@hirnsushi, I don’t expect it to “magically” be implemented, nor whatever else such rude phrasal insinuates. I believe that you rather unnecessarily underestimate my quite normal common sense and instead consider me severely socially inept without good rationale to.
The developers have indeed demonstrated that this is of no interest currently, solely due to lack of manpower as you state, yet were not bothered by me attempting to implement this myself nor merely request for them to. The summary response of the most active developer of that thread stated such.
Let’s remain courteous, not for the sake of my fragile ego, but merely for the obvious advantages gained by it.
I have no intention of starting a fight, I mostly wanted to temper your expectations since I don’t see any indication of this happening any time soon.
But, I actually do consider the wording pushing for something in the context of FOSS software to be a bit rude, since you are often dealing with people who are doing it in their free time.
I’ve had a look at the issue before and it didn’t come out that way on GitLab, that’s just how I read that sentence you posted here.
I genuinely would encourage you to tackle this yourself if you need it, but you might want to think about LOS and bundled GApps as the better starting point. Several people on this forum have already tried similar things in the past and probably would welcome any help they can get.
Yeah, you’re correct, @hirnsushi. It’s not a bad suggestion, provided the current lacklustre state of official OS support by Fairphone. Thanks for it.
Has LOS been “officially” (I realize that support is ultimately provided by what appear to be random people that are merely wonderful enough to maintain it for a certain device, so “official” is a somewhat useless designation) provided for the FP4? Somebody posted last year a definitely unofficial and unmaintained fork with basic hardware support, but I’ve heard no more than that.
(I’ve been doing Basic Training for a while, so I haven’t had time to catch up. I suppose that that explains why I was being combative. …That was all just so I could use that pun, I must admit, ‘though I’m not lying.)
