I gave KDE Plasma Mobile another go. It improved a LOT over the past few months. No crashes yet! It's a lot more stable now. Although not as stable as Phosh.

I like their whole "just copy Android" philosophy. Everything feels familiar and intuitive. I might keep it like this.

Day 4 of attempting to daily drive postmarketOS Linux on a OnePlus 6T:

📶 I felt brave this morning, so I handed over my SIM card to Linux. At first, the phone didn't recognise the card, but the wiki page helped me resolve the problem quickly. I had to increase the config value sim_wait_time and reboot the phone to make it work. Mobile data and receiving texts work flawlessly. I haven't tried sending texts and making calls yet.

⏰ Yesterday, I also used the Clock app to set an alarm to wake up and a timer when cooking, and it actually worked fine, even with the phone locked.

🚈 I also had my train ticket checked today. I was able to present the QR code without any issues.

No manual editing this time, but an automatic postprocessing script using darktable-cli and rudimentary lens corrections. Takes ~30 sec to develop on the phone - about ten times longer than the default script used by Millipixels, but with much better results.

Just switched cellular providers to one that works with my linux phones, so I'm going to be daily driving my librem 5 to see how it stacks up.

My 72 year old mother is in a hospital right now. I had to make and take all sorts of phone calls lately, just to manage things like insurance and care facilities.

It got me thinking about Linux phones. In this current time I couldn't use something like @postmarketOS because even missing a single call can cause huge difficulties and delays right now.

I really hope calls can be made more reliable in the future. 🙏

Gestern habe ich mir #Mobian @mobian mit #Phosh auf mein #Pinephone pro installiert.
Was soll ich sagen? ... Ich bin begeistert!

Gut, die Akkulaufzeit ist sehr klar verbesserungswürdig.
Aber "nur für Entwickler geeignet" ist es definitiv nicht mehr. Für mein Empfinden: es ist eine stabile Beta-qualität.
Kamera, GPS, Rotation, Telefon, SMS, WiFi, Mobile Daten, Karten, ...
Sehr viel besser, als das vorinstallierte Manjaro mit KDE. ...

Als nächstes synchronisierte ich mir Kalender und Kontakte mit meiner Nextcloud. 👍

Was mir aktuell noch ernsthaft fehlt ist ein QR-Code-Scanner (wie z.B. Cobang) und die Batterieoptimierung / eine bessere Batterie.

Das Jahr für ein stabiles #LinuxOnMobile ist nicht mehr weit!

After a few pmbootstrap issues and some help from the @postmarketOS Matrix room, I am now the proud owner of two Linux phones!

I felt like going out with only my Linux OnePlus 6T again. This time with Gnome Mobile. Wish me luck!🐧

Okay, Plan Änderung für die September #linux #challenge .
Ich werde #droidian nutzen, da ich dort ein besseres ökosystem vorfand. #linuxonmobile ist scheinbar noch zu neu denn die Informationsgewinnung ist relativ umständlich.
Ich suche aktuell noch einen Client für #Mastodon und einen für #signal. Zusätzlich fehlt mir noch ein #podcast #client , aber dafür habe ich einen Firefox mit adblocker.
Funktioniert aber erstaunlich gut.

Update for my overlay hacks, in the end I decided to go with gestures using lisgd gesture daemon from

Right edge:
⬅️ Emulate Escape/Alt+F4
⬆️ Rofi with drun/window/web search modes

Bottom edge/corners:
↔️ Switch windows back and forth
↗️ ↖️ Custom quick menu/Keyboard layout switch

The phone is running , mobile distro, you can check out supported devices here - https://droidian.org/ (even camera and fingerprint scanner works on most!)

I don't believe that @postmarketOS or other projects are a replacement to existing or devices just yet.

However, very soon it will be totally viable to leave them in a drawer at home and only use them when really needed.

I think it's not so much about using one device exclusively, I think it's about which device you keep in your pocket on an ordinary day.

Looks like phones with hardware kill-switches running a fully open-source OS will become increasingly popular here! :blobcatfacepalm: 😢

Ja, natürlich kann man von einem #FotoBug sprechen, den #Apple schnellst möglich schließen wird, um seine Kunden vor dem #GAU zu bewahren. ...

Was für ein Käse.
Apple hat wieder einmal bewiesen, dass es sich weder an die eigenen Worte hält (30 Tage Speicherdauer), noch an Gesetze. Apple ist erwiesenermaßen eine #Datenkrake, die einmal erhobene Daten wie einen #Schatz hütet und den Kunden über die Existenz belügt. Das ist ein offener #Vertrauensbruch.

Apple ist #intransparent und #nichtVertrauenswürdig.
Apple ist kein Stück besser als #Microsoft #Google #Meta #Amazon & Co.

Ich bin mal gespannt, welche Fragen das @bsi an Apple richten wird und was aus der #VS_NfD Zertifizierung wird. ...

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.
