I'll release a new version of the images with functional hardware-accelerated video decoding & partial camera support (no videos, no flash) soon.

EDIT: New version now available here: https://forums.ubports.com/post/14061

I'd also like to know how many have tried the images on their device. May I ask you to raise your hands quickly?

@chriswyatt when unplugging headphones during a call it switches the output to speakerphones. Generally the headset detection is something I'd like to fix next.

Calling now works (with caveats). For the time being you need a test version of telepathy-ofono on your device to enable calling:

sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_haliumfixup

I've prepared a new image to test with working Audio.

Same installation instructions apply, you need halium-install to flash the current rootfs.

@dtarrant I can test with other equipment next time. I agree my audio quality could be better.

Firefox might work in Libertine but Firefox there doesn't support a touch-friendly UI whereas Morph is fully convergent (works in both touch and desktop modes).

@chriswyatt a software tester with the skills to build an image alone is highly appreciated I'll update the thread in case of new developments.
