The following worked fine for me: open the Contacts App, select the Contacts wanted, click Share and the Folder wanted with the File Manager App.
This generate a vcf file that you can read, amend, import back in the Contacts App or almost anywhere else

Quick update after 3 days with updated Pro5 Baseband:

1. Overall mobile data and calls feel more smooth so far
2. Battery consumption seems to have improved as well
3. Wifi connection appears much more stable than previously

@mihael I do not use Bluetooth but would you know which firmware is that (maybe from @Stefano list)?

@Stefano Thanks, i might give it a go when i have some spare time in the next weeks...

Hi UBPorts Community,

Having experienced lots of signal issues recently with my Pro5, I decided to give it a go and the following looks promising:

Procedure:

1. Download from XDA (latest to date: https://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-pro-5/development/meizu-pro5-baseband-21-12-2017-t3727070)
   Extract the file /system/vendor/firmware/modem.bin and transfer it to your Pro5 (for instance to /home/phablet/Downloads)

2. Open terminal or SSH to your Pro5 and run the following commands:
   sudo -i
   mount -o remount,rw /
   cp /var/lib/lxc/android/system.img /home/phablet
   cd /home/phablet
   mkdir system
   mount -o loop system.img system
   cd system/vendor/firmware/
   rm modem.bin
   cp /home/phablet/Downloads/modem.bin ./
   chmod 644 modem.bin
   cd /home/phablet
   umount system
   mv /var/lib/lxc/android/system.img /var/lib/lxc/android/system.img.old
   cp system.img /var/lib/lxc/android/

3. Reboot

Here are the results on my spare original Pro5 Ubuntu Edition still running the latest Canonical OTA-15 behind a badly broken screen:

BEFORE:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ /usr/share/ofono/scripts/list-modems | grep Revision
Revision = S333_M86_20151002_CHNOPEN_MZ024
Revision = S333_M86_20151002_CHNOPEN_MZ024

AFTER:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ /usr/share/ofono/scripts/list-modems | grep Revision
Revision = S333_M86_20171221_CHNOPEN_MZt04
Revision = S333_M86_20171221_CHNOPEN_MZt04

I will try later on my day to day Pro5 on UBPorts r3 over the week end but let me know if anyone improves signal, especially if traveling in Europe

Peace,
Tera

@WillemHexspoor Try to switch Prevent App Suspension for Terminal in UT Tweak Tool App

@tera said in Meizu Pro5/turbo - kernel missing aes-xts-plain64 crypto ciphers:

Opened a matching issue for those interested: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1107

Added Bq E4.5/krillin & Meizu MX4/arale (thanks @zubozrout ) to the list

FYI, i checked further devices and ciphers are present on Fairphone 2/FP2 (confirmed working), Nexus 5/hammerhead (just confirmed working) & BQ m10 FHD/frieza (not yet confirmed due to space missing for apt-get update)

Please report if you can check on other available and supported devices

Hello,
Thanks for all the hard work and getting Xenial out
Following on the Halium question above:
What is the current status of the Librem/i.mx 6/8m image?
Are there plan to support the Pine Phone?
Additionally, what about Raspberry Pi and a VM image?
Thanks!

@PINE64 Sorry, i meant a GPS kill switch?

@advocatux Updated: Pro5/turbo: (64Gb version UbPorts OTA-3): 496M (32Gb version Canonical OTA-15): 679M

Just updated my Pro5 UBPorts r3 and looking good so far!!
Let's see in the next days...

@doniks try to plug it and wait a bit, got the same behavior the other day though battery did not look flat...

@keneda the same method is applicable, i used to have my sdcard encrypted on my FP2 using cryptsetup, terminal is required at each reboot to enter the passphrase

@keneda @Peter-Gamma the following is still relevant and working on some phone: https://forums.ubports.com/post/7444

See https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1107 for more details and how to check if your phone can support cryptsetup.

What @Emphrath describes sounds like similar recent requirements i got for Government Cloud related security accesss where SMS is not acceptable anymore for 2FA: https://www.okta.com/resources/whitepaper/configuring-okta-for-fedramp-compliance/

Some colleagues mentioned banks will have to transition soon/one day

Edit: see table at the top of the following page, SMS is considered "moderate" security: https://www.okta.com/resources/whitepaper/configuring-okta-for-fedramp-compliance/

@bforpc Have you tried lighttpd?
In my attempt to test MotionOS (using lighttpd if i'm not wrong...) in Libertine, i was able to access the Web UI in Morph: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2570/help-needed-motion-eye-in-a-container?lang=en-GB

@domubpkm Have not tried in Libertine, but you should be able to do it with LibreOffice, depending on type of PDF potentially though: open PDF in Draw, select all, copy, open new Writer, paste, save as M*#+@S Word

My understanding Is that an OS on the SD Card takes over the EMMC, so should allow easily to have multiple OS on the go (at least, it works on Pinebook Pro, duknow for the legacy one).
And, an extra 2p, a cheap Andro*# phone would not have kill switches or the option just highlighted

Seems they have something running?:

Maybe they can provide updates here

You should be able to do so using the SPFlashTools (as here from Android to Ubuntu: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fp3-fairphone-open-os/52301) but you will need to find the original Android scatter and associated files...
