hi and thank you for replying.

i am sorry, but there does not exist a log (anymore?), probably because i proceeded/accepted deleting the faulty configuration?

on the other side, i am still not able to restart the registration process because of this error message. any file/folder i should delete manually so to start from scratch?

ota-13, nexus4 - installed axolotl 0.8.9 from within openstore.

entered my mobile number, received the registration code, which unfortunately failed to register?

now, a second registration attempt / new code is not possible, because my phone number is no longer accepted (confirmed to delete corrupted configuration).

any chance to restart this process?

since upgrading to ota-12 stable (now on ota-13 stable), my nexus 4 has problems connecting to my router's (hidden, wpa2) wlan network.

it usually takes several attempts to connect, sometimes it fails after all.

anyone else here struggeling with this issue?

Axolotl UT native Signal client https://open-store.io/app/textsecure.nanuc -

thanks for recommending axolotl beta, i will definitely check it out.

anyway, as a longtime tox user, a https://utox.org/ or https://qtox.github.io/ clickapp would still be awesome to have

i especially like the fact that you only choose a username and voila, that is the whole "registration" process. voip is also possible.

will test and report, thanks

works like charm, thansk you!

hi steve,

thanks for your feedback.

@TotalSonic said in essential software proposals for ut:

none of the apps you listed have ever particularly occurred to me as "essential"

no surprise, as this is a purely subjective list - i would probably feel the same about your priorities. i don't seem to find the initial thread anymore, otherwise i would have posted there.

@TotalSonic said in essential software proposals for ut:

and a number of them seem redundant of native UT apps that are already readily available

true, but there is quite some features missing. you are probably right about improving existing software and making suggestions, which i already did before.

i am also in for any recommendation you can give me. how about a secure messenger like tox f.ex?

@dobey said in essential software proposals for ut:

You can create a libertine container and install any console based tools you want to use

is libertine performance-wise also possible on the nexus 4? how much space will a container ask for?

@dobey said in essential software proposals for ut:

Though, terminal apps on a phone will be difficult to use, and hardly qualify as essential software.

regarding essential software: this is just meant to be desktopsoftware which i consider important myself, ut limitations possibly included

this is also why i named a few audioplayers, all more or less offering the features i am missing in music (for now).

thanks a lot for clarifying, also for the planned update

you are absolutely right, i checked before with my phone in openstore, but obviously it was not to be

is there reasons to it? it is only displayed in desktop browser.

there existed a thread listing all kinds of essential software missed / wished to be ported over to ut, which i am unable to find atm. here is a few suggestions, i would find quite usefull.

some, though qt based, might be difficult to turn into clickapps - but the terminal & more leightweight tools should be in range, i guess.

cmus terminal player - https://cmus.github.io/ (offers "missing" audioplayer features)
deadbeef (http://ddb2.me/), foobar2000 (http://mobile.foobar2000.com/), music(player) featuring: folderplay, gapless playback, resume on restarts, replaygain
falkon browser - https://www.falkon.org/
htop terminal monitor - http://hisham.hm/htop/
kate editor - https://kate-editor.org/
micro terminal editor - https://micro-editor.github.io/
qtox secure communication - https://qtox.github.io/de.html
ranger terminal filemanager - https://github.com/ranger/ranger
tor-browser - https://www.torproject.org/

@mods: please feel free to append to the initial thread. thanks

like that idea - would be a nice feature to have for audiobooks with long duration in music(player).

thanks for replying.

so there is not that much to do else right now?

i hoped for a way to toggle/deactivate javascript and tweaks in this direction.

@dobey: you are much more into this matter than me and the points you mention seem valid. in the end, this was just a vague idea that came to my mind while thinking of improving privacy and performance a bit further.

i hope further weird ideas are still welcome in this forum

apart from surfing in private mode and installing adblock plugin, do you have any tips for "hardening" morph browser?

@dobey said in tmpfs for ~/.cache?:

Well, tmpfs is just a RAM disk. So anything you put in a tmpfs mount, will take up space in RAM

true, but it should also be mentioned that space is allocated dynamically, no data = zero disk space. the whole idea behind a tmpfs for /.cache is a further bit of privacy (perhaps security too?), starting off with a clean cache on every reboot.

another benefit could be an increase of speed, ram is faster than any traditional data carrier. after all, this is about mobile phones and not classic desktop enviroments, so it also depends on the device ut is running on, no doubt.

@AppLee

ok, thanks for pointing out.

i was not aware of this situation, i believed that sensible data is stored elswhere (~/.config?) in order to prevent a scenario like this.

under linux, this is actually my setup for years without problems so far.

@guru said in How to hide/show my ID on phone calls?:

To hide the number on next call, dial : #31#

is there any plans for a more permanent solution in the settings menu?

your are right, exactly what i was looking for. hope it gets implemented in a future release
