Ubuntu Touch progress on VoLTE and 5g (lemmy.ca)

“Marius showed videos of both voLTE and 5g running on UT devices during Q&A 138. A big step forward but not fully resolved yet. We are now using the proprietary Sailfish ofono binder pluging for voLTE and more work and testing is needed. Of the two by way of a sort of happy accident 5g should be available first, and has been tested on FP5 and 4 but should in theory work on Android 9 and above devices. Both of the videos show these running on qualcomm but thanks to Nikita they are also on meditek.

This has been a long journey with many false paths but things are really close now.

We will obviously keep you all updated on progress and testing opportunities as they arise.and become available. Marius should be putting instructions on how to install the 5G ppa on the forum before everything is merged upstream for those who wish to give it a try.”

Finally! This is a massive barrier that will be knocked down for the community. Expect to see more layman interest in the project soon. I personally want VoLTE the most as I have a pixel 3.

That's huge!! It's such a fundamental part of the future of the project, and such a gigantic task. Amazing to see it's working out.

So hopefully soon we can have RCS implemented so we can have the texting and calling nailed down.

Am I just missing it, or has his instructions not been posted?
