Wish list : which apps do you need?

@Moem
I'll second that. Car audio bluetooth not working are the 10% missing to make it a full daily driver, for everything else there are native solutions or work-arounds I am perfectly happy with. I hope that this will eventually happen with PinePhone where developers have control over the hardware. It is probably unlikely to happen for all supported UT-devices - as far as I understand (using UT on N5, FP2 and PinePhone).

@nogoogle It doesn’t work neither on my N5 (OTA 12 stable). Bluetooth pairing on car headset is fine but sound and microphone doesn’t work yet.

I am very much hoping for more development of Axolotl (Signal client).
It is my most used app.
Sending and receiving one photo per message goes fine, text too.
I cannot however send multiple photos in one message.
I cannot receive multiple photos in one message, it then only shows 1 photo of the batch multiple times.
I cannot save/export received photos/messages.
Some messages are not delivered to me, if it contains other content.
This may sound very negative, but it's not intended to be.
I understand development takes a lot of time, but Axolotl is an important app for me. Hopefully it will get more development soon.

@stanwood The problem is that it does not only depend on the type of phone but also the audio system involved (see this thread: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3308/bluetooth-pairing-with-car-audio-system/2?_=1598552544960).

Hi, thanks for asking. Nothing fancy I´m dreaming about.
I´d like to have:

a graphical file editor to open, edit, save and delete txt, log files.
Currently I could not find an app where I can open larger files (> 10 MB) and from a folder I "want". They are restricted to folder and/or crashes.
Most of the time I send the file I want to check/modify with dekko2 to my mailbox. Thank god (or at least hummlbach & stefwe) dekko2 is working!
Cleaner for logs, cookies, history of browser and other temporary files (OS and apps) and not needed language packages, something like "BleachBit".

@nogoogle Indeed. I have test it on 2 models: Seat Alhambra media system 2014 and Ford Fiesta sync 2017. Same unsuccessful result on both systems.

mnjrupp · 28 Aug 2020, 19:38

@Moem same issue on Nexus 5.

A contact app that sync with nextcloud.

I know this is an old thread, but an XMR wallet app would be pretty handy. I think we've only got a bitcoin wallet on the app store so far, as far as I know? I would definitely throw money at someone for one since that's something still keeping me tethered to my desktop.

dobey · 1 Sept 2020, 19:33

@Baguette_Child Not anywhere near usable yet, and I have no idea for sure when it will be, but I've just started developing a wallet app for Monero: https://gitlab.com/dobey/tongbao

I'm really excited to hear this, as a long term holder of XMR. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on your project!

@stanwood @Moem @nogoogle OTA-13 comes with a bluez update which improves the situation, see https://forums.ubports.com/topic/4840/bluetooth-findings-with-ota-13-rc/7

Once you get the new UT version (hopefully released that week-end), start by unpairing the car and the phone, then try again.

Fla · 2 Sept 2020, 21:49

@Alter there is an Axolotl-dev telegram group if you're interested about discussion about Axolotl development. @nanu-c spent his week-end on it and improved many things, see the last releases. There still is work to do though, so if you want to help test new releases, you're welcome.

nogoogle · 2 Sept 2020, 23:22

@Fla Thanks, saw this thread too. Will test on the weekend and report back.

Alter · 9 Apr 2020, 23:25

@Fla
A late reply from me, because I needed to think carefully about the answer. I have an almost fulltime job and other obligations that take up a lot of time. My feeling is saying 'yes, I'd love to help with Axolotl development!'. I'm not sure if I can. It would very much depend on what is being asked for. If it would take a small amount of time, and if I could chose my own times for the tests and the replies, maybe it could work. I have a Nexus 5 as daily driver. I'm not prepared to brick that. I do have a Pinephone CE.I could use that, but would be willing to buy an Android line device too, if that is better for you. I am a regular user, not a developer.
@nanu-c : Thank you for the updates. I appreciate the progress made!!

On Ubuntu Touch on Pinephone

authenticator that works with Google

@nexus5 You seem to miss those apps. I don't think you gonna like it here :))

ma · 7 Sept 2020, 06:50

This is my wish list:

sophisticated camera app (exposure correction, filter, spirit level, RAW files, image editing etc.)
extensive offline navigation app (I know there is pure maps)
Threema Messenger
Functionality of apps with locked screen (e.g. music, activity tracker). Activation perhaps via the UT Tweak Tool (like background suspension).
Alarm clock even when the phone is switched off.

I don't believe that's the possible kind thing.
