Hi,
I just wrote a PDF reader based on Chromium PDF engine.
It's pretty dummy, written in 30 minutes. But quite useful (at least for me) given the limitations of Document viewer, and that sturmreader is currently broken on noble.
I think it will greatly benefit from Qt6 upgrade, when it comes, because of improvement of the engine in chromium.
It is published in the openstore:

Ok in this version of whatsweb I have the notifications working without being unconfined, and it gets to the system panel! (Provided the app is not suspended in background)

Hi,
Whatsweb has been upgraded to version 0.3.0 and later 0.3.2 . @alefnode has merged my work including some improvements listed bellow 🥳. The app should work correctly for all the main features. If you see something not working please do not hesitate report, as I'm working on it these days.
Improvements released in 0.3.0:
Improvements released in 0.3.2:
Todo later:
@Opolork Dual boot is possible on vollaphone, it's a feature provided by the manufacturer.

My solution to the initial question:
Here is my QML module to handle local notifications:
https://github.com/pparent76/UbuntuTouch-qml-notify-module
It contains a script setup-project.sh to install automatically all the requirements into the app project.
Also this push request to the whatsweb app can be pretty informative:
https://github.com/alefnode/ubports-apps/pull/44
Especially this commit that corresponds to setting up the module with setup-project.sh:
https://github.com/alefnode/ubports-apps/pull/44/commits/81d08baba14ed941ca0c9b246d0df543b0a452a6
Actually it's published in openstrore:
https://open-store.io/app/chromiumpdf.pparent
And I guess privacy and freedom activists especially in the field of mobilephones, might have interest in being proactive and proposing solutions at the edge of privacy protection, rather than letting others propose solutions that are not so good for privacy.
If others want to do it, I'm willing to participate in developing such an app.
@lduboeuf said in Send notification locally from QT/C++/QML App.:
congrats for your perseverance. Now you are in the perfect situation to update or create a documentation
Thank's I will make better than this! 
I will update my QML notification module, and make a scripts that installs into an existing project all the prerequisites for it to work. Because there are some many tweaks to achieve it that it should not be done by a human, it's a loss of time, and the risk of mistake is too high. And anyway a script is always a more precise documentation on the actions to take than a human readable documentation.
Hi,
Yet another PDF reader app! This time based on PDF.js
Note that it might currently not be the best PDF engine for touch display, because it is currently based on an old version of PDF.js (v2.13.216) which is the last supported by webengine in Qt5.15. And it does not support pinch to zoom.
But as soon as we upgrade to Qt6, I will upgrade PDF.js version and it should offer a great user experience.

Thank you for your work it seems very interesting to me!
Just a quick question: do you think it would be feasible to create a .click package and have it in the Openstore? In a similar fashion that uWolf and uFirefox does? Can we avoid libertine containers? Do you think upcoming Mir2.0 will change anything in this regard as it supports Wayland?
Do you use Mobian build scripts for ARM, for signal-desktop? https://github.com/0mniteck/Signal-Desktop-Mobian/releases
And also note: if we can get an initial version to build and make an UT package I'm willing to work on making patches to make the interface responsive as I have done with whatsapp web. I think this is the easy part.
But we should first make a set of scripts to build automatically a binary, and then a click package that can run on UT.
Seems to stop happening when I disable emergency notifications.
It just happened again , I will disable any broadcast notification to see if it stops the problem. I really hope that I will find a solution because this thing will make my phone unusable...
Hi,
Today I've seen two orange screen crash: While the phone is suspended, the screen suddenly turns orange (fully screen), and the only possibility is to reboot the phone.
This is the first time I see this. I'm on a volaphone on Noble 24.04 stable: 24.04-1.0 . I've done the upgrade few weeks ago without noticing this thing.
The only thing I've done this morning is install and then uninstall Morph browser Qt6 preview.
On Saturday I've also enabled some emergency broadcast notifications from the setting panel, because there was an exercise where I live and I was the only one not to get the information broadcasted by the authorities. I don't know if it might me related.
Anyone has ever seen that?
You need to turn off the phone, and then boot with long push on "power" and "volume up" buttons at the same time, until you see a "Recovery Menu", then select the first option "Boot recovery", then connect it in USB to your computer and the installer should work fine. Select Ubuntu Touch 24.04, and sit back & relax while the installer is doing its job.
@XPran said in Desperate guy Here:
@Keneda from where ? UB ports from the pc?
Yes install this program on your computer:
https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/installer/
Connect your phone in USB, and follow the instructions, It's pretty straightforward, and soon you will have a functional phone, with all the apps that you need.
@ToxyPoxy Although it seems that calls could possibly make its way to Whatsapp web one day, which would be amazing, and then we will probably be able to support it inside the app.

https://3dvf.com/en/whatsapp-will-soon-allow-making-calls-directly-from-your-web-browser/
It's not a feature currently offered by Whatsapp Web, so as whatsweb is based on Whatsapp Web, the answer is no.
For that you can try to use Whatsapp inside Waydroid, which should work, although call quality may vary!
But what do you think about basing a solution on a custom build of signal-desktop?
Because this seems to me the most promising way it have it running (Especially with upcoming Wayland-compatible Mir2.0), and I might give it a try when I have time.
In Chromium PDF the zooming & scrolling is mostly fine and quite responsive, much better than document viewer.
Although I think performance will still improve with Qt6 to be perfectly fluid, and with Qt6 PDF.js might be even better than Chromium PDF, and we'll get top-notch PDF reader.
For me (on Volla phone 22) the flashes are not quite short especially when zooming a lot into the PDF.
I use PDF reading mainly for tickets (train, events, concerts) with a small QR-code inside the pdf, and I have to zoom on the QR-Code to display it fullscreen as fast as possible. With document viewer it take ages to do that.
