    • RE: Porting in 2019 - a true journey

      I second the support for working the documentation in UBports Docs, it is better to keep things organized and centralized, and at least for me reading is much more valuable that watching a video, but I'm from a non-media generation. For instance I'm still struggling with the lack of mailing lists in this community (fortunately we have this forum, because I get completely lost in the chats).

    • Google will not allow Ubuntu Touch to sync any more from July 15 2019 on

      Despite that I would love not to depend on Google, I have to sync my UT calendar and contacts with my Google accounts, as this is what my job uses. But it seems that Google is changing security policies and will not allow UT to sync any more with their services. This is the email I received:

      "Hello,

      Although you do not have to do anything, we want to inform you that it is possible the following applications stop accessing some of the data of your Google Account, such as the content of Gmail. If these applications do not meet the requirements of the new data policy before the stipulated date, they will not be able to access the account after July 15, 2019.

      Ubuntu

      This change is part of our constant efforts to guarantee the privacy and protection of your data.

      In the Google Account you can check, manage and delete whenever you want the applications that you have granted access to."

      Is there anything that can be done to keep the ability to sync to Google apps?

      @mark-volpetti Mark, this a community project, so there are no "they" and "we", there is only "we". You can go to the web-site repository and open a ticket ("issue"):

    • Forking apps from the Canonical store

      There are a couple of apps in the Ubuntu Store that I'm interested in and that don't seem to have any chance of being moved over by the original authors to the OpenStore. These are apps that were created like 2 years ago, received a couple of updates, but haven't been touched any further in the last two years.

      My questions:

      1. Is it OK to fork them and move them to the Openstore? (They are all free software with GPL licences)

      2. Should the original authorship be kept in the package, or only in the code?

    • RE: Guide: set up a clickable working environment inside a LXC contiainer

      @Emanuele-Sorce Thanks a lot for such a detailed guide, I think it's crucial that we have a working development environment if we want to contribute.

    • RE: Move from Github to Gitlab?

      The acquisition has been confirmed. I would vote to move out, Microsoft is incompatible with the free software spirit of UBPorts, unless they also decide to GPL all their code, which they will not do. Gitlab looks like a good option.

    • RE: July 22, 2017 UBports Community Update

      @RandomUser I'm moving this discussion to the Support forum on a new thread, as I think it got off topic here.

    • RE: Support for what people actually want

      @Flohack I agree, but there are some apps we will never get outside ios or android, like municipal and public services apps, since they don't release the apis and such to code them. For these cases something like andbox is really needed...

    • RE: Phone not powering on - One plus One phone

      @tommy Just leave it plugged for a couple of hours, and then long press on the power button. It happened to me a couple of times that it took a while until it revived.

    • RE: OPO location services not working

      @dremelts I have an OPO also with OTA 15 stable channel and GPS works normally. It takes a while until it gets the first fix and applications start responding, something like between 10 to 15 minutes outdoors.

    • RE: 6P ADB : no connection

      Another way is to put the key in a server where you have an account, and tranfer it to the device from the server using sftp.

    • RE: Daily driver?

      I'm a daily user of UT since 2016. First an BQ Acquaris E5 (model from memory), then a Nexus 5 and now an OPO. The OPO's bluetooth can send and receive phone calls from my car right now.

      Only thing missing is some apps that my municipality only provides in Google Play and Apple store, with Google location services or else it doesn't work, really sad for a public institution.

    • RE: Mailing lists

      @Flohack As an old advocate, and without wanting to open any debate so this is going to be my only post, I just want to say that I still miss a searchable and threaded mailing list archive, it's a pain for me each time I want to find old info in this project. But kudos anyway for all the work, I will keep looking in Telegram and the forum.

    • RE: Pinephone Braveheart does not boot from SD card any more

      @tsar_chasm Yes, that solved it. Too bad so many good solutions are buried in the Telegram chats.

      Also as a constructive suggestion it could be helpful to add at the Gitlab readme that current images do not boot unless you start from this one.

      @AppLee I do have a serial cable, and I produced a log which you can see in the Gitlab issue:

    • RE: Pinephone Braveheart does not boot from SD card any more

      @kugiigi dd and Ubuntu Disk Creator from desktop. I used these same two methods a lot of times before with UBports, and it is also the method I use for the other distributions, and they work perfectly fine.

      Take into account that the image does start to boot, so it seems it is correctly burned, but it doesn't manage to boot.

      I tried bmap as you suggested in the Gitlab issue but it didn't work for me, it produced an error, I don't remember now exactly which.
