Need testers Home Screen for Ubuntu Touch

@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

@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.

pavelprosto · 11 Apr 2021, 18:57

@keneda without these permissions, it is not possible to implement the next step - live wallpaper for the desktop.
uHome's goal is to add to Ubuntu Toch those interface features that other operating systems are famous for.

Keneda · 11 Apr 2021, 19:49

@pavelprosto isn't it possible if you host the wallpaper in your app folder?

domubpkm · 4 Dec 2021, 15:24

@pavelprosto Just saw that we can now edit uHome by long pressing on a widget of our choice and TELEports icon. Thanks also for french meteo !

@pavelprosto This version is much better, long press on the widget and you can access its settings, I like it. uhome 0.7.1

pavelprosto · 14 Apr 2021, 18:17

Thank you all for the kind words of support You inspire me and give me strength:flexed_biceps: I keep developing, see you soon in the open-store

Keneda · 14 Apr 2021, 18:29

@pavelprosto
Thing that would be more convinient, is the widget colors settings not reseted each time you open the color to choose.

Glad to ear you soon release your app on the open-store

PS : you didn't answered my question above ^^

@keneda
"my background is the same between uHome and uTouch"

This version of the UHome app has the permission to read the user's wallpaper. The final version of this feature will not be able to.
"/var/lib/AccountsService/users/phablet"
/var/lib/lightdm-data/phablet/ubuntu-system-settings/Pictures/"
perrmission to be removed
But don't worry, you can add your own wallpapers via the Content Hub.

"isn't it possible if you host the wallpaper in your app folder?"

Yes it possible for programm, but don't possible for me. I'm not a professional artist, I'm not a professional photographer, I'm just a programmer. Without the perrmission to read the standard uToch wallpaper, you end up with a black screen.
in final version read this folder perrmission to be removed
"/usr/share/backgrounds/"
But don't worry, and thanks to everyone for your help! A very beautiful surprise awaits us in the final version

"the widget colors settings not reseted each time you open the color to choose."

uToch does not contain a color selection dialog. I am using ColorPicker from @rshest. it does not support this function.
But don't worry, I am developing my ColorDialog and it may be included in the final release.

That's not a problem, just make it possible to add custom wallpapers in your app, hosted in app folder.

If someone wants the same wallpaper as uTouch core OS one, he just has to use file explorer and then copy/paste one to your app dedicated wallpaper folder .

And if you need a default custom one, lot of people here can help you make/find one (open source of course), and even, you can yourself copy the uTouch default one(s) to past in app wallpaper folder, they are open-source after all ^^

@keneda:
"you can yourself copy the uTouch default one(s) to past in app wallpaper folder, they are open-source after all ^^"
No, can't. Each image has its own copyright. Photo contributors have submitted these images for use by uToch, but not for uHome. The only way to use them is if the user has chosen them to be displayed as the desktop wallpaper.

@keneda
"And if you need a default custom one, lot of people here can help you make"
Yes I know. This is a very beautiful surprise, which you will learn about very soon.

Keneda · 15 Apr 2021, 02:32

@pavelprosto
Ahh... i though all in uTouch OS was open-source (like in or equal to GNU GPLv3)...

Anyway, a community one or even a find on web one can make it... https://wallpapercave.com/open-source-wallpapers
https://wallpapercave.com/search?q=ubuntu

https://www.qwant.com/?client=qwant-firefox&q=open+source+wallpaper&t=web

I say it again, that's not a problem to not be able to use the uTouch wallpaper folder ^^

domubpkm · 16 Apr 2021, 14:46

Hi @pavelprosto Thank you for the last uVideo update and your uHome link. Just to say that there isn't icon by default for uVideo on uHome even if uVideo link works and we can install an icon by editing uHome. I don't open a new uVideo 'issue'..

pavelprosto · 16 Apr 2021, 14:57

Because the new version of uHome will hit the open-store this weekend

pavelprosto · 16 Apr 2021, 21:06

https://open-store.io/app/uhome.pavelprosto
uHome is published in the open-store
It was a very long and difficult journey. Thank you all for your tremendous support!
I leave this topic for testing new beta versions and finding bugs

domubpkm · 16 Apr 2021, 23:51

@pavelprosto Thanks again for your useful great work. Nice surprise to be able to alternate background images and import personal images: the latter cannot be removed directly from the list I think (unless we do it through the cache).
Would it be possible for fun to 'play' a gif format in the background, as it installs without playing?
Personally, what I miss is only Dekko.
