new created partition to specific number ? Like "cache" to sda43 ? I'm asking 'coz Parted assigns numbers to new partitions chronologically by default. I can't see the option of giving new "cache" partition the partition number 43. That will mess up the mounting of the partition.

I had to mess with partition size 'coz it had very little room for cache and recommended size for cache partition is somewhere between 700MB - 2GB.

Hi community,

I've got confession to make. I messed up big time when I was trying to resize partitions for UT on my Meizu 5 pro. It got to the point where the phone won't mount partitions. I admit I'm tired. I've spent so much time with this and for nothing. I've got access to TWRP recovery as well as unlocked bootloader.

Is there a way to recreate the partition table for UT without me doing all the legwork ? Like run an installer from bootloader that will create appropriate partitions for me ?

With disappointment I'm realizing that I need functional partitions in order to flash ROM and everything else.

I'm gonna follow this https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2755/meizu-pro-5-flyme-os-to-ubuntu-touch-modem-update-fingerprint-function and hopefully I'll see light at the end of the tunnel.
