Thanks, I also love the last option with colored check boxes and the expandable list.

@eperezlora
Hi this model is not supported yet.
A port is probably possible, but someone has to do the heavy lifting.

And if you want to have a go at porting a device have a look there:
http://docs.halium.org/en/latest/porting/first-steps.html
And there
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction.html

P.S. I moved this thread to the Off Topic category as it is not really about the OS.

@jojumaxx
No problem, glad you could find the answer.
And this thread may help others. (BTW, can you make your thread a question and then mark it as solved ? You can do it using the "Topic Tool menu")

@mymike said in Improve system settings disk usage analyzer:

One thing I thought (but could be another overkill)

Better is the ennemy of good

It will require some time to align properly the labels on top of the bars

According to me there is no need to align, it will cause more trouble than it will help.
Just keep the same order and it will be fine.

For your streching problem, just use the color bar as a background like for a simple button (you can find simple examples in beginners tutorial for QML).
If you have your code available somewhere, you can share it and I can have a look.

Thanks again for the good work.

@mymike
IMHO, the numbers have more value.
But you sold me the bar too. Maybe you can put the text on top of the color bar but I'm not sure it will be easy to read though.
Another option is to keep a smaller bar on top or at the bottom of the numbers.

One screen is fine and make more sense IMHO.
Different sorting options can be very useful ; the drop down menu is simple to use and does not take too much space, so I like it this way.

Edit: The idea of a fixed number of pixel/byte seems to me not really intuitive and it could lead to problems with larger sizes or being hard to read for small values.
I prefer the ratio cache, config, app and data over total app size.

@mymike
Actually I think it's not that bad I can live with that.

To make a small contribution I'd say that "Config" should go first because that's the smallest value you should get. Then I'd put the "Cache" because that can be cleared if needed and kept low.
And finally "Data" because that should be something you want to hold longer and it could also indicate a need for sorting the data to make more space.

If you add some spacer between those values so they display in consistent columns that will be fine.

At first it was strange that the bigger value is not the total size, but it made quickly sense that it is the actual app size.

Thanks for this, that something I truly appreciate because I had the same idea, but never did something about it.
Thank you very much.

@Flohack
Apparently there is a unicode for it according to wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana_Phonetic_Extensions

@Luna
Best of luck.
And while negociating with the waiters, you can show off and promote the best OS for smartphones

It's sad governments have to come to this kind of solution

@Luna
Strange issue. If the request is sent using the app you should in fact receive a SMS in return.

As an alternative, does your government provides a solution for people without a smartphone ?
For people using a regular dumbphone or without cell phone ?
I found it strange that a law is able to force people into buying either android or apple.

@Vistaus
I think you should try to reinstall UT in order to boot and access your data.
As someone stated on this forum it's hard to trully brick a phone, so there are chances you are able to fix the installation and be able to access your photos.

Of course I don't know what lead to this situation. If the memory is somehow corrupted it might be harder or even impossible without physically accessing the memory from an external device.
Trying to reinstall is the easiest solution I can imagine right now.

And don't forget NOT to wipe the data

@peey
Yes it's safer to try it out an tinker if you have and old phone.
See if you like it, if you have everything you really need before taking the leap.

I didn't take the cautious path, I jumped right to it, but I knew that I needed very few to be happy.
I realized I missed an app for my domoticz server so I created the app.
Now I'm good, videochat would be icing on the cake...

Hi @peey and welcome to the UBports community.

Well anbox is not without kinks.
IDK about benchmarks, but there are inherent limitations.
For one the android app if working will be limited to network access.

Ubuntu Touch confinement policy prevent apps to access external data without explicit consent of the user.

In my case I don't miss much from android. Most apps I used can be replaced using webapps because there is a mobile website. Even for my bank account I don't have an issue.

Depending on the phone you'll have different potential issues hardware related.
The most notorious issu we're having is with bluetooth.
GPS fix can be a bit lon because we don't use A-GPS (IIRC it's a global issue, but I'm not sure).
Depending on the device your experience with the camera may differ.

VoWifi or VoLTE are not supported ; for more information you can search the forum there is an existing thread about it.

5G is not yet a topic. We rely on Ofono to access the modem, so it's not really up to Ubuntu Touch.

Most people can be disappointed by anbox and the app ecosystem. I found it plenty for my use cases, but depending on your needs your opinion may vary.
I have a Nexus 5 and the only think that I could wish for is a faster GPS fix and bluetooth headset to use in the car.

Oups I forgot an important topic for many people : no video chat possible yet.
Don't imagine using whatsapp ; it won't work except the chat part within anbox.
We have messaging apps for Telegram (Teleports), Matrix (FluffyChat) and Signal (Axolotl).
Audio calls using those apps is not yet available and neither video calls as previously stated.

Best regards
Richard.

@mprotic
I'm very glad it works for you.

Can you share what BT devices you're using with your OPO ?
It might help people to choose a compatible BT headset...

@tuxer3321
As stated there, the device is not supported by the installer.
In order to get it integrated, someone should help contribute to a config file (documentation here)

IDK if the developer that made this port can help, maybe ping them on github.

@magdesign said in Wire for messaging:

should we make a bounty program in the OpenStore

Hi, if I'm correct this idea was answered in an older Q&A.
Maintaining such feature within the OpenStore is something we're not ready to do.
There are solutions out there, so I guess it will be best to look out for those solutions and see how dev react.

You can post the link to those bounties in the forum, but the foundation is not involved in any financial transaction between the community and developers.

@velo27
Hi, bluetooth is known to be flickery. It works fine with some devices and doesn't work at all with others.

Recently there were improvements made on this front, but still it's not perfect.
There is work done towards upgrading bluezd but it's heavy work because of the dependencies.

Sorry I don't know a way to improve your current behavior...

Does anyone has a BT device working nicely with UT ?
That would be the best short term solution.

@jojumaxx
Hi, I just edited the title for you.
When you edit the first post, the topic title can be modified.

@potet
Sure having an example or something that can be easily integrated will help.

I find the return button easy to access, but I understand it might annoy some people.
If someone make such gesture easily reusable then I guess it will get some promotion here on the forum.

@potet
When starting a swipe from the top, the app looses focus.
A swipe from the bottom could be handled by the app, but it will be up to each app developer to use something like that.
And it's far more complex than using a simple button.
Developers can easily add alternative features if they wish...

@Username
Hi the problem is that swiping from top, bottom, left and right are already assigned to global actions resp. dropdown menu, app specific feature, launcher and opened apps.

It's reakky up to the app designer to come up with something correct.

Regarding the app you mentioned, I bet it's a webapp and yeah some website are poorly designed, but other solution will degrade the UX for everyone because of specific issue with poorly designed apps/websites...
