I am still wondering what that minimum of 32GB flash storage means. Everywhere they talk about how you can connect your device to a monitor to have the full desktop experience, and nowhere they say that you need a minimum of 32GB flash storage for that... ONLY on their website: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/operators-and-oems

So, what does that mean? No desktop convergence if you don't have 32GB of storage? I highly doubt that.
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
Those are the specs for their high end phone only the high end phone is able to do convergence not the low end ones. When they ship and Ubuntu phone they prefer the storage to be a 32gb standard, just like Google chooses 2 models of the nexus 4(8gb,16gb)
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
It also uses the android kernel, but it does not run in a java virtual machine
[Nexus 4 General] jawonder:
Is there a flashable zip for Ubuntu on the Nexus 4 ?, for Galaxy Nexus there are two zips you can flash like a rom and if going back to Android you just wipe and restore a backup .
[Nexus 4 General] thebryceee:
Same thing for the nexus 4. Read back 20 something pages.

[Nexus 4 General] jawonder:
I read through a good amount of pages and i didn't see it , would think that it would be in the OP .
[Nexus 4 General] xboxfanj:
Look up.
[Nexus 4 General] jawonder:
Yeah i found it Samuel .
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
At the same time it could still be an issue. I forsee them allowing apps to disable the swipes in certain situations (like games) a la full screen mode in Android. They would just be required to implement an exit button in the app.
[Nexus 4 General] Kid Poker:
It was completely non-responsive. Maybe I will try 1 more time.
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
You have to hit it just right at times
[Nexus 4 General] Nuu~:
Long press power button (or power and vol+for example) to either enable/disable swipes instantly or bring up a menu to do so.

Problem solved
[Nexus 4 General] YoursTrulySarcastic:
Not really, holding power down turns the phone off. If the way you solve your problems is by turning off your phone, good luck.
[Nexus 4 General] Somairotevoli:
Long press in like two seconds not ten. same way androids power button works. Quick press screen off/on. Long press power menu. Hold to power off.

[Nexus 4 General] YoursTrulySarcastic:
As of now, Ubuntu powers off in about 2 seconds of having the power button held down. You really think people are going to be ok with having to hold down their power button every time they open a game or an app? It's very un-user friendly. You offer a solution, but it is a very awkward and ergonomically displeasing solution.
[Nexus 4 General] Serious_Beans:
Anyone find some sort of official change log for nightly builds or should I just be checking gerrit?
[Nexus 4 General] MountainX:
That seems very reasonable to me. Your point, which I agree with, is that the issue can be solved without a great deal of difficulty. (I thought the prior reply to your comment was harsh and unwarranted.)
[Nexus 4 General] istmar:
Any news for when will this be ready to go??

Does anybody know When will Ubuntu be merging Ubuntu touch to upstream 13.04?
[Nexus 4 General] speedyjay:
Thanks buddy :) any idea how to delete text messages etc?? misses keeps asking who all these weird people are lol
[Nexus 4 General] xboxfanj:
Probably some time in April when 13.04 is officially released (out of nightly stage). I believe 13.10 is going to be the real unification though. 13.04 definitely lays the groundwork, but by 13.10, the software on all platforms should be the same.

Re: [Dev] USB OTG Tests

I think its amazing that for the first time, you don't just buy an android phone, you buy a piece of hardware running android and just like a PC, if you want to you can install another operating system altogether.

[Nexus 4 General] thebryceee:
Is there any major differences from the current build from the one initially released?
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
I doubt we will see anything major for at least a month :(
[Nexus 4 General] furrypotato:
I havent tried since since release...

For anyone who knows how to do this, it is possible to pull the changelog for each days build, which would allow us to see what's changed so far..

./generate-ppa-changelog.py -s quantal -t phablet-team -p ppa -d 20130317

Just chnage the date at the end to each day you want it for.
[Nexus 4 General] thebryceee:
Yeah I haven't tried it since the initial release either
[Nexus 4 General] randomnoob83:
Bump, Any words and a stable release?
[Nexus 4 General] shockem:
I tried the 28/3 build yesterday. Not any difference from the first build from mwc. Some fixes and it is smoother. other than that nothing. I would advice you wait for a official word from them on the stable build

[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Yessir wipe first

NEXUS⁴
[Nexus 4 General] Thibaultvw:
Are there any bugs? I heart from a friend with GNexus there are a lot. And can you just flash in CWM by wiping data, cache & dalvik cache? If you're on Ubuntu, can you just restore a Nandroid to go back?
[Nexus 4 General] justin11141:
yeah there are several bugs and many things that dont work but its pretty smooth and almost a daily driver. you can flash it in recovery but i Adb sideloaded. and yes you can restore a nandroid.
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:

[Nexus 4 General] justin11141:
browser was working on wifi too, it was suprisingly smooth too. can't wait to use the daily driver whenever it comes out, lets hope its soon :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] istmar:
+1 :)
[Nexus 4 General] A1L3:
hey just curious, i really want to give this a try but am worried about the power consumption bug and am curious as to whether or not its still present
[Nexus 4 General] ddz334:
Don't worry. Power consumption bug would be the least of your problem. It is not still a daily use version. Just give a look and flash back the nandroid. Still it is so beautiful and innovative.
[Nexus 4 General] eminembdg:
So do we need the quantal zip or the raring?
[Nexus 4 General] Tom540:
When I've looked up how to flash Ubuntu to my N4, almost everyone says it will completely wipe the device, but is this just the fast boot unlocking that does this - I am already rooted, so surely I just have to wipe data, cache and davlik and then install the mako zip and then phablet zip, as I would with a normal rom?
[Nexus 4 General] eminembdg:
The instructions on Ubuntu site start from unlocking the bootloader, which will factory reset your phone. But just flashing the two zips won't. But you should wipe all before flashing Ubuntu.

If you don't factory reset you'll end up with issues for sure. Just make a backup and restore it when you're done playing with Ubuntu
[Nexus 4 General] Tom540:
Thanks - so I just need to do the normal procedure as if I was just flashing a ROM, but with the two files? Or do I need to wipe the memory as well, which will include my nandroid backup?
[Nexus 4 General] eminembdg:
Factory reset and then flash the two files. I'm still not sure if we are supposed to use the raring or the other one tho. No-one has answered me yet
[Nexus 4 General] Tom540:
Thank you again, and in answer to your question all the tutorials I've looked at have said to flash the

quantal-preinstalled-armel+mako.zip

and the

quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip

if that was what you were asking?
[Nexus 4 General] eminembdg:
Thanks to you as well. Please hit the thanks button on my posts if they helped you :thumbup:

I'm assuming we can't use android kernels anymore with Ubuntu?? Anyway to change gamma/screen calibration once we flash ubuntu
[Nexus 4 General] tory13579:
Yes you need to flash this after

raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip

I believe it runs the android kernel so in theory we should be able too at a later date when it is usable enough for people to develop on. But you won't be able to flash like Franco kernel and expect it to work.
[Nexus 4 General] leos0000:
U need flash lol 2 files look on web site.mako file and another one zip like 500mb lolfurst mako after this is zip

[Nexus 4 General] yabbandroid:
I waited for this back then when it came out but first reviews were not so enthusiastic so I didn't try it out, now things seem to have changed though if it is almost fully functional with the exception of mobile data.. I'm going to flash it now to try it out, already made a backup in twrp.

Is there a way to import google contacts into Ubuntu phone? I wouldn't want to type all my numbers manually
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
I couldn't find a way for contacts. It doesn't seem to even have a settings interface or at least one I couldn't find. I'm too used to android for such a drastic change and its far from dd for me. Can't play any music you have, no data, limited to only system apps
[Nexus 4 General] PeteSeiler2010:
You could copy them to your SIM if you have the ability to.

Not completely sure it will work, but that is what I was going to do when I try it out here in a few minutes.
[Nexus 4 General] yabbandroid:
Yeah, thanks for the replies, guys. Well my first impressions are the following. I really like the interface, it is suprisingly stable and fluid. I think this could already be much more than it is. What it is, sadly, at the moment it is only a "product preview" of what Ubuntu touch could look like one day when it will be officially released.

I tried the phone application to dial a simple number but even that was not accepted by the system. Instead it shows me all those fake messages and content I will never use (videos on the Ubuntu store etc) only to showcase the OS. I understand that's what they want to do and they write everywhere that people should not expect a functional OS but OK. I didn't expect "fully functional", but a bit functional :P And I'm under the impression that they are restricting the Ubuntu experience at the moment more than they would have to.

I don't need the fake data on every installation, that is good for a product fair but for us as testers? Well..

But anyway, as I have said before, the OS is really nice, I hope it will see further development and get better and better. I would switch if it is operational one day. Thumbs up to the devs out there anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] sosta1:

Full wipe before? (This is guessing work on my part.. ;D)

But it's weird because it worked fine on my phone and as I said it ran very well, only a few glitches in the main OS interface imho.. I think Android prior to 4.0 was much worse :P

there actually IS some news, I guess:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/current/
[Nexus 4 General] styckx:
Meh... Canonical are kings of disappointment. They blew their load with Ubuntu touch after that first preview that they hyped up to oblivion and back alluding to it going to be usable to some degree when it was nothing more than a rough non-functioning framework mockup. This is going to be nothing but the Facebook Home for Canonical.. Neat to look for a few seconds but no one will buy it when they try to sell a phone w/ it pre-installed.
[Nexus 4 General] xboxfanj:
13.10 is here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/

Since it's not in the preview dir, this may be better and also, 13.10 has Mir and should be more optimized for phones and tablets.

No mako or other device files there though, so maybe try the raring zip with it.
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
Anybody done this?
[Nexus 4 General] yabbandroid:
Wow, they call it a "daily build" is this new too or is it similar to the nightlies ? I guess this doesn't mean it's a daily driver or does it ?

I would like to try it but I don't wanna try it first, I don't know what to flash :D
[Nexus 4 General] redhunter22:
.

I'm so excited about the porject,i hope we,nexus 4 users,can get it soon
[Nexus 4 General] yabbandroid:
Yeah, I hope it is a daily driver soon. I m scared to flash those files as they are not Mako specific ?? I'm no expert so I will wait for somebody else who knows what they're doing.- Please somebody try though and tell what is new :D
[Nexus 4 General] justin11141:
You need to flash the mako.zip and phablet.armhf.zip after
[Nexus 4 General] yabbandroid:
Yes, I did that with the old version, but now with 13.10 we have this new file : saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip and no special mako specific file, at least I can't find one in the folder.
[Nexus 4 General] justin11141:
Oh I didn't see that file..guess we'll have to wait for someone to try it that knows what to do Haha
[Nexus 4 General] tory13579:
All you have to do is flash the standard mako zip and the saucy zip instead of the raring phablet. I flashed it when it came out but there was no difference between them at the time. I am sure that has changed now though.
[Nexus 4 General] yabbandroid:
I guessed that had to be the proper procedure as well, but I wasn't sure.

So you flashed saucy zip already like that? I'm not sure if you meant to say you flashed the current ubuntu or an older ubuntu touch.

I tried the older ubuntu touch release and reverted back to android after an hour of playing around at maximum as it was in a very unfinished state, but if saucy is the functional ubuntu they have promised us by the end of may I would try it again. :)
[Nexus 4 General] thebryceee:
So is it a daily driver yet or....
