Hello all, thank you very much for your feedback, and sorry for my late reply.
I feel no offense, I was just trying to raise something I really care about : privacy. I appreciate you listen to members, and that you have removed this &t=parameter. Thank you all again.

Hello, I am interested to install UBports on my Nexus 5, however I would like to know if it was possible to install Snap or Flatpak applications there?
I would like to install Kodi (ideally 2 different versions for specific needs), I searched here and there, but I didn't find the answer to my question. Any ideas?

Thank you very much.

I have found the &t= parameter purpose :
https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/privacy/t/

Through partnerships with developers and companies, DuckDuckGo has been integrated into many applications. In these partnerships, a portion of DuckDuckGo's advertising revenue is sometimes shared back. To assign advertising revenue and collect anonymous aggregate usage information, developers add a unique "&t=" parameter to searches made through their applications. 

So it should have been added by developers team on purpose. So my question is still why ? And we know that "anonymous" means nothing. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple use this term.

I dislike the fact that asking question gives me -1 "like". I am objective, I like UBports like you, but an explanation is needed. If a member is wondering about something (with no troll), I would not give him -1 as a social warrior. I read, and answer.

@kugiigi ok ! I was not aware about this "hidden" detail, it's confusing.
For me Nextcloud account sync means obviously Contacts and Calendar + optional features (trough this sync or through specific apps).
Now I really understand te reason of his thread and agree with the fact that when you leave iOS or Android for Ubuntu Touch, you expect to have self hosted sync or alternative sync, although it is good to see Google sync.

Contact sync is a very important feature, I hope it will be implemented.

@totalrando Hello, I have to thank you for this workaround.

I am sad that Element isn't in Ubuntu Touch because Fluffy Chat seems not up to date (according to a review in the open store).

@applee Yes with pleasure, I hope it will help

@MarkG_108 it's a mistake, my experience sharing reply was for @Giiba (you have the same color image), not to you sorry.

@AppLee : about VLC skin workaround, except if I missed something, this was a proposal that I have made, but if I understood, the same hardware limitations are raised. However, if the Librem 5 / Pinephone can use hardware acceleration, then it is interesting. I hope to follow up the development by UBports team for those projects.

@dobey : it is really strange, both Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 use the same Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 SoC and Adreno 320 GPU. Maybe they can decode small videos and not long (> 20mn), who knows ?

In any case, thank you for having reply and tried to help.

@AppLee I understand all what you say, but please, understand that the priority sometimes shall be done on basic features.

What I call basic feature is call, camera (picture/video), movie/audio player, and browser. They shall be ready almost at start.

Then you have the basic features which may not work at day 1 such as bluetooth, GPS, etc. but shall be important too.

Rather than focusing on one feature or another, I think we already need to get the basic features working. After the new features are a very good thing, but they should not take priority over the essential things.

If we just find it normal that Video player only works on certain videos (for 2 years), we risk saying "it works, pretty well, the rest we'll see later" and we leave it aside for another 2 years ?

It would be better and more logical to prioritize this feature, and please, no offense don't take it personal, somebody have to raise this issue.

Hello, thank you for proposing UBports, I like a lot the UI.
However, I just have used Moph Browser and I can see that my URL requests are redirected to Canonical using &t= parameter (see below picture) :

I thank your team/ Canonical for bringing UT and Ubuntu in general, but in such case I feel like an invasion of my privacy. On your website, under Donate sentence, it is mentioned "Do you care about freedom of choice and privacy?".

Unfortunately, this is not what I could experience. Now, I (maybe other users) need clear answers :

• 1. Why Morph Browser allows redirections to Canonical servers ? Is it RGPD compatible ?
• 2. What else is sent as a telemetry from OS/app to whatever company/organization ?
• 3. Is there another browser (Firefox) please?

Thank you for your feeback.

I just would like to thank you all, as I have learned many things from this thread, especially the chart with the LXC container and UT.

My opinion is that FSF could add UT in the list with a star *(UT on Pinephone only) Because, if UT in the Pinephone complies with the FSF requirements, then it should be added into the list.

@totalrando Hello, I have to thank you for this workaround.

I am sad that Element isn't in Ubuntu Touch because Fluffy Chat seems not up to date (according to a review in the open store).

@keneda Hello and thank you,

I have tested an event from the smartphone : I can have notifications, but if the event has been imported from Nextcloud, then there is +2 hours and no notification (despite the fact that notifications are enabled in the settings).

Re: Odd issues with native UT Alarm clock. [Solved]

Hello, I open a new thread as the above is marked as solved, but I consider the solution as a short-term workaround. Also, my device is a Nexus 5, but I think my issue can be cross devices :

1. When I sync calendars with Nextcloud account, I can see that events in the Ubuntu Touch calendar app are in the wrong time zone (I am on UTC+2 and calendar adds + 2 hours).
   One important thing to consider : the calendar from the notification bar displays the correct time zone, while the hour in the application is delayed.
   If I use this workaround (to select a UTC+0 city like Rabat and correct time manually, meaning I have to change time in summer and winter by myself), then the calendar app displays events in the correct time.

2. Also, there is neither popup nor sound despite the fact that the option has been enabled (is is due to this offset ?)

Please, could you confirm and check this issue ?

Thank you very much for your help.

@Rondarius @Flohack : Well, sorry I should have dug a little deeper, the good news is that my N5 has halium 7.1 hehe !

EDIT : I add another question, therefore, I recapitulate my two questions :

1. Do you intend to integrate a canvas fingerprint blocker in Morph browser ? Here is a link from the source code of a Qt web browser called qutebrowser that could implement this function, what do you think ?

2. When I received my Nexus 5, I have tested all features in Android (Wifi, data, GPS, mic, etc.), then I have installed Ubuntu Touch. I searched on the forum why First Fix GPS take so long (several minutes compared to ~3 seconds on Android), and I saw here and there that A-GPS is not used in Ubuntu Touch, only GPS is used, however the purpose is missing. Therefore my second question is : is there any reason why A-GPS is not used (too complicated to implement, or architecture incompatibility, or license issue) ?

Thank you again

Hello, first of all I would like to thank you for being able to answer our questions, it's very nice to be able to share directly with the team responsible for this OS, I don't remember having seen that elsewhere, bravo.

I have 2 questions :

1. I see Halium 7.1 for Oneplus One is ongoing as a test. As both Oneplus One and Nexus 5 have mostly same hardware, do you think you can port Halium 7.1 to the Nexus 5 ? Or is there any blocking point preventing to do it, and so what is the issue please ?

2. Do you intend to integrate a canvas fingerprint blocker in Morph browser ? Here is a link from the source code of a Qt web browser called qutebrowser that could implement this function, what do you think ?

Thank you very much !

Thank you both !
At least, I hope Fluffy chat can do that (photo / video. I am trying to install a matrix server. Download is easy, but not the setup ^^

@moem Hello, I forgot to ask you something : what do you mean by group feature under development.
Group feature is mainly the reason why I need to use Signal so I hope it works and can at least receive messages/(video) calls, what do you think ?
Thank you

@applee Yes with pleasure, I hope it will help

OK !

I have found the root cause of the issue ! First of all, thank you very much for your help and sorry for my late reply, I have checked your advises.

@Keneda, UT Tweak Tool allowed to switch successfully to read/write mode, but in the end moving the certificate to the folder did not solve the issue (still the Invalid url host error).

@poVoq thank you, it was a nice idea, but unfortunately, it didn't worked neither.

So I tried to figure out what conditions are needed to avoid this message:

1. you need an official certificate (ex : from Let's Encrypt) and not a self-certificate, otherwise Nextcloud sync does not work.
2. you have to open ports 80 to renew your certificate automatically, otherwise Let's Encrypt cannot issue/renew the certificate.
3. even with port 80 open, the certificate could not be installed (error message timeout error). So I checked the firewall: everything seemed to be normal.
   However, I noticed that my Nextcloud settings had an https-only option enabled. Once I disabled the option, the certificate could be installed, and I was able to sync my Nextcloud account by entering the following format: https://mydomain.free.fr/ (no need for /nextcloud at the end)

What a challenge !!! Thank you very much all !!!

Thank you. I have investigated a bit more : my certificate is still the old one (self certificate, not the supposed TLS from ISP... very very strange.

I have decided to follow another workaround, which seems to work according to the member (Morph cannot take into account the self-certificate, but the CalDAV sync does work after this workaround and this is exactly what I want). The proposal is to move the own self-certificate into /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/. To do so, you have to have read and write permission in the folder by using sudo mount -o remount,rw /.

By doing so, the output of sudo mount -o remount,rw / is an unable to resolve host phablet@ubuntu error message. So I can't move my self certificate in this folder, I don't know why I have this error message (do you know if it is now impossible to get read and write permissions in OTA 16 ?). This is really frustrating.

Thank you
