Script to get MMS(!)

[sundog]

I've written a program to get -- though not send -- MMS. In addition, it's an easy way to clear out your modem to receive SMS (to fix https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues/-/issues/89 and similar issues)

The code is inelegant in a lot of places, so its name reflects that: it's called Janky MMS. My hope is that soon we won't need Janky MMS because we'll have real MMS support on the Pinephone by default (fingers crossed!).

I've been using and developing it for 2 months now on a phone that's my daily driver, and although the implementation is slightly janky, it works great. And socially it's been a lifesaver to be able to get photos and group messages again! ?️

Please enjoy. Code, more details, and install instructions are here:

(Disclaimer: this is software I trust my own data and daily driver phone to, but I can take absolutely no responsibility for anything bad that might happen. No warranty or fitness for purpose implied, etc etc.)

Nice! I'll see about giving this a spin on manjaro tomorrow and report back - thanks for putting this together!
