#sxmo#linuxmobile news:
i fixed the wifi-sec hotspot creation bug, added a 'GSM Disable' entry and a 'Wifi Credentials' to show pw in text and qr-code of the connected wifi or hotspot.
and:
i decided to stop messing with sourcehut, #git send-email and upstream, for fuck sake, its so demotivating! to which email address? why did it not only send the last commit? where is it gone?
i prefer to use my time for features/fixes and to document them, not to messup pipelines of others....
on my #linuxmobile#op6 i can now select anything on the screen and it will ocr the text, copy it to the clipboard and read it out loud for me. to start it, there is a button on the keyboard 😎

if you never used android, give instead #ubports a try, i used the 16.04 as a reliable daily driver happy for several years...
aaaand, if camera is a big issue and you like phosh, give #droidian a go! https://droidian.org/ #op6
thanks to a nice talk with the @postmarketOS crew last night,
i ditched 'nano editor' in favour of 'micro editor', crazy, after all this years, why so late? its so much more userfriendly to write code with semantic highlighting!
when i was a teenager *.mp3 was the thing to safe storage on the sony walkman phones, nowadays cool kids use *.opus
audio files, it uses 10x less storage on my #op6 and frees up space for other fancy stuff...
@ollieparanoid@linmob I'm dying to test out Plasma Mobile 6 on my #OP6. I'm currently building an image from the edge channel, but is version 6 even in edge yet? I read somewhere that pmOS setup a special channel for PM6 development. Do I have to jump to that one? I guess I'll find out in a few minutes.
After spending 2 days searching on how to show the mousepointer and switch to trackpad mode in #sway, the final solution to use #krita on #linuxmobile is way more simple and pragmatic:
Just create a workspace which fits the mobile needs.
The file open/save dialog is a bit sketchy, but so far the best image editing experience on my #op6. Including cropping and colorgrading.
As usual, get the setting from my codeberg repo:
codeberg.org/magdesign/sxmo-userscripts/
#droidian on the #op6 gives me the long awaited feeling of a fully usable #linuxphone to travel.
e.g. having a working camera & gps and even a #waydroid helper to run android apps like wa or organicmaps which are currently not available on #linuxmobile
with a native working browser, xmpp and matrix clients its daily driveable (signal is still a showstopper)...
@dylanvanassche has done an incredible amount of reverse engineering work to enable sensor support for SDM845 devices in #postmarketOS! 🎉 🎉 🎉
The accelerometer (auto screen rotation), ambient light sensor (auto-brightness), and compass now work properly on phones like the #OnePlus6 and #SHIFT6mq! Amazing work!!!
@craftyguy@dylanvanassche great work, Thanks ! As it is now into pmos I could make the proximity lock work in #sxmo on my #op6 with little effort ! (auto-rotation should be easy to implement too)
