    • we NEED this!!! ....or something like it

      pretty self explanatory we need something like rom kitchen

      https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kitchen-android-kitchen-v0-224-linux-mac-windows.633246/

      more devices=more people=more development=less load on existing developers=a better operating system

    • RE: flashlight to top quick menu?

      once i figure this out im going to try to use py4j to bring the java development kit to UT then we can expose UT to the direct world of java

    • RE: flashlight to top quick menu?

      a general rule iv learned over the years with linux is any distro after a fresh install needs to be built up by the user to gain usefulness

      ....cant really do that on UT as of yet .....i know people be like "try mobian"

      .....but that is not my point... my point is when the first flagship of a linux mobile operating system dropped on the world ubuntu touch

      it fell flat on its face because its nothing like linux
      i feel like this was a great sin to linux

      (i know i know ...im a broken record on this topic)

      i have a bunch of python id like to move to apps but i still dont get how to initialize python in the clickable package all the docs and tutorials appear to skip over how to do that exactly

    • RE: flashlight to top quick menu?

      i guess i dont even get why we are even trying to use libertine at all ....other than display issue cause the small screen ......and im not biting on the more secure bit ......i get it but its not worth it in my eyes ......maybe ensure compatibility across board with software like any good distro

      the real magic would be to get lomiri/unity8 window manager to interpret opening windows in a size/dpi that fits your screen

      idk its all just wishing helplessly .....if i can ever build halium im gonna try to roll my own distro based on UT but be more as described

      basically the only differences should be lomiri/unity8 and halium other than that just like any other ubuntu desktop experience

      IF ANYONE EVER DOES THIS AND CAN WALK ME THRU BUILDING HALIUM I WOULD GLADLY BE THE FIRST TO TRY IT ....whoops caps ....but yeah ill keep it

    • RE: flashlight to top quick menu?

      @cliffcoggin i think your right .....thats kinda why im trying to light the fire of making ubuntu touch more like ubuntu desktop giving you the pc in the pocket advantage

      ...make a very public release that this change has happened ....id bet a dollar to a donut the users and developers come in droves

      no one is interested in a linux distro that dont linux .basically the current philosophy is going to ultimately strangle UT to death

      not trying to be mean (to whoever makes that call) ......but the writing is on the wall

      ubports repos should be locked and only UT compatible software should be allowed there

      but then have a user/sources.list that enables other repos with a explicit warning things wont work ....UT's biggest issue is the fact it cannot leverage the history of linux .....development has been limited to one thing (clickable~as far as i know?)

      UT only has a handful of apps and half of them are web apps and the others are buggy or dont work ........basically all terminal apps work for the most part but i cant even download htop without modding the rootfs (R/W permissions)

      put 2 versions in the wild...

      what we currently have and another that tries to be like ubuntu desktop (even with the mobile desktop environment limitations)
      watch the download count then the forum members #'s

      also why not run other desktop environments? ...so what i only have a six inch monitor? lol ........p.s dont try to run another desktop environment it will currently render your device a brick

    • UT programming intents and system/app calls?

      does UT provide a "intent" call basically allowing me to call funtions from another application basically android does it like this:

      Intent it = new Intent("com.android.test2.Main2method");
      context.sendBroadcast(it)
      

      then:

      public class ActionReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
          @Override
          public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
              if ("com.android.test2.Main2method".equalsIgnoreCase(intent.getAction())) {
                  Main2method();
              } 
          }
      }
      

      and then:

      
      
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          
      
          receiver = new ActionReceiver();
          IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
          filter.addAction("com.android.test2.Main2method");
          registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
          
      }
      
      

      how does UT handle this? and any security measures i should be aware of?
