Well, as I know, in the beginning "Ubuntu Touch" was not allowed, because it's a registered trademark of Canonical.
So the operating system was named UBports.
It's confusing.. Now it's Ubuntu Touch?
And as far as I remember way back, when Canonical was developing the system, it's also not called Ubuntu Touch, it's was just Ubuntu with the Unity desktop...
The plan was one desktop for all devices. Smartphone, Tablet, Deskop, ...
For me it's very wired, because always changing names ...

Well, I am using the website goingelectric

There are charging stations in whole Europe.

@AppLee said in Wish list : which apps do you need?:

A native app is easier to make than porting an existing android app.

So means to say, it's more easy to code the whole app, than make it working with Anbox?
But let's say, if only 10 or 20% of the Android apps are working with Anbox, it's already a huge gain in apps.

@Irenicus said in Wish list : which apps do you need?:

I think the best thing to do is get Android compatibility layer working.

I think so too...
All problems with non existing apps are solved at once, as soon it's possible to use Android apps.

@mymike That would be a great function, without privacy problems.

@Kaizen Your suggested design looks ok. But for my opinion, that black design isn't that nice. I more prefer white and clear design, than very dark and less contrast design.
Dark and black websites always have something negative.
Just check any website of huge companies, they are never dark or even black.
Text should always be whether full black on a light background, or full white on a dark background to maximum contrast and not some in between, to lower visibility and contrast.
Not everyone have perfect display and perfect 20:20 vision of the eyes.

@ramonb To make it short.. No you can't.
Smartphones don't have Intel or AMD processor with hardware detection. They are using usually ARM processors without and the os needs to be always exactly written for that specific hardware.
So basically each hardware, even if there is only small changes, it needs it's own operating system with ARM processors.

@guru Sure, it's working for calling and limited for SMS, because of the small, text. If you have perfect eyes, it's probably ok, but I don't have and it's almost not readable.
On Android I can set "screen zoom" and everything is bigger that I can read it.
The menus of the apps, the text in the apps and everything display in the apps.
Also in Android I can set "Font size and style" of the text. It will affect not only the text of the "websites in the browser" It will affect all text of menus and everything.

If I am recording a video for my YouTube channels, it's not usable.
Also I can't do live streaming on YouTube.

If I use it for photos while we travel around, the quality of the photos is not comparable with my Samsung Galaxy S8 phone.

If I like to use it for browsing the web, it's quite hard, because of the small display.

If I like to use the BQ E4.5 for convergence and connect a external display, it's not possible.

In my opinion, for calling it's fine, but I think for more it's not really a usable device...
Even the phone book and the history is almost not readable. Yes I can read it, but it's quite hard...

@Pookie
I bought one of the first BQ Aquais E4.5, when Canonical offer that with Ubuntu Touch in early days. I installed UBports on it and it's working.
But to be true, I am not using it anymore, except to make the next update every few weeks, to see what's the progress.
You can use it for calling and SMS, but the Text is so small on this device.
Yes you can also use the web browser, but if you don't have perfect vision with your eyes, everything is so small.
Also in the system settings, the text is so small that I almost can't use it.
Anbox and connecting external display isn't working too on that phone, so I would not advice to buy it.
It's just an old small outdated device....

In my opinion, the empty desktop should be used for something.
What is the use of an big empty space?
If people don't like to use it and love emptiness, it's ok. But fore those like to use the space for getting some information should be able to do it.
The only thing you can use right now is a static desktop image.

@Mic_ said in All german public authorities and private companies could be forced stopp using Twitter, Fb & Co.:

If I think about how masses of people could be teached which plattforms they should use to avoid all these negative developements

People don't care about all these negative developments. What people care about is a smooth running and easy to use system, with all possibilities.
That's why UBports is not that famous, because of missing apps for their daily routine. Most people don't like to make extra effort if everything is that easy with Android.
Never mind how stable and safe UBports is, it will never be for the people, because they can't use the software they already know, to have an easy life.

I changed using 100% only Ubuntu Touch, when it first came out with the BQ E4.5. But after about 2 years, I changed back to Android, because it makes life so much easier.
But unfortunately, I have to pay for the easy life with my datas.

Just don't be stupid...
All services like "Twitter, Facebook, Google" which are companies and for free of use, will make money with your data.
They are all billion dollar companys, just by selling using your data and using your data to make money.
None of the workers there working without receiving a monthly salary just for the good of mankind.
So how can it be, that German public authorities, who are obliged to keep the data confidential, using that services, which are scanning all data and using it for commercial business?

Actually that's strict against the law.

@UBportsNews said in Jan(Neothethird) At Chaos Communication Congress:

Great to watch... Thanks for this link!

@Mark Oh is it really?
For me this in UK seems to be cheap: https://www.4g.co.uk/news/unlimited-data/
In Germany I am paying for my contract since almost 3 years 29 Euro monthly, unlimited calls, unlimited text and 15 GB 4G speed. If I am over that 15 GB monthly, I have still unlimited data, but only 3G speed.
But to be true, 3G speed is still enough to watch on YouTube Full HD videos.

@sorath72 Just curious, are there really plan nowadays, which has that expensive data included? Actually even the cheapest plan has nowadays unlimited data included.

When will Anbox be ready to use as a daily driver?

@kugiigi I hear that "App will come later when the system is better" since ... 2001 I guess.
Still missing real useful pure apps.
I ordered the first Ubuntu Phone, just when it was released and some later the first Ubuntu tablet. I used it as my daily driver for about one year, but now I am back to Android, because missing a lot of apps.
Everything is Web-Apps... But why using an web-app? Actually I can open any website in the browser, so I don't need extra app.

@kugiigi said in Other uses for Convergence, presenter mode?:

but I don't think it will land soon. Probably mid this year or late this year? Once we got that then maybe we can explore more possibilities

For me, that convergence is the main thing, why using Ubuntu Touch.

2nd most important would be to use native Android apps, because Ubuntu Touch has almost no pure apps, only that implemented websites as Web-Apps.

@jradxl Some years ago I recorded a German video on YouTube, how to install Android on that tablet.
Maybe it helps, without understanding what I am talking

@Flohack said in How many people use Ubuntu Touch?:

@Opolork Yeah its low. But the main reason is that we do not support newer devices. Once that is cleared, we will see more users.

Exact, that's one of my reasons, why I am not using Ubuntu on my Smartphone anymore.
I don't like to bring always two phones with me. One UBports and one with power and good hardware.
