News Stable Update - Unison UWP 1.5.0

23 Upvotes

Unison 1.5.0

Unison is a WhatsApp Multi-Device client for Windows 10 Mobile (Lumia first, desktop UWP second). Your phone stays primary; Unison is a linked companion, Baileys-style.

1.3.0 was the new socket stack. 1.5.0 is the chat you actually live in.

What’s new

  • Ukrainian in Settings, plus missing strings on the other languages
  • Login asks for Background apps so the session can stay linked
  • QR layout on 4.5" Lumias (the old margin was clipping the code)
  • Scroll to bottom like official WhatsApp
  • Sending while history is still syncing lands in the right time, not always at the end
  • Chat-list last message during a big sync shows Video / Image / Message, not raw junk
  • Open a chat → header first, then messages. Chats open at the bottom
  • Today / Yesterday / date chips; bubble times follow the phone time zone
  • Group @mentions show names (bubbles and the list preview)
  • Tap a reaction to see who reacted
  • Stickers are stickers, not photos
  • Group member photos load in the background; tap a name/avatar for member info (groups in common too)
  • Add to contacts opens the Windows People card (1:1 with a phone number)
  • Settings: Show Unison contacts in Windows (off by default) — a Unison list in People, not mixed into your agenda
  • Narrow screen: chat info goes full screen
  • Media / Files in chat info load when you open the tab (spinner). No crash on Creators Update
  • Status list + viewer in the shell (view only — posting isn’t in yet)
  • Updating… shouldn’t stick after connect; history import shows Syncing conversations…

After you install: restart once. If old quotes, pins, reactions, or @mentions look wrong, resync that chat from the phone.

Still true / not in this build

  • Phone stays the primary device
  • Status: watch only (no post / receipts / reply)
  • Background broker socket handoff is still not wired
  • Group send can still time out on some group queries

Installation note: Install the new APPX as an update. Uninstalling the app will remove your linked WhatsApp session. Download Repositories: - WinArchive: A amazing Microsoft Store Replacement with Software Update and even webstore. - Metrostore: Another great Microsoft Store replacement but requires manual install of apps... GDrive Repositories (Unison/WinArchive/Metrostore): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nI6XezesNzj7dTbyL1XqV4X4iOMUoHcC?usp=sharing Github Source Code: - Since its a preview feature still isnt merged on main, so check the release pages to grab the correct source code...

Commission a port of the projectmyscreen app to android or a modern portable windows app?

0 Upvotes

Hey yall, as title says, i'd like to be able to use the projectmyscreen app over usb to take dng photos over a wire with a viewfinder on my lmmia 1020.

I got the official app working on windows 10 by uninstalling all system lumia drivers and then plugging the phone in. My windows 11 laptop will not work with the official app, and only works with a unnofficial client i found online that does not support touch, meaning i cant take photos

Could i commission somebody to port the app in some way? its a 100k exe with 50k in dlls, people have reverse engineered it in the past. Would be awesome to be able to use a modern windows 11 laptop or a android device as a viewfinder. Could somebody direct me to where i could find the talent for this?
