I have Deko 2 on all my UBPort devices and I get notifications coming through for all the emails. The problem I find is that I cannot open Deko 2 from the notifications or delete unwanted emails from the notifications. I also find that I receive notifications for all my days emails even if they have previously been deleted.
If you look on GitLab that is where the Deko 2 issues/new feature requests are being logged. You can look there to see if these have been raised before and if not you can raise them.
I have 3 questions:
I learned that the beefy arm64 server you need for development is sponsored by a company. Does this mean that your second patreon goal has no assignment? Wouldn't it be helpful to correct the second goal and maybe also to be more explicit about third one?
The old Ubuntu Touch services seem to die one by one. Some time ago it was weather app. Are you guys looking into this? I mean proactive measures could bhave been helpful or at least finding out in time what services risk dying next and maybe get in touch with the right persons in time would be a not so bad idea.
I like the convergence idea and I like to hear that actually some people seem to have positive experience with it. Is there any reason why you still need to drop to shell and install from server X in order to get hold of it? I am not saying that I cannot do that. I am saying I do not want to be forced to do that. Why the heck not put it in openstore?
@UKPhil I'm not that put off by Apple because it doesn't "pretend" to be our friend in the way Google does. You know when you buy an iPhone (and you DO buy an iPhone as we all know) that you're paying for the privilege of the best mobile OS there is - Android is particularly weak because it's so fragmented and now we have a bunch of alternative "Androids" too.
It's not that I trust Apple per se, but I trust someone who is rude to me up front rather than someone who cuddles me while he's picking my (digital) pocket. Google defines evil more to me than even Microsoft ever did... and I've been out of the business almost as long as I was a part of it. Google pretends to even be a friend of open source (Summer of Code for example) but it does nothing that doesn't directly benefit Google in the long term; and that includes letting employees develop their own products.
It's hard to list all the things that Google takes advantage of - I know of some via the FSF and others just by watching my network traffic.
It's no surprise that Ubuntu Touch never really got a foothold as it doesn't have a killer app. It's not just the app ecosystem - because let's be honest - 90%+ of those are either utterly banal or just copies of each other. Hard to imagine what the killer app could be - and that, in and of itself has to be a problem. Google (what them again!) is well known for pilfering other people's ideas: Android itself was pinched from Blackberry at first and later from Apple.
So, I'll be promoting Ubports proudly and laughing at those who thought I was crazy all those years ago.
Concerning 2, Textsecure is not available in the Openstore but you can install it from the Ubuntu Store.
There is no development going on currently on this app. A call for a new developer has been launched on this forum but unfortunately there has not been any response yet. I would love to see its continued development so I really hope someone will take it on.
I used the version available in the Ubuntu Store on my Nexus 4. It worked fine and I could message friends who have Signal installed on Android and iphones. However, it does not want to work on my Nexus 5. If you are using a Nexus 5, it would be interesting to know if it works for you.
This is not a feature of the vpn provider, more the vpn software on the individual device. I have PIA and on my android devices I have it set (in the PIA software itself) to only allow Internet traffic when going through the vpn. I have been looking into vpn''s a bit on touch and do not believe that this feature is available yet.
Maybe this could be one of the OTA3 feature requests. Either way I would raise it as a feature request in girhub. That way it is recorded and toy can see the progress.
wow, the crowdfunding goal of 1,500,000 USD was reached and now it goes higher and higher..
Right now it's already: $1,553,341 and still 13 days more for the campaign!
Thought that may be the case but thought I would check. Will be good when the address book comes.
To the person who marked me down, why on earth for just asking a question ? Is this the kind of forum we want to run here where people are afraid of asking questions in the fear of someone marking them down?
It's not unlikely that i have misunderstood scopes, but isn't the whole point to display as little information as possible but enough for the user to know it will be worth while to open specific application(s)? Just that + some simple things like time, date etc.
Let's cut the Ubuntu rope getting a complete different name. We are not a subdivision of Canonical!
How about Ubantu?
Thinking about something with pirates because it's bad ass just like I feel when using Ubuntu Touch.
Unfortunately Black Flag is already taken.
Pirate OS is too obvious, kinda childish. Good name for a raspberri pi operated mobile.
How about Keelhaul? Or Mutiny which is also a geeky reference to the TV Show "Halt and Catch Fire"? Think that was also considered for Yunit afaik.
Peg Leg MOS (MOS == mobile operating system), three "words" with 3 letters - sounds catchy.
