@tcecyk Yes i have -

Aegis doesnt allow me to import my DUO mobile account on another phone. Just like other attempts with this application and DUO mobile, when trying to scan the QR code, it states that its not the correct QR code. Believe that the QR code that it wants is the one that I was first given - aka from the computer / account side.

I have transferred my DUO Mobile account across devices but mainly only if the “I have existing accounts” function works since its backed up to Google Drive. On /e/, it just fails.

I have ran adb logcat while doing this but the output is outside of my scope. Would like to learn more about this, and I really like /e/, i just use it as a daily driver…yet

Feature Request: Sensors In Advanced Privacy

I would love to be able to enable/disable sensors using Advanced Privacy system-wide (light, proximity, temperature, Magnetic flux, et al).

If you login the AppLounge you can choose to “only show pwa and open source apps” (where open source apps are fetched from F-droid)

are you can just install F-droid and not use App Lounge.

Needs FM radio hardware in devices, which increasingly is not there anymore.

Fm will soon disappear in europe. Radio will become dab

Yeah, older people remember this statement well, it has been around for a while :slight_smile: .

It is already the case in Norway.

BTW: (I have a Panasonic DR49, but with LW.) Also MW and LW are nearly dead now. Can happen that I don’t find a single station on the entire MW anymore and perhaps there’s only one french station on the entire LW. SW has still about 5% of what it was in the 80ies. During the day you’ll find about one single station in the 49m band but it can also be completely quiet. The higher bands (16m, 13m, 11m) are even more dead.

FM signal will be cut by end of 2024 in Switzerland. In France it seems that both DAB+ and FM will be available for a while.

Just to clarify … I don’t have much doubt it will happen, but the “soon” in which FM will supposedly disappear turned out to be a long-time running gag. I wonder whether the not so new DAB-capable radios in my household will still live to see the day in Germany :slight_smile: .

Yes, I do understand the long-term gag :slightly_smiling_face:
In some countries, things are changing now. I cannot listen FM French radios in switzerland because signal is poor now. The only way is Internet radio. Such a shame :frowning_face:

I also remember first talks about dab in Finland, now it seems dab will never happen in here. It’s just not worth the investment at small country with small population. It will be FM radio + online radio ( radioplayer.fi ) in here.

  • an updater that has a better bar and less bugs
  • Bluetooth keyboard without virtual keyboard working
  • default apps that can be removed
  • improve the easy installer that can skip steps
  • charging level when phone off
  • no :warning: on the side of apps such as Signal when notifications are out
  • an home app that doesn’t bug
254

I think you can just turn this off by going into the (/e/OS) Settings → Notifications → Notification dot on app icon (uncheck this). Either you can set this for each app separately.

I can use a BT keyboard (and a mouse, and a screen) with my FP4 with eOS.

Thanks for your work to begin.

My Xiaomi Mi 9T has much much problem with the Android WebView that’s crashing all time.

-Please implement Mulch WebView or another alternative WebView in the e-build. At the same time that solve my issue, it de-google a little more the OS.

Best regards

Seconding this call for an option to have Mulch System Webview in an updatable form installed, along with Mull as the default browser, also updatable from F-droid (I tried doing it myself, but it didn’t work out). I just want reasonably hardened browser components that can be updated independently of /e/OS OTA updates. As it stands, I can’t even Disable the Bromite fork calling itself “Browser”, and of course it can’t be deleted.

The “Music” app is lacking a search feature, so it isn’t suitable for my music collection. Simple Music Player is a pretty reasonable replacement, for me, and at least I can Disable “Music”. I think I prefer “Music”'s interface slightly, though.

Does this method fail for Browser?

Aha, thanks. No, that technique works fine to disable-user or uninstall the browser (or their reverse operations). I chose

$ adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 foundation.e.browser
Success
$ adb shell cmd package install-existing foundation.e.browser
Package foundation.e.browser installed for user: 0

Android Auto!
There is a aa4mg magisk module which has some stubs to fool Android Auto to think that the Google apps are installed.
Unfortunately rooting isn’t an option for me so I can’t use it.
