Feedback for v3.4

/e/OS Smartphone Operating System Build Feedback

I have installed Tasks.org. You are right, it does not work properly with the /e/OS Account Manager. I think that the Tasks.org app does not recognize the Account Manager because it has a different package name.

As a workaround, you can directly configure CalDAV in the Tasks.org app. See https://tasks.org/docs/sync_caldav:

  1. Install the Tasks.org app
  2. (Optional) In the /e/OS Account Manager, go to “Settings” > Scroll down to “Integration” > Switch from Tasks.org to OpenTasks again (not sure whether that makes any difference if the OpenTasks app does not work)
  3. Open the Tasks.org app and select the option to add a CalDAV account
    • You may have to tap the Settings symbol in the upper right corner to find the “Add account” option
  4. Enter the necessary credentials
    • User
      • For Murena: Your Murena email address
      • For general NextCloud: Your NextCloud account name
    • Password: I strongly suggest to create an app password, see e.g. How to enable Two Factor Authentication (2FA) 🔑. You should then disallow the file access for this app password, it should not be necessary to sync tasks.
    • URL: It is sufficient to enter the domain, you do not have to add a path
      • For Murena: https://murena.io
      • For general NextCloud: URL of your NextCloud instance
    • Server type: NextCloud
  5. Save by tapping the “Save” (floppy disk) icon in the upper left corner

It should then synchronize your tasks.

Some observations:

  • Synchronization is done every hour in the background, see Synchronization | Tasks.org. I have not found an option yet to change this. I will see whether this really has an impact on the battery life.
  • If asked, grant the necessary permissions to the app, e.g. for notifications.
  • You can enable Markdown support in the settings > “Look and Feel”. Markdown is enabled by default in the /e/OS Tasks app.
  • You can group your tasks by list: In the tasks overview, tap on the button with the “arrow up - arrow down” where you can also configure sorting etc.
  • The Tasks.org properly supports subtasks and many other customization options.

It should be noted that OpenTasks, on which the /e/OS Tasks app is based, seems not to be developed any longer. According to the /e/OS GitLab, the /e/OS developers have done an update so that the Tasks app is compatible with Android 16, but there seems to be a bug.
I think that @Manoj will report it in the GitLab feedback ticket for /e/OS 3.4 that is created after a couple of days.
