Ubuntu Touch OTA4 by Ubports - 16.04 LTS Stable Version Walkthrough



Ubuntu Touch OTA4 by Ubports - 16.04 LTS Stable Version Walkthrough


Ubports has pushed the much awaited update for Ubuntu Phones OTA4 which is based on Xenial 16.04 LTS as base. Below are the list of changes available in the release,

For users

Users of Ubuntu Touch will notice a number of enhancements:
  • New keyboard layouts for Turkish, Bulgarian, and Swiss-French
  • Performance improvements gained by switching from Qt 5.4 to 5.9
  • An experimental Libertine Container Manager has been added to Settings. Its accompanying scope is also preinstalled.
  • New power saving features
  • A new upgrade wizard which will help you set up your device for 16.04
  • Many security fixes thanks to moving to a supported release of Ubuntu
  • Added consistent release numbering for all devices on the devel or rc channels (Settings -> About -> OS -> OS Build Number)

For app developers

  • All apps which include compiled components (embedded libraries, C++ plugins) must be recompiled for Ubuntu Touch OTA-4 and above. See Updating apps to 16.04 to learn more about this process.
  • Added QtWebEngine to the image. App developers should consider transitioning from Ubuntu.Web.* to the equivalent QML types in QtWebEngine. A wrapper will be provided for users of Ubuntu.Web, but using the QtWebEngine API natively is our new recommendation.
  • Added PyOtherSide (Python QML bindings) to the image
  • Added QtQuickControls 2 to the image

I am running AOSP/CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 based custom rom on my Galaxy Note GT-N7000. Note is rooted with ClockWorkMod Recovery installed. I wanted to have look and feel of TouchWiz UI on the rom.
