[MyL5] Received my Librem 5 (Evergreen)

Evolution Data Server is there, it just needs a frontend app that fits the screen

Yes I know, I mean evolution client, which is on a long way to adaptive interface, and that way hasnā€™t even started yet.

Here you go (portraits and landscapes, canā€™t reposition by dragging; scrolling works):

I wonder if K9 for Android could be adapted. Itā€™s based on Thunderbird.

Did you use any learning predictive systems? I would think if your own words made it into the dictionary, it would eventually get better.

Iā€™d rather have the original and avoid separate phone apps. I found no indication that Thunrderbird would be making a new UI anytime soon. Theyā€™d probably need a hefty donation for it.

I donā€™t suppose you tried zooming it with the script (for the little help it would do)?

No. I would imagine that zooming out would be more helpful, though.

Google makes a pretty big donation to Mozilla every year.

No, we use a special spelling to reflect the pronounciation exactly and the grammar is also a bit complicated. I am working together with a linguist to define our language. It is fairly close to Old English especially in Yorkshire - not surprising because it was part of Danelagen (Danelaw) for about 200 years from around year 900 and Danish was spoken there.

In general I am a bit sceptical to automatic spell checking because it could go terribly wrong. I prefer to read what I have been writing once more before sending. That way I can also detect errors in my logic.

However I keep spell checking on when I write English because it has a complex spelling and it is easier to detect kebord errors :slight_smile:

Not sure if want to test it or if itā€™s available outright in the L5 or if you need to do some script magic with wayland.

sudo apt install build-essential ninja-build meson cmake libwayland-dev pkg-config
git clone https://github.com/emersion/wlr-randr
cd wlr-randr
meson build
ninja -C build
sudo cp build/wlr-randr /usr/local/bin

example: wlr-randr --output DSI-1 --scale 1.5

ā€œusage: wlr-randr [optionsā€¦]\nā€
ā€œā€“help\nā€
ā€œā€“output \nā€
" --on\n"
" --off\n"
" --mode|ā€“custom-mode x[@Hz]\n"
" --pos ,\n"
" --transform normal|90|180|270|flipped|flipped-90|flipped-180|flipped-270\n"
" --scale \n";

Thunderbird is powerfully and full of options. Must be hard to modify it to such a small screen.

On Android, I install Simple Calendar from the F-droid store. It works great as a stand-alone.

Or worseā€¦ end up pregnant because you skipped a day of birth control! :crazy_face:

Off topic, but: Why should pregnancy be worse than dying?

Ah, I thought you also meant that predictive system that can learn also didnā€™t work for you. That sounded very surprising.

Hello,

I would be interested to know which carrier you went with and how well the modem works for that network.

Iā€™m going to stay with Sprint and Iā€™m a little concerned about how to ask them for a new SIM chip, in that the only thing I want is 4G LTE cell service for now.

Anyway, Iā€™m very pleased you have your phone, since it means that mine canā€™t be too far away!

Thanks,

Robbie

Sorry for being off-topic. It was just a joke. :tongue:
Not everyone wants or can have offspring!

@JR-Fi @amarok wlr-randr is now packaged for the Librem 5 and available from the repos. No need for build magic.

Iā€™ve tested 2 different AT&T resellers (MVNOs): my regular SIM, which I normally use in the Android, and a Truphone prepaid SIM; they both get good LTE in my house. Right now I have the Truphone SIM in the L5, but I mostly keep the mobile data off and just use my wifi. I havenā€™t even taken the phone out of the house yet! Lol!
As was said earlier, the L5 callerā€™s voice sounds slightly muffled to recipients right now, but that issue is being worked on.

Take it from someone that already made that experience, it can survive on the outside world :wink:
