Please inform - the weather widget for everyone shows the weather in Russian localizations?

Yes for me.

Additionally, like i said, it's not possible to find easily your own place as it's only number shown after the city you search.

Here is what you get when you search a place in weather app, easy to find :

The first thing that comes to my mind, is to be able to move directly the widgets of the home screen by a long press if it is possible.

I would say rather than move, make long press on it opens the settings of the widget, and long press on an empty home screen area, open the edit home screen.

@domubpkm I thought about it, I myself am trying to cause screen editing in this way. This is possible and I will do it either in this release, or in the next ones

pavelprosto · 10 Apr 2021, 14:57

@keneda I remember this problem, I hope this widget will be released in the final release with additional information.
Just remember - you will need to download it from OpenStore separately

@pavelprosto Thank you for this.

Two other things:

I would have preferred the beautiful TELEports icon by default.
Don't forget the essential widget for Dekko if it's possible.

Please @dobey , can you see this ?

Yes, as mentioned, there is an open issue. There seems to be some problem with the content-hub stuff there, and I haven't been able to fully debug and find the problem exactly yet. There is an in-progress branch which fixes some of the warnings printed in the log, but it doesn't seem to solve the image loading issue.

@dobey When does this problem occur? What image are we talking about?

domubpkm · 10 Apr 2021, 19:42

@pavelprosto No worries. This does not concern your app. It's about InstantPho that no longer works since QT 5.12 update and can't resize images currently.

I wanted to use InstantPho to resize a screenshot of my Home Screen that you can see above and it wasn't possible.

Hi Pavel, I love your uhome app, I'm very excited about having widgets on Ut, on my Nexus 5 it works fine, but on my Bq U plus the watch widget only supports two modes , it's on devel OTA 15, everything is working again, inexplicable...
Is there a possibility to add other apps ? How can I do it?

Thank you very much, you are the best

Regards...

@josele13
Click on another clock style and wait a bit. Perhaps your phone does not have enough resources and it takes time to upload a new style picture.
Currently it is possible to add other apps only if it supports URLdispatcher (telegram://, calendar://, photo://)
You need to understand
my app supports custom widgets (which can be made by anyone), so the app's permissions are very fixed. Therefore, it is not able to run any applications, since it does not have the right to access files of other applications.
But don't despair.
I really hope that @bhdouglass will calaboration, his Simple Dash application is very fast and capable of running any application. Thus, through the URLdispatcher there is a chance to launch any application.

But first, it is necessary that he help me release uHome in Open Store

Great Work!
Everything seems to work fine, except 3 things:
-The edit grid is not fitting the screen size
-The background is not detected if it has not been changed since installation
-The notes widget preview is different from reality

I think you did a great job and thats definitely something can be extended further into a real dash alternative

@aarontheissueguy
"The edit grid is not fitting the screen size"
uHome uhome.pavelprosto_0.6.1_all.click you try this version or old?
"The background is not detected if it has not been changed since installation"
In menu press "Smart restart" it's help. The program has very limited permissions. The program cannot track system events - As a background change, it is prohibited. Because otherwise, the same will be allowed for widgets.

@pavelprosto
You should edit your first post with new link everytime you release a new version ^^

Anyway, i got a weird bug where, for the first time since i'm using uTouch, i no longer had the contact names for conversations in messaging app, and no news messages advert in it, it only showed phone numbers instead.

I tried to reboot (shut off then restar), same bug...

So i told to myself "what changed since you have this bug", and answer was "installing uHome", so i cleared data then uninstalled with UTTT, rebooted, and voilà, messaging app is working again (names and new messages shawn).

I reinstalled uHome and so far bug did not come back...

pavelprosto · 11 Apr 2021, 03:54

It is very strange. Let's hope it doesn't happen again. The program cannot write and read other people's directories, except for its own and directories with background images

Keneda · 4 Nov 2021, 07:01

@pavelprosto We'll see ^^

Anyway since you made a localization possibility, i tried to make a french one that i proposed on your git, so if i did thing well (first time i do that on a git, so i may made mistake), and if that's good to you, you can add it.

Edit : ok i think i did wrong lol... Started again... :grinning_face_with_sweat:

PS : i think there is a mistake in the po/pot files line 61"Are you shure remove this widget?" should be "Are you sure to remove this widget?", i didn't correct it in fr.po as i though it would not work until corrected in the qml file.

aarontheissueguy · 11 Apr 2021, 17:56

@pavelprosto I meant that the default background set after flashing the phone is not detected. Not even after smart restart. Grid is fixed now

pavelprosto · 11 Apr 2021, 18:18

@keneda Thank you so much for your help Don't worry, I edited your file. New version contains French localization
uhome.pavelprosto_0.7.1_all.click

domubpkm · 11 Apr 2021, 18:24

@pavelprosto Hello. What is the temperature update interval about the widget ? The temperature shown on the widget is, as far as I'm concerned, different from the one proposed internally and directly by the weather app.

pavelprosto · 11 Apr 2021, 18:27

@aarontheissueguy I can't get the desktop background because the UBport team doesn't want to give read permissions to the user's background image.
This is very insulting and I'm already tired of persuading them. They publish applications with "template": "unconfined" (full system access) permission.
I am asking for permission to read the user's background image. This permission is only read, it can in no way harm the user and his phone.
I will update this application in the header, but alas, this program will remain just a concept :crying_face:

@pavelprosto
Why don't you just put a custom background just for uHome?
I mean, make uHome have its own background.

But i don't understand what's the problem you are talking about with @aarontheissueguy , my background is the same between uHome and uTouch, and it's a customised one imported on phone by me, not one from default uTouch ones.
