Ubuntu Touch OTA-17 is the next major software update for Ubuntu Phone devices, promising support for NFC hardware on various devices, including the Google Pixel 3a and Volla Phone. Besides the obvious benefits, NFC support will also enable developers to add the ability to read or write NFC tags in their apps.
“People have already been thinking up ideas for how to use NFC features to read from passive medical monitors… This is a feature that seems to make people very excited,” said UBports.
While UBports devs continue their transition for Ubuntu Touch to the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) base, they added various enhancements to the Ubuntu Touch OTA-17 release. Among these, they improved battery life and notifications for the Google Pixel 3a phone, added a Macedonian keyboard layout, and improved automatic screen brightness on the Volla Phone.
In addition, the upcoming Ubuntu Touch software update promises improved camera flash, zoom, rotation, and focus support for many of the supported Ubuntu Phone devices, including the OnePlus One and Sony Xperia X.
Other than that, Ubuntu Touch OTA-17 will correctly load word prediction on Swiss-French and English (Dvorak) keyboard layouts, and makes the switching of the keyboard editing overlay between selection and movement mode more reliable when using a double-tap.
The software update is set to arrive next week on Wednesday, May 12th, but, until then, UBports Foundation needs your support to download, install and test the OTA-17 release candidate on your devices. More details on that are available on the call for testing announcement.
How to install
When released, existing Ubuntu Touch users on the 'stable' channel (which is selected by default in the UBports Installer) will receive the OTA-17 update via the System Settings Updates screen.
The devices will receive the update at random. This spread is to give us time to stop a bad update in the future (if necessary), not to accommodate any bandwidth restrictions.
If you want to receive the update immediately, activate ADB access and issue the following command on 'adb shell':
sudo system-image-cli -v -p 0 --progress dots
Your device will download the update and install it. This process may take a while, depending on the download speed.
New users of Ubuntu Touch will find instructions for installing Ubuntu Touch on their device at devices.ubuntu-touch.io .
New users can use the UBPorts Ubuntu Touch installer with compatible devices. Please note that while PinePhone and PineTab are officially supported, they are updated independently from other devices and will not receive a single update called OTA-16. But they must get stable channel updates, including many of the same features at some point.
Other changes to come in the Ubuntu Touch OTA-17 include:
Mir display server updates from version 1.2.0 to 1.8.1
Increased battery life and responsiveness to notifications for Pixel 3a
Automatic screen brightness works on the Volla Phone
Camera flash, zoom, rotation and focus fixed on OnePlus One, Sony Xperia X and other devices
Macedonian keyboard layout
Bug fix that allows word prediction to work in Swiss-French and English (Dvorak keyboards)
