postmarketos: samsung-expressatt: linux: gpu, hw-acceleration, and phosh
phosh now works with ai help :). got gpu and had to modify mesa a bit
takes 10 mins to boot (!) but it works. @phosh would it be useful to provide a flamegraph on a 2012 armv7 phone?
im thinking of making a downstream kernel pkg while upstreaming all these features just so i can move it to community
upstreaming my patches is a slow process unfortunately. 1 patch hasnt been merged for 2 kernel cycles

Today, I attempted to do a release upgrade of #PostmarketOS on my #PinePhone. I started out with errors on two packages which prevented the upgrade from happening (and which weren't fixable with "apk fix").
Uninstalling those -- fortunately not critical -- and I got the upgrade script to run. Now I'm left with a console login on the phone screen, with no on-screen keyboard. I think a reinstall is in order.
I remain sadly unconvinced by the usability (at all) of PostmarketOS.

THANKS FOR THE sdm845 KERNEL UPGRADE! 🎉
-
Finally I have managed to flash #postmarketOS onto my old Nexus 7 tablet, the only device I have that supports pmOS.
It took some attempts (...a lot of attempts) to get into APX mode and do the whole backup the bootloader and flash u-boot thing, and accidentally bricking the bootloader once during the process, before I could actually flash the pmOS image onto it.
So cool! ...Well, it doesn't have hardware acceleration, XFCE is not really intended for touchscreen devices, and in general it seems slow even when I'm connected via SSH.

зарядить планшет (Samsung Galaxy Tab A) на постмаркете - тот ещё квест
там надо как-то по-особому воткнуть кабель, чтобы он заряжался, вероятно, драйвер под это дело кривой, а ещё он не показывает, заряжается ли он, - надо сделать `cat /sys/class/power_supply/max170xx_battery/current_now` (я, конечно, эту команду добавила в .bashrc под оч коротким алиасом)
пыталась сегодня ночью заряжать его в режиме фастбута - вдруг там с драйвером лучше, он за ночь зарядился процентов на 15 :neocat_floof_googly_woozy_shocked:
@rf @stephanie может, у кого-то будут идеи, как с этим бороться?

My Sunday challenge: installing #Devuan in place of #OpenBSD on my laptop so I can install #postmarketOS on an old tablet, because for some reason I only have a blue USB port on that laptop (my SFF PC has a whole bunch of USB ports, but none are blue). Let's see how well restoring the backup will work once I reinstall OpenBSD.
I wonder how many years worth of work would it take to create a #NetBSD / #smolBSD based mobile distro after #postmarketOS has done more progress...

снова на #postmarketOS! (ну вот ничему меня жизнь не учит :neofox_laugh_sweat: )

On a mildly related note, I think the "why is my #PostmarketOS phone always clicking" question is either:
- my living room having poor reception and the alert for my phone reconnecting to the cellular network, OR
- the battery being as full as the prototype charging device driver for my specific phone wants to allow, and the phone cycling between charging and draining.

Мне дали денег на новый телефон, но Android — это слишком скучно, поэтому я хочу себе #линуксофон на #postmarketOS.
Не хотелось бы покупать девайс у совсем уж незнакомых людей на Авито, так что сначала спрошу здесь, вдруг кто-то хочет свой продать. Бюджет — в пределах 15 килорублей.
Если есть советы по покупке, или вы хотите меня отговорить, то тоже пишите.

#pine64 support seem to be trolling me. I reported that wifi chip stopped working within ~15 minutes, and their response so far has been:
- Gaslight me and try to convince me there is no problem
- Try to convince me my phone wasn't charged enough for wifi+bt chip to work.
- Try to convince me that even though battery is charged, it doesn't have "enough voltage" just for this one chip while everything else works
It is almost as if they just want me to go away and stop complaining.

@brainblasted I have a branch with quickshell on alpine now. DMS needs some tweaks for min-width but it seems pretty promising. :) #postmarketos #niri

Is this a path for Signal on a Linux phone? 👀

Het smartphonelandschap wordt gecontroleerd door twee grote Amerikaanse technologiebedrijven: Google en Apple. Hoe mooi zou het zijn als er een Linux-distributie voor de telefoon is dat niet gecontroleerd wordt door een commercieel bedrijf, dat gebruikers geen propriëtaire en online diensten opdringt en je privacy wel respecteert?
Op de NLUUG voorjaarsconferentie van 7 mei 2026 zal Bart Ribbers #PostmarketOS introduceren en laten zien hoe ver dit FOSS initiatief voor de smartphone ondertussen gekomen is.
Kijk voor het hele programma op https://nluug.nl/evenementen/nluug/voorjaarsconferentie-2026/
Schrijf je snel in voor deze dag (nog maar een paar dagen te gaan) en we zien je op de voorjaarsconferentie!#NLUUG is dé vereniging voor (professionele) gebruikers van UNIX/Linux, #OpenSource, #OpenSystemen en #OpenStandaarden in NL.

Tagged #postmarketOS #pmbootstrap 3.10.2 with some important bug fixes, see https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/-/tags/3.10.2. An especially big thank you to @craftyguy for figuring out and fixing the file descriptor leak!

@EUCommission devices which aren't broken can be flashed with #postmarketOS or #mobian, and used as mobile phones or tiny servers

Porting the OpenHarmony UI and other stuff to run on top of postmarketOS could be interesting.

This took me quite a bit of time, but I managed to boot postmarketOS on a currently unsupported devboard (commonly available for €25-30 where I live).
Little bit proud, but it's not a proper port yet, I ripped the kernel and other parts of the pre-init bootchain (fip.bin, u-boot, ...) from a pre-made Debian image for that device. I have a (mostly working) APKBUILD for that device's userland though. :)

Since switching to #postmarketOS, one of the things I missed most from Android is this curious keyboard app "Unexpected Keyboard," which lets you access most symbols with a swipe. Importantly for Linux, it has Ctrl, Tab, Escape, and arrows!
I found a repo called "Unfettered Keyboard" (by @flamingradian), which is a faithful port of the base features from my favorite keyboard! I switched to #PlasmaMobile a couple days back and am so thrilled to be able to use this keyboard on it!!

@postmarketOS Do you have any plans to enable any donation methods beside #opencollective which is currently preparing collaborating with #persona #KYC? It would be nice to be able to send money directly to an #IBAN account or via some not-us-based #crowdfunding platform like #steady.

#postmarketOS is running again on my #shiftphone #6mq. Before I installed postmarketOS, I've created a backup in #EDL mode.

postmarketOS supports XFS now! Just run `pmbootstrap install --filesystem=xfs` and your rootfs will be formatted with XFS instead of EXT4.

Some non-US company needs to build a hardware phone set around Postmarket OS and just 'get on with it'. There's an obvious appetite for something other than Google Android or Apple iOS phones.
I mean, the OS is there just waiting; throw some professional engineering effort around power management, cameras, and UX and it's a good jump into a practical, commodity phone that is open with a lot of heavy lifting already done. If that corp was practical and ethical it even could be a decent technology and social "good".
In Canada I'd hope a company like BlackBerry could do something like this but, do they even make hardware anymore, do they exist in the mobile space? If they exist would they even still have the talent to pull off something like this?
It doesn't have to be an expensive premium device, it just needs to be decent enough, affordable device with open software like an unencumbered browser, tethering, ability to run Signal...
