UBports installer to support third-party OSes |
|
The UBports developers have been improving the project's system installer which largely automates the process of getting UBports onto new devices. Along with a number of bug fixes and improvements there are plans to support installing third-party operating systems on the upcoming Volla phones. The project's newsletter explains: Jan has been working on the installer and has responded to and updated 200 issues. Changes in UBports installer 4.20 include improved handling of OEM unlocking, device recognition and error handling. Encrypted partitions issues will now be identified. In addition, some more device specific issues have been addressed. There are also some bug fixes and background libraries have been updated. Quite soon there will be more improvements. The intention is that some packages will download and unpack on the systems. This should also include the download of packages from external sources, not maintained by us. We will also introduce ADB side load. In a collaborative project with Volla, we will arrange that all of the OS options available for Volla phones - Sailfish, UT and Volla OS itself - will be available through the installer." |
