Wish list : which apps do you need?

@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.

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

@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!!

Viber, telegram...messengers
Vanced youtube with adblocker and more feautures
Gboard or another with gesture input

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 :))

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

@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

@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

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

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

Please forgive my ignorance on this one....

How hard would it be for The Document Foundation to make an Office Suite for Ubuntu Touch app? (not referring to Libertine here)

Making a fork of Collabora Office like @stanwood suggested would take time too, while LibreOffice is a near perfect existing solution already, widely spread and well maintained. Wouldn't it make sense to team up or have a UT community effort to raise the funds necessary to have The Document Foundation create a UT version based on existing Ubuntu one? Especially now there should be extra interest from their side now that the number of Linux devices/phones with Ubuntu Touch is rapidly increasing. If necessary a LibreOffice 'Lite' version may me good enough for on the go. Having a Ubuntu Touch LibreOffice app can have a lot of positive side effects as well.

I know it all comes down to staff available. Yet a guesstimated time on altering and maintaining a LibreOffice for UT would do to satisfy my curiosity.

In general I'd love to see the possibility to have the same core apps on both Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Touch. Ultimately synchronizing both like other OS's would be ideal.

Or maybe wait for document viewer, based on libreoffice, to be made write capable?
