This week in development (week 52 2024)
-
Hi all,
I'd like to start posting weekly development updates here on the forums - this is a bit of an experiment, so please let me know if you find these updates useful and what could be improved. The goal is to provide a high-level overview of our development progress.
This past week focused heavily on Noble development, with rapid changes to the image. I'm pleased to report that the latest daily build should have all hardware features working, including GPS, calling, sound, fingerprint reader, NFC, and more. We've also fixed several indicator bugs, making the 24.04 base system quite usable.
Currently, we're missing 24.04 built clicks, which is why some core apps aren't starting yet. While most of them build and run fine, we're waiting for some clickable changes to enable compilation. There are also some pending tasks related to accounts and push services, plus likely a few bugs to address.
Please test out 24.04 and report any bugs you find! Your feedback helps us improve the system.

@mariogrip Good to hear that 24.04 will see a lot of improvements. Could you please tell us when it is going to be launched?
-
@mariogrip I think in this stage of develpment of 24.04 it's very interesting to know, what's going on from week to week, especially when it's evolving so fast, like you said.
I've installed it on a Rephone/Volla22 since a few weeks and I've observed, that the OSK is not coming up in some apps (e.g. Morph, messaging-app).
But for now it's running very well

System parameters / update / dev channel ? Not tried 24.04 yet.
-
@domubpkm What do you mean with system parameters? I've done a fresh install via UBports installer but there's only one "channel" for 24.04 AKA "utnext", as @peat_psuwit told in another thread (but system-settings says "16.04 daily", funny
).
When your Volla22 is your only phone, then stay on 20.04 until noble is ready, because for now it's not nearly ready for daily use. -

I mean that
Ok, the installer.
But indeed, I don't want to juggle between channels and do this if it destabilizes my daily use volla 22. -

@mariogrip is there a way I can start working on porting my device to it if it's not in the installer?

Is this is only about 24.04 or OS (see my signature to have a clue of my wonder ^^ ) ?
And yes, I bet it will interest lot of people whatever the subject is. -
Just here to say that weekly development updates would be very welcome.
