@Keneda Peut tu me joindre par Telegram ? sur le groupe FR ? ce sera plus facile pour savoir ce qui ne va pas chez toi et résoudre le soucis.

Can you reach me via Telegram? on the FR group? it will be easier to find out what's wrong with you and resolve the concerns.

Keneda

@syper j'vais causer anglais pour que ça soit "universel" lol

Ok so i've tested more and found that the problem came from system settings, i changed background and then transparancy worked fine.

However i could talk you about other things.

I never used telegram, what group exactly i must join, how to find you there?

I've just updated to OTA-12 and there is the default dash launcher again. I tried to reactive Launcher modular and it didn't help. I tried to reinstall Launcher modular and it didn't help. The default dash launcher is awful. How can I active Launcher modular on OTA-12? Because Launcher modular I like it very much.

@petrmasek
You can't replace "default dash launcher" with LM now, just launch LM and use it like any app.

Keneda

@syper
Are you still working on LM?

syper

@Keneda Yes but it's hard to get a replacement for the default dash.

Not a breaking problem for now, just make your launcher app greater and bug free (i.e. i still have crash when trying add image page)
Talking about that i noticed you just apdated it, v0.1.8, but last changelog on open store is for v0.1.7, could you update?

Edit : Wow just seen that you made possible add custom icon for "url website", "terminal command", and "launch app"!
If you can add a file/folder option to that (for exemple i'd like to make a quick file acces for my work planning ods file) it would be great.

Edit 2 : Saw that you made it possible to change scaling of icons, awesome!
That would be great that for the apps you make it possible to deactivate them on home page, and add an app page, for those who want separate widgets and apps.

Anyway take needed time to keep up that wonderfull work!

The publication comes directly from Brian Douglas so indeed the changelog does not arrive at the same time sorry.

For quick access to files it is an excellent idea !!!

For the image page indeed there is a bug which only concerns certain devices (I don't understand why ...)

For the deactivation of the icons it is in progress;)

Is there any log that could help you?

syper

Maybe you can always send it to me, I'll watch.

OTA 12 ?

TotalSonic

Thank you for your continued work on Launcher Modular!

OTA 12 ?

Yes OTA 12 stable, on MX4.

UniSuperBox

Hi,

I installed launcher-modular on my phone. After setting it as the "default app" and replacing the standard dash, reverting these settings does nothing. I tried the default remove buttons as well as the link below the buttons.

After uninstalling the app and restarting, I am no longer able to use the device. I am also unable to reinstall launcher-modular because the OpenStore is not on my Launcher hotbar and the Drawer cannot be opened.

The following changes from default have been made in /usr/share/unity8/:

$ diff -r unity8-notbroken/ unity8-broken/
diff -r unity8-notbroken/Launcher/Launcher.qml unity8-broken/Launcher/Launcher.qml
53a54,56
> property bool launchermodular: true
> readonly property string homeApp: "launchermodular.ubuntouchfr_launchermodular"
> 
186a190,195
> shell.startApp(root.homeApp);
> if(LauncherModel.search(root.homeApp) >= 0)
> 	return;
> else
> 	root.launchermodular = false;

<         width: Math.min(root.width, units.gu(81))
---
>         width: Math.min(root.width, units.gu(8))

I had to reinstall Ubuntu Touch on my device to be able to use it again.

syper

@UniSuperBox please look this issue https://framagit.org/ubuntouch-fr-dev/launcher-modular/-/issues/73

I fix this in next release sorry.

wgarcia

@UniSuperBox I also was in the same situation, and could restore the standard dash by switching between channels, so I did not need a full reinstallation.

arubislander

@wgarcia Exept for flashing the bootloader, switching channels is very much like a 'full' install without wipe from the installer.

Have been using Launcher Modular for a few days now and it's great! Thank you for all the time and effort put into this launcher.

As a newcomer to UT I'd like to be able to get a direct read out on the battery level (top bar is too small). uPower app is installed in my Launcher. Instead of having the Weather forecast tool (can't change the weather after all) I'd rather have the battery percentage/time left for my OPO 3T displayed (opposed to the weather I can change the battery level if needed ).

Is there a simple way to accommodate?

Thank you

When i get it crashing while enabling image page, the LM log vanish... (using the log viewer from open store)

As a workeround, you can add battery percentage in top bar with UT Tweak Tool.
