Gnome Contacts Calling

You are lucky – my button are identical generic icons. I’m always hitting the wrong one!

Did you choose to do that?

There you go… edited the post above.

How did that happen?

Also, how did you get the dark theme applied? GNOME Tweaks has no effect with this app.

I’m not sure how it happened. It was right when I received the phone almost a year ago and for months after. Probably an update, but I update almost every day but only use Contacts to call a couple of times a month.

The dark theme from some advice received on the forum about months ago. I really wish that I had taken notes of the tweaks I’ve made… I will pay for that after I flash Crimson. :roll_eyes:

Well with a little bit of digging through your posts, I found the answer:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Adwaita-dark"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme "prefer-dark"

If you want to reflash your Librem 5, I can provide instructions for either Byzantium or Crimson if desired.

I appreciate that. I’m just waiting for Crimson GA.

GA? Grand Arrival? GNOME Advanced? GNU Awesome?

That works well, but my old IBM OS2 habits persist – General Availability.

Here are a few other ideas I thought about:

  1. Turn off and on your Librem 5 and see if the phone icon shows up.
  2. Press the area where the phone icon is supposed to be and see if something happens.

Georgia, Atlanta. :joy:

I’m going to dust off my Librem 5 today and try this issue on Contacs app

@FranklyFlawless , you can provide instructions for flashing to Crimson? how stable has it been running? Are their pretty frequent updates?

Okay, let us know if your Contacts app is any different from ours using librem5-goodies.

Sure, the rest of the questions I do not have answers to. However, I suggest that you do not use Crimson for anything important, and that you externally backup your files beforehand. Currently, Crimson images are only built using Jenkins on Evergreen with the plain variant.

  1. Flash a PureOS 10.3 image on a USB drive, then boot it.
  2. Install git, then follow these steps up until you have finished installing the udev rules.
  3. Download the librem5r4.img.xz from landing and u-boot-librem5.imx from mainline, then extract librem5r4.img.xz using Archive Manager to the root of librem5-flash-image. Move u-boot-librem5.imx into the root of the same directory as well.
  4. Execute this code, then follow the subsequent steps thereafter:
./scripts/librem5-flash-image --skip-download --dir ./

What happens with Contacts after updating PureOS?

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

I did that before i tried Contacts, so i guess that @ASwyD2 need to Purge Contacts then Reboot then Reinstall to may fix it.
