No, updates are installed from recovery. Your changes *might* be preserved if you're lucky and the update doesn't touch any files you've changed either. Don't count on it. Luck-driven software development doesn't end well :) On Thu, Aug 20, 2015 at 1:35 PM Eric Holmi wrote: > And if I send it b

System updates doesn't work on a per-package basis, they just change the filesystem directly. I'd just skip updates while developing if I were you. The worst thing that can happen (probably) is that you'll need to reinstall Ubuntu on your phone, I don't think there's any chance it'll break your ph

Yeah it's pretty similar. The differences are that it's an ARM system instead of x86 and the way hardware access works (via an Android container). Also obviously it doesn't use X.org/compiz and instead it uses Mir. Other than that it's pretty much the same. On Thu, Aug 20, 2015 at 1:47 PM Eric Hol

No, it won't, so make sure you don't upgrade, or save your changes elsewhere before you do. Also, if you skip an OTA and install the next one, it will do a fresh install of your system, because there won't be any delta patch available so it'll download the entire system image. On Thu, Aug 20, 201

You can either reboot to set it to read only or just write "mount -o remount,ro /". I don't think you're going to brick your device by doing this, at most you'll have to reinstall your system. On Thu, Aug 20, 2015 at 1:25 PM Eric Holmi wrote: > Thanks. Also, how do you send it back to read only
