Ngemva kweminyaka emine nengxenye kusukela kokugcina, kwembulwa inguqulo yesine yephrojekthi ye-Replicant 6, ukuthuthukisa inguqulo evuleke ngokuphelele yenkundla ye-Android, engenazo izingxenye zobunikazi kanye namashayeli okuphathelene.
Igatsha Eliphindaphindayo 6 isekelwe kusisekelo sekhodi ye-LineageOS 13, yona esekelwe ku-Android 6. Uma iqhathaniswa ne-firmware yasekuqaleni, i-Replicant ithathe indawo yengxenye enkulu yezingxenye zobunikazi, okuhlanganisa abashayeli bevidiyo, i-firmware kanambambili ye-Wi-Fi, imitapo yolwazi yokusebenza nge-GPS, ikhampasi, ikhamera yewebhu, isixhumi esibonakalayo somsakazo, nemodemu. Ukwakhiwa okulungiselelwe amadivayisi angu-9 ahlanganisa i-Samsung Galaxy S2/S3, i-Galaxy Note, i-Galaxy Nexus ne-Galaxy Tab 2.
Amanoveli amakhulu we-Replicant 6
Kule nguqulo entsha eyethulwa, i isicelo sokushaya nokwamukela izingcingo, silungise inkinga ngokugcina idatha ebucayi, okubangele ukuthi ulwazi olumayelana namakholi angenayo naphumayo luputshuke ngenxa yokuqinisekiswa kwenombolo yocingo ku-WhitePages, Google kanye nezinsiza ze-OpenCnam.
Isicelo ukusebenza ikhathalogi I-F-Droid ikhishiwe ekwakhiweni, njengoba izinhlelo eziningi ezinikezwa kule khathalogi zihlukile ezidingweni zeFree Software Foundation zokusatshalaliswa kwamahhala ngokuphelele.
Okunye kuyashintsha lokho wengeze umbhalo ukuze ukhubaze ngokuphelele imodemu. Ngaphambilini, lapho ushintshela kumodi yendiza, imodemu ishintshelwe kumodi yamandla aphansi, engazange ivalwe ngokuphelele, futhi i-firmware yokuphathelene efakwe kwimodemu yaqhubeka nokusebenza. Enguqulweni entsha, ukukhubaza imodemu kuvimbela ukulayishwa kwesistimu yokusebenza kumodemu.
Kwezinye izinguquko okugqamile:
- Kukhishwe i-Ambient SDK engakhululekile efakwe ku-LineageOS 13.
Izinkinga ezilungisiwe ngokubonwa kwekhadi le-SIM. - Ikhonjwe futhi yasuswa i-firmware kanambambili ehlobene nokusebenza kwezinkinobho "emuva" kanye "nekhaya" (izinkinobho zigcine ukusebenza kwazo ngisho nangaphandle kwale firmware).
- Kukhishwe i-firmware yesikrini esithintwayo se-Galaxy Note 8.0 ebingenayo ikhodi yomthombo.
- Esikhundleni se-RepWiFi, ama-patches asetshenziselwa ukuphatha ukuxhumana okungenantambo, okukuvumela ukuthi usebenzise imenyu evamile ye-Android enama-adaptha angaphandle angenawaya.
- Kungezwe usekelo lwama-adaptha e-Ethernet.
Kwengezwe imibhalo yokumisa inethiwekhi ngokusekelwe kumadivayisi e-USB. - Ukwesekwa okwengeziwe kwama-adaptha e-USB asekelwe ku-chip e-Ralink rt2500 asebenza ngaphandle kokulanda i-firmware.
- Ukunikezwa kwe-OpenGL ezinhlelweni zokusebenza kusebenzisa i-rasterizer yesofthiwe ye-llvmpipe ngokuzenzakalelayo. Ezingxenyeni zesistimu ze-graphical interface, kuvunyelwe ukudweba nge-libagl.
- Kwengezwe imibhalo yokushintsha phakathi kokusetshenziswa kwe-OpenGL.
- Kwengezwe imibhalo yokwenza kube lula ukwakha i-Replicant kusuka emthonjeni.
Kwengezwe umyalo wokusula ukuze usule ama-partitions kwisitoreji.
Ngaso leso sikhathi, isimo sokuthuthukiswa kwegatsha le-Replicant 11 sashicilelwa, ngokusekelwe kuplathifomu ye-Android 11 (LineageOS 18) futhi ithunyelwe nge-Linux kernel evamile (i-vanilla kernel, hhayi i-Android). Inguqulo entsha kulindeleke ukuthi inikeze ukusekelwa kwamadivayisi alandelayo: I-Samsung Galaxy SIII (i9300), i-Galaxy Note II (N7100), i-Galaxy SIII 4G (I9305), ne-Galaxy Note II 4G (N7105).
Kungenzeka lokho ukwakha kulungiselelwe amanye amadivaysi ahambisana ne-Linux kernel okujwayelekile futhi okuhlangabezana nezimfuneko zokuphindaphinda (amadivayisi kufanele anikeze ukuhlukaniswa kwemodemu futhi eze nebhethri elishintshwayo ukuze kuqinisekiswe umsebenzisi ukuthi ngemva kokunqamula ibhethri, idivayisi izovula ngempela).
Amadivayisi ahambisana ne-Linux kernel kodwa angahlangabezani nezimfuneko zokuphindaphinda angashintshwa ukuze asebenze nabathanda i-Replicant futhi anikezwe njengezakhiwo ezingekho emthethweni.
Izidingo eziyinhloko ze-Free Software Foundation zokusabalalisa mahhala ngokuphelele yilezi:
- Ukufakwa kukhithi yokusabalalisa isofthiwe namalayisensi agunyazwe yi-FSF.
- Ukungavunyelwa kokunikezwa kwe-firmware kanambambili (i-firmware) nanoma yiziphi izingxenye kanambambili zamashayeli.
- Ungazamukeli izingxenye ezisebenzayo ezingaguquleki, kodwa ithuba lokufaka lezo ezingasebenzi, ngaphansi kwemvume yokukopisha nokusabalalisa ngezinjongo zezohwebo nezingezona ezohwebo (ngokwesibonelo, amamephu e-CC BY-ND omdlalo we-GPL).
- Ukungavunyelwa kokusebenzisa amabhrendi izimo zawo zokusetshenziswa ezivimbela ukukopishwa kwamahhala nokusabalalisa kwawo wonke noma ingxenye yekhithi yokusabalalisa.
- Ukuhambisana nokuhlanzeka kwamadokhumenti anelayisensi, ukungavunyelwa kwamadokhumenti ancoma ukufakwa kwesofthiwe yobunikazi ukuze kuxazululwe izinkinga ezithile.
Okokugcina uma unentshisekelo yokwazi kabanzi ngakho, ungabheka i- imininingwane kusixhumanisi esilandelayo.
