Testing now... Works fine

@Sander That's a decent workaround! And no worries, I'm happy to wait.

@Sander Looks very nice and clean! I assume login is coming in a future version?

Establish a unified national alliance

National? Which nation are you thinking of?
Anyway, sounds like you have given yourself quite a job to do. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I don't feel any problem in not being able to run banking apps on my phone

Neither do I. I do my banking at home, on my laptop.
But then I use a bank that still allows customers to not use the app! Those are getting scarce here.

@fake-alex So what's the plan... are you offering to send these devices to people who want to try to make a port for them? Developers need to have the device in hands.

@Alain Well, there is a description in a pinned topic. But t seems few people read it.

@Alain said in Where is the Desktop?:

Maybe I should try, then

I love your attitude!

@Keneda Interestingly, I'd say this is one of the first times I've seen something posted to New Contributors that was actually suited for that category... Alain is new, and wants to learn about contributing to UT's app ecosystem. Isn't that what New Contributors is for?

@pparent Amazing improvements, thank you very much!

@gpatel-fr said in Status of the Location Service (GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo) ?:

TLDR: backdoor is too strong a word, but there are privacies issues.

Well, then I was only mistaken about Google being the culprit here. Thank you.

@Vlad-Nirky No evidence, and it may be a misunderstanding on my end. As for what you posted, I don't know what any of that means.

@adorsaz said in Status of the Location Service (GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo) ?:

As these applocations can leverage the A-GPS system, could it be possible to do the same in Ubuntu Touch applications and/or system ?

Waydroid applications probably get their A-GPS from Google; if that's the case, that's a privacy issue which we want to avoid in UT. But I've heard that a Googlefree version of A-GPS is being worked on.

I fiddled and it started working! That's the good news. The bad news is that I don't know which part of my fiddling made it work. But back to the good news: it works!

@pparent said in Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch:

everything that you type must me sent as "Backspace" is the only way to erase.

Yes, that's what I found out. Luckily I could edit the unwanted message in Signal Desktop on my laptop.

I'll see if I can find a way; if so, I will post it... and if not, I can just wait. Not a problem. I'm just happy that you're doing this.

@pparent Ah, that works! I was able to send my first message with your app.

@pparent Sorry, I don't know how to do that. Nothing I have tried so far made a send button appear, and nothing made the backspace button work. (I assume that's what you mean when you say 'back button'.)

@pparent I read that but did not understand it. It was not clear to me that this impacted the ability to send messages.

Also it's not fixing the problem.

@pparent said in Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch:

if it does not help you can try to erase app data with Ubuntu Tweaks to start over again. (And possibly this time you can choose not to transfer the chats history to the new device, to avoid problems).

This is what I did, and it worked! Now the next question is how to send a message. There is no Send button and enter does not send it.

Oh well, this is a good start, and other things will come later I'm sure. As it is, it's very promising, thank you for your effort and I'll keep watching with interest!
