Changes:
- Show both Linphone and Baresip setup in add_device_menu() output
- Remove separate menu requirement - both apps shown together
- Change language from "/e/OS-specific" to generic "if Linphone has audio issues"
- Update domain examples from sip.mydomain.com to asterisk.mydomain.com
- Add note that credentials work for other SIP apps (Zoiper, sipnetic)
- Verify no user FQDN hardcoded in script
This provides immediate access to both SIP app configurations when adding
a device, with clear headers distinguishing between the two approaches.
Based on actual user experience configuring Baresip Android app.
Previous instructions were incorrect/incomplete.
KEY CHANGES:
1. Removed /e/OS-specific language:
- Now generic: "Use if Linphone has audio issues"
- Applicable to all privacy ROMs, not just /e/OS
2. Accurate two-step setup process:
- Step 1: Add account with just SIP URI (ext@domain)
- Step 2: Edit account to add auth username, password, proxy
- This matches actual app behavior
3. Critical field corrections:
- Auth Username: JUST extension number (not ext@domain)
- Outbound Proxy: JUST domain (not sip:server:port format)
- Media Encryption: srtp (select from dropdown)
4. No provisioning URL:
- Clarified Baresip doesn't support remote provisioning
- Must configure manually (unlike Linphone)
5. Added top bar icon reference:
- ☰ = Menu, ✓ = Save, ⋮ = Options
- 📞 = Call, 🔊 = Speaker, 🔇 = Mute, ✕ = Hangup
6. Default action clarification:
- May not exist in all Baresip versions
- Provided alternatives: long-press or phone icon
7. Comprehensive troubleshooting:
- Registration failure solutions
- Dialing issues
- Audio problems
- Screen-off audio (rare with Baresip)
8. Extension dialing guidance:
- Method 1: Just the number (101, 202)
- Method 2: Full format (ext@domain) if needed
9. File renamed:
- .conf → .txt for better readability on phones
Output format:
- Detailed step-by-step instructions
- Quick reference summary at end
- Troubleshooting section
- Icon reference guide
This addresses all user-reported configuration issues and provides
accurate, tested setup instructions based on real app usage.
Baresip works significantly better than Linphone on /e/OS for background
audio operation. Adding dedicated provisioning support.
NEW FEATURE: Baresip Config Generator
- Added create_baresip_config() function in Provisioning Manager
- Generates account configuration with full setup instructions
- Provides both config file and manual entry instructions
- Includes /e/OS-specific permission guidance
Key Benefits of Baresip on /e/OS:
- Better background audio handling than Linphone
- Works with screen off without special hacks
- Lightweight and efficient
- Handles /e/OS microphone permissions more reliably
Configuration Generator Creates:
- Account line in baresip format with all parameters
- Manual entry instructions for Baresip app
- Audio settings recommendations (OpenSL ES)
- Default action setup (Call, not Message)
- Extension dialing guidance
- /e/OS permission instructions
Usage:
- Server Settings → Provisioning Manager → Create Baresip Config
- Enter extension, password, display name
- Get config file with complete setup instructions
- Download via HTTP provisioning or copy to phone
Menu Updates:
- Provisioning Manager option 4: Create Baresip Config
- Option numbers renumbered (Status=5, Directory=6, Troubleshoot=7)
This addresses the persistent /e/OS audio issues by providing a better
SIP client alternative that actually works with /e/OS's privacy model.
- Updated header from 'Easy Asterisk v1.23' to 'v0.9.9'
- Updated pjsip.conf comment from v1.23 to v0.9.9
- Removed 'COTURN: Not installed' status line from main menu
- All COTURN references now completely removed from UI
User-visible changes:
- Main menu now correctly shows 'Easy Asterisk v0.9.9'
- Status section only shows Server and Client (no COTURN line)
- pjsip.conf generated with correct version comment
PROBLEM ADDRESSED:
Users with /e/OS (eFoundation OS) experience no audio transmission unless
Linphone app has focus. This is due to /e/OS's strict privacy controls
preventing background microphone access.
CHANGES:
1. Enhanced linphone.xml template:
- Added keep_service_alive=1 for service persistence
- Added start_at_boot=1 for automatic startup
- Added audio section with speaker routing
- Force audio_route_speaker=1 for background operation
- Updated instructions to reference /e/OS troubleshooting
2. New troubleshoot_eos_audio() function:
- Comprehensive 9-step troubleshooting guide
- Linphone app audio settings configuration
- /e/OS privacy settings walkthrough
- Advanced Privacy feature management
- Network permission configuration
- Autostart and battery optimization settings
- XML provisioning verification
- Speaker mode workaround
- Nuclear option: disable privacy features temporarily
- Alternative SIP app suggestions (Zoiper, CSipSimple, Wave)
- Testing methodology
- Technical explanation of the issue
- Community resources and forum links
3. Added menu item in Provisioning Manager:
- Option 6: "Troubleshoot /e/OS Audio Issues"
- Easily accessible from provisioning workflow
TECHNICAL DETAILS:
The issue occurs because /e/OS restricts background microphone access
even with permissions granted. The OS suspends audio capture when apps
lose focus. Workarounds include forcing speaker mode, disabling specific
privacy features, or using alternative SIP clients with better /e/OS
compatibility.
TESTING STEPS:
1. Make call with Linphone in foreground (audio works)
2. Press Home button
3. If audio stops, issue is confirmed
4. Follow troubleshooting guide in order
This addresses privacy-focused Android ROM compatibility issues and
provides users with clear, actionable solutions.
