Thank you so much for your work on this! - this definitely seems incredibly promising.
My own priority feature enhancement request would be for it to be able to include launchers for the desktop apps we have installed via Libertine - if that was enabled then I would be able to have all the functionality (and more) that I have via the current Dash. Thanks for your consideration on that!

One small suggestion - if you must access private info on your phone - the Standard Notes UT webapp allows one to add a password for loading end to end encrypted notes from the web.

@uri - as far as your problem with video playback goes - this is a known problem solely on the Nexus 5 - one work around is to use the UTMedia app instead of the default Media Player app.

In regards to battery - I don't have direct experience with this - but there are a lot of replacement batteries available for it on the online markets - and instructions on how to change it can be seen here - https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nexus+5+Battery+Replacement/26009

That is awesome Kugi! Thank you so much for your work on this, and I truly hope this can make it into OTA10 if at all possible.

@Giiba - something strange might be going on with those files because my OnePlus One can play mp4 with no problems with the core app Media Player - and can play webm using the UTmedia app. Perhaps you can post a public download link to those files so we can test them out as well?

A couple other apps which work well in my testing:
Hardinfo (system info via gui)
Xarchiver (archive manager for compressed file formats)

Maybe try instructions discussed here:

Check that the fix is even needed (may already be using ubuntu.espoo) -- run in the terminal:

$ ps aux | grep [l]ocation-service | grep provider

root 987 0.0 0.5 146540 9852 ? Ssl 19:19 0:00 /usr/bin/ubuntu-location-serviced --bus system --provider gps::Provider --provider remote::Provider --remote::Provider::name=com.ubuntu.espoo.Service.Provider --remote::Provider::path=/com/ubuntu/espoo/Service/Provider

Like above, if you see ubuntu.espoo in the output, then the fix is already in place
The fix below only works if you see wolfpack.geoclue2
Run the following commands from the terminal:

(Optional) Save a copy of the file to your home directory

$ cp /etc/init/ubuntu-location-service.override ~

Make the root partition writable

$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /

The following command changes wolfpack.geoclue2 to ubuntu.espoo in both places in the file

$ sudo sed -i -e 's:wolfpack(.)geoclue2:ubuntu\1espoo:' /etc/init/ubuntu-location-service.override

(Optional) Check that the changes have been made successfully

$ grep espoo /etc/init/ubuntu-location-service.override
opts="$opts --remote::Provider::name=com.ubuntu.espoo.Service.Provider"
opts="$opts --remote::Provider::path=/com/ubuntu/espoo/Service/Provider"

@TotalSonic said in New Launcher, edge channel.:

I think the ultimate plan (or at least one possible one) is to allow people to place widgets and launchers on the wallpaper background as if it was a "home" (same as if it was a non-vanilla-Gnome-3 desktop) - but that this will take time to code and the need to streamline the code and image size to what can be easily maintained makes the first step of getting rid of Scopes one that will have to happen in order to make any forward progress from there.

It has been an idea that a few people have mentioned. There is currently no plan to do it (nor do I think should there be, as it's not a convergent feature).

I don't see why allowing icons and widgets on a "home" background (whether mobile, tablet, or desktop) would be consodered "not a convergent feature" when that feature is an integral part of most OS's in all 3 form factors. I do agree that coding that feature to be truly convergent would likely be difficult, and as such should not be a priority for the UBports team.
