@hummlbach : I'm not sure to understand the matter of your link in accordance with the "core apps" concept. In the thread I mentionned, my message was an attempt to define what should be a core app or not, according to the phone capabilities only, whatever are the people who develop the code. IMHO, a phone without what I list as "core apps" is not a usable phone. All system updates should contain these applications, as opposed to the optional applications available in the openstore.
Even if I follow you since a long time, this is why my E5 is still under Ubuntu Touch OTA 15 and not UBports. For me, UBports is not mature and is far away from speading the world for that reason.

Hello,
Facebook ... or simply the web browser ...
Not a full answer but a first tip : you can be root with UBports
As root, you can modifiy the hosts file using this "must have" solution :

Hello
My opinion is that you can put as many things as you want on the background as long as you don't impose this to everyone. I only have my favorite image as well as the date and time and I don't want anything else, not even the message circle I disabled. A plus for me would be that the background image changes regularly among a personal choice (images or links contained in a specific folder for example).
So whatever you add, make this optional please.

Thank you for the advertisement. This is an old message and unfortunately, the first link is down but it was here only to explain what we did at the begining and did not work. I think the end of my post remains valid and give additionnal information related to this
Hope this help

Hello,
I remember when I got my Aquaris BQ E5 Ubuntu Touch Edition that the file browser had a Network shortcut and that it allowed me to easily access my shared local area network including linux and windows machines. This function was lost somewhere between OTA ?? and OTA 15 (I don't know why). Today under OTA 15, the file manager crashes without any message as soon as you try to access the network.
I don't know what is the status for the last OTA of UBport but IMHO if this simple access function is missing, it is a really bad point for this OS.

PS : I use Wifitransfer and mainly uFtp instead but this is just a workaround

Well, once more, is seems you should read this for the external one.
