It feels terrible to give them 3% of the turnover for such a horrible website with more bugs than features. But in the end Kickstarter takes 5%... Peter 2015-12-15 15:38 GMT+01:00 Boris Rybalkin: > Right, feel free to register you app request on > https://github.com/cyberb/uapps as an issue with

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [idea] how to get popular apps from other mobile markets

Valid points. Though, in general, I guess doing Kickstarter projects for cool apps is not wrong as such. Anyone can do this as long as there are open resources available for the implementation (which is certainly not the case for Viber, for example; their server is out of our control, and they

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Google Calendar Syenc

I can confirm that this is not working at all on my Aquaris E5, OTA-8. It doesn't show neither my primary Google calendar nor my other, included calendars that showed up normally on Android and iOS (e.g. calendars from family members using other Google accounts that I have included, so they show

[Ubuntu-phone] Unity app indicators and convergence

Hi all, I have the need for a utility that saves the state of all open windows on the desktop, so that when I attach or detach one or more external monitors all application windows are restored in size and position the way they were last time that specific monitor setting was active. There is a

[Ubuntu-phone] Spying features in Ubuntu

I've accidentally come across a Richard Stallman interview on Ubuntu. He's mainly concerned about the spying feature of Ubuntu's dash when you do a search on your device. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP8CNp-vksc Is it planned to remove this spying feature? If not, are there plans to make it

[Ubuntu-phone] Convergence (current status for bq devices)

I have difficulties finding out the current status of convergence. There have been a few videos and photos around on YouTube, Google+, OMG!Ubuntu, Ubuntu Wiki, but I've found no official roadmap or release date for an Ubuntu Touch release with convergence features enabled in general (on any

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Circle on the lock-screen

"No songs played today" is a tellingly example. It should maybe be more of a "Now playing: ...", maybe even with limited music player controls. I think a feature like that on the lock screen is just "normal" on literally every popular smartphone platform. Is something like that on the roadmap /

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Suggestion about translations / additional small release for strings after OTA

(just a comment) ... the same is true about changes to source code, be it bug fixes or added features. What is the process here in detail? User facing components could update also in between releases, given the idea that such changes typically don't entail incompatibilities (read: "API

[Ubuntu-phone] SIP phone, VoIP telephony integrated in Ubuntu Touch?

I've been looking for a decent, working SIP softphone for Ubuntu in the last 24 hours or more. During my research I figured that Liblinphone [1] is actually a library that could easily be integrated into a phone core app for VoIP/SIP phone calls. Some other user has asked for this before on

[Ubuntu-phone] Stock web browser can't handle Basic Auth

Hi there, is it possible that the web browser on my bq E5 (r5) can't handle Basic Auth? There is no prompt dialog popping up, instead Apache's usual "Authorization Required" page (on my server) or a similar page (e.g. on https://pypi.python.org) is shown. Should I file a bug report? (Where?)
