postmarketOS isn't turning out to be as daily-driveable in the long term as I had hoped.

So, I'm switching to Android (im thinkin LineageOS, tho any other suggestions would be appreciated!)

I've never used Android before, any tips?

krafter,
@krafter@fosstodon.org avatar

@craftyguy my reasons for switching are:

  • no camera support*
  • unreliable calls on my device (op6)
  • poor discord support (ik ik, but the reality is most of the communities I'm in are on discord, and those people won't leave (yet))

*yes ik some devices have camera support, but they're either under powered or expensive or both

@pocketvj @craftyguy the big problem with droidian is that it doesn't support MMS, which would be a big issue for me, living in the U.S.

krafter,
@krafter@fosstodon.org avatar

@pocketvj @craftyguy well, tbh it's the fault of two things:

  1. Some big cell provider ages ago setting 'unlimited talk and text' as the norm for cell plans
  2. Apple's iMessage being good, and having sms/mms in the same app with it, so apple users just text everybody, and when its not iMessage they can't be bothered to switch to a different app to text people-- (1/2)

@krafter@fosstodon.org avatar

I don't think (most) people appreciate old technology anymore.

Today I brought my typewriter (a Smith-Corona Silent) to each of my classes to take notes with. Other than my friends, most people just didn't seem to care (or even notice).

And of all teachers, my History teacher asked me to put it away.

Is it just me, or do ppl not appreciate old tech as much as I thought they did?

@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

The new wifi and bluetooth quick toggles in #android are so terrible, I'm seriously considering trying out something like UBports

Of course, iOS is even worse.

@RL_Dane the quick settings toggles r awesome on @phosh ... just sayin

so cool to have offline speech recognition on #linuxmobile thanks to ideasman42 github repo.
next step is to create #sxmo gestures or even better a microphone key on the virtual keyboard to enable/disable spokenlanguage input.

@pocketvj oooh :blobcathearteyes:

@agx how feasible would it be for one (as in me, an unexperienced dev in this field) to add a "keyboard" to phosh-osk-stub based on this?

Well, in celebration of , I thought I should give @postmarketOS another go on my old Samsung Galaxy A3. The documentation was not at all straightforward, not thanks to shell I manages to get all required software ready and it booted into .🍾

This was the good news. Now the bad news: the PostmarketOS documentation reads "if the image has a pin on it try 0000, 1111, 1234, or 147147". I tried them in order and the phone died and doesn't turn on anymore 🤔

Any tips?

krafter,
@krafter@fosstodon.org avatar

@sohrabbehdani @Mehrad The docs might help too:

Check the install guide for a general overview of the process - https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Installation

But always heed your device's page for specific info (especially the "Installation" section for your device) - https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_A3_2017_(samsung-a3y17lte)

krafter,
@krafter@fosstodon.org avatar

@Mehrad @sohrabbehdani That's unfortunate.

It could be because your device is not as widely used (and hence doesnt have as many contributors). I'm using a OnePlus 6 which has a good wiki page.

A friend of mine gave me a bunch of old phones he had lying around, and one of them (a Samsung Galaxy A3 from 2015) is supported by postmarketOS! I am now the proud owner of a Linux phone! 🚀🎉🚀

Initial impressions of using Plasma Mobile (5)

Networking feels buggy. Don't love how it automatically connects to my computer as a USB ethernet connection. Plasma Mobile feels a bit sluggish here and there but I see where they're going. Not sure how much is down to postmarket itself, Plasma Mobile and the OnePlus 6T.

krafter,
@krafter@fosstodon.org avatar

@arch You might wanna give #Phosh a try then :blobcatwink:

It's generally more stable, because its more widely used and purism devs work on it

#AskFedi Anyone know of a good music library manager for Mobile Linux? (esp. Phosh/GNOME)

I like the aesthetic and background playback features of Amberol, but it can't do playlists or scrobble my listens to last.fm. I like the functionality of Lollypop, but it crashes too much and the UI/UX is awful.

Here's my criteria:

  • Adaptive for mobile/touch
  • Scrobble to last.fm
  • Playlists/Artists/Albums
  • Background Playback

Also being pretty would be nice.

@system76 I've been working on a (wip) GTK4/Libadwaita app for GroupMe on linux: https://github.com/TheKrafter/Groupings

It's written in Python, packaged as a Flatpak, and designed with Mobile Linux in mind.

Around the same time of the Mastodon spam, @PINE64 chat seems to have been hit with a different kind of spam.

Today's a fun day, isn't it?

@danct12 with that message "Better fedi better future" it seems like they're trying to improve spam protection on the fediverse (though doing it in all the wrong way)
