Ubuntu Messaging App is the official SMS app for Ubuntu Touch. We follow an open source model where the code is available to anyone to branch and hack on.
Messaging app relies on history-service as the database backend, telepathy-ofono for message relay.
history-service database is stored in /home/phablet/.local/share/history-service/history.sqlite
Install clickable, then run:
clickable
For faster build speeds, building app tests is disabled in clickable.json
Some dependencies need to be installed by running:
crossbuilder inst-foreign dh-translations apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu
The app then can be build by simply running:
crossbuilder
See crossbuilder on github for details.
