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:
"You don't know that you need it, but when you use it once then you do"
@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! 🐧
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)
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:
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.
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/
I've just released v0.3.3 of Pygenda - my WIP #Psion-inspired agenda app for keyboard-equipped mobile linux devices. Main change is to move to more modern packaging, which should mean less fiddly installation & less work for me. So in theory a good time to try it out.
Whenever I have to deal with #LinuxMobile on devices that formerly ran android I realize how super simple things like flashing and debugging are on the #Librem5 compared to that.
No odd partition schemes, no super sensitive boot loader that gives up on the first glitch. Just #uboot and if all else fails #jumpdrive.
Now they're announcing some trustworthy 100% private, user-controlled AI thing - that's supposed to be helpful with everyday tasks. I am not hype on AI, but if the promises hold up, that's interesting.
🚀 MarkNote, KDE’s WYSIWYG note-taking app, just released a new update! Enjoy improved note management, enhanced Markdown support, initial sketching features, and more.
I've just released v0.3.2 of Pygenda - my #Psion-inspired agenda app for keyboard-equipped Linux PDAs. If you're not sure what that would look like, here's a video of an earlier version running on my #GeminiPDA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvQqFmlZ6nM
Main changes since the last release:
• An import function, so you can import entries from iCal files.
• Dutch translations - thanks to Heimen Stoffels, a freelance translator: https://github.com/Vistaus
I was able to make Visual Voicemail work on my #LinuxMobile phone (OnePlus 6 running #postmarketOS ) with Iliad Italian operator.
I had to guess the config phone number, I used one that was sending me an SMS on new voicemail and it worked! (VVM was previously enabled on an iPhone) @kop316 did a wonderful job with vvmplayer! it's well documented and was relatively easy to gather the missing pieces.
Bonus: After this MR gets merged, VVM will work out of the box on Iliad https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mobile-broadband-provider-info/-/merge_requests/112
Paging all GLib fans, my colleague @dylanvanassche needs some help debugging a problem that's preventing hardware LED blinking support on #linuxmobile... Help appreciated 🙏
I needed #Rust bindings for an app to interact with #feedbackd to submit #haptic feedback. Here's the generated bindings for libfeedback in case someone else needs it too:
#gmobile 0.2.0 is out 🚀 . This version adds the udev rules and first hwdb entries to mark keys and buttons as not unblanking the screen on press (like volume rockers or menu/back capacitive buttons).
phoc 0.39.0 will make use of this. We moved things into a library rather than phoc itself so other compositors can make use of it too.
