The FSFE publish an open letter, that I think UBport should sign up.
you can read more details about this open letter, there: https://fsfe.org/activities/upcyclingandroid/openletter.en.html

You are probably aware of this function but you can turn on/off the flashlight from top menu -> Battery Flashlight.

I think Ubuntu Touch Q&A should be done into PeerTube instead of Youtube as it is a free and open source Video platforms.

if you use ##add ubports repository
you should add gpg key as well:

wget -qO - https://repo.ubports.com/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

I think you need the package "docker.io"

I would appreciate to have Dekko fully functional or to have an official mail client.

So I'm pleased to announce the following changes:

v2.3.4

• Addition of a new page for RSS feeds
• Improved 'Picture' page display performance
• Update translations
  v2.3.3
• Set how many calls to display!
• Set how many messages to display!
• Set how many events to display!
• Call redirection to phone app works!
• Message redirection to messaging app works!
• Force the event list to refresh by double-clicking on the event widget!
• The event list shows event from current day!
• Clicking on the 'Alarm' widget opens the clock!
• Open the photo by clicking on it!

v2.3.2

• Enable Autostart
• Fix up background display
• Fix up apps for terminal commands not working
• And many more: https://github.com/lutin11/launcher-modular/compare/2.3.1...2.3.2

v2.3.1
This is the first release since the one published by Ruditimmermans
There are no new features, but the business code has been updated.

I hope you enjoy installing and using it again.
Please report any problems or requests for improvements here: https://github.com/lutin11/launcher-modular/issues
And if you like what's new, a little love on the store always makes me happy!

Dear all of you !

As I'm the project's new maintainer/developer of the Launcher modular app , I'd like to ask you to help with the translations of the application.

Any contribution is welcome, thank you in advance!

And I hope you enjoy having it back in the shop!

Of course, I'll be trying to make improvements little by little, the latest being the addition of RSS feeds.
If you spot any bugs or see any new developments, please create tickets on the forge.

Enjoy!

@Salah, @stanwood Hello!
For the upcoming version, I have mainly done background fixes, such as for example

• fix the libertine applications launching
• fix the favorite applications launching
• fix the refresh weather when asking for home page to refresh
  But I also add a little new feature which is the possibilities to get the result of calculi made on the main search bar as you can see there

I also update the "Translator's page" and add your name or pseudo.
If you wish not, please tell me!

@kazord the worker is probably not any more useful, anyway it is not launch in a separate thread anymore.
If I remove libertineProcess.waitForFinished(-1);
the process is immediacy killed

Nov 14 00:03:23 ubuntu-phablet aa-exec[11123]: Application  "firefox"  starting into containers  "libert1"
Nov 14 00:03:23 ubuntu-phablet aa-exec[11123]: QProcess: Destroyed while process ("lomiri-app-launch") is still running.
Nov 14 00:04:24 ubuntu-phablet aa-exec[11123]: QObject::startTimer: Timers cannot be started from another thread

The code does what I want, but it remains me some stuff before publishing the fix.

Thanks for your answers,
@kazord your solution is the one I'm using to launch the apps that are not libertine ones, unfortunately it didn't work for libertine ones.
@kugiigi regarding libertine-launch the lomiri-app-launch commands add some benefits:

• I no more have to use a dedicated thread
• I do not have to require 'Launcher Modular' to be always on.

After some investigation, I realized that I do not have to launch myself Xwayland so I could remove this code.

This is the current code:

LibertineWorker::LibertineWorker(const QString &containerName, const QString &appName, QObject *parent)
    : QObject(parent), m_containerName(containerName), m_appName(appName) {}

void LibertineWorker::run() {
        QProcessEnvironment env = QProcessEnvironment::systemEnvironment();
        QString displayValue = env.value("DISPLAY", ":0");  // TODO set environement at launcher modular startup
        env.insert("DISPLAY", displayValue);

        QProcess libertineProcess;
        libertineProcess.setProcessEnvironment(env);

        libertineProcess.start("lomiri-app-launch", QStringList() << m_containerName + "_" + m_appName);

        if (!libertineProcess.waitForStarted()) {
            qDebug() << "Erreur : Failed to start application" << m_appName;
        } else {
            qDebug() << "Application " << m_appName << " starting into containers " << m_containerName;
        }

        // Wait for the app to finish, then stop XWayland
        libertineProcess.waitForFinished(-1);// avoid the 30-second timeout

        emit finished();
}

@stefancito70 Hello, did you tried the link provide on Ubports device page ? https://developers.google.com/android/images#bonito there is flash tool from google, you should try it https://flash.android.com/welcome?continue=%2Fbuild%2F5674421%3Ftarget%3Dsargo-user%26hl%3Dfr ?

@ikoz Yes It does work but not perfectly

Hello, I'm currently working on the ‘Launcher modular’ application.
Among other things, it's an application launcher that also lets you quickly view information such as the latest messages or calls received, or upcoming events.
It also allows users to briefly view RSS feeds or their photo album.
Among its features, I'm having trouble launching ‘Libertine’ applications, which currently don't work on the OpenStore version.

I'm in the process of fixing it, but I'm wondering if the solution I've found is the right one?
The way I proceed is as follows:

I've created a serviceWorker in C++ which launches an Xwayland server and the ‘Libertine’ application in a separate thread from the main application using
QProcess libertineProcess.start(‘libertine-launch’, arguments);`````
This solution works

The problems I'm having are as follows:

• I don't know If the way I've done it is correct ?
• I have to configure Launcher Modular so that it doesn't hang or else the Libertine application stops responding after a few seconds.
• Stopping the Libertine application works, but the Xwayland application remains in the background and if I stop it, Launcher Modular also stops.

If you want to see the implementation you can have a look there
https://github.com/lutin11/launcher-modular/tree/feature/libertine/plugins/LibertineLauncher

@Salah If you want to test the application with Arabic translations before the next release, you can download it there https://github.com/lutin11/launcher-modular/actions/runs/11666816035
Generally speaking, if someone want to have the current developing version, you can download it from https://github.com/lutin11/launcher-modular/actions and go to the ‘Actions’ tab, there you will find builds. Once you unzip the one corresponding to your architecture, you will find on it a *.click package that you can install.

The release 2.3.5 have just be pushed on the store, thanks to reviewers

It contains the following Fix and improvements:

• Display contact name if exists on message and call widget
• Fix contact search on Home search bar
• Improved 'Picture' page display performance
• Update translations (fr) thanks to Steve Kueffer

Fantastic, your translations will be on next 2.3.6 version !

@Salah thanks a lot \o/
