UBports improves MMS and Google account support |
|
The UBports team have been making a lot of progress on their mobile operating system. Some of the key changes include being able to re-download media from text messages, and synchronizing information with Google accounts has been fixed. "MMS patches have finally been applied. Josele and Lionel Duboeuf are thanked for their work on that. This will allow operation of a re-download, try again button when an MMS comes in and fails to download correctly. That was a complicated process to manage, involving many different components, which needed to operate together.
There has been some work done on mediahub client. This is the main mechanism for video and audio playback. Alberto has changed the media client library for it so that it is fully implemented in Qt and C++. In the future it will allow for simultaneous playback of videos. An obvious application for that would be in TELEports, where in a channel containing a lot of videos, they could auto play as you scroll. There are several more steps needed for implementation of a feature like that but what has been done provides the foundation.
Sensorfw for Android 9 has been included now. It now covers magnetometer and compass. It has already been established that it works with Waydroid. Microphone access has been incorporated into the browser. The permissions dialog has been implemented, allowing it to function.
Google accounts have been restored, allowing sync of contacts and calendar." These and other improvements are detailed in the project's blog post. |
