Here you can view (and add) things that you feel would be nice to have in Mobian.

Please keep the headers in alphabetical order.

Ready Sources

In addition to Phosh, which is where many of the Mobian core apps come from, there are other current and past mobile Linux distros which can be mined for mobile ready apps. The Nokia N900 ran Maemo5 Linux which was mostly FOSS except for drivers and some core OS packages, much of the FOSS content of the large app repositories is found at https://garage.maemo.org/ with source links. Maemo-Leste is a current rebuild of Maemo5, retaining the original easy to see dark mode UI and correct ratio, on Deuvian targeting similar hardware to Mobian, this project can also be browsed and forked for Mobian purposes both at OS level and apps https://github.com/maemo-leste https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras Maemo uses a very easy scriptable UI for both system and apps. Some OSs like OpenZaurus og the Y2K era are probably so out of date that porting would be too much work, though the apps used were very lightweight and configured for a touch interface.

Applications

Many of the dialogs do not fit on the screen and some (essential) controls are out of reach. It would be nice to be able to pan each dialog, or add scrollbars, or create a larger virtual screen that can be panned so that most existing ported Linux programs can actually be used. Games especially would benefit from gyro motion controls sent as joystick movement or a daemon with GUI which appears to the system as a joystick.

Instant messaging

The Nokia N900 uses a customized UI for Pidgin it is also easily configured in Debian Gnome desktop pannel, it is a a plugin based instant messenger framework. Pidgin provided the N900's IM services; it was bundled into the system UI, it uses standard libpurple to provide an API for easy plugin development as well as support ofr Bonjour, Jabber, GoogleTalk, IRC, and other IM networks, the Bonjour support permits auto-configuration and joining between clients on a LAN simplifying apps like HeySMS a phone SMS to desktop machine IM chat bridge found in this wiki page. Integration of the multimedia player into status can show what is playing for fun, the navigation system can have integration to provide or read from other users location as IM status or from a message to help two users meet up or locate a common destination. The N900 included SMS as simply another kind of messaging and used the same UI for IM and SMS. Pidgin has a plugin for Telepathy https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/GSoC2009/TelepathyPrpl

Maps and routing

A simple script and launcher eventually with UI to grab the current location coordinates and send it to clipboard or pop options to share it to the input of various communication app(chat, SMS, etc) APIs to send your location 'pin' if possible with an option to send to Android or iOS devices too as well as looking for APIs in navigation apps to import or scrape the received GPS coordinates as sent by various apps from various OSs including Mobian and other pinephone OSs apps. A simple UI app to display hall sensor reading as angle off of level and compass would be useful to many, options to point to Mecca, Jerusalem, or other points for religious users may be useful to some users, giving headings off of compass to selected locations would be useful for other people.
