Inspired by the similar topic about LineageOS I’d like to describe my experience with updates to Ubuntu Touch by UBPorts.
Installed via updater to 15.04 r19 (aka. OTA-3).
The following things work so far for me
- call / be called
- send SMS / receive SMS
- internet via WiFi
- internet via mobile network
- location
- main camera (new module)
- selfie camera (new module)
- but picture is upside down
- USB connection to PC / MTP
- USB OTG
- alarm (incl. swiping it off)
- screenshot (press + hold Vol-up and Vol-down)
- bluetooth (speakers)
The following doesn’t work for me so far
- Flash (new camera module; known issue)
- Adding an owncloud account (in settings > accounts)
- correct URL is shown as “invalid host URL”
- my guess is: problem with self-signed certificate; see also Problem to access owncloud selfsigned
- Spotify web player
- looks like only the main content is displayed, no way to login
- External monitor via WiFi direct (with a Samsung BD-J5500 Blu-Ray player)
- screen does not update anymore after around one minute
- small strip on the left of the screen is not visible
Things I haven’t found out yet
- How to make a system backup
- didn’t find something in the UBPorts recovery (which is needed for the updater to work properly)
Plus more stuff I haven’t tried yet…
