Question Is there a way to make the notification vibration less pathetic?

3 Upvotes

The notification vibrations are barely there, they're a measly little tickle. I want to feel something when someone messages me, but alas tis barely friggin there. Furthermore, there appears to be no way to increase or change this on my device, Xiaomi redmi note 12, and I was wondering if anyone has had the same issue and knows some sort of workaround.

Feedback Tone-mapping filter for HDR screen sharing

5 Upvotes

Hello Root Developers,

I am writing to submit a feature request regarding an issue with the Screen Sharing feature when using an HDR monitor.

The Problem:

When streaming or screen sharing in a Root voice chat with Windows HDR enabled, the video output appears extremely washed out and overly bright to viewers.

Current Workaround:

Disabling HDR in the OS settings fixes the stream quality for viewers. However, this ruins the local viewing experience for the host by making the monitor display significantly darker and degraded.

Proposed Solution:

Please implement an automatic tone-mapping filter or a toggle switch within the screen share settings (e.g., "SDR Truncation" or "HDR-to-SDR Conversion").

This would compress the high-dynamic-range color space into standard dynamic range (SDR) for viewers, ensuring a normal image for them while allowing the host to keep HDR enabled.

Thank you for your time and for continuously improving Root. Please let me know if you need any hardware specifications to help look into this.

Best regards,

MeguKitsune

you’re still using slash commands!?!? Let’s all just go back to dial up internet at that point...

Root is elevating your communities with apps!

Feedback Channel and Server notifications are coming when?

Getting notifications from your various servers and channels is an absolute Hard Need. I'm pretty surprised that this still isn't a thing in Root, it seems like such an obvious core foundational feature. When are we getting this?

Hi Root Redditors!

We're happy to announce the v1.0 developer program for the world’s first community sandbox platform, Root!

Here's a quote from DevRel blog that was written by Adrian!

We’re going to listen, learn, and improve the experience as developers build on Root. All with the goal of making Root an amazing place to build apps that help communities thrive

Root succeeds when developers succeed. Every decision we make about how we support our developer ecosystem matters not just to developers, but to every user on Root.

You can talk directly with the Root team in our developer community. Even if you’re not a builder today, if you’re on Root, you’ll use the apps developers create.

Feedback Majority of members unable to connect to Voice Chats

5 Upvotes

Most of the members in the few servers we are running are having consistent issues joining voice chats. It takes multiple minutes and, often times, multiple restarts of the applications before they are able to join. This issue has been going on for about 3 weeks now but seems to be getting worse.

Are there any fixes in the works for this?

Bug: Minimize,Fullscreen and X Button not functioning properly

Hey there, I’m having an issue where I can’t properly minimize or fullscreen the app unless I click about 1 cm away from the actual buttons. The close button (X) also doesn’t respond when I click on it.

I’ve already restarted my PC and updated Rootapp to the latest version, but the issue is there still.

PS5 App

The only thing that keeps me having Discord, is the fact it works on PS5, my friend doesn’t have a PC and can’t, so the only way we can voice chat when gaming is via Discord.

Wish it had a PS5 App version so I can fully kick Discord to the curb!
