inkOS v0.2 UPDATE - Text Based Launcher with Notifications

@purejoy2408 Thank you so much! Of course, I’m making a pack of wallpapers and will be sharing it soon in github and will link it here. When I get some time I’ll make a detailed blog post or something to show some ideas how to customize home.

@buiosu Thank you! I love Poland so I’m happy to accept the citizenship

So, I wanted to share my new setup :slight_smile: *Updated version, thanks to @gezimos

Ever since I saw your flower frame, I was fascinated with the idea of customization! Very simple, yet very elegant. This, plus the battery percentage actually made the phone more than perfect for my need (plus sideloaded cyrillic aplhabet).
P.S. I saw a similar image in a book that I was reading the other day and played around with AI to clear the center of the image, so it fits like a frame :slight_smile:
Thanks for the awsome work!

P.P.S I thought of another cool idea for the more fantasy orientated people out there - the gates to Moria are a perfect match for a frame wallpaper… I am a bit busy (and it takes me several hours of back and forth with the AI to make the required picture), but if someone wants to take a crack at it I will upload a random image for illustration :slight_smile:

Great update, thank you so much for adding this. Really like the added flexibility. Now I have a nice Zen-inspired Launcher with my own handwriting! I also like being able to turn on backlight in the dark with one tap. Don’t need it often, but good to have it accessible.

Thank you for the update, it’s my first time trying out InkOS unfortunately I can’t seem to get push notifications working for Proton Mail. I’ve enabled push notifications and added the app to both home and notification window allowlists. I receive push emails when the app is open and I am viewing the inbox, but i don’t get anything when viewing the InkOS home page. Any ideas welcome. Thanks again

@astratev Great idea!
@tilmanbergt That is a very cool setup, I like the font :slight_smile:

@GilbertPaterson That’s a ProtonMail issue, its push notifications don’t work without GooglePlayServices. It would only show notifications/new emails when app is opened.

inkOS only shows you notifications it can see (that are in the system, but hidden by Mudita) it can’t interact with the apps themselves so there is nothing I can help with that.

I’ve had better luck with k9mail (thunderbird) & gmail. I didn’t test k9mail with ProtonMail though so I’m not sure it will show notifications.

Hi Gezimos, many thanks for getting back to me and letting me know about the issue with proton mail, I’ll definitely give k9mail a go. All the best

I just want to report that my frame just disappeared. I put my phone in my pocket, went out to do some work and an hour later when I unlocked the phone the framed picture was gone.
I did try to restart inkOS, but nothing happened and when I went into the options I saw that Home frame was cleared and I had to set it up again.

Probably not a “bug” per se, but still maybe important to report.

No this is very important, thanks for letting me know. I’ll do some testing and see if it happens to me. Thanks for the feedback

@The Ahh sorry I didn’t know what you meant.

adb push ‘/Users/gezimos/Downloads/fontname.ttf’ /sdcard/Download/
replace the path with the path of your font

What OS do you use ?

Windows at the moment. I have Linux as well at home

@The I think in Windows, Kompakt appears as a removable device in MyComputer. There you should be able to put the ttf font in the download folder.

Or just use the adb command
