    • Best way to move bookmarks and telephone-book ??

      in the Q&A it was mentioned/idea from @Flohack to create an backup-solution for the phones.
      i tried out the manual operation handwork way. ( much typing 😞 but its seems to work )
      After more and less luck i was able to find and import my bookmarks and telephone-book from
      the old phone to the new-one. (Terminal App / )

      ##_ Bookmarks _###################

      1. Export bookmarks from old device.
      The bookmarks are stored in
      "/home/phablet/.local/share/webbrowser-app/bookmarks.sqlite "
      My usb-sticks destination-folder is mounted in
      /media/phablet/my_usbstick/backup20170604/
      So i fired up
      phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cp /home/phablet/.local/share/webbrowser-app/bookmarks.sqlite /media/phablet/my_usbstick/backup20170604/

      (now the same procedure backwards)

      2. Import/migrate bookmarks to new awesome Ubport-Phone
      phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cp /media/phablet/my_usbstick/backup20170604/bookmarks.sqlite /home/phablet/.local/share/webbrowser-app/

      ##_ mobile phone book _###################

      3. Export mobile-phone-book from old device
      The mobile-phone-book are stored in
      "/home/phablet/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db"
      My usb-sticks destination-folder is mounted in
      /media/phablet/my_usbstick/backup20170604/
      So i fired up
      phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cp /home/phablet/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db /media/phablet/my_usbstick/backup20170604/

      (now the same procedure backwards)

      4. Import mobile-phone-book to new awesome Ubport-Phone
      phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cp /media/phablet/my_usbstick/backup20170604/contacts.db /home/phablet/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/

      5. reboot the phone
      after this, the copied telephone-numbers are visible in the mobile-phone-book

      ############################

      Another possibility by the Grapical-GUI the File-Manger/Browser-App.
      are there better ways/ suggestions ? ( Ok i know @Flohacks backup-project )

      Good luck everyone!

      @wgarcia

      i would not worry about this, there are only a handfull people to support webpages and coding.
      The "sudo-shutdown -h -canonical" was very surprising for all of us. but this is only my oppinion and i can be wrong 😉
      i think we ask together this ...
      Question 1. --> see @wgarcia
      Question 2. --> is the "magic-device-tool" able to work without canonical servers ? sorry i am new here so i create strange questions, feel free to smile about this. i wonder why ubuntu phone has not a "etc/../sources.list"?

    • RE: Collaboration platform for Ubports (and beyond)

      @mindaugasdi
      i think this would be a way to make the terms of rights thing transparent ( big storry copyright) there it would probably only go with a litte red-tape-buerocracy. gnu open source works only with respect for the other companys and there properitary code. in this case the collaboration-platform would bring more structure in this i think...my feeling

      Greetings to All

      I own an Aquarius E5 HD, bought it for simple calling, reading and writing text with nano and coding with python.
      Calling a friend without a intermission from some android-app.
      To have a little more controll about that, what the apps are doing. ( Its a lot of "KISS -Keep it Simple and Stupid" that i like on the "UbuntuPhone")
      I like your "we make it go" spirit and wish you the best for the future. (Dont lose hope, the interesting part is now starting 😉
      To me:
      linux-newbie (More Debian former Ubuntu-user)

      best wishes
