Aquaris X5 (Longcheer L8910) is a smartphone released by BQ in 2015. As part of msm8916-mainline project, this series aims to bring initial mainline support for it.Good to see another phone being supported. Can I ask you to cc: phone-devel@vger.kernel.org with phone stuff?quoted
Features added: - SDHCI (internal and external storage) - USB Device Mode - UART - Regulators - WiFi/BT - Volume buttons - Vibrator - Touchkeys backlight - Accelerometer and gyroscope sensor - Magnetometer sensorHow close are you to having useful phone calls?
You can do phone calls (with audio) and you can use mobile data, if you have the patches for that. :) I'm trying to find time to finish up the drivers needed for that, but I've been a bit short on time lately. Actually we have come pretty far with MSM8916-based smartphones. Most functionality is (somewhat) working at this point, the primary open task is optimizing suspend/power consumption. Battery/charging and camera is also tricky but works somewhat on some of the devices. Most of the functionality is packaged in postmarketOS [1] and you can find a list of the devices in the postmarketOS wiki [2]. Especially the ones in the "community" category are quite similar in terms of working functionality.
