The L5 has no homescreen with widgets, and I needed a speeddial button to reach my wife, this is how I achieved it. First, place your contacts image (for the icon) somewhere (I did a 128x128 JPG):
Now, the quickdial button should pop up among your app list. Long-press it and āadd to favoriteā (this makes it appear in the top lines of all apps).
Make sure the phonenumber format is exactly the same as stored in your contacts if you want to see the contactās name in the call screen and the call history screen.
In any case, next time I go shopping and forgot what to buy, my spouse is a single button press away!
These are kinds of how-toās that make life easier, and everybody gets to make their phone more unique. Nice!
That could be altered to become an ICE (In Case of Emergency) contact - also with a couple of lines added that try to also send a location via text (if wanted, if switches allow, and as location is made possible in the future).
This is awesome! It should be a standard function of the L5; maybe a āshortcut creatorā could be integrated into the librem5-goodies package at some pointā¦?
Edit: I mean āshortcut creatorā for those functions that canāt be made with a web app or simply moved to the favorite apps section, of course. A good example: Shortcut to Trash.
Not the first time I heard this, people complaining that their spouse is annoying them, constantly nagging and consuming resources. You might find there is no easy fix for it.
err, that one certainly does not come from a quick-dial button which is nothing but a .desktop file, that is a shortcut to launch an application. My spouse is also running, but never in my L5.
It does actually, the āUsageā app shows the name and icon of my quick-dial button. Cannot be anything else. I cannot even get rid of it (her?), If I kill the process it restart immediately.
Hey, you own a L5, you are brave by definition! (You might call me reckless for running byzantium) Ok, there we have a potential difference, although I could not think of a reason for that to make a differenceā¦
