I want one of the early adopters batch as well! Just take my money now!

Just installed new Demo Browser and I'm pleasantly supprised how it works. In some aspects, better than Morph itself!
No Unity8 crashes so far! Yes, it's basic, but a great start for an awesome browser.
Thank you Mateo Salta!

For anyone with Meizu Pro 5 who might have a trouble to install a new 16.04 OTA-4 on Pro 5, I created a full clean install of 16.04/stable to by restored with TWRP.
Here is the link.

@wlbi After OTA-4 there should be more focus on porting to a new devices, as guys from Ubports said. There are some candidates as Oneplus 3 and 5 and some guys managed to port it to Xiaomi as well. We wait for the new edge channel and hopefully there will be experimental builds soon.
Yes, I know, it's frustrating to wait, but don't forget this is a community project, not under Canonical anymore, so it takes time. That's the price to pay, but we should be happy that this project did not die after it was abandoned by Canonical.

I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Just tested new Edge 30.07.2019 image on Pro 5.
Oh yeah, the new launcher is great and is so much better then the old one. Even home button on Pro 5 works. When pressed, it behaves like swipe from left and pressed again like swipe from right.

New Unity8/Mir is working smooth on Pro 5. The best performance/smoothness/speed ever!

Hi, is there a way to directly send funds in EUR to Ubports Foundation? Iban account no? (EU)
THANKS.

@Ghostrider Bluetooth issues will be sorted, it's on the list to do, after more important issues and upgrades. I know, it's a long waiting for that to be fixed, but with limited workforce, there is no other way around it, unfortunately.

@ubportsnews
Has the decision about a new Launcher been made or not yet, as it is targeted for the next OTA's together with a new Mir and Unity 8, so what it is going to look like?

@hans1977se It's gone to rc channel now, if all good, should be released soon.

Hi all,
I don't want to stir the muddy water here, but is there any chance that Pro 5 will be updated to Xenial? Back in Canonical days of Ubuntu Touch there was even working 16.04.2 STAGING channel image and it was booting. Yes, it was unstable like the ice on summer sun, but it was there. I read somewhere along the lines that Pro 5 will only get a bug fixes but no Xenial upgrade/rebase. It doesn't make a sense to scrap it. There are probably some other users with Pro 5, that would love to have this device to be moved to core devices.
Please can someone explain this device situation?

@kristatos oh yeah, I think all of us would love to see bluetooth calling working, any info would be welcome.

This is getting interesting.
The good thing for us Ubuntu Touch users is that the Duopoly Apple & Google operating systems might just loose their Duopoly in the world. So more people/companies/vendors might look for an alternatives and maybe willing to contribute to FOSS...

I was wondering why is Media player not shown as a standalone app and only when trying to play some video file? Could that be changed to show it as default as the other apps like Music player for example?

@advocatux If that happens, I'll donate £ 1.000.000 to Ubports foundation very happily!!!

I did not want to resurrect the old thread, so creating the new one here.
I followed the guide to update the baseband/modem
link text
and after some time testing the new modem version I can say that there is great improvement in stability of network, mainly data connection. Phone doesn't loose signal so often, has better, stronger and stable connection in places previously did not have. Doesn't jump from 4G to H or 3G like crazy, etc... I can tell, cos I'm traveling a lot (Lorry driver) in UK. Recommended to anyone with signal issue on Pro 5. My Pro 5 is LTE version(International) and is running OTA-7 stable. So stable connection a slightly better battery life, not overheating anymore( it did happpen before in places with low signal and heavy internet browsing )

I love the new launcher on Nexus 7. Lush!

@DanChapman I love it already! Nice design, excellent work. Thank you Dan!

Plus I want to stress that the UT experience on Pro 5 is far more better than on e.g. Nexus 5, 4
Far better battery life and a nice big Amoled screen- a really good Ubuntu Touch reference device.

@lakotaubp Wow! Impressed with the new Morph Browser. Speedy one. Thanks Ubports.

@lakotaubp Nice diplomacy there
Yes, be nice to each other and work together towards the Ubuntu Touch mobile OS dominance.
