#FroSCon starts tomorrow and we're having a short #phosh get together in the 📱 devroom (C117) at 16:30. Everyone interested is invited to share some #MobileLinux stories, attach names to faces and 🍾 the 0.30.0 release.
If you're using an external dock with touchscreen: Due to the wlroots update we need to update the touch mappings to make touch on the external output still work. There will soon be a phosh-mobile-settings bugfix release to make this simple for known docks: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-mobile-settings/-/merge_requests/63
Hey Fedi, I need advices to quickly destress myself, long lasting stressful events keep piling up in my life since January and I need anything to relax a bit, I'm on the verge of imploding mentaly which will prevent me from fixing things up and make the situation even worse. Any advice helps.
A challenge proposed by @jjardon for #GUADEC2024 in Denver: we try to go the whole week using only GNOME for our phones. No iPhone, no Android, just GNOME OS or postmarketOS or whatever with GNOME on top.
Navigate with Maps, wake up with Clocks, share our adventures with Snapshot and Tuba, communicate with Fractal, etc.
Think that sounds impossible today? We have one year to get things into shape before then! 😅
This release brings Improved audio device selection, notifications for ongoing calls, a new sensors panel (thanks @devrtz) suspend from system menu (thanks undef) and more!
While one could get back to an ongoing call on #phosh's lockscreen by swiping
to the right it wasn't clear if there was still a call ongoing. This will be
improved by showing a notification on the lockscreen making it hard to miss (and which we can likely also use to switch between calls once the calls app supports it):
1️⃣ /3️⃣
An notification that allows to discover an ongoing call in #phosh
While at that I put notifications and media player widget into the same
scrolled window and have that use more vertical space so things are (hopefully) less clumsy to use.
This one has a new menu on power button long press, initial emergency calls support (thanks @CoderThomasB, @devrtz), improvements on the compositor side, new completers in phosh-osk-stub, configurable ring tones and more.
Ever since doing the initial completion support in #phosh 's osk-stub I wanted to add a generic "unix pipe" like completer. phosh-osk-stub would feed the program preedit on stdin and read the completions from the program's stdout.
That is there now and with that and some more changes I can use @zachdecook 's #swipeGuess to do swipe like typing. To be clear: all the hard work is done by swipeGuess, phosh-osk-stub just piggy backs on it:
Some progress to handle notches / cutouts of #linuxmobile phones better in #phosh : I have a small lib that gets panel cutout / notch information as #svg paths and can calculate a bounding box . #phoc can use it to render cutouts for debugging and #phosh can use it for layout (so far only to shift the panel down). (see follow up posts for more pictures).
1️⃣ /4️⃣
Finally got to look at this again and instead of just pushing down #phosh's top panel we now place the clock to the left or right based on the available space. The logic is still pretty simple but it covers the cases where we have data for in #gmobile. Will try to land this in 0.29.0.
