Hi Michel,

I am glad that you are using the Ubuntu Touch Emulator. It is definitely
better in terms of performance and reliability compared to what it was
before. I can answer few of your questions that you had,

This is actually an issue on the phone as well. For instance if you flash
your phone using the command the startup wizard is still shown asking you
to set a password. But that password is somehow not saved and default back
to the password you set using the command. That same issue is affecting the
emulator I believe. If this is the issue you face, perhaps we should file a
bug report.

$ ubuntu-device-flash --channel=ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/devel-proposed
--developer-mode --password=0000

I use emulators extensively for the core apps development. My advice would
be to create emulator of devel (promoted) images since they are guaranteed
to work on the emulator as well. If you use devel-proposed, be prepared to
dive into mailing-list and irc channels if something doesn't work as
expected. By staying with promoted images, you would also not need to
update the emualtor that frequently.
