@kugiigi thanks it slipped my mind i knew it used QT i was just having a moment lol yeah in my experience with things like that it should be updatable cause it should bring all the old api and then some new ones however my experience with QT is quite limited now i wonder?
does clickable or whatever web engine UT uses need updated in this photo is missing some graphic elements im aware i changed the text and thats all i changed .....but missing gfx for sure notice the background Screenshot_2023-02-03_10-45-11.png
Iv been off UT for a day or so messing with my orange pi but i think im gonna try installing plasma mobile .....https://plasma-mobile.org/ would be sweet if it worked on top of UT
lol i literally just updated like 8 hrs ago but all seems well xaiomi redmi note 9 on dev channel
@applee thank you very much
You are correct i got rootfs rw all i fid was try again i guess it just took the 37th try .....whole thing makes no sense but it works
Also im able to run clickable from the command line
i could fork it....but i wouldnt be a good fit as a maintainer
not sure if this is the main repo or just a fork i googled it and grabbed the first one
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
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
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
@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
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?
@moem very true ....once i learn a few more things i have plans on diving in myself
....right now im still trying to conquer clickable once i do that i can add functionality all over the place via apps
as far as core development goes im still stuck on building halium so once i figure that out itll be sweet
i have a few more devices id like to add to the list ....also on thing i have to deal with is since my laptop died a few weeks back
my main computer is a orange pi 5 16gb ram model its pretty sweet but im kinda limited to arm64 and the ubuntu image im running isnt the cleanest being freshly rolled
@moem i hope so but im still a little worried i cant access my rootfs i like to directly run some terminal apps and experiment with how i can break the system lol .....actually i could update that list of things that run directly ill have to redo some stuff tho ........as my mind is a steel trap ....rusted shut
@cliffcoggin i wonder if it could just be responsive so whenever you add a item iy just produces another row ......i really hate to say it i really do ......but we should take a really good look at how and why android does things (i just realized android does this) ....i say we make the billions in R&D work for us
@moem yeah ill have to check it out i wish i could find some more in depth info about clickable and project permissions and the like im trying to roll my own
@applee while my phone works it for sure has a borked rom
while being android it hung on the boot animation so i flashed UT and now i can use it but no rw no matter what i do
im suspecting is interfering with rw permissions on rootfs somehow that dont make sense
@kugiigi nice also got me wondering about "home screen" while technically UT dont have one in a traditional sense
im wondering if i can lock a app open so it always is in the main screen even if you change open task or the app menu?
im working on a neat 3d menu
i keep adding clickable commands prob gonna do them all over time
eventually gonna put a loop on it to keep the menu open
also create a clickable create instance in a non clickable directory
