Wish list : which apps do you need?

@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.

@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.

@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.

It apparently is on some devices, which have the hardware to schedule a "power on" time or such.

Keneda · 7 Sept 2020, 13:53

@dobey
So those devices are not completly switched off, no?
I mean, if the device can "wake up" and clock ring when setted by user, something, hardware + software, must still run on background?

dobey · 7 Sept 2020, 15:01

@Keneda The SoC is powered off. There is a separate RTC which is extremely low power, and can signal the SoC to power on and which results in phone restoring to power on and the alarm notification, if I understand correctly.

This is why some phones will drain battery faster than those without the feature, when powered off.

Xournal would be good to have... though it could do with a handwriting to text function.

And a speech recognition app. Dragon Dictation is the proprietary one, but I'm sure there must be OpenSource equivalents.

stanwood · 7 Sept 2020, 21:27

A usable (read & write) office suite which would be .odt & .docx compatible. Maybe a fork of Collabora Office would be a realistic solution?

Tominto · 7 Sept 2020, 23:20

I would like an *fm tuner app that operates the fm tuner in my phone
*an equalizer for the music player
*the ability for the music player to read replaygain tags
