mobile operating system from Canonical, Ubuntu OS Touch has unofficially come to Google Nexus 5. Yesterday we told you today and MovilZona team has had a chance to try to detail to analyze its progress. Although it still has some bugs, which point out then Ubuntu OS Touch shows attributes that could make it a future rival to consider for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone.
MovilZona equipment has been proven in the Nexus 5, the mobile operating system from Canonical, Ubuntu OS Touch. An alternative focused on the elimination of all kinds of buttons, oriented to the use of our smartphones and tablets using the “page scroll.” As we advanced, there is still much work to what OS is Ubuntu Touch hundred percent functional on the Nexus 5, but before this we first appearance since issuing certain “judgments” in the face of what will . Then ye may see also a video showing its operation and appearance of the interface is shown, also pointing out those aspects that are not yet working properly.
preview Installing Ubuntu OS on the Nexus Touch 5
To run Ubuntu OS on the Nexus Touch May need to have root permissions and recovery very specific menu. Since officially mobile operating system is not compatible with the Nexus 5, we will have to download and flash a specific version of TWRP. In addition, we will have also installed MultiROM v22 version, so you can then boot the device in Android or Ubuntu, depending on what you prefer.
Boot Ubuntunot recommend installing Ubuntu as the only OS Touch OS. We are in a very early version that does not allow to be used in day to day, since we do not have some basic features that we’ve outlined. Therefore it is better to use MULTIROM.
Touch OS ROM as secondary
Although we are talking about a mobile operating system, Ubuntu installs Touch OS our Nexus 5 as a custom ROM if it were. The first start, as you can see in the video that accompanies the release is faster than expected, delaying it more or less than the time needed to boot Android. Once you’re in Ubuntu Touch OS check that the system works smoothly but with some small faults affecting interface . Sometimes horizontal bands show that the “port” has yet to mature is.
Sound still does not work
Perhaps the most important failure of this port is the lack of sound. They have not managed to make it work the sound of Nexus 5 Touch with Ubuntu OS, which prevents us from carrying out calls, listen to music or play movies, for example. Moreover, although the settings we find the possibility of raising and lowering the volume-as with side-buttons, this does not work for absolutely nothing, yet.
Pending applications for Ubuntu OS Touch
If not for Ubuntu Touch OS still lacks applications like WhatsApp, maybe more than one launch now try the mobile operating system from Canonical. And this is the big problem that we encountered. Although the sound would work on Nexus 5, we could not use Ubuntu OS Touch daily because it can not yet offer all you need .
General impressionAs we pointed out, there are still some features of the mobile operating system Ubuntu OS Touch malfunctioning. However, we already have enough to begin to see the intentions of Canonical. First we see that the touch buttons are limited to a greater extent compared to Android and iOS, making Ubuntu a less intuitive operating system something but able to take greater advantage of the dimensions of your screen, and all this not without physical buttons.
Moreover, the system interface shows a very striking appearance. The simplicity defines Ubuntu, while find less uniform Android despite Google’s intentions to establish a foundation for the creation of third-party applications interface.
