A nice feature I think, would be automatic toggling between silent mode and sound at specified times. Typically, it would be great if the phone went into silent mode when I start putting the kids to bed in the evening, and stayed silent until I got up in the morning, without having to remember to flip that switch every day!

@magnargj Turn off kids app, please

@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. -
@bigmouth
For now you can use "Home" app from @pavelprosto in the open store.https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6001/need-testers-home-screen-for-ubuntu-touch/73

I think the UT developers are doing such a great job, that I almost feel ashamed by listing anything.

@starrtiktokk There are enough wishes for the next 5 years I think

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. -
@applee yes, initially I wanted to put 'for the next 20 years' but I thought it would be misunderstood..

What would be nice is a feature similar to what we find on Ubuntu desktop: whenever the system crashes, or an app, or something goes wrong behind the gui, a window pops up to ask if we'd like to file a bug report. It then sends a message containing relevant logs, that we can review beforehand. I'm posting this here because I'm aware it's quite far beyond the kind of support ubports team is able to achieve but I can't help but think it would be extremely useful for devs, especially in the early phase of an OS. Centralizing error logs of targeted devices would somewhat save the time spent on the forum asking "how does my app fare on your device on such branch" or "can you report camera behavior after this update".

Do you want facebook messenger built in to the os like most android phones?
HELL NO!!!

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!

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!!!
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...
See : https://duckduckgo.com/?q=libreelec+nvidia+gpu+v4l2My personal dream is simply to have this :

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!
