Re: [Ubuntu-phone] A very open thank you.
This is no different than google refusing to allow you to use their software unless you have a google accountor google refusing to let you download from the playstore unless you have a google account. Or, yahoo refusing to allow you access to their mailing lists unless you have a yahoo account. In the case of facebook, they don't give a rats tail about a few ubuntu-phone users. All they see is that your phone doesn't respond 'normally' and since they can't harvest personal information on behalf of them and their partners, they aren't allowing you to use their services. Speaking for myself, I am interested in ubuntu-phone because I dumped microsoft in 2011 and use ubuntu on my laptop everyday. I believe that what's on my computer is mine and no one else's, and the ubuntu-phone brings the privacy and security one step closer to realization. I dumped google, even their search engine. I don't use yahoo, facebook, twitter, linkedin, yahoo or other services that demand that I compromise my security or privacy. I'm new to the list and look forward to the day when I can dump android in favor of ubuntu-phone.

Where is the logic behind removing the ability to message people for anyone who doesn't have an apple or android device? Oh and the message asking me to download the app is just pouring salt into the wound by the way! -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Port from CyanogenMod
I have the same question. I came to the list looking for an alternative to anything android. I want to control my phone (and privacy) myself, hence my interest in ubuntu phones. I'd really like to put ubuntu on my (already existing) rooted Samsung S3. The list is great and I'm glad to see others interested in ubuntu phones. Thanks to all who contribute and to those who administer and maintain the list. Art On 09/01/2016 08:08 AM, AM AM wrote: Hi, I have a HTC running CyanogenMod. What is the fastest way to get up and running with Ubuntu by porting over from CM ? Do I need sources from only the kernel or do I also need to grab config from the device source for CM itself?

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Canonical branded phone?
Question... I read all the comments, and I am now curious. What is to stop Canonical from releasing their own branded phones right now?? Just because the current 'offering' isn't Canonical branded, Is there anything that prevents them from selling a Canonical branded phone later on?? After all, now we know that a linux based phone actually works, what is to stop Canonical (or even myself) from seeking out an independent phone OEM, buying them in bulk and rebranding them, complete with the linux software already installed? Great list all, I hope to see the linux phone succeed! It's about time we take back control of our own phones and block all the 'features' that rob us of our privacy!!
