@advocatux said in Network Scanner by Michael Zanetti not available when searching OpenStore from smartphone.:

@Opolork that's because that app version is for vivid but it doesn't work on xenial

Hi Opolork. Ah yes, "Framework: ubuntu-sdk-15.04.3". Thanks.

Hi.

The Network Scanner app by Michael Zanetti shows here @ https://open-store.io/app/netscan.mzanetti but when I search the OpenStore on my phone - there's no sign of it. My OpenStore app is up to date. What gives?

Thanks.

@dieharddan
I think the top bar is one of the really good design features of UT: it breaks system settings into logical groups, and they're literally one slide of a finger away.

It also goes beyond just being a settings feature, with the calendar, and the email/matrix notification functions. Personally I'd like to see that extended more, but I know I'm in a minority on that one.

Making the top bar itself customizable is an interesting idea though: I never use the Files or Language settings, for example, but I know that other people do. And they're always available under the settings icon, of course, for those odd times when they are needed.

"Making the top bar itself customizable is an interesting idea though"

Hi dieharddan.
+1 to that.

@Opolork I didn't downvote but i have a little riddle: what are the worst words to use on this forum?
A hint: Like in A.......D (replace the dots with the missing letters)

Hi domubpkm I can think of worse words.

@advocatux said in What's the situation with blue light filtering on Ubuntu Touch?:

@Opolork wrong answer! You need to keep testing and improving UT until 4 a.m. at least

Far too late for an extreme early bird like me.

@advocatux said in What's the situation with blue light filtering on Ubuntu Touch?:

@Opolork in the meantime there's a proper solution, you could use a blue light filter screen protector on your device, or even use glasses with that kind of filter

Those are also valid workarounds. Although I think it's good to ditch the smartphone around 8:30pm anyway - to wind down for the night. I go to bed at 10:45pm.

A workaround for now. I will not use the smartphone after 8:30pm to combat that pesky nighttime blue light.

Good to hear this.

Hi Alan. But blue light affects everyone's sleep. Sorry, but I don't think I want to go through all of that.

@advocatux said in Any plans to have encryption as an option in future Ubuntu Touch installers?:

@Opolork probably that'll be easier on non Android devices than the Android ones.

Android devices impose many limitation on us, like for example, we can't re-lock the bootloader currently and things like that.

On the other hand, and at your own risk, you can experiment with some approach like this https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1012/one-method-to-encrypt-home-phablet

I think I'll give that a miss.
