Hello,
is there anyone running Ubuntu 16.04 on their legacy device or who would be willing to give it a go just to test this issue: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/434?
I am using MX4 and am experiencing constant UI freezes while using the phone, as described in the bug report. And I wonder if it is just me or if this is a MX4 issue or even a wider one.
If you can confirm that please add your comment to the respective ticket on GitHub to confirm it.
Thank you
@grisen I feel like I've been always experiencing this with my MX4. Unfortunately it works equally bad with Android (Cyanogenmod) as well as Ubuntu Touch.
@abrekkos Did you enabled it dragging the bottom handle on the main screen? Though if it is not there I still don't know as I haven't tested it.
Well, I believe the main issue is the Ubuntu store is no longer present in the system images and I am afraid the Libertine scope is not available in the Open Store. A possible solution would be to downgrade to an older release - install the scope (if the Ubuntu Store is still up) and then upgrade again. Though it would probably be easier if someone has the click package for you to install via terminal or eg. using UT Tweak app.
PS. Here is something that may work: http://people.canonical.com/~townsend/libertine-scope/ (though it may not be the most up-to-date release, just the first I could find)
@marathon2422 Oh, no at all. I understand that what I've installed is not recommended for daily use. I was just curious whether the issues I've mentioned are also present on other devices as well.
In any case the fact 16.04 is available for MX4 I haven't even hoped for is a good enough reason for me to at least play with it for a few days :). And since I've been mostly on Android after Canonical decided not to continue with the project I've found a really easy way to dualboot between both systems: https://iubuntu.cz/dualboot-mx4.html so I plan to keep 16.04 and add Android as another option once I install it again.
Update: Some of the mentioned issues have already been fixed: https://github.com/ubports/system-settings/pull/34
Hello,
first of all I would like to thank the developers of UBports for bringing Ubuntu 16.10 to my MX4. It was one of the best Christmas presents. However, I am curious about the following:
I understand that 16.04 is still very unstable but I was curious whether this is just happening on MX4 or happens on all 16.04 builds.
Overall it seems to be pretty stable and although some apps are not working at all (like Hangups) or are crashing a lot (SMS, Google Plus webb app) but just the feeling of having Ubuntu 16.04 makes it all worthwhile :).
And one last thing, the kernel on MX4 is 3.10. Does it mean it should be capable of running snaps and therefore Anbox in the future? Currently snaps are not present in the image and I wonder if that's the case for all 16.04 images or just those for legacy devices.
I would appreciate all the information you can give me on this.
@emerson Yes, this is a bug and it is reported: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-touch/issues/41 but for some reason closed.
@bq4.5 Hmm, that's very odd as I've often used UT Tweak Tool to remove eBay, Amazon and other scopes when I was still on Canonical images. Unfortunately I have no idea about the torch :/ - but I would consider writing the author of that indicator in case there is an easy fix.
@bq4.5 You can try this app https://open.uappexplorer.com/app/ut-tweak-tool.sverzegnassi. If you select "Apps Scopes" from the top left hamburger menu you get a list of all click packages installed on your phone - tap on any and click the top right trash bin button to remove it.
@bq4.5 Yup, this trick works everywhere as sometimes the keyboard just won't pop itself up.
