    @kugiigi said in Tip: call a contact with one hand (secret UT key !): This is definitely a bug If you say so, however if I can insist, the phone would actually be more usable and intuitive if the icon for adding a contact could be copied, removing the '+' and left displayed by default. Going in the contacts app using the top right button feels cumbersome to me in comparison, needs attention to press the right button, easy when confortably sit at a desk, less so when walking in a street, half of the time I press the wrong button, or I need to stop walking and look carefully at the phone screen. Unrelated: when displaying the recent calls list and selecting one (that's also an operation difficult to do with one hand BTW), the add to contact is then made visible and I don't see the logic why because if clicking it, the selected number is not proposed for a new contact. My first intuition is that the add to contact (the character symbol with a '+') should be displayed only after pressed the '+' button. Minor gripe but this is a very important app for an object that is still often called a phone instead of a pocket computer. @kugiigi said in Tip: call a contact with one hand (secret UT key !): if you're old enough, you can actually search for a contact using T9 typing I never even noticed the letters below the numbers. Maybe it's because I have actually used an old school phone, with these things, it's enabled only in text fields, when composing a number to call, it does not work, typing a '3' produces a '3' and that's exactly what it is doing in the phone app - so if it's possible to use the phone keypad to search a contact, it's not obvious enough for me to use it even knowing now it's supposed to be possible ! To be complete, I have noticed that sometimes a contact list is displayed below the keypad but I have never found the magic wand that I used to display it without intending. If it was a desktop app at this point I'd press F1 to get online help...

    @wally Yes, I was adjusting the edges in UI tweaks. However as I stated in other thread I never liked swype OS navigation. Expanding the subject, I also don't like touch OS navigation. Touch screens register the touch "without my consent", i.e. when I just grab the phone. That's wrong, but it's been like that since the beginning of all mobile OSes. I'd love to see an option to enable touch-and-confirm input where you touch and have to swype a bit immediately to make the original touch point registered as touch, otherwise it's meaningless

    @Gelukkig said in Apps I really would love: @projectmoon Thanks, I have installed all the apps you mention. For Waydroid I still need a Google account and the purpose is to get rid of Google and Apple accounts The default image of Waydroid does not have Play Services or anything else. As others have said, you can download F-Droid then use that to install Aurora Store, and from there, install apps that are on the Play Store. But as for bluetooth, this will not work in Waydroid. It is a limitation of Waydroid itself.

    @bekun Yeah that's the ideal functionality. On Android, that works fine, at least on Samsung phones. In UT, all touchscreens are mapped to the built-in display. I was talking about on the desktops. Gnome have the same issue while KDE Plasma handles it fine.

    @jeffreyk Hi, it doesn't work like that. If your device is not on the supported list and a search doesn't show any one porting the device then if you have the skills and knowledge you will have to port UT to that device yourself. The alternative is to get a device that is on the supported list.

    @edisss No one knows! There is no list, it depends on whether someone owns the device and the skills, and steps forward to do the work.

    @Pierlink_Cloud This forum is for discussions and help on Ubuntu Touch proper, so your post is bordering on being off topic. I have moved it to the off-topic category for now. Let's see if anyone can help you transition from LXDE (or is it LXQt now) to Lomiri on what was originally a Lubuntu installation to your laptop. I will say though, that the recommended way of installing Lomiri on Ubuntu is to start out with Ubuntu Server 24.04 and install Lomiri from the PPA.
