Need testers Home Screen for Ubuntu Touch

[Keneda]

@aarontheissueguy
The best would be to see it becoming part of uTouch core, so there is no hack to do like on LM, as it's not endorsed, may it be tolerated, by the core devs (read this thread for better understanding).

So, let Pavel make a great(er) app, without bugs, without hacking the system, and USE IT (the more we use it, the more it has chances to merge with uT), untill it's time to polish uTouch user interface (that it needs), as before, 20.04 LTS must be out.

---

And now, let's show your Homes (please try to adapt image scale to forum, with Gimp for instance) !

Mine first :

PS : for the sake of dumb and dumbers, like i am, the sticky "0040" note is a reminder to myself for where am i in the process of recovering the PIN CODE from my smart TV, that i forgot after having set it months ago... Yes i know 40/10000, it's a long way still :grinning_face_with_sweat:

I love this app, it's wonderful, it gives Ut more versatility, everyone can choose how they want their home, I like the widgets, Thank you Pavel for this app and for your great effort to make it.

Regards...

@josele13 Nice. My choice is to name the internet 'Morph' or Morph-browser' instead of 'Internet Link': it's less impersonal.

@domubpkm
Like i did

@keneda Yes I see now indeed ! I was left with your first version of 00:59 (no screenshot) received by mail : we can see afterwards the last revision IF we go on the forum, but we not receive by mail the revisions.

About Dekko, I really love this email client too. Unfortunately I cannot implement a widget for it, uHome's permission are very very limited.
But it can be implemented by the Dekko programmer. His application can interact with my desktop and I will be happy to help him with this

I opened a feature request.
You can comment here if you want

@keneda agreed I would love to see this being merged into master at some point.

Little update :

I managed to find some icons with transparancy (this way you can change background colors @domubpkm :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: ) in /usr/share/icons, i used thoses from suru/apps/scalable, i let them grey for the moment, but color can be changed with Gimp for instance...

I also managed to find some additional URLdispatcher compatible apps, wich are dialer app, openstore app, uTouch settings, contact app.

To add one of them, add an internet widget, and go to "Link URL" field, erase it, and add instead (edited since new findings) :

• document:// for launching document viewer

• dekko:// for Dekko mail app, or mailto://xxx@xxx.xxx for opening new mail form to setted address

• addressbook:// for contacts

• openstore:// for openstore

• settings:// for uTouch settings

• dialer:// for opening dialer, or tel://01.02.03.04.05 for opening dialer with number pre-composed, each number need to be separated by one dot (in this example, it's a french number pattern), "tel" with no number do the same as "dialer".

• message:// also exists for opening messaging app, but it opens it with form to create new message, i did not find a way to open it the same as if you open it from drawer/launcher, but if you add contact name or contact number after it + a third / it will open the contact thread (thanks @domubpkm for the finding) : message:///01.02.03.04.05

[domubpkm]

@keneda No time to look at it now but thanks for the info.

[domubpkm]

@keneda said in Need testers Home Screen for Ubuntu Touch:

if you add contact name or contact number after, unlike with "tel", it will do nothing else

I have found : message:///06........
Use 3 /

[Keneda]

Another app URL-Dispatcher compatible :
document:// for launching document viewer

Feel free to add some if you find or know one ^^

Edit:

WOW, great, thanks, i'll edit ^^

Edit 2 : i ran a test, and the 3 "/" can be used with some others, for instance, settings:///cellular will directly lead to the cellular settings!
I tried before only with 2 "/" and it didn't work, thanks to you now we know ^^

@Keneda Message and Dialer: it is not necessary to put a dot after every two numbers. The numbers can follow each other. Try.

That's the way i tried at first, and the number prompted in the dialer app had nothing to do with the one i put. :confused_face:

Edit : i just tested again, if i do tel://0102030405 the dialer app opens and prompts 18495...

@Keneda

dekko://

works on my BQ E5 HD !!!!

[Keneda]

@domubpkm Great
Just checked the Dekko url-distpatcher, and there is also mailto:// , i assume it allows to add a mail address after to open new message form to the choosen address.

[domubpkm]

@keneda Yes. I think no dot is necessary when the phone number is in contact list. That's why it works for me and not for you.

[Keneda]

@domubpkm
No, i first tried with my mum number not the dummy one i put on a public forum ^^
And my mum very IS in my contact list :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:
I think it might instead be linked to the SIM and its provider.

[Josele13]

@keneda Is a link to File Manager possible?

[Keneda]

@josele13
Sadly i have not found any URL-dispatcher entry for file manager, although that's one of the first app i searched for.
