Ceci est une ancienne révision du document !
This release polishes up this stage of Ubuntu Touch development, and includes many small fixes that should please all users. It also contains some hardware compatibility improvements for the Nexus 5, Fairphone 2, and Oneplus One!
You can find a full changelog for this release in the changelog section below [https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-blog-1/post/ubuntu-touch-ota-10-release-239#changelog].
Hardware compatibility
Thanks to Ratchanan, we have some excellent hardware updates.
To start, Fairphone 2 users will be happy to know that we've implemented proper checking for Android's reported camera orientation. This means that we are able to work with all of the Fairphone 2 camera revisions successfully. No more upside-down selfies!
During implementation, we found that some of our older devices had incorrect data presented by Android. Knowing this, we added a manual override system to the automatic checks. This was done in a modular way so that any porters who run into this issue in the future will be able to solve the problem.
These fixes also helped with the Nexus 5 and Oneplus One. Any problems with audio and video sync when recording videos have been fixed! Now any videos recorded with either camera on these devices will be in-sync.
We also fixed some issues with the Fairphone 2's audio routing. Prior to these fixes, the left and right audio channels were swapped in some configurations.
Location, down to the screws
Sometimes you need to tear something down to build it up better.
We have removed the “wolfpack” Wi-Fi based geolocation tool from this update. This module used the Geoclue service to gather approximate location data. That resulted in a very fast location lock in some cases, but a very inaccurate lock in others. Removing the module improves the reliability of the location service in almost all cases.
With this module removed, some users will experience a very long delay (20 minutes or more) in retrieving the first location fix on their device. This should only occur if the device is not connected to a mobile network and location services have not been used for a very long time. After this delay has passed, future attempts to retrieve a cold (first time each boot) location lock will take up to four minutes. To help users make the best use of Ubuntu Touch location services and to help avoid this problem, we have written a guide Using location services and have added it to our documentation pages.
And more!
The default Messaging app, used for SMS and MMS messaging, now supports draft messages. Pasting of phone numbers in the “To:” field and an issue with the header randomly switching between your contact's name and phone number were fixed.
Libertine, the legacy application manager, now allows you to search for packages in the archive and select one to install from a list.
The PulseAudio modules enabling basic sound on Android 7.1 devices have been added. A mini SurfaceFlinger implementation has been added to enable the camera on some Android 7.1 devices.
