      @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.

                          I see you filled my issue https://github.com/pavelprosto94/uHome/issues/18 😁
                          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.

                                  @pavelprosto As it is, tel://xxxxxx... opens the dialer with this programmed number, but you have to press the 'phone' key to dial this number. The goal would be to remove this last step and have an automatic dialing.

                                      With a little bit reverse engineering I found a way how to add more applications on the uHome desktop:

                                      Note: The preinstalled applications are stored in /usr/share/click/preinstalled and "after" installed applications are in /opt/click.ubuntu.com
                                      As someone mentioned here, using a command lomiri-url-dispatcher-dump you can check applications with existing links.

                                      You need to choose one of those applications (e.g. Weather) and go to its installations directory (/usr/share/click/preinstalled/weather.ubports/6.0.2). Now find the file named lomiri-weather-app.url-dispatcher
                                      So in other words the goal is to find some existing *.url-dispatcher file as an example. I found a second option used by uHome application itself and that is a json file instead.

                                      Now do a copy of this file into your home directory. Rename according your new application, (e.g. level.luksus42.url-dispatcher). Edit this file and rewrite the url to desired word. For example rename "weather" to "level".

                                      After this you need to make the root filesystem writable (sudo mount -o remount,rw / and copy the file to corresponding directory for the new application (e.g. /opt/click.ubuntu.com/level.luksus42/0.5/level.luksus42.url-dispatcher

                                      Next step is to edit the manifest file of the new application (e.g. /opt/click.ubuntu.com/level.luksus42/0.5/.click/info/level.luksus42.manifest). Find the section "Hooks" and add a line refering to your "url-dispatcher" file.
                                      Example:

                                          "hooks": {
                                              "level.luksus42": {
                                                  "apparmor": "level.luksus42.apparmor",
                                                  "desktop": "level.luksus42.desktop",
                                                  "urls": "level.luksus42.url-dispatcher"
                                              }
                                          },
                                      
                                      

                                      Be carefull about the commas at the end of lines. Note, that each line has comma at the end but the last line doesn't.

                                      Now reboot your device and check if the new link was added lomiri-url-dispatcher-dump. If you see it there you almost won. Now you need just to add a link onto uHome desktop, use the chosen url and search the app directory for corresponding icon.

                                      I will be happy if this guide helps someone except me. And I wish, that the uHome app will be migrated to the current and future systems. I also would appreciate if you add an option to group Links in folders like it is in android/iOs systems.

                                      Thank you @pavelprosto for this app.

                                        As he is russian i wish he is in a safe place.

                                            Hi
                                            Realy good job !! I dream to have it as daily start screen 😉
                                            Many good ideas in this app.
                                            I install it recently, so i will make suggetion later (after more experiments). Is it already possible ? (i don't have the skills to do it myself...).
