Feature request - it would be nice to have this to reduce the strain on my eyes at night

@Andrisk Sounds like it got stuck on the update. Try this https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10130

For Nexus 5 PolarCell.

I've put a lot of work into it, and other than doing the Nexus 5X battery mod, no battery works better.

Would it be possible to incorporate a Swype style keyboard action or hand writing recognition into Ubuntu Touch?

@GizmoChicken Pine64 forum says LTE with GPS optional if using EG25 module that is in the Pinephone - using the expansion board they have made.

I do hope they recommend the best place in the case to place the antennas.

Maybe some of these ideas will help?

Apparently there is a group already working on a solution to access the camera from the android HAL and present it to Linux:

"provides a set of interfaces to libcamera for existing applications; they will include a V4L compatibility layer, an Android HAL interface, and a GStreamer interface. The intent is to make libcamera suitable for all Linux-based devices." https://lwn.net/Articles/794555/

@jjconstr The Nexus 5 is a great phone, soon to be better with a halium upgrade. The main complaint about it is finding a good replacement battery. I've tried a couple and found the best battery is from a German company - PolarCell Battery for LG Google Nexus 5 D821 D820 BL-T9 EAC62078701 2450mAh. It is available on eBay if you are not in the EU.

It's a good quality after market - which means new, not old stock sitting on a shelf for half a decade, nor is it a cheap knock off rebranded. I've had it for a year now and still holds a full charge just like it used to when I bought the phone from Google.

@trainailleur VoLTE is not controllable in the software, But, it does negotiate and run at least on T-mobile - because of the Sprint conversion. T-mobile has turned it on for any device on their network. I know AT&T has done the same. Verizon requires you to call and input a code to turn it on for your phone.

The call kit is the software that interacts with the modem to place calls. On XDA-Developers you'll find where someone patched it for the Trek 2. I tried it. It works, but it's buggy. Voip works perfectly though to make calls - Google Voice , Linphone, etc. The Trek 2 and the LG Gpad X 8 both work really well. I have hopes those two will make for good ports to UT. They are both very well documented and supported after-market .

@trainailleur VoLTE does work on my Nexus 6P- experimental UT build. It also works on the PinePhone. So, it should work on the Pinetab.

I have a ZTE Trek 2 HD, an 8 inch android tablet. The call kit works on it with Lineage OS, Kang, and other ROMs, as does SMS. I am trying to put together a Halium build, but I'm not a Dev, so it's not going easy. My last last attempt to port a device failed because of a device tree issue. I have greater confidence in this one because all the sources including vendor are well documented - it has a perfectly running Lineage 14.1 build and I think is a great candidate for UT. If I am successful, it will make a nice 8" phone.

For the devices that are not VoLTE capable, there's always Voip

@Flohack Not exactly all the same numbers, but the same faults over and over, yes.

@tcoulon swipe To the left quickly to switch apps, slowly to view open apps. swipe up or down to close apps or get extra features in apps

@Flohack Wildly varying speeds as high as 16mb/s. long ping latency 48-162ms !

Avg of 1.5mb/sec

Same service on android phone next to it - solid 20-30Mb/s

@Girlycard777 apt upgrade is not the way to update the system in UT. UT is locked down for security reasons, click packages being the way to install apps. Both apps and the system are updated via system updates in the settings panel

@Flohack I'm curious to try it, Anbox, so please do when you get a chance. I had a similar issue with my x86 tablet anbox build, the same fix might work with this one.

@Girlycard777 Use this https://ci.ubports.com/job/xenial-hybris-edge-rootfs-arm64/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/out/ubuntu-touch-hybris-xenial-edge-arm64-rootfs.tar.gz

@Flohack running 8-cores, the latest system, rootfs, etc.

Camera working including flash, but when flash is used, the device freezes requiring manual reboot. after reboot, the flash photo is in the gallery, intact. Video does not work, but does not crash the camera either

Strange enough, flashlight does not work, even though flash does.

Rotation and all sensors consistently working, smooth as butter.

SSH and MTP mode work. RNDIS works

Still not working - audio in calls, bluetooth, hotspot.

You said anbox was included. I ran the procedure from the docs, still says not in the kernel. I tried to wget the anbox build for angler, it says no kernel for angler. Did I miss something?

I don't always pose for photos, but when I do, I do so with a Nexus6P running Ubuntu Touch!

Well, that was just plain weird. So, it turns out there appears to be an issue with the latest halium install script and Android-sdk-tools on Linux. If you run into the same problem I had, you need to apply these fixes:
