@ingo This is the way :)

@3arn0wl Ouh! Nice...

Thank you @lduboeuf and @3arn0wl, I will edit the main text as I was talking about pictures of the devices, not screenshots (screenoshots may be easier to find). After the edit yu'll see what I mean :D)

@kugiigi I would say: go ahead and forget the drop shadow :)

It's really nice to see that on every OTA we have more presence in the media. It's the second time, though, that I see articles that use pictures of devices with the old system look to portrait Ubuntu Touch.
This is a call to all photographer that want to share picture with a free license (for the media to be able to share) showing the good looking OS device that we have.

I would say: keep in mind to not to show:

• personal data
• copyrighted content (wallpaper and similar)
• no render or mockups. We want to show the real thing at its best
• Convergence mode maybe?

Thank you

@mprotic said in Keep alive disabled by default ?:

Guys, is keep alive disabled by default ? I've noticed unreliable linphone notifications behind certain wifi routers.

Hello. Could you explain a little bit more what is the problems you have? What notifications are you having problems with (as Linphone app doesn't have notifications in the system)?
Also, a log could might be handy.
Feel free to open an issue to the project: https://gitlab.com/ubports-linphone/linphone-simple/issues

Thank you

@3arn0wl There's a pattern and it's to use whitish icon on greyish background for core system app:

• System Settings (nearly)
• File Manager
• Ciborium
• Terminal
• Clock
• Calendar
• OpenStore

and I kinda like it

@3arn0wl Ha ha ha... nicely played with deadelines :)
I like that icon.
About the name, actually in the desktop is called Files.

Time is up...
Let's have a break, as December seems to be busy month.

Stay tuned to your bat-channel

Please, keep focus.
This thread is for sending design concepts for the installer, not bugs (there's a section for that).
Thanks

I love Unity, that's a known fact but I love Sprint because lets you use icon packs.
However, I don't think Sprint should be the default launcher.

@xqqy said in Send Some: UBports Installer Love (week 5):

Actually, today's version works really good.

I agree but we are in the speculative design area:)

And how about make it stronger: let it unlock the bootloader automatically. As it is easy to make it for some phones(such as nexus7, only need "fastboot oem unlock")

I think is there because depending on your device and provider, you might loose your warranty (not with bq, they were the few that I know that you could change the OS and keep the warranty. But even buying a second hand Nexus 5 (refurbished) I got this «if you modify the OS you loos the warranty»

And a big idea maybe off-topic:let UBports Installer automatically port the ubuntu-touch to android devices. This is a big deal, but it is achievable for these devices have lineage or CM.

I didn't understand this point. Porting Ubuntu Touch to a random Android device is not that easy, that's why there's a whole porting team, some devices that UT runs on and hallium project to ease the porting pain :)

The emultors in the store have lost its developer (I think) so feel free to improve them or add any other to the system.

@dobey on Android you may try Smart Launcher (if still exists) is the last thing I had installed when I used Android

@3arn0wl
Well, it's not decision, is a recapitulation of the ideas we have been putting here but:

• we decide how we want it to work
• we are tied to «what is possible» to implement
• all in the case that we start implementing it

This week let's try a soft design extravaganza: Let's modify the UBports Installer that is in its way of upgrade.

Rules:

• Final date to send mockups: Tuesday 4th at 20:00 UTC
• Sign the mockup with the username you base your work from (if applicable) and yours
• Mockups can be on any format (even hand drawn)

To keep in mind:

• stay on topic
• be nice to each other
• be open minded
• go bananas (no limits, let's do speculative design if you want) but
• don't be upset if your design is not used

As a resume of all ideas, this could be a first step towards a more compact indicators:

• Connections, Audio and Date nearly untouch.
• Energy and power

• Notifications and downloads:

• Bluetooth, rotation, keyboard, GPS

It's very clarifying some aspects that are confusing and one of the things in my list is to try to do a little post / guide about it.

Also seems inevitable to all threads to go its way out of topic :) so, feel free to link any other place you want to follow the conversation.

In short, about the look and feel of UT, I think it feels like a better version of AndriOS :)

We could add an option to hide the bottom launcher :) so, with the scopes gone, it could be a replacement for the app scope.

@3arn0wl Hehehe... the files indicator is for download (any app that uses the Download Manager to download a file will show in the file indicator, for example, Podbird or the Browser?).

About to make an most used app indicator... I don't think is a good idea, it's not the place for it. You can favorite apps on top of the app scope, or in the Dash :)

Don't worry about scopes, they are going away (1 minute of silence) between apps and indicators, I would say if you print a document, you have an app that prints and an indicator that tells you that a document is being printed. On other cases the lines goes a bit away.
