@moem sure that can be done......by someone from the community most contributors have their hands full hehe. as said the source for the docs is on github; anyone can contribute more to the docs from there it's made out of mostly markdown files iirc so it shouldn't be too diffy to get into

No need to at me, that is exactly what I had in mind. The next time someone comes up and says 'I want to help, what can I do?' this is one of the things we can point them towards. It's nice because there is no coding experience needed.

[Fuseteam]

yeah definitely coding is once facet of the work that has to be done hehe

@dobey in portugal, MMS costs 30 cents.

not being able to use MMS is a bonus for me.

and pulsesms can do groups without MMS.

[cregox]

i wished all phones would run linux instead of f******google android.

and global 2g + 3g would be free, accessible everywhere. i don't need 4g or any higher.

phone calls and MMS should obviously be free as well, world wide. charge premium for voice quality, video, etc.

more to the topic, i wished that smartphones could be turned into "feature" phones, with:

• last longing battery
• an emergency physical button to call pre defined contacts, including cell tower emergency
• 12cm (4 inches) screen at most
• light and small enough that it wouldn't break when falling

i would keep a 23cm screen one as a backup phone + powerbank ultrabook with screen projection on the other pocket, with the exact same os, everything synced... but only because i work with tech.

everyone would have 2 phones.

@cregox Please do not use swear words in your posts. We try and keep this a family friendly place for people of all ages and nationalities. I have taken the liberty to edit your post slightly. Thanks for your understanding.

Edit: Forgot to add this. We follow the Ubuntu code of conduct https://ubuntu.com/community/code-of-conduct

[cregox]

@lakotaubp feel free.

at the cost of our freedom...

to me, a much better way to handle this is making lists of words per user. everyone can choose their own filters, and how to handle their sensitivity.

and thanks for the friendly warning!

[cregox]

@cregox in fact, perhaps it would be a great extension for ubports... filter words everywhere!

i would certainly use it.

replace google for g*****.

I'd like to see a different windowing system activated when docked so legacy applications will work natively in desktop mode.

I'd like to have a full ports (on the app store) of these apps and utilities
Nautilus or nemo
Libreoffice
Openoffice
Retroarch
Gens
Pico-8
Usbutlils
Steam
Wine
Flash
Java
Anbox
Compiz fusion or something similar
Launch bar editor (to change size and location of the bar icons and text.) //this isnt android we want more customuzation capabilities.//

I'd like someone to build a gui gps calibration wizard with manual location input.

I'd like an app that delivers me a cold beer/coffee per button click with beer/coffee level indicator (this should be a built in feature)

Long press for left click.

Toggle switch for long press in browser to turn off edit fuctions (copy, paste, etc) this makes an issue of a menu displaying when using browser based games that require long presses.

A nice feature I think, would be automatic toggling between silent mode and sound at specified times. Typically, it would be great if the phone went into silent mode when I start putting the kids to bed in the evening, and stayed silent until I got up in the morning, without having to remember to flip that switch every day!

[thousandtopics]

@magnargj Turn off kids app, please

@trwidick Wish: Enhanced start menue
I'd like to be able to create directories to sort my apps.
Also I wonder if widgets were possible, e. g. the clock app to show current time at the desktop and the weather app its information, too.

@bigmouth
For now you can use "Home" app from @pavelprosto in the open store.

I think the UT developers are doing such a great job, that I almost feel ashamed by listing anything.

[domubpkm]

@starrtiktokk There are enough wishes for the next 5 years I think

[AppLee]

@domubpkm said in Wishes, Dreams, and Unicorns:

Yes with a team of 100.
There are wishes for a long long time.

The primary focus is to maintain the OS.
Another focus point should be recruting (in all the possible ways) more developers to create new features.
More developers is paramount to add new features.

[domubpkm]

@applee yes, initially I wanted to put 'for the next 20 years' but I thought it would be misunderstood..

[Emphrath]

What would be nice is a feature similar to what we find on Ubuntu desktop: whenever the system crashes, or an app, or something goes wrong behind the gui, a window pops up to ask if we'd like to file a bug report. It then sends a message containing relevant logs, that we can review beforehand. I'm posting this here because I'm aware it's quite far beyond the kind of support ubports team is able to achieve but I can't help but think it would be extremely useful for devs, especially in the early phase of an OS. Centralizing error logs of targeted devices would somewhat save the time spent on the forum asking "how does my app fare on your device on such branch" or "can you report camera behavior after this update".
