Considering I have a BQ E5 in my pocket to test this on,
this would be astonishing news.
But when I follow the links it dribbles off into androidland
and is a thousand tweaks down a road of unfathomable murk.
I wish those devs well but
judging from the locked garden philosophy inside the Ubuntu stockade
this kind of development will never see the light of day.
They _rabidly_ lock down almost anything
that allows the user to type or act upon content or application settings in the device.
I checked the 'HELP' application yesterday to see what was inside, and it was embarrassing.
The nature of the way it is all composed is
to merely describe how to manage the display and zero anything else.
By far, almost 95% of all the apps on Ubuntu Touch are simply
what I call webfarts which are just glorified webpages stripped down and focused on.
There are very few application of any sort like LibreOffice.
This is so _not_ happening,
which for a distro originally arising directly from linux
is a sad statement on the human condition.
