There are a number of projects on Patreon I would like to support but being a pauper I simply can't spare the funds for projects that aren't essential for my day to day life. I have however just signed up for $2 because Touch has come too far to be allowed to fail now. I'd like to think I can f

Hello Matthias, there will be new images for *all* official and unofficial devices soon (TM). This will probably not be a real OTA with a lot of new features, the most important goal is to seamlessly move everybody who wants to continue to use Ubuntu Touch to the UBports kingdom. Don't expect

Hey, thank you so much for your support, your contributions help a lot to keep Ubuntu Touch going. In fact, our patreon just today hit 500$ a month, that will cover most of our expenses to pay for servers and infrastructure. About asking Canonical for financial support: It'd be pretty darn

most of these are platform features that can't be third party things I think, especially suggesting disruptive sales models like selling it with Asterisk. I have always been rather sad at the feature chasing, and lack of defining a distinct market for the phone. The priority has always been thi

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [idea] how to get popular apps from other mobile markets

Just as an example it is possible to use freedomsponsors.org to vote and/or sponsor any open source development. They take 3% of payment, which is not great but is fine for me if it helps generating open source code. Here is a project: https://freedomsponsors.org/search/?project_id=323&operation=S

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [idea] how to get popular apps from other mobile markets

Nobody says Canonical should start copying popular apps, we are talking about users who want their ubers and whatsups right now and willing to pay for its development. I personally think this is potentially a future open source business model, when users pay once for development instead of many ti

Hi all, I do agree with Alan, all those apps will come eventually...but first we need to make a great phone with all that open-source world can give to us (and it's huge). Video call, sip, and doing something with the cricle of lock screen.and maybe the ability to change size of icons and bac

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [idea] how to get popular apps from other mobile markets

I think it is more important to have a unique selling point, trying to match other platforms app by app and feature by feature ends up building something that is designed for chasing the market segment "people who would rather have an iPhone". This doesn't seem to me like a great market. Going f

Oh, another popular demand is probably Whatsapp. There is a project [1] that is waiting for being ported to Ubuntu Phone (they have a branch in their repo for Ubuntu Phone already [2, 3]). Maybe raising money here would actually work. [4] [1] https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/whatsapp-alterna

Valid points. Though, in general, I guess doing Kickstarter projects for cool apps is not wrong as such. Anyone can do this as long as there are open resources available for the implementation (which is certainly not the case for Viber, for example; their server is out of our control, and they are

I think what you say make more sense in terms of Newtonian mechanics. There is a huge difference then: recalling that accelerometer measures acceleration (and not absolute velocity) it means that we cannot measure relative speed of phone to car because the phone is not accelerating.
