  @ziggutas said in Release channel update: It comes with a warning if after installing you decide to uninstall: restore the default launcher in System Settings first before uninstall app. There is no such option in System Settings, so I presume this means in the Launcher Modular settings page. Also, it is not possible to perform this hack any longer to replace the dash, on rc/devel channels, as the dash is gone.

  @Nulla Welcome on board! Accessibility-wise we still have a very long way to go, I am afraid. But I understand there are some community efforts in that area.

  @Flohack No problem. I asked the question on principle : i anticipated the answer. It's the same everywhere: it's called paperwork and/or administrative 'hassle'...

  @domubpkm Ah I see. I guess that's the case. I've only tested on the youtbe app I think. I wonder how it will take effect on those that simply uses WebEngineView from Morph.Web.

  @Opolork I don't mean to insist, but @arubislander is right you like others have potential. Coding is mostly reading and typing English with some fancy symbols around @wayneoutthere is learning python (the hard way) and we can help in the process if you are willing. I don't know what challenges await in this endeavor, but it doesn't seem too complex. And last word, if you hesitate maybe a simple webapp may give you a preview of what coding for UT is.

  @a_name_cool-32 Some desktop apps will run in a Libertine container... However, the user experience might not be great, since they will almost certainly be designed for large screens and for use with a mouse. You can set up a Libertine container easily enough on your device by going into Settings>Libertine.

  You cannot use any Android tools on the pinephone as it has no Android parts inside. Those binaries you see are for the other Android phones we support. Basically someone needs to write a new backend service that starts up the GPS modem and parses NMEA messages. That should then be fed into our locationd service, and from there it will be available to all Apps. So yes, until someone writes this background service, you will probably not see much. You can of course try to work on some scripting that you could run with the terminal, but thats not really practical. Also, this issue will affect all distro that have now a Pinephone variant, so you are better off discussing this in specific Pinephone groups rather than here.

  Unfortunately, this device doesn't work with the car kit either. So it's probably using the same Linux drivers. LOL

  The screen zoom usable on all phones (by spreading two fingers for example) also seems to me a good request to make on github if it doesn't exist.

  The previous Q&A isn't available on the website at the moment, as a reminder for the mega-cool person who is writing down what has been said.
