Love the new #postmarketOS wallpaper!

Upgraded all of my working arm64 #postmarketOS devices to the latest #phosh #systemd edge! Also wrote a small script to do all my preferred app installs and some configurations (my custom squeekboard layout, autostart TouchpadEmulator, set default scaling to 200%) to make reinstalling less painful.

@nprofile…cz30 One other minor nitpick I have is that the keyboard toggle at the bottom of the screen seems much harder to hit reliably in landscape orientation than in portrait. This is consistent across every device I've tested on (OnePlus 6/6T, PinePhone/Pro, Xiaomi Poco F1/Pad 5 Pro, Google Pixel 3a). It's more noticeable at smaller screen scaling, but it's noticeable to a degree even at high scaling.

@nprofile…cz30 As far as Phosh specific features, it pretty much covers my use case of "put Linux apps on a small touchscreen" well, though I use a modified Squeekboard layout and my Touchpad Emulator tool for the option of a mouse cursor for navigating desktop apps and coding.
One small thing I did notice after putting pmOS on a OnePlus 6 (not 6T) is that it would be nice if Phosh's notification system could set the notification LED to red/green based on charging/charged state like Android does.

@nprofile…cz30 I don't use it as my primary phone, but I regularly use #Phosh on #postmarketOS edge on:
* OnePlus 6T
* OnePlus 6
* Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro
I have several other devices but those are the ones I use most often, and I use them fairly regularly for browsing, coding, terminal stuff, file management, and more. I have a SIM card in the 6T and carry it along with another OnePlus 6 with Android that I mostly use just for phone (calls, texts, some apps without Linux equivalents) and camera.

My Touchpad Emulator project is now in the #AlpineLinux testing repository! My merge request got merged this morning and I was able to install it on my #postmarketOS edge devices! The package name is touchpad-emulator. It turns the touchscreen into a trackpad style mouse to make desktop UIs easier to use on a touch-only mobile device.

Success! I've installed a new battery in my #OnePlus 6 running #postmarketOS. Old battery capacity reported around 0.5Ah, new battery out of the box reports 2.96Ah and was around 50% charged, so letting it charge up now. Used a hair dryer to weaken the adhesive and @nprofile…3v0z suction cup and picks to get the back off. After removing the back, swapping the battery is quite simple.

I've submitted a merge request for the Powersupply changes shown here, though I want to do some cleanup before it's ready to merge.

Trying to calibrate my OnePlus 6 and 6T batteries on #postmarketOS. I noticed my OP6T has had worse and worse battery life lately and my "new" OP6 has even worse. Added charge monitoring display to the Powersupply app and have been doing charge/discharge cycles. The phones go from 100 down to 0 and pmOS shuts down, but if I power back on a few times the power tracking resets to 100% and continues running a while longer. Doing compile jobs pulls ~6W which makes for a decent discharge load.

This is the main reason I wanted a OnePlus 6 for #postmarketOS when I already have been using a OnePlus 6T for years now.
Surprisingly good audio output for driving my ATH-M50X headphones.

Wow! The QR code scanning verification feature of the Fractal Matrix client JUST WORKS on OnePlus 6T on #postmarketOS! It verified the OnePlus 6's login. Didn't even need to use focus control, just focused by moving the phone closer.

My new OnePlus 6 came today! It was sold as "open box, like new" and it is in immaculate condition! It's also the 128GB Flash, 8GB RAM variant. Excited to get #postmarketOS on it and this time trying the u-boot and generic sdm845 method.
Got this one as the other OP6 I ordered I ended up keeping Android on, it's only 64GB/6GB and has noticeable OLED burn.

Nexus 5 (lg-hammerhead) joins the group again after reflashing #postmarketOS on it. I set all these up to make sure #TouchpadEmulator autostart works with screen rotation on all of them. I released a new version with minor changes to get this working and updated my Alpine merge request.

Tried the #OnePlus 6T camera in #OBS and it works! Cannot select resolution and the default is pretty small and zoomed in, but frame rate is smooth. Might be another way to record video with #postmarketOS!
Front camera is still very purple. Unfortunately, having two Pipewire sources active simultaneously (to see both cameras at once) does not seem to work. They both just freeze.

Tested the latest #GNOME #Snapshot on #postmarketOS on my #PINE64 #PinePhonePro! It's been a while since I revisited the PinePhonePro but with cameras and camera utilities coming a long way on newer devices I wanted to revisit #libcamera on the PinePhones. I installed @nprofile…s8vt's cameractrl and it successfully controls focus, but the PPP camera seems to have autoexposure that reduces the utility of cameractrl's exposure slider. Anyways, here's a picture of some other postmarketOS devices.

I'm impressed with the #GNOME #Snapshot app. Built in QR code scanner is fast and detected even blurry codes. The stock #OnePlus 6/6T camera app on Android doesn't scan codes at all. This was a big lacking area in #LinuxMobile as QR codes are everywhere and everyone expects you to be able to scan them but #postmarketOS was unable to do so until the recent camera bringup, at least for the OnePlus 6T.

Got the camera actuator on my #OnePlus 6T to focus with the help of @nprofile…s8vt and poking i2c registers with i2cset. It looks like the actuator on my camera needs an enable register set.

and
.var/app/io.gitlab.librewolf-community/config/librewolf to .config/librewolf
then going into about:profiles in native LibreWolf and selecting the correct profile. Also turned on media.webrtc.camera.allow-pipewire in about:config and now cameras work on #OnePlus 6T!

Working on an improvement to @nprofile…k58s's Supersonik music player/Subsonic client for #LinuxMobile. I'm adding support for automatic album artwork fetching from Last.fm, a feature I had in my old CalcTunes Android app. I got the file handling cleaned up so Last.fm images are cached in the app's .local folder and loaded when the Subsonic server itself has no art for a given album. Turned a blank white page into something nice to look at!
Some of these are from the server, some from Last.fm!

The main developer of the xiaomi-elish #postmarketOS port, Jianhua Lu, asked me to test a note taking app called rnote with the Xiaomi pen now that it is working. I'm happy to report that yes, the pen works great! I really like this app and will definitely be using it more in the future as a replacement to the note taking Android app the tablet originally shipped with. Only issue is the pen buttons currenty act as page up and page down rather than as pen buttons, but that's how the pen works.

Also, I noticed that the OnePlus 6T kernel (linux-postmarketos-qcom-sdm845) does not have CONFIG_HID_PLAYSTATION enabled. I've seen complaints that DualShock 4 controllers didn't work and I just bought a GameSir X2S Bluetooth phone grip controller that mimics a DS4. It pairs just fine, btmon shows controller data is coming in, but no input device gets registered. It works on my PC (Arch Linux) and dmesg shows the "playstation" driver is responsible.

I've updated my postmarketOS Steam wiki page:

https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Steam_in_FEX
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Steam_in_box86
I've tested both setups on my OnePlus 6T, but have not tested many games on box86/box64 yet.

While not exactly the same, remember that what is happening with #CrowdStrike could also easily happen with kernel level #anticheat software. Giving proprietary software vendors permission to insert whatever they please into your kernel, especially with the ability to auto update it, means giving up all control of your system to that software vendor. One day CrowdStrike, the next Riot Vanguard. Don't let this garbage into your system! A game is not worth losing your system or your data over.

Got a Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro so that I could install #postmarketOS! This thing feels like a legit ARM64 PC! USB host mode is working and I have a keyboard and mouse hooked up. Tried some FOSS games (supertuxkart and minetest) and they run nicely especially with a 120Hz display. Unfortunately the stylus does not work yet but I'd like to investigate that further.

@npub198t…hasj Yeah, other than Droidian I am not aware of a good supported phone camera on mobile Linux. I am daily driving a OnePlus 6 (stock Android) and OnePlus 6T (postmarketOS) pair as pmOS runs great on the OP6T (way faster than the PPP and way better battery life) but lacks usable phone and camera support. I use the Android OP6 for calls, texts, and camera but the OP6T for most everything else. I got a cheap second SIM for the OP6T for data.

@npub198t…hasj Do you need said camera to work now? The OnePlus6/6T camera is quite good but it's not supported on Linux yet. The PinePhone and Librem 5 cameras are working and the PinePhone Pro camera seems to be getting better but I still haven't had much success in actually taking a good picture with it. Maybe look into a phone that supports Droidian? It uses the vendor kernel and Android blobs, but apparently has working camera on better hardware than what mainline currently supports.

@npub1tvq…l6jk Hopefully this driver fixes the long standing issue of horrifically bad screen tearing and frame pacing when using an NVIDIA GPU in render offload configuration in an Optimus laptop with an AMD CPU and a VRR display. I don't know if it's a common issue, but games are basically unplayable on my laptop due to the major frame pacing issues with frames seemingly displayed out of order at times resulting in jittering/shaking. Thankfully this issue does not happen with NVK.

@npub1nqp…w9sy I have a cheap second SIM in my 6T but don't use it as my main phone because call audio has some major issues. VoLTE isn't implemented yet so the only way to get calls working is to manually fall back to 2G service. Now they're going to shut down the 2G networks so this workaround won't last much longer. When calls do work the earpiece also has an issue where it stops working so you can't hear the other person. LTE data and SMS are flawless though.

@npub1tvq…l6jk I installed it last night on my laptop and have been going through my Steam library trying a bunch of games. It's a very impressive driver! Performance isn't always the best but for a brand new driver it's working very well, and doesn't have the weird screen tearing issues with PRIME that the official driver does that renders it almost unusable in many situations.

Just had a thought...the OnePlus 6/6T have a physical switch used for silent/vibrate/ring in Android that is unused on mobile Linux. I want to use it to select between mouse, touchscreen, and onscreen keyboard modes. My TouchPad Emulator program allows using the touchscreen as a mouse but I use the volume keys to switch modes. Using this physical switch would be more convenient and now I want to test it. Anyone know if this switch is readable in postmarketOS?

@npub16ur…mx4u On my 6T I have to force 2G mode for calls to work because VoLTE isn't working yet. If I do set it to 2G, the first call is always reliable but subsequent calls usually have no earpiece audio. I bought the 6T because that was available on ebay at the time but went back and got the 6 for headphone when one showed up. Decided to keep it Android for now and have a reliable phone with VoLTE. Mint Mobile SIM and plan was cheap.

@npub16ur…mx4u I daily drove mine for a year or more but the audio issues were a problem throughout many of the early months.

Drove people crazy. Switched to a OnePlus 6T with pmOS but that had audio issues too so now I have it as well as a OnePlus 6 with Android, both with SIM cards.

@npub1tvq…l6jk I loved OW1, it was a fantastic game with a very fair payment model. Game cost $40 but you could unlock cosmetics by simply playing. You could buy lootboxes to speed up the process.
Then they axed OW1 and replaced it with OW2, made it free to play, and took away most of the abilities to unlock free stuff. Something that was quite fair to the consumer that I had paid for became something very anti-consumer. The PVE was a gigantic bait and switch as well.

Idea - what if PinePhone keyboard case, but for any phone?
I would like to use my OnePlus 6T more over the PinePhone Pro if they fix the call audio (because it's faster and uses a lot less power) but I love the keyboard case.
How about a keyboard case with 3D printed (flexible TPU?) top half section that acts as a slip on case for any existing phone, then the keyboard part contains a USB-C dock with battery bank. Could have USB type A and HDMI/DP ports available too.

Decided to throw $100 each to #Debian, #ArchLinux, and #FreeDesktop. These projects embrace the spirit of free and open source and they're all projects I've used extensively over the years. Support the FOSS players that actually embrace the spirit of FOSS...not RedHat.
I saw @npub18hd…kf64 donated to Debian and decided to do the same. The FOSS world can exist just fine without major corporate players like Red Hat and RHEL.

@npub1tvq…l6jk I tried running Linux on mine. Unfortunately it does not boot from microSD so you can't install an OS to the card. I booted it from USB instead and WiFi doesn't currently work. I want to eventually get a bigger SSD to put Linux on but I'm not done with my reverse engineering on the Windows side yet. Other than WiFi, the rest of the hardware seems well supported at least.

@npub1tvq…l6jk This looks incredible, will definitely be getting one of these and maybe attempting another RGB mod, this time hopefully finding a more reliable source of power.

@npub15nn…sdr0 Still have my original two! I preordered one on the day the preorders went live in 2012! It's currently acting as a print server for a printer I never use and I always forget it's still on the network. Probably should go run updates on it...

My dad and I made a new @npub15nn…sdr0 model railroad camera car today! This time we added an SG-90 micro servo for complete control over the camera! Controlled using ServoBlaster, uploading a video of it in action now!

@npub1tvq…l6jk Windows 11 is trash, but the hardware looks great. I ended up preordering one because I want to get it supported in #OpenRGB and then try out some form of SteamOS UI Linux on it. Love the Steam Deck and plan to keep using mine, but the specs here are impressive and it has RGB.
