The fleet is growing! I received a Poco F1 as a present from @linmob at , and as other Snapdragon 845 devices, the difference in usability from its predecessors is insane and it is the first device I felt comfortable bringing around as a daily driver today.

I took a long break from articles (almost exactly one year) due to many reasons, but I will be back to writing soon, and I was happy to hear your feedback this weekend!

NEW:

(Technically, this is a modified mirror, since Codeberg does not support forking non-Codeberg git repos)

I'll try to keep changes in sync between my Mobile-Friendly-Firefox and my mobile-config-firefox repos.

My Linux phone roundup for @darkreading is finally live! I don't know why I was surprised how easy it was to adjust to the PinePhone. Note that I haven't added it to my phone plan or anything - it's just a mini-computer like my main phone is 95% percent of the time. #DarkReading #LinuxPhones https://www.darkreading.com/endpoint-security/smartphones-avoid-android-ios

Major Update:

  • Added to install and uninstall scripts

    • Support for Librewolf, Mullvad, and Tor browsers

I have not tested Mobile-Friendly-Firefox with these browsers yet, as I am waiting for official arm64 releases before installing them onto my Librem 5. While I think that everything should work, anyone can share issues here on the fediverse, on my Mobile-Friendly-Firefox repo, or on my forum thread. I'll try to check all three from time to time so I don't miss anything.


Minor Update:

  • Added to install and uninstall scripts

    • Support for Librewolf flatpak

I have tested and confirmed that it works perfectly.

Major Update:

My Codeberg repo: Mobile-Friendly-Firefox

  • Added automated install and uninstall scripts
  • Updated several files

Happy Holidays!

I have made a repo for my code on Codeberg:

Mobile-Friendly-Firefox

I plan to create a few branches for the postmarketOS mobile-config-firefox repo for styles to consider merging.

Time to let the cat out of the bag.

I've been working on a new app to use your phones and tablets as secondary wireless "side displays" (not mirrors). This is based on , x264, APIs, and low-latency UDP streaming, and will be designed to work on both ARM and Intel, regardless of hardware acceleration support. (Testing on a )

This is still at an early stage, and will take some time to become usable. Thoughts and feedback?

Video showing a Dell XPS on the left and a Purism Librem 5 on its right. We can see the cursor opening the MirrorHall app on both devices, connecting between them through a dialog, and then using the Librem phone as a wireless display for the laptop.

Using my SonyXperiaIII with for six months as sole phone now. Native and Android apps are working fine. as everyday devices are possible.

October 2023 Halloween Update:

Just in time for Halloween! Dress up the Firefox app on your Librem 5 to look like Firefox for Android!

Mobile-Friendly Firefox Customizations for Librem 5

  • Added userContent.css (fenix) to fix Firefox about pages to be better fit for Librem 5 as well as a color theme to match Firefox for Android, code-named Fenix.
  • Added fenix_colors.css for a color theme to match Firefox for Android, (Fenix). If you do not want the Private Browsing Mode theme for the URL Bar and Nav Bar, comment out that section of code at the bottom of the file.
  • Added fenix.css as an alternative to true_mobile_mode.css that more closely resembles Firefox for Android (Fenix).
  • Added extensions_menu.css to fix the Unified Extensions Menu.
  • Added dynamic_popups.css and several variations so that extensions expand into a big enough popup which also supports horizontal scrolling. Works best with true_mobile_mode.css or fenix.css.
  • Added alt-browser-alt.css to be used with true_mobile_mode.css or fenix.css instead of browser.css. It can also be used with other styles like alt-single_tab_mode-alt.css to have the Tab Bar at the top of the screen and the Nav Bar at the bottom.
  • Added single_tab_mode-alt.css, true_mobile_mode-alt.css, and fenix-alt.css, to be used without alt-browser-alt.css or browser.css in order to have the Nav Bar at the top of the screen.
  • Added true_mobile_landscape.css and true_mobile_landscape-alt.css to have a nice landscape mode that maximizes usable space and fixes flickering popups.
  • Added fenix_fox.css to have a single standalone userChrome file containing all necessary code except fenix_colors.css. You can add dynamic_popups.css or another variation. fenix_fox-alt.css is the version that has the Nav Bar at the top of the screen. You will still need userContent.css (fenix).
  • Added fenix_one.css to have a single standalone userChrome file containing all necessary code, including fenix_colors.css. If you do not want the Private Browsing Mode theme for the URL Bar and Nav Bar, comment out that section of code at the bottom of the file. You can add dynamic_popups.css or another variation. fenix_one-alt.css is the version that has the Nav Bar at the top of the screen. You will still need userContent.css (fenix).
  • Added variables into many files so that they work in “Normal” and “Touch” density modes.

If you prefer having a single userChrome file, you can simply rename fenix_fox.css or fenix_one.css to userChrome.css. You can also copy and paste the contents of one of the dynamic_popups files to the bottom of the userChrome.css file. Whichever userChrome file or files you decide to use, you will still need userContent.css (fenix).

Viele kleine Schritte bei der Entwicklung einer stabilen Software für das Pinephone Pro ergeben irgendwann auch eine gut benutzbare Lösung. Das dauert noch etwas. Der Convergence Mode aber mit einem FullHD Display funktioniert schon ganz gut. Ist wirklich cool z.B. seine Mails auf einem größeren Display mit Tastatur und Maus zu bearbeiten. Das wird gut. #linuxphones #linux #danctnix #archlinux #phosh

@techlore We need a lot of patience with these kinds of projects or we'll never have a GNU/Linux phone. Remember they managed to do what even Canonical with more money and resources backed out of. @purism said they expect to reach shipping parity soon so I guess all genuine backers and customers should get hopefully by the end of this year at least.
