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

RE: Update Meizu Pro 5 Baseband
Quick update after 3 days with updated Pro5 Baseband:
- Overall mobile data and calls feel more smooth so far
- Battery consumption seems to have improved as well
- 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...

Update Meizu Pro 5 Baseband
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:
-
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) -
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/ -
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_MZ024AFTER:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ /usr/share/ofono/scripts/list-modems | grep Revision
Revision = S333_M86_20171221_CHNOPEN_MZt04
Revision = S333_M86_20171221_CHNOPEN_MZt04I 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 -

RE: kernel missing aes-xts-plain64 crypto ciphers - turbo, krillin & arale - others?
@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

RE: Q&A 39 This Saturday 27/10/18 @19:00 UTC.
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! -

RE: Recommendation for SD card encryption software on Ubuntu touch?
@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

RE: Recommendation for SD card encryption software on Ubuntu touch?
@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

RE: pdf to word ?
@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

RE: PinePhone
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 -

RE: BQ Aquaris M10 FHD - can I return to Andoid?
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...
