The UBports community has released this past weekend the second OTA (Over-the-Air) update to supported Ubuntu Phone devices, bringing support for some old devices that were requested by the community, as well as a set of new features.

First and foremost, UBports' Ubuntu Touch OTA-2 update introduces support for the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 2013 (Wi-Fi only) devices. Therefore, you can now install the custom Ubuntu Touch port created by the UBports team on these devices, which Canonical previously supported for the original Ubuntu Touch mobile OS.

As for the new features, Ubuntu Touch OTA-2 brings a new toggle in the battery indicator that turns on or off a flashlight, adds support for generic CalDAV servers to the Calendar app, updates the boot spinner, implements the ability to switch the release channels via System Settings, as well as to add custom backgrounds to Scopes.
