How I am running ubports as a daily driver

[bcnaz]

1. Write ubports image to emmc
2. Extend root filesystem to 16GB as per https://askubuntu.com/a/958145

Code:

sudo parted /dev/mmcblk2
  resizepart 1
  yes
  -0
  quit
sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk2p1

3. Set wallpaper to the one with dogs to fix UI lag
4. Configure system settings in UI
5. Configure timezone via `sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata`
6. Install ut tweak tool in the open store

7. Wifi work-around.

Code:

nano /home/phablet/fix-wifi.sh:
sudo nmcli radio all off
sudo rmmod 8723cs
sudo modprobe 8723cs
sudo nmcli radio all on

EDIT: No longer needed in the latest images:

Enable sound on boot:

Code:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local:
modprobe snd_soc_simple_amplifier
modprobe snd_soc_simple_card_utils
amixer -c 0 set 'AIF1 Slot 0 Digital DAC' unmute
amixer -c 0 set 'Line Out' unmute
amixer sset 'Line Out' 100%

Start modem script.

Code:

nano /home/phablet/start-modem.sh:
sudo /usr/share/ofono/scripts/enable-modem
sudo /usr/share/ofono/scripts/online-modem

Stop modem script.

Code:

nano /home/phablet/stop-modem.sh:
sudo /usr/share/ofono/scripts/offline-modem
sudo /usr/share/ofono/scripts/disable-modem

 
  Early on when I started trying UBPorts on my new BraveHeart I had the best results, (Early March I believe)

Using just the GUI,     I was able to text, 
   using wifi,  I could surf the web, YouTube was playing very well at that time. (Sound was only a touch low on max.)

I was able to call out and I had 2 way voice,    but 
never any success with receiving calls, at the best,  the screen would do a quick flash when I attempted to call-in. (then 'call failed')

 Now audio is there, but too low to make out anything on YouTube. (audio set to max)

Out-going calls only randomly ring the called phone, usually just get 'call failed'

Incoming calls still completely non-functioning.

I DO see fresh releases every day,  
                                     but it almost seems like the development is going backwards ?
