Wish list : which apps do you need?

mateo_salta

check out Memo for the to do list.

for dark mode, I have some commmands that can be run, if we can get a sudo access type of app, I started trying to make this:

but having problems getting qprocess to use sudo, and not really the best way to do this, but if someone wants to help:

        Button {
            id: button2
            objectName: "button"
            color: UbuntuColors.green
            anchors {
                horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
                top: button.bottom
                topMargin: units.gu(2)
           }
            width: parent.width

            text: i18n.tr("disable amplified volume")

            onClicked: {
            var popup = PopupUtils.open(passwordPopup)
              popup.accepted.connect(function(password) {

qprocess.start("bash", [ "-c echo" + password + " | sudo -S mirbacklight 0"])

              }) `

also have a way to get the lowest possible screen brightness - both run in a safe way that resets when you lock/unlock the screen

Apps that I need:

WhatsApp(I can't get people to use Telegram )
Discord
Something for my Galaxy Watch
Firefox (It is my favourite browser)
Mail app that feels less fishy?

fishy

What do you mean by this word ?

Quget

@domubpkm It's hard to trust. Like Dekko 2 requires me to use my account information inside the app and it still doesn't work after hours of trying. So I had to give up on that.

But maybe that's just me not knowing how mail clients work. I mostly use the browser or the gmail app by google before.

@quget It is normally because the account settings security/port wise do not come accross correctly. You need to find a working version of the account settings and check both the incoming and outgoing are correct. Also for Google you need to activate Trust unsecure apps or whatever it's now called in your Google account security settings.
Dekko works well when set up (at least for me) not perfect but works. The other option is to use Webber from the OpenStore and create your own web app. Quite straight forward to use too.

It's a basis for any mail client to work... If you don't know Thunderbird from Mozilla, it's been used for decade by millions people on PC, try it on yours. After that, you'll be able to configure Dekko like a charm.

@quget have to use 'app passwords'

Thanks, Webber has been of a great help!

Ohh I did hear about Thunderbird a long long time ago, but never used it. Might look it up and give it a try.

Thanks for the responses

I will take the fishy part back then.

@quget What is your smartphone?
I personally don't use gmail because it's completely at odds with the spirit of privacy.
But as mentioned, you should be able to set up gmail in dekko.
And at least dekko will be very useful to be notified of mails and read them on it. And maybe answer them but, in my case, dekko is not comfortable to answer mails.
The gmail webapp made with webber might be (or not) more convenient for you to answer mails and the session might stay open, which is convenient.

@domubpkm I use the Volla phone, I don't mind not getting notified of my e-mails I check them daily anyway

One day I will replace the gmail. Might be a Duck mail in the future!

I too have been using the Volla exclusively as a daily phone for over 4 months and Dekko runs well on it for me.

Just like to see some apps fixed like wire secure messenger its all messed up on nexus 6p

domubpkm

InstantPho (photo editor) is working again Thanks to the developers involved for making this totally indispensable app operational again.

Keneda

@domubpkm
I was about to say it .
I think that's @lduboeuf that fixed it.

Now it only lack "effects" working on my device.

You say you can't change the effects on your smartphone?
I can confirm that all functions are operational on the latest Volla RC.

Edit : I have indeed seen your issue on gitlab but it is not a new problem related to this update as I thought first.

Hi guys, I wanted to give my opinion too, some apps to note here:

I would like the image app to flip an image, making it seam like a mirror effect,
I would like the browser to have the option to automatically delete cookies when you leave the web page,
an app that compresses files and folders in .zip to send them later by mail or telegram.
an app that could encrypt a folder with a lock key , for example located inside documents.
an app that uses PKpass files to enter events, concerts, cinemas, theaters and even travel tickets.
an app for video chatting, for example Linphone, Element, Wire,
an app that sends your voice to a bluetooth speaker for using it in different activities such as karaoke.

the topic seem to fit better with one suggestion per post, for votting.

cregox

kiss launcher

with an achoz plugin, for better search.

the idea is basically having a unity/spotlight/latedeadgoogledesktopsearch

and:

easy access to notifications with one hand on the bottom
search bar on the bottom
also a linl to search the web, store, and few other apps

@quget why don't you bridge whatsapp with Matrix and use it in Fluffychat? That's what I do. But I have a bot inviting people to move.
