Repository roundup

droidmedia, Android media wrapper library, b100dian is working on allowing edge-mode and noise reduction with the Camera 2 API. He noticed that the parameters received from gst-droid were sent while no image was ready and resent later with some missing parameters. simonschmeisser found another failling string to real conversion due to locale dependant code. He proposed to create a README file to explain how to build and develop the package, and also to standardise the formatting of the code (and ensure it at commits) using Clang formatter.
gst-droid, plugin for GStreamer allowing to use hardware accelerated codecs, simonschmeisser proposed to use a real value instead of an integer to be sent to the droid camera code.
libsdl, a multimedia library, mal replaced a patch with the upstream fix.

nemo-qml-plugin-email, QML bindings for emails, dcaliste fixed a bug creating duplicated files on attachment download. The change also allows to save the attachments directly in ~/Downloads/ instead of putting them in a complex tree structure.
mobile-broadband-provider-info, the database of access point configurations, ruditimmermans corrected the APN of Orange network in Belgium. He also proposed to correct the MNC and the APN for Mobile Vikings in Belgium.
kf5bluezqt, the KDE framework handling Bluetooth, pvuorela removed two patches creating locking issues on Xperia 1 II for instance. The patches were introduced earlier to fix an issue with file transfer but it seems that they are not needed anymore and were now creating more harm than solving issue.
libconnman-qt, QML bindings for the connection manager, LaakkonenJussi removed non usefull debug messages and proposed to update the default route only when there are some changes in the service cache. iceaway proposed to implement the MoveBefore / MoveAfter methods.

usb-moded, the USB tracking daemon, jmlich noticed some issue with the DBus interface and after discussing possible solutions with mal, Thaodan, spiiroin and pvuorela, annotations of out parameters were changed to use org.qtproject.QtDBus.QtTypeName.OutX instead of org.qtproject.QtDBus.QtTypeName.InX. Then, spiiroin regenerated the XML configuration files.
sensorfw, sensor framework, spiiroin modified the hybris adaptor to use pipes and io-watch for transferring sensor events from worker thread to mainloop context. It can prevent crashes happening when the worker thread is touching concurrently code from the main loop. This pull request also contains changes from mal to support Android sensor device API 1.0 in the hybris adaptor.

libglibutil, a library extending GLib with convenient utilities, slava added a function, gutil_idle_pool_get_default(), making usage of GUtilIdlePool simpler in multi-threaded environments. slava also modified this class with two commits, one treating NULL parameter as the default pool and another returning the value as pushed to the pool.
scratchbox2, the cross-compilation tool used by the SDK, Thaodan fixed an invocation of ldconfig in sb2 command where the path for the cache was erroneously prefixed with the root directory substitution.
libcontentaction, a library for associating content with actions, pvuorela fixed a unit test failing since shared-mime-info capitalised its strings.
nemo-qml-plugin-filemanager, QML bindings for file management, pvuorela fixed a unit test failing because shared-mime-info renamed application/x-bzip to application/x-bzip2.
osc, the command line interface to work with OBS (the Open Build Service), nephros proposed to use busybox compatible commands for completion. Following Thaodan's advice, he also proposed it to openSUSE.
