Are you not able to deal with google or any other search engine?
Open your brain... Why they are not allowing any third party application? Why they blocking immediately any account, using third party apps?

Nexus 5X
I thought about the Nexus 5x too, but I don't know how the development status for this device is.
@guru said in BQ m10 fhd refurbished:
I went to the store https://store.bq.com/en/aquaris-m10-fhd-ubuntu and they even sell it as Ubuntu... What does this mean now, BQ && Ubuntu? And, what does mean 'refurbished'?
I had a BQ M10 FHD Ubuntu tablet with a broken NVRAM during warranty, which BQ took back and sended me a new one. I am sure that hardware problem was fixed and they sell it now as refurbished...
Well, from my point of view, the UBports operating system is the best mobile operating system so far.
Good means, not having millions of apps, good means it's open source, no secrets and the best fact is the convergence.
Convercence is where all operatingsystems like to be. Windows, Android and Apple, they are all aiming to that destination.
Windows failed so far, but I am sure, it will not stop. Android is not a good desktop operating system at all.
What makes Android strong is the brutal marketing of Google. What makes Windows strong is the brutal marketing of Microsoft.
What makes UBports strong is open source, privacy, no spying and perfect convergence.
I am sure it's on a good way for the world dominance

Let's go for rank 1 out of that 307... :-)

I think that is a great idea, if you can reach something on universities, that they will look more on open source and UBports.
I think that will be a hard job to convince them, using GNU Linux instead of Android and Windoze.
My neighbor is a professor for computer science at university. When I talk about about Linux with him, some years ago, they are not interested. Windows is what they like and know, and what the industrie is aiming for to make money with...
But go for it, if you can achieve something, GREAT!!!
@swedennis
I am just curious, what would be your advantage, to use UBports on a Rasberry Pi, instead of a regular Ubuntu installation?
Yes, you can convert the Pi to a cellphone, but that's a big work with a lot of extra hardware.

Looks not very handy as a daily driver... ;-)

Off topic, just the YouTube link, already to the right time ;-)

@flohack said in Samsung porting notes, a loose collection:
Instead, the device needs to be brought into "Download Mode". This can be achieved by:
Manually by pressing Vol-Down, Home and Power button until the green warning text appears
On my Samsung Galaxy S8, there is no physical home button, only virtual on the display.
I figured out, instead of the Home-Button, I need to press the Bixby button, below Vol-Down,
then the green warning text appears...
