@AppLee said in Open Store Dead Apps List:

The best way to do it is to allow us to set preferences and filter out the webapps.
Even if we miss some good ones.
That's a feature we can work on and which exist on the web version.

Yes, that could be a good idea. I like the filter on the web version.

I see 2 potential problems with the webapps filling the store, mainly for newcomers:

• it gives the wrong idea that there are a lot of apps available, even though many only are webapps. This could be misleading at first.
• it is not easy at first to see that there are different kind of apps and how different they are.

On the other hand, if one installs UT on their phone, maybe they know better and the webapps are not really a problem. I think that the result list in Open store shows clearly which one is an app and which one a webapp.

If people want to go on with the idea of deleting "dead" or outdated apps, an idea could be to add a button in the Open store to report the app. When clicked, it could send an email to the author to ask if they want to remove the app or if they think that it should stay in the store. And after several "reports" and no change from the author, it could put the app on a list for someone to review and eventually remove manually.

I just checked my account in settings and it appears under Owncloud, not Generic Caldav. The help page from Framagenda had instructions for synchronisation with Ubuntu Touch... (https://docs.framasoft.org/fr/agenda/Synchronisation/UbuntuTouch.html)

Maybe you should check if this option is also available for you.

@ricardo65 It may be too late now, but I had the same issue and the video posted by a member of the forum helped me solve it.

New video of Anbox install.. Because of fixed "wifi killer bug", installation is much easier and faster.

Thank you for this new build! Huge improvements on my Nexus 5.
Now I can click on songs to play them and I can easily navigate through the songs in the queue.
Another improvement: when I search for songs while listening to a playlist or an album, if I click on a song from my search results, it plays directly, it is not added last in the queue.
The only problem so far: when charging a long playlist, the queue is kind of blocked until all the songs are loaded. In this case, if I click on another song from my search results, it doesn't play and is added last in the queue instead. I tried several times and I think that it happens only when the queue is not fully loaded. If I have a queue fully loaded (I have only tried with albums or short playlists, I haven't had the time to wait until a long playlist is fully loaded), then I can play another song from my search results without problems.

I haven't had the time to play around much more, but just one small thing that could be improved in my opinion: when you make a search and find an album, if you click on it, it displays the album first, and then the songs. You can click on the songs, but if you want to play the whole album, you have to click on the small play icon (top right). It could be easier to click on the album on the top of the list, like you do with songs.

Kudos for the good work! I look forward to making more testing!

Hi,
I am still playing around with my N5 and I have tested some Android apps with Anbox. Spotify works and I can cast the music via WiFi to my stereo and via Bluetooth to a speaker.

@pixelated Yes, I had the same issue

@manland said in Futify (spotify client) need alpha testers:

@chrisse can you test with last version here please?

I will try tomorrow or next week with the latest version.

Hi,
Thanks for your work! I just tested Futify and it seems like you're on the right track.

Could you edit your first post so that either your direct link to last armhf is updated (to the latest build), either you don't give this link.
I had read the whole topic and knew that you had released an update, but as I'm not really used to Gitlab and as the version number is the same, I installed the app from your link. I noticed that I missed all your improvements, so I installed it again from Gitlab.

I have submitted an issue on Gitlab, but the main problem for me is that the queue isn't working properly. Sometimes there are songs in the queue but nothing is playing; sometimes when I listen to a song and want to listen to another one, it adds it on top in the queue but it doesn't play it and when I skip the song, the queue doesn't match songs anymore (the highlighted one is not the one playing). I am not sure if it's an issue I can submit, I have the feeling it's more general.
If it helps, I'm using a Nexus 5, with OTA 12 (RC). I use the dark mode as you suggested.

Thanks for all!

Hi!
I have been testing Calendar using Caldav with Framagenda. Everything works fine.
Nexus 5 OTA 12 (but it worked on OTA 11).
I would check the URL and the password as @hummlbach said. Are you sure it works on another phone with the same details?

@stanwood said in I'm now fully using Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 5:

Hi,
It works with UTmedia. Try to dowload it from the Openstore. I have tried 3-4 media players and this was the only one to work.

Two Unity8 restarts and it still works! Thanks!

You're right, I just restarted Unity8 and they vanished.
Tell me if your solution works before I transfer them again.
Otherwise, I will transfer them to Downloads and copy them to ../applications everytime I restart Unity8 (not often)...

Hi,
Everything works fine, thanks!
