Bug Description
The x86 emulator is supposed to be a valuable tool for testing, app development and more. But cellular telephony functionality is not available by default.
Test steps:
- Create an Ubuntu Touch x86 emulator (using 'ubuntu-emulator create --arch=i386')
- Try any cellular telephony functionality, such as
- send an SMS from UI
- receive an SMS via 'adb emu sms send 12345 Hello'
- change network strength via 'adb emu gsm signal 31'
- It's all unavailable because oFono is not running and not online.
In the real device, oFono is started by upstart, and then set to 'online' state by urfkill.
In the emulator, ofono must be started manually ('start ofono'), urfkill cannot be started at all, but oFono can be set online via '/usr/share/

The oFono part seems to be caused by bad startup dependencies. On my machine, the oFono daemon startup happens just a few seconds before the RIL daemon startup, while oFono expects RIL to be up'n'running first.
grep ofono /var/log/syslog:

I can fix that by delaying oFono's respawns (append 'post-stop exec sleep 1' to /etc/init/
