Do you want facebook messenger built in to the os like most android phones?

HELL NO!!! :pouting_face:

I don't know if the ffmpeg stuff does hardware decoding on PCs or not, but I think probably it doesn't either.

FFMPEG supports Hardware Decoding for about 10+ years now!

That's what Kodi/XBMC uses and the moment FFMPEG got Hardware Decoding the VLC Player got it too!

@trwidick Wish: Enhanced start menue
I'd like to be able to create directories to sort my apps.
Also I wonder if widgets were possible, e. g. the clock app to show current time at the desktop and the weather app its information, too.

Widgets are the garbage of Android and Windows systems and have no use on Ubuntu Touch since you can easily scroll through your opened apps

But Folders would be nice for sure, however please keep in mind you simply might have too many apps installed and many of them are easily replaceable by your browser!

I don't know where do you live but in France SMS/MMS are unlimited and free of charge with any contrat...
And i think it's the same in quite all countries in Europe, so yes, MMS is commonly used.

In The Netherlands MMS was basically EOL before it was introduced!

I am really surprised to see soo many requests for MMS Support

Oh and MMS works with any smartphone, no need for the same "messenger" app installed in both sending and receiving phone, it's GAFAM and third part app free.

Dunno man...

I really REALLY like Telegram : It works on all my devices and syncs all Chat's completely unlike all of their competitors!
** Di sound on my Android phone **
Open Telegram on my Linux Laptop and read the message!
Or my Windows Gaming PC
Or any of my Ubuntu Touch devices ofcourse!!! :grinning_squinting_face:

100% AWESOME!!!

@trwidick said in Wishes, Dreams, and Unicorns:

@keneda A agree this can be very Important. I use youtube at work everyday. No better way to find a teardown of a laptop that needs a new motherboard or jack replaced. I wish i could code our problems away, but i do not code. The pixel 3a i think has hardware encoding, youtube works quite well, with out buffering, or skipping frames I might be wrong tho.

Encoding is not the same as Decoding and we need Decoding via Hardware Acceleration in this case!

As much as I hate YouTube the last 5 years or so : We really need it inside TELEports for example!
Or perhaps VLC for Ubuntu Touch in the future ?!

@dobey said in Wishes, Dreams, and Unicorns:

@keneda Well, yes, GPU is used in Linux by browsers too, at least for rendering acceleration. Using hardware decoding if available, in Linux, has always been trickier because it's not something drivers tend to provide, for example, and AFAIK GStreamer and other things don't have decent detection or handling of such things.

That is sadly VERY TRUE : Hardware Acceleration and Decoding of video's in Firefox for example is only available for about 1 year now!

And with all the new stuff going on with V4L2 it continues to be a ongoing drama story...

My personal dream is simply to have this :

Ubuntu Touch with Convergence
On any phone, for any phone!
And the ability to simply use Desktop Software in Convergence mode!

All phones should have had a hardware keyboard and a stylus pen for a very long time now!
But some fruit brand guy decided to ruin all that and now we are stuck with onscreen keyboards which are not suitable for our huge fingers! :pouting_face:

for the next 5 years

Yes with a team of 100.
There are wishes for a long long time.

The primary focus is to maintain the OS.
Another focus point should be recruting (in all the possible ways) more developers to create new features.
More developers is paramount to add new features.

I'd like to have a full ports (on the app store) of these apps and utilities
Nautilus or nemo
Libreoffice
Openoffice
Retroarch
Gens
Pico-8
Usbutlils
Steam
Wine
Flash
Java
Anbox
Compiz fusion or something similar
Launch bar editor (to change size and location of the bar icons and text.) //this isnt android we want more customuzation capabilities.//

I'd like someone to build a gui gps calibration wizard with manual location input.

I'd like an app that delivers me a cold beer/coffee per button click with beer/coffee level indicator (this should be a built in feature)

Long press for left click.

Toggle switch for long press in browser to turn off edit fuctions (copy, paste, etc) this makes an issue of a menu displaying when using browser based games that require long presses.

i would certainly use it.

replace google for g*****.

at the cost of our freedom...

to me, a much better way to handle this is making lists of words per user. everyone can choose their own filters, and how to handle their sensitivity.

and thanks for the friendly warning!

Edit: Forgot to add this. We follow the Ubuntu code of conduct https://ubuntu.com/community/code-of-conduct

and global 2g + 3g would be free, accessible everywhere. i don't need 4g or any higher.

phone calls and MMS should obviously be free as well, world wide. charge premium for voice quality, video, etc.

more to the topic, i wished that smartphones could be turned into "feature" phones, with:

• last longing battery
• an emergency physical button to call pre defined contacts, including cell tower emergency
• 12cm (4 inches) screen at most
• light and small enough that it wouldn't break when falling

i would keep a 23cm screen one as a backup phone + powerbank ultrabook with screen projection on the other pocket, with the exact same os, everything synced... but only because i work with tech.

everyone would have 2 phones.

not being able to use MMS is a bonus for me.

and pulsesms can do groups without MMS.

@moem sure that can be done......by someone from the community

No need to at me, that is exactly what I had in mind. The next time someone comes up and says 'I want to help, what can I do?' this is one of the things we can point them towards. It's nice because there is no coding experience needed.

Nothing in the context of running Ubuntu Touch on phones.

OK that's clearer ^^

I don't know if the ffmpeg stuff does hardware decoding on PCs or not, but I think probably it doesn't either.

I imagine you talks here about GNU/Linux PC, because as i remember, on windows, GPU is used in webbrowsers (that's why i was confused by the "nothing").
