      Little update :

      screenshot20210419_051500856.png

      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

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

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

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

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

            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...

                    @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.

                      @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.

                        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.

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

                              Hello @Flohack Do you know if there is an URL dispatcher for file manager or not ?
                              Me and @Keneda, we think currently the answer is NO, but we want to be sure. Thank you.

                                As i told i searched for an entry but found nothing (searched all files in uTouch with terminal and on git repository).

                                You can try yourself :

                                On your device, open terminal and then type find / -iname "*url-dispatcher*" -type f 2>/dev/null.

                                On file manager git https://gitlab.com/ubports/apps/filemanager-app/-/find_file/master just enter "dispatcher" or "url-dispatcher".

                                Try on terminal git to see what it gives when there is one : https://gitlab.com/ubports/apps/terminal-app/-/find_file/master

                                But, let's hope, maybe i'm wrong and @Flohack will save us lol

                                      New version to upload in Open Store and GitHub:

                                      • The api of the application was updated on GitHub for everyone
                                      • The position of the widget settings button has been changed so as not to overlap with other elements.
                                      • New template browser for links. Added many new
                                      • Added Analog Watch Dial
                                      • Added Dutch translation
                                      • Added time update slider for weather widget

                                      What hasn't been fixed/added yet

                                      • Landscape mode does not work fully
                                      • Widgets still do not support localization(only the program itself can be translated)
                                      • Later I will add a browser for icons for the link widget
                                      • There was a wish that the stickers could be of any color.

                                        So you can close it 😉

                                        Also you added the links we talked about above, and even more 🙂

                                        Glad to see you continue updating your app.

                                          @keneda Yes! Thank you so much for this idea
                                          And about express contacts. For the link to work correctly, it must be in the form of:
                                          tel://<country code>.<subscriber's number>
                                          For example in Russia the country code is 8
                                          So the link of the express contact:
                                          tel://8.1234567890
                                          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trunk_prefix

                                            @pavelprosto Hello.
                                            Glad to see you back and making progress with this useful app.
                                            Question: Is there a formulation for automatic dialing of a pre-programmed number? I have not found it. Otherwise, if it is feasible, I submit the idea.
