Some details about the topic: As discussed 10th April on our community meeting let’s have a roadmap checkpoint / update. This might well be just a textual update.
Topic: New vendor blobs available from Sony - any timeline of when can we get feedback for those blobs? (i.e. do they fix some/all of the existing 10IV/V problems).
Would be nice to get some infos, how long xa2 will be supported. My only sf-device atm, but i would like to enter the ship again. 5g is a must have, banking APP support would be nice for a daily driver anyway. I cannot join the meeting, thanks for any infos in advance.
Would be also nice to get some info on Mozilla Location Services status and its potential replacement (or other ways to speedup getting location). In my environment it might take up to week to get fix after reboot / GPSInfo restart which is major blocker preventing using C2 as primary device.
What a lot of bullshit. By now you should know that Mozilla Location Services is EOL, and there are no (working) replacements AFAIK.
About your environment error, that is exactly what it is… an environment error of yours.
Hardin said, “That,” replied Hardin, “is the interesting thing. The analysis was the most difficult of the three by all odds. When Holk, after two days of steady work, succeeded in eliminating meaningless statements, vague gibberish, useless qualifications—in short, all the goo and dribble—he found he had nothing left. Everything canceled out. Lord Dorwin, gentlemen, in five days of discussion didn’t say one damned thing, and said it so you never noticed. There are the assurances you had from your precious Empire.”
I approached just yesterday beaconDB maintainer (before I noticed this comment) – maybe that could be our MLS replacement. Frankly, I think that Sailfish community would be good addition to increase coverage of the beaconDB. How do you, Sailfish community, see this? Good or bad option?
Ok microg can switch between providers, but on sfos ?
I know we had mls provider app, so now with mls dead what is the alternative ?
Just installed tower collector btw
Some details about the topic: The AppSupport packages currently provided to Sailfish OS users (at least on the C2) rely on an Android HAL being present in /vendor. Android vendor HALs can be very messy, and the time spent on maintaining compability with them might be better spent on writing upstreamable kernel drivers for the devices. This is hopefully going to become easier with time as more support for major SoC families lands in upstream Linux. Would Jolla be able to provide AppSupport packages for ports that are not based on Android? How much work would that need? I am not asking about AppSupport for community ports, this is a question about the feasibility of an official port without libhybris.
