Ubuntu Touch
Over the past month we have made great progress in terms of stability. Updates of the operating system are now available via the developer and soon via the release OTA channel. For example, a bug in the memory management was fixed and the power management was improved. Many more details were implemented by the Volla team with volunteer beta testers and developers. New is also the possibility to exchange files with a connected PC or Mac.
We are currently working on remaining development topics for a release candidate, including
Extension of the camera function to include zooming.
Switching from photo to video camera without freezing. The problem, occurs when the aspect ratio of the image sections is different.
Support of telephony with a Bluetooth headset.
On the platform for open source software Github you can see the progress and open topics.
Sailfish OS
In parallel there is also progress of the Sailfish OS Community Port. From the community we have the statement that it has already become a daily companion on the Volla phone. At the moment we are preparing to make Sailfish OS available via the Ubports installer for the Volla Phone for later installation. We say thank you to Adam Pigg and all further contributors.
Dual Boot
Last but not least the community project is progressing, with which the Volla Phone can start a second operating system via SD card, ideal for trying out another operating system or strictly separating data for work and occupation.
The solution allows to install the dual boot loader via app, format an SD card and install Ubuntu Touch. The developer is currently testing the installation of Sailfish OS. We say thank you to the developer Luka and further contributors like „nift4".
