Beta support: MMS on chatty/mmsd on Modem Manager - help/testing wanted!

[Rey]

These are the steps I used to install and test on Manjaro

This image of Manjaro was used:
Manjaro-ARM-phosh-pinephone-dev-20210110.img

1. ssh into phone and update all packages

Code:

sudo pacman -Syu
reboot
sudo pacman -S automake autoconf gcc pkg-config make
reboot

2. Download ModemManager (Read the README to install and more info)

Code:

wget https://source.puri.sm/kop316/mmsd/-/archive/ModemManager/mmsd-ModemManager.tar.gz
tar zxvf mmsd-ModemManager.tar.gz
cd mmsd-ModemManager
autoupdate
./bootstrap-configure --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-mode
make
./src/mmsd -n -d 'src/*'
ctrl-c
cd ../

By running the mmsd once it creates our config file

3. Download purple-mm-sms

Code:

wget https://source.puri.sm/kop316/purple-mm-sms/-/archive/mmsd/purple-mm-sms-mmsd.tar.gz
tar zxvf purple-mm-sms-mmsd.tar.gz
cd purple-mm-sms-mmsd/
make
sudo make install
cd ../

4. Edit the ModemManager file for your carriers info

Code:

cd mmsd-ModemManager
vi ../.mms/modemmanager/ModemManagerSettings

5. Start ModemManager in debug mode

Code:

./src/mmsd -n -d 'src/*'

A few good 'mmcli' commands to help you check the modem:
mmcli --scan-modems (May not give results just errors out)
mmcli --list-modems <-- This will give a dbus path and the number at the end is your modem
i.e. /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/4 <----
mmcli --modem=4  <--At the bottom of tthis command will give you your bearer number
i.e. dbus path: /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Bearer/4
mmcli --modem=4 --bearer=4

Hope that helps the next person and thank you kop316 for all of the work you put in to further the cause
