[11:05] <matv1> hi, will agps service still remain functional on ut after june? is there any timeframe set for that to end?
[11:29] <jnxd> Hello. can anyone help me with backing up my contacts locally? I plan to flash my bq to android. Thanks
[11:41] <davmor2> matv1: it will remain working as it is as far as I am aware.
[11:41] <davmor2> jnxd: why not just use google to sync it
[11:43] <jnxd> davmor2: Just to keep a local repo. Also, I have had some troubles with proxy and I'm not sure how well the sncing is happening
[11:44] <matv1> davmor2 thats good to hear. so does that mean even beyond 2017?
[11:45] <davmor2> matv1: no idea, but the package won't be removed it is on the device.  Might not be available to the updates from ubports though
[11:45] <davmor2> matv1: also depends on the backend service still being there which is here
[11:46] <davmor2> matv1: and them never changing their api
[11:53] <mcphail> jnxd: https://gurucubano.gitbooks.io/bq-aquaris-e-4-5-ubuntu-phone/content/en/chapter9.html
[12:10] <jnxd> mcphail: thanks. seems to have done the trick
[12:10] <jnxd> anyone else here who did something similar?
[12:11] <jnxd> I mean changed to android recently? did anyone use anything other than BQ's android rom?
[12:20] <mcphail> jnxd: i couldn't find an alternative for my e4.5
[12:20] <jnxd> mcphail: lineage only seems to exist for vegetalte
[12:21] <mcphail> yep. nothing for krillin
[12:22] <mcphail> the bq rom is old, but fairly stock. Install twrp, get root and enjoy. Works fairly well
[12:22] <jnxd_> mcphail: did you say anything? I got disconnected
[12:22] <mcphail> the bq rom is old, but fairly stock. Install twrp, get root and enjoy. Works fairly well
[12:24] <mcphail> with some of the apps2sd apps, the bq phones are powerful enough
[12:25] <mcphail> perhaps not so great from a security point of view
[12:54] <jnxdjnxd> Okay I was trusting the magic-device-tool to help me switch to android, but unfortunately it doesn't work. any instruction manual? for e5
