Hello everybody! Here comes another testing release of the Goldelico Android/Replicant 4.2 distribution. This new image is mostly a bugfix release for the 2015.06 image, where the GTA04 A4 hardware routing for voice calls was introduced but had some problems with the microphone (on GTA04 side).
Today's image addresses this problem by introducing a new libaudio-ril-interface.so library, which does the PCM handling of the microphone on GTA04 A4. It also handles the software voice routing, if hwrouting is not available (i.e. on GTA04 A3). This swrouting functionally has previously lived in libhayes-ril.so and has been refactored into libaudio-ril-interface.so, which seems to be the proper place for it to be. On the feature side, this image includes working DTMF (i.e. for controlling you voice mail), which needed some quirks on the GTA04, due to a broken AT+VTS command in our Option modem module. The testing snapshot contains some known bugs: SMS messages are not always immediately received and connecting to the cellular network was reported to be broken my a few users. These problems need further investigation, if you observe those or other problems on your device please report them to this mailinglist or the issue tracker and try to isolate the problem, so we can fix them ASAP! If you appreciate what you see here, I'd like to kindly ask you to consider making a donation to the GTA04 project. The GTA04 project is run by Goldelico, who is sponsoring my work on this project.
