    I recently rebooted up my UB touch phone (Oneplus 3) However there's no updates for it. And I can't see any new installs on the site. It feels like the store is even more sparse than I remember when I was using it as a daily driver. I'm taking it I'm on an unsupported version of UB touch? Under About it says the OS is Ubuntu 16.04 (OTA-25) So a bunch of questions really Is there an updated UB touch for Oneplus 3 or do I need to buy a new phone like the OnePlus Nord N100? What is the best pdf reader on UB touch? I've been using Sturm reader which is quite nice but nowhere near as functional as the android app which provides highlighting, books marks, ability to export bookmarks.. Which is the best phone for the best experience of UB touch?

    @UBportsNews @applee Thanks for doing the show all alone! My answer to your question is, that the soundeffects like applause, fanfares etc are funny, but the music is distroying my concentration. Maybe at least a little more loud would be a solution...

    @DJac On older version of UT I had this problem of the keyboard crashing, when imputing certain words, and when certain words were computed as suggestion, especially words with special characters. But it's been a long time that it is solved for me. May it be that?

    @muskist probably the app is missing this PR maybe create an issue to point to the maintainer that it is an active problem ?

    @lduboeuf said in Call for testing: calendar-app: @projectmoon said in Call for testing: calendar-app: @lduboeuf So unfortunately, calendar sync is still broken. The calendar that was syncing (connection to Nextcloud via generic caldav instead of built-in Nextcloud integration) is no longer syncing. Only thing I see in Evolution logs is something about i_cal_time_compare < 0 failed. I turned the Nextcloud integration itself back on for Calendar, and that synced fine... But I don't know if it will sync more later. Sorry, i don't understand, you mean it works or not ? Please also precise on which OS version are you . The sync can be sometimes unstable ( and it always has been). It is sometimes needed to recreate all accounts ( remove them all, reboot, recreate them) Stable 1.2, and the accounts were previously already cleared and removed from Evolution. Re-re-(re?)-creating the accounts shouldn't be necessary, I would hope. What I mean is that the Generic CalDAV Account seemed to stop syncing. But when I re-enabled the Nextcloud Account, that synced fine. I have two Online Accounts set up on the phone. Both point to my Nextcloud instance. Just one is the "proper" Nextcloud Online Account and the other is Generic CalDAV.

    @mirroronthewall Yes, this is surprisingly useful, as it means you don't always have to whip out a hardware keyboard, which defeats the point of the small form factor of a phone. Missing support for modifier keys is a big issue when using GUI apps in Libertine, as touch-to-mouse conversion often doesn't behave as it should and can get you 'stuck', so a fallback to keyboard shortcuts is just as necessary there as it may be useful in general: actually, your idea of creating macros for anything seems to solve many problems (including mine) at once, so congrats - now we just need to figure out how! The closest I've found is Ambot Installer: Hacks and Mods, although I need to set up a persistent amd64 QEMU instance on my arm64 laptop before I can allow myself to experiment with it freely (it's the only way I got the installer working). Other tools may be available but I have not been able to surface them yet, I will update this thread as I learn more about the issue and potential solutions. [UPDATE] Here is a list of interesting posts related to this problem, which may be a good starting point for building a bridge towards the solution: These are previous conversations on the repos which appear to have been abbandoned: https://github.com/ubports/keyboard-component/issues/96 gitlab.com/ubports/apps/terminal-app/-/issues/78 https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-keyboard/-/issues/96 Instead, here are some useful links related to Malakiboard, which should be a good foundation to build macro functionality on: https://github.com/kugiigi/jerk-click https://github.com/kugiigi/jerk-installer https://github.com/kugiigi/jerk-packages

    When planning an iOS application development project, performance, security, and user experience should be top priorities. Apple’s controlled ecosystem helps ensure consistent performance across iPhones and iPads. Following Human Interface Guidelines improves usability, while built-in security layers make iOS applications suitable for handling sensitive information. Modern iOS application development also includes cloud sync, AI capabilities, and scalable architecture to support future growth. This guide explains the iOS application development process clearly: https://www.eitbiz.com/mobile-application/ios-development

    @kaktux Hi, A lot of effort has been made to upstream Lomiri to Debian. So I think it may be the way to go for you. The following command is to use on Debian Sid/Trixie: apt install lomiri lomiri-desktop-session lightdm Source: https://ubports.com/lomiri

    I've seen that some apps do their translations in this Weblate site: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/ubports/#components Can I add an app that I manage in the Openstore to this site? And if so, how?

    @mango Divide into groups based on needs is a good idea. Assign a rank # to all you mentioned. My version of list starts with: Group 1: need voice calls - with VoLTE (required in some countries now, and many more in future). USABLE on 4 or 5 phones as of today ? Have not tried it enough to say 'mainstream ready' or not. Group 1a: Voice calls over Wifi (Rural areas, etc). Hope you don't need it. NOT supported by UT. Group 1b: VOIP to PSTN. Please tell me how to set this up (see 1a, above) other groups ? Your list... BTW: Libre office snap installs directly - no need for Libertine. Use wireless external display direct to TV (IF TV supports Miracast. Many LG TV's do). Limit 1080P, even on a 4K TV, due to Wifi speeds, or something. Wired external display would be nicer, but it seems NOT many older phones that UT currently runs on support it. (if Oneplus 8 gets UT port, I think it supports wired ext display). Wired keyboard & mouse through USB-C expansion adapter with PD charging (Acasis $10) operational.

    I normally listen to Surf music on Spotify on my Android phone. But back a a long time ago, I had a pile of MP3s on my Ubuntu desktop and on an MP3 player to listen to while doing yard work. So I figured I'd try that experience again. Surf Guitar 101 does an annual CD compilation, where forum members can record and submit their own covers of surf instrumentals or do an original song. It's been going on since 2006. I downloaded 20 years worth of surf instrumental music to my Ubuntu desktop. Grabbed a USB A to USB C cable and figured I'd copy the files over. No joy. Started thinking about problem solving, then just decided to use a different cable. And MTP just worked out of the box. I put over 500 MP3s on my phone in a matter of minutes. Fired up the Music player app. And it worked right out of the box. I'll want to try connecting my bluetooth headphones for when I'm outside working, but this made for a very nice kitchen MP3 player while I was finishing up my bread. I broke my ability to send and receive MMS messages, but hey - music is working!
