Neither Libertine nor Anbox is anything other than a temporary fix. We need to build apps suitable for use on touchscreen devices (across platforms).

@AppLee
Thank you. That's very kind.

Hello,

I was wondering if searx.info could be added to the list of search engines in the Morph browser.

Thank you.

There is one (exclusive to iOS) app that I miss from my iPhone 3 days - a very simple to use, but powerful database app called TapForms.

I could really use something like that on UT if anyone would care to make it.

@AppLee
Ah okay - a page refresh sorted that. Thank you.

There's been an update today, and I'm pleased to report that this very useful app is working again!

Thanks, Tim.

@AppLee
With respect... Ubuntu Touch was touted as the OS suitable for all use-cases: that was the whole point of convergence.

I wonder if, slowly, measure by measure, we're losing parts of the original vision.

@AppLee
Nevertheless, he's right: some apps are only relevent for the phone. All unnecessary apps ought to be removable*. My bug-bear is the external storage app on the N5.

This isn't just a phone os.

And Go away and use Android ought never to be the response of someone who takes a moderator role on this board.

I know that the real reason is that the apps were baked in.

It was good to see an update of the Calendar app this morning: I've often thought that the flipside to a calendar app - using the same resources - is a ToDo list... Perhaps the maintainer might consider adding that functionality. (They could perhaps take inspiration from nitrotsks)

I'll second that...

A "Search your computer" function like Unity7 had would be a valuable feature... especially as things often seem to get put in nether regions.

Not a top priority though.

I'd been thinking (since the logo on the back of the PinePhone) that the Bootlogo for UT might be simplified to just a monochome 3D Yumi head... i.e. UT is big enough now not to need "UT for N5", or whatever: it can stand on its own.

@Rondarius
Yes! I watched in some horror as a friend of mine took the back off his... I'm not at all keen to do that - I'll take it into one of those phone repair shop places. They can have that stress!

Thanks, @Lakotaubp

@Alter said in Is my N5's battery giving up after 7 years...:

@Bramble Just wondered if switching channel to stable improved battery life for you?

Thank you for the concern. Sadly, changing channels did not solve the issue: A new battery it's going to have to be.

@AppLee
Ah okay - a page refresh sorted that. Thank you.

@AppLee
Thank you. That's very kind.

@AppLee
Thank you.

@UniSuperBox
Yumi's disappeared from the browser tab... Perhaps a design decision?
