RE: Why uAdBlock currently no longer works
@kazord Hello! We had the same idea
I've implemented it with many optimizations a few days ago. The result was a script running 45 seconds on Intel i7 or 2 minutes 30 seconds on a Raspberry Pi. The script is single thread so it could be further optimized. The lists were ~17MB of total size when the script ended. Querying the data from Apache takes less than 5 seconds. So far it seems too good to be true, so I wanted to ask @beli3ver if I may take a look at the original sources. The idea is to build this for serverless infrastructure on Netlify that will require very little costs and almost no maintenance. Idk the numbers of requests to uadblock servers, but maybe that could be done also with the free plan.Thank you for all your efforts in Uadblock

RE: Login screen/Code input Design
@purplevvay Hi, your designs look great!
The icons look awesome, the only thing I would keep as full text is the emergency text, because it would be more visible. Also the arrow at the bottom is inverted, in the system apps ( contacts, weather, calculator... ) the arrow is oriented the other way.Sure also the mobile landscape mode should be designed. I've put the user icon on the left of the username in my designs to fit also this need. Otherwise the keyboard might overlap the login field. Making it look the same on all screen sizes would be better for convergence. On my phone the space available is less than half of the screen height (other phones with different screen ratio might have less space).
I don't understand the function of the keyboard icon. Can't I just tap on the input field to open keyboard and swipe down to hide it?
My idea for the back button is to use a left to right swipe to go back. I've thought the login as a succession of screen displaying all users and quick app access. Swiping left/right would allow you to switch screens.
@mateo_salta said in Login screen/Code input Design:
so, interesting, if we get rid of the box background completely, error text is not really visible. It is looking good replacing the text with white to match. here are screens, one no background, one with .3 opacity
Maybe we can change the way we display errors:

Don't have a microphone? Don't worry, UT can do this for you...
Hi,
this is an experiment I've done with Ubuntu Touch and I would like to share. If someone needs a microphone for conferencing during the pandemic but doesn't have one, here is how to use your Ubuntu Touch phone as a microphone for your pc.Things you need:
- Your Ubuntu Touch phone
- A jack to jack audio cable
Step by step:
- Plug the cable into the microphone port of your pc and in the jack port of your phone.
Check that you've done the step 1 before going to step 2.
Check in the sound panel that headphones are plugged. - Run the following command in the terminal:
pactl load-module module-loopback
- Note the number in the output, you'll need it to stop microphone sharing.
- Enable silent mode to prevent notifications from going into the microphone.
To stop sharing microphone:
- Run the following in the terminal replacing number_to_replace with the number you have noted before. Do not unplug the cable before running the command.
pactl unload-module number_to_replace
- You can now safely remove the cable.
Please check that you've done the operations in the correct order. (Don't hurt your ears).
Tested on Nexus 5 Dev

RE: The device page requires community help
@Moem @nero355 said in The device page requires community help:
And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE : Sort them by Brand and their Model Name !!!
We'll have sorting options soon, so you can choose to list them alphabetically or using maturity, but to have this and the filters as well we need the data about these ports
@nero355 said in The device page requires community help:
The sooner we know, the better!
True. I can say that Halium 9 devices will stay, but that's mostly up to the porter. If they wish to add all the necessary changes needed to make the device work, it will work, otherwise not.

RE: What do you think? Use only Lomiri as poweruser?
Hi,
just a few thoughts about Open-store and apt package manager. I don't think that any of the two ways is perfect or wrong, they are just different in the way they handle security and privacy.
Open store allows everyone to upload a new app, that will be automatically added and will be available by default on all the UT devices. Apps aren't checked by humans if they don't ask for dangerous permissions, because they are containerized.
APT has some default repositories which only contain apps that are trusted by the OS maker. Apps can't be submitted to be displayed in apt. The user can install all the other apps by adding repositories, that the user should trust. An app is added to the default repository only if it has enough users and it passed mantainer's security checks. This makes containerization almost unnecessary, but still a nice measure for extra security. -
RE: UBports Website rebuilding
@Kaizen Hi,
thank you, great pages.
Just some notes for the devices page:- We have an official device checklist for working features at: https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/general/-/blob/master/DeviceChecklist.md
- The installer and the preparatory steps sections could be merged in a how to install, which would be easier to read.
- If a user gets stuck while installing, it could be useful to have links to the forum, telegram channel and/or matrix channel.
I've made some changes to the page you've shared:
(My first mock-up)

RE: Login screen/Code input Design
Hi, I've made some designs previously for the ICE topic and I've added some also for the login screen. Let me know what do you think. The image is too big to upload so I'll share the direct link

RE: Login screen/Code input Design
Hello,
@mateo_salta Thank you! Having a greeter that is able to rotate would be great, so, yes, that's part of the plan. I just need to do one step at the time and I'll be there.
Working with @UniSuperBox is awesome! Thank you very much, I've learned a lot with you!
@PhoenixLandPirat Thank you for the suggestion! The accounts icon was already circular when I started, I've just used the one from the Suru theme

RE: UBports Foundation Board of Trustees Membership Application
@bolly Hello, I've applied for the membership a few months ago and I can confirm what @Lakotaubp said. I've received a mail saying that my membership request was being reviewed after two weeks from the application mail. Then after a week I got approved. I think it just needs some time, everyone at UBports is working at the 20.04 upgrade

RE: Privileged ICE contacts and medical information available on lockscreen [WORK IN PROGRESS]
Hi,
maybe just a red border to mark the notification as important and persistent could work and at the same time would be more consistent in the UT style.

RE: New Comer Guide to UTouch
@C0n57an71n Hi,
we have a very little 'daily usage' documentation already written:

maybe we could extend it instead of building something completely new? -

RE: Syncthing on Ubuntu Touch
@arubislander Hi,
I've used your app for 2 days now and I can confirm that the battery usage is much better than before .
The previous Syncthing was eating up all the battery in one night, now it is ok.
I've also found that Syncthing stops some time after the app closes. (before was running all the time)Thanks

What about putting the bars under each label? This way check boxes can be places instead of colored boxes

RE: Syncthing on Ubuntu Touch
Hi @arubislander ,
I'd like to contribute an adapted icon that looks more Ubuntuish to make the app follow the icon style.

RE: Login screen/Code input Design
Hi, I have a few updates. I've managed to make the white text more visible on light backgrounds using a bit bigger text and I made a design for the emergency screen.
@purplevvay said in Login screen/Code input Design:
I guess the only one thing we need is to make the passphrase/passcode field less rounded to match the system look.
Thanks for the suggestion! Done
I've added also some more designs to show how it could look in desktop mode:
@3t_ed said in Login screen/Code input Design:
Not looking to make this design more complicated but wouldn't it be more logical to have two buttons on lockscreen?
This would probably be confusing when you are in an emergency situation and you don't know which button to press. Here is what I've thought will be displayed when the emergency button is pressed/swiped:
I've also found a few more discussions on the forum about lockscreen / login screen that might be useful when thinking about the design:

RE: Design of the control center
@nero355 Here you have Imgur if you prefer: https://imgur.com/a/NPM6q5R
I think that indicators should have only frequently used actions, not become a second settings app. Maybe the post title gave a wrong idea about what we are trying to reorganize here.
We can add more shortcuts and quick toggles for frequent options. On the other side less indicators means less time to search for a specific one when you need to do something, so it would be good to categorize better and reduce the number of blank indicators without actually removing functions. Hiding them only when are void might be a solution for this. Some indicators currently only have one option or two, but they have the potential to have more quick options like bluetooth, location or screen indicators, I'd keep those separate.
For a more personal organization of the indicators we could set in the settings which indicators to show and which to hide ( if someone uses rarely bluetooth, she/he might not want to have the indicator, but use the settings instead when needed )
