So far you had to pull out #phosh's top and bottom bar quiet a bit to make it unfold. That's kind of o.k. on 📱 like the #Librem5 or #PinePhone but can be cumbersome on larger phones like the #OnePlus6T or tablets like the #Librem11. I've put out an MR for #phoc which adds a fling #gesture so you can also fold/unfold with a fast swipe. Here's a short video demoing this for different screen sizes:
Lol my bad!
Spotifyd and spotify-player... I set them up drunk... But you need an API and your user name and password... In some dot files... Somewhere 🫠
Edit - spotify-player w/ all the add-ons... The default one doesn't have all the neat things but it's im aur

@Lioh talks in a very nice @gnulinux podcast episode about her experience of running a tiling window manager with SXMO on the Pocophone F1 and using it as full featured, hackable, real Linux computer in pocket format! 🐧
As a reminder: #wireplumber is the session manager and therefore the "brain" of #PipeWire. The later is intentionally kept simple, not handling anything policy related.
The version has one fix I'm particular happy about:
Fixed camera device deduplication logic when the same device is available
through both V4L2 and libcamera, and the libcamera one groups multiple V4L2
devices together.
We fixed the map and added a small screen mode making it more usable on small screens such as #linuxmobile phones (even though that is still not really a supported use case)
@lewiscowles1986@stu I don't think it's a good idea to disclose the price I got it for, but I did pay for it and I did not pay full price, I'll say that.
Needed? Hmm, most folks don't have a fan for it... But for me, I see good improvements on the battery and obviously heat. Keeps it around 120 F (49 C) vs 150F (66 C) + without the fan
#SailfishOS#Gecko dev diary Day 250. Simplifying the code by removing and combining methods, so that the offscreen rendering patch is brought down to a manageable size to help with future maintenance.
Just got back from the local #tdose conference. I might have gone a bit overboard in preparing some #sxmo material to go in style. Fellow mobile linux project #ubports had a nice stand and #nlnet had lots of stickers to share, including a #postmarketos one.
Exciting @williamtries ! Good luck on this journey. GNOME on phones is only suitable for adventurous people for now, but you seem to know your way around 👏
Somehow i wish @frameworkcomputer would create a mobile phone with full mainline Linux support like the #Librem5 aims to.
Like with current hardware.
They should also would fund development of the ecosystem (OS/apps/etc.).
We need a second player in the market and i think #FrameWork has a better network and reputation than purism.
#Pine64 is not it, because they release and forget about their products, sadly.
There's finally a mobile data quick setting in Phosh (will be part of 0.40.0). Not everybody needs it so you can enable/disable it via Mobile Settings:
#SailfishOS#Gecko dev diary Day 246. Finally the Firefox yields its rendering riches! Some fantastic illustrations to accompany the words today, to celebrate the fact offscreen rendering is finally working. With thanks to thigg for the images and thanks to #gecko for finally doing what you're supposed to!
My fellow fedizens, i have done it.
I have applied #BitRitter to https://nlnet.nl/propose/ in the category "Open Call". Well at least 2 features i want to implement.
Wish me luck.
If you have an awesome Mobile FOSS Project, maybe you want to apply too? Deadline is 2024-06-01 so this friday. Application process took me about half an hour, so that's doable.
@chfkch That is great to hear! And happy to learn that the application process did not take you a lot of time. That is precisely what we hope: not to waste anyone's time.
I don't think I've ever compiled the kernel as often on a single day as I have today, but my Mobian port to the Pixel 3a / 3a XL is making progress.
My device-specific kerrnel repo is working, though I still need to find the right place for some kernel config stuff. if compiled as is, touch won't work. But I can manually copy the ".config" from pmOS to the repo and do "make olddefconfig" and then everything works nicely.
#SailfishOS#Gecko dev diary Day 244. Comparing the OnFirstPaint()/patch 0044 differences to better understand how TransactionIds are handled and ultimately bring the changes into line for ESR 91.
@crft That depends on the UI. On Phosh (with the default squeekboard keyboard), hit the >_ key (if you don't see it, make sure to switch to Terminal layout by hitting the globe key) and find in the bottom left. On other UIs, things are different.
Want to configure which hardware buttons unblank the screen of your 📱 with #phosh? Here's how (and submitting your changes upstream will fix it for others too): https://phosh.mobi/posts/wakeup-keys/
It's been a while since we gave an update on the #postmarketOS#systemd integration, so here's an update post (and instructions on how to get involved).
Gnome Search on a smartphone is a killer feature. You can do so much useful stuff and customize everything to your liking.
