wow, that is good to hear !!!
I've been running Ubuntu as my daily driver since February but have
sometimes switched back to Android for games and making Skype calls.
But since I haven't used Android for a while now, I decided it was
time to drop it and get easy access to command line utilities such as
ubuntu-device-flash for recovering from rw mode.

what do you mean by "irregular" ... there haven't been any vivid
promotions yet :)
You're right of course. I should have said that I was referring to
the devel channel. As you mentioned those builds are very old and I
keep seeing people on XDA reporting "bugs" which have been fixed in
the meantime.
with some luck we will have one this week though to finally get
something recent into the devel channel ...
but after all do not expect vivid promotions to happen as regular as
RTM, vivid or devel are pretty much that ... developer releases. RTM
means "release to manufacturer", this is what manufacturers get to
put
on the preinstalled phones and what your mom and mine will use ...
due
to that fact this is also what gets most QA attention, while devel
promotions will always suffer from "when QA has time to take a look"
Thanks for this. This is exactly what I wanted to know. So I'll go
with the RTM builds again. ;)
it would probably be nice to organize some regular community
testing. I
am sure QA would happily share test plans with the world so willing
community members could jump in and help getting more frequent vivid
(or
devel) promotions.
This would definitely be great. I'd really appreciate the work of the
testers.

I doubt that's doable once you have 1000 different phones out there
...
for the moment we will likely do this, but in the future i would
expect
that you see us going the same route google goes with the nexus line,
there will be a few reference devices that are also heavily used
inside
canonical, in the labs and by developers and these devices will be
fully
supported for using the devel distro ... others will surely be easy
to
implement but will need some "adopt a port" action by the community
...
I know I talked about the devel channel last time and I completely
understand why it won't be possible to get that running out of the
box on any Ubuntu phone. However, I also had something else in mind.
The main reason why I was asking was that I heavily rely on being
able to reflash my device to get out of rw mode. Will we at least be
able to flash the RTM channel using ubuntu-device-flash?
I once heard some Canonical employees say that you are going to
provide all Ubuntu phones with updates as long as you develop the OS.
How is this going to work then?
Thank you very much again. I'm looking forward to your answer. :)
Cheers,
Niklas
