Hi,
Here is my first app "Taquin" a simple and classic puzzle game, that I have just published on the OpenStore and the source here: https://gitlab.com/AloysLiska/taquin

Please be indulgent, that's a beginner work, but I would appreciate your feedback on the app, on the code,etc.

QML and javascript were new for me (I have software skill and I mainly developed in C).
To begin with QML, I use : https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-tutorial1.html, and https://mimecar.gitbook.io/qt-course/
And for javascript I use : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide.
And of course I use the UBPorts documentation.

My editor was Kate (default editor of Kubuntu), simple and sufficient I think for a simple app.
When you begin, there is a lot to learn, so I did not want to use something new for me (like Qtcreator or another editor).

For the next version of Taquin, my objective is to allow user to select an image in its gallery.

Enjoy the app (kind of game useful to kill time)!

@Lakotaubp, I fully charged the battery as you said, but it was the same problem, it was stuck in the first screen.

I tried to start the phone on bootloader by holding pwr and vol down buttons, but I never succeed!

I tried UBports installer, but last version 0.1.21 does not work with my FP2, I have the issue:
Fastboot: Unknown error: downloading 'boot.img'...OKAY [ 0.360s]booting...FAILED (remote: bootimage: incomplete or not signed)finished. total time: 0.361s

I add this problem before, see:
How to manually upgrade from OTA-3 to OTA-4 and @advocatux suggested to use the UBports installer V0.1.12.

I launched this version and it finally works!
I had to select manually the device to FP2, because device was not automatically detected. I reboot with pwr+voldown or pwr+volup+voldown buttons several times, after several reboots, it succeed to detect the device, and the update procedure went till the end successfully.

Now I have the OTA 8 and all my data.

Thank you @AlainW94 and @Lakotaubp

@luksus , on FP3 (OTA-23), I confirm that microphone stop working in recorder app after a phone call.
I also succeed to restore microphone by doing:

• recorder app is open, no recording in progress
• open the phone app and make a call
• during the call, launch a recording in the recorder app: the mic works again
• close the call and close the phone app, the mic still works in the recorder app

Thanks @cibersheep for your answers, I succeed to do what I want with Content Hub and a C++ plugin to manage file deletion and renaming.
I wrote a a sample app available here: importwithcontenthub, with many (too much!) comments.
This sample app allow user to import an image, the image is stored (so that it is available on next app launch). And when user imports a new image, it is stored by overwriting the last one (only last imported image is stored).

Hi,

The docker images, used for Clickable, accumulates on my hard drive and I run out of space!
I run Kubuntu 20.04 on a disk of 120GB, and I have another larger disk for my /home.
Until now I did not care where this images where stored, and I was a bit surprised to run out of space.
Docker images are stored in /var/lib/docker so they uses space on my 120GB disk.
And I have many images:

XXX@XXX:~$ docker image ls

I do not know exactly which ones I shall keep, so I will delete all of them (by using the appropriate docker commands), and then do a clickable update to reload required images.

So no question, just to share, but I will be interested if anyone has recommendation, or info to better handle this.

Hi,

Just to say that now with UT 16.04, no more problem, I can connect by ssh from my phone (ssh client) to my PC (ssh server) by using the public/private key authentication.

@jezek I also agree, same behavior with my FP2.
Especially torch and flash doesn't work. I see this should be corrected in the device page, there is a merge request: https://gitlab.com/ubports/infrastructure/devices.ubuntu-touch.io/-/merge_requests/50 .
It seems there is a lot of variabilities between FP2 users. On my side no significant battery overconsumption with mobile data, and very very rare reboot.
But my camera is not reactive, I must wait almost 5 seconds to take a photo after launching camera app.

I found my problem: my docker image was obsolete.
I delete the docker image "clickable/ubuntu-sdk 16.04-amd64"
I launch again: clickable desktop
It download a new image and run successfully without error.

I did not know anything about docker, here is what I discover:

• First I read a bit on docker: https://docs.docker.com/get-started/
  I understand that with docker there is the image and the container. The container is the execution of the image. The image can be downloaded from docker hub and I think this is what clickable does, the image for 16.04-amd64 is here https://hub.docker.com/r/clickable/ci-16.04-amd64 . And I suppose this image is built from: https://gitlab.com/clickable/clickable-docker-images/-/tree/master/ubuntu-sdk/16.04-amd64
• to list the images: docker image ls

clickable/ubuntu-sdk   16.04-amd64         b2a675929781        13 months ago       2.77GB

as you see my images were 13 months old!

• to delete the 16.04-amd64 image: docker rmi b2a675929781
• and I delete also the 16.04-armhf image

There is probably a better solution to update a docker image, no?

Hello,
I have exactly the same issue on my Fairphone2. I just had it, install UT successfully (15.04 rc). I install telegram application from the open store, but I cannot search a group, there is no button for that. When I go to contact or to new group, it is in endless loading loop. In the scope, when I try to search, I have no keyboard and I cannot paste in the search field.
I do not know what t do.

Hello @opolork
For info on my FP2 (with OTA-22), the video recording is working well, quality is good.

Thanks @marathon2422 and @Opolork ,
I am pleased that you like it, I also received contributions for translations, that's motivating for me, I will update the app!

Hello @ezst036
I see the same settings as you: 16:9 8.3MP (or 4:3 12MP), and I did not find how to have a higher resolution.

Thank you @advocatux.
I have the version: com.ubuntu.camera 3.0.1.765

Thank you @cibersheep , your code helps me to do mine!

Hi,
Finally, I managed to solve the MMS issue on my FP4 for french operator "Bouyges Telecom"!
After reading these post: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10181/fp-4-without-mobile-data/4 and this one https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10464/how-to-fix-mms-issues, I gave it another try and found a working solution for both internet and SMS.

I did:

• Delete all existing APN settings
• Create a new APN setting with fields:
  • Internet and MMS
  • Name: Bouyges Telecom
  • acces: mms.bouygtel.com
  • MMSC: http://mms.bouyguestelecom.fr/mms/wapenc
  • And keep all other fields empty.
    Here is the screenshots with french language:
    

Yes! it is working with last clickable version (6.23.3).
Thank you @lduboeuf !

Hi,
If it helps, I did a sample app (with many comments) to manage import of a file with content hub, see:
https://gitlab.com/ubuntu-touch-applications/sample-applications/importwithcontenthub

Hi,
I am working on an update of WifiTransfer app
You can see here a draft of layout

This is not so easy to make clear information for user. I tried!

Feedback is welcomed!
