MuditaOS K - My suggestions after 2-3 weeks playing with my Kompakt

Hi all, sorry for my english. It’s not my main language.
I’m the proud owner of 2 Mudita Kompakt N.A. Edition (for my kid and me). After playing with it for 2-3 weeks. I have some questions and suggestions. I am from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I did the setup the two phone in french. Since we are french Canadian.
The first thing I had issue with, was to select the french qwerty keyboard layout since the phone system language if French (France). I had to add another layout which was french azerty to be able to get the correct keyboard layout in SMS. I don’t know why, but it finally worked. But sometimes when writing a MMS/SMS I cannot get the accent on a e I o u like = é ê è à ô…weird :man_shrugging:
Now for my suggestions
1.
a. It would be great to be able to sync or import caldav, hotmail, gmail or import .ICS Calendar. I have a very huge schedule with our activities, appointment and my son’s baseball games to enter those one by one (a must have for me)
b. I would also like the possibility to enter new event in the calendar for repeated task example : I have notification to pay my house loan each 4 weeks. Pay day is each 2 weeks, car loan is each month. (a must have for me)
2. For the music application, to be able at a minimum to sort my music by Title, Artist or Album and have the shuffle option (a must have for me). It’s really a pain to go through 1934 songs sorted automatically by Song Title (it’s not fun)
3. To be able to send/receive a mms or sms to and from a group of contact. Right now, I don’t get anything from the the group of contact that I was in before switching phone. Parents sometime ask for me to get the kids for baseball practice or game. (had to go back to my old phone, waiting for an update soon)
4. To be able to have more than 5 alarms (looks crazy but I have many activities at different time)
That’s it for now. My kid and I, are really happy about our phone and the peace of mind that it brings. I installed all my apps on our android tablet at home to keep our phone clean.

Many thanks!

Welcome @thenotman !
I have no idea about the language and calendar bit, but I’m fairly positive most of your other issues are planning on being addressed in an update scheduled for July as many other people share the same opinion as you. I think the calendar is part of the update but that one I’m less sure about.

The first four issues will be addressed in the July update.

I’m Quebecer and I had the same issues with the default keyboard. I suggest you to sideload the app Gboard. With Gboard app, you will be able to set the French (Canada) (QWERTY) keyboard.
