RCS Messaging Ideas for Ubuntu Touch
-
Hi,
I was doing some thinking about ways to get RCS running on Ubuntu touch and these are some options. I don't speak for anyone on the project just wanted to start a discussion as I have been reading thought the RCS spec from GSMA
-
The messaging app is modified to follow the RCS spec. This is not out of question but I think their might be some certification or contact with the GSMA involved.
-
A new 3rd RCS messaging app could be bought or ported to UT. There are some company's that make these apps one being Wit RCS https://www.wit-software.com/rcs/
-They also sell a on premises RCS equipment from what I see
- The UT messaging app is modified to work with matrix and the android container so a project like this might be able to ran in the background with google messages and waydroid/anbox https://github.com/mautrix/gmessages
-Currently there is only a test RCS app in AOSP so using that instead of google messages would be a challenge
-
-
I also think RCS is one the next "big things" after VoLTE, but in my opinion the only variant that makes sense is 1. (modify existing messaging-app to be capable of RCS).
