#gnomemobile — Public Fediverse posts

I wish there was a crowdfunding campaign somewhere to get a reasonably modern phone up and running reliably with real Linux.

I'm talking something with PostmarketOS / Mobian + Phosh/Plasma Mobile / Gnome Mobile and the basics made reliable:
* wifi
* mobile data
* calls
* suspend/wake
* camera

Maybe make Waydroid integration a stretch goal, but not a core requirement.

I would gladly throw a bunch of money at something with the promise to get the basics to work reliably.

Maybe the issue isn't money, but it sure seems like pooling funding for some of the highly talented people working in the space couldn't hurt.

Anyone know of anything like this?

Okay, hi everyone

This weekend, after a random toot from @alice in my TL, I found myself in a rabbit hole to enhance and create an iOS 6 theme for GTK4. It's not much, it has some rough edges, but damn it looks so cool, and I'm so proud of this!!

If you wanna help with design or add icons, please feel free to do so!

I'm travelling today and #GNOMEMobile just did the 100% CPU usage thing, clean-shaving 20% off my precious battery life.

This issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/verdre/gnome-shell-mobile/-/issues/70

Debating either doing nothing & hoping it will last or spending time trying to finally switch to #phosh. As much as I like GNOME Mobile and gave it a shot for 3 months, this is a total dealbreaker for me :(

Blogged about running Linux on my phone, the user experience, and the ecosystem that comes with it. Extremely excited about this!

#MobileLinux folks, is there a way to use the #stevia on-screen keyboard from #Phosh on #GnomeMobile ?

I'm seriously impressed by how beautiful and polished GNOME Mobile is. For me, it's the current winner for the best Linux smartphone UI.

What's your favorite mobile Linux interface?

Gradia is perfect for annotating screenshots and images on Linux smartphones!

I just can't go back to #Phosh after trying #GNOMEMobile!

Secondo voi visto l'andazzo delle ROM alternative causa #bigG ci sarà "un'impennata" nel settore mobile per gli OS open #linux come #plasmamobile #ubports #postmarketos #gnomemobile ecc? Porterà qualche dev in piú che svilupperà app specifiche? Magari un impennata cosi grande da portare grandi realtà a sviluppare app come io 🤣🤣🤣 da meta post sto vaneggiando 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don't know why i like #GNOMEMobile more then #Phosh :D

#LinuxMobile

Is anyone else experiencing missing icons on postmarketos gnome mobile? Boosts appreciated!

EDIT: I was able to resolve this by switching my icon theme to hicolor, then back to adwaita via gnome tweaks.

Thanks everyone!

Finally got around to replace #GnomeMobile with #Phosh on my OnePlus 6T with #postmarketOS. Thanks to @agx and @linuxmobile for the hints. I expected to just add the postmarketos-ui-phosh package but it complained about some conflicts. I had to manually del some postmarketos-ui-gnome-mobile packages and dependencies before I could add phosh.

While doing this I also did a postmarketos-release-upgrade. It's not really end user friendly at the moment but I consider pmOS still in development. After the reboot, I encountered a "Qualcomm Crashdump Mode" message for the first time in my life. A little disturbing, tbh, but after resetting the phone booted into tinydm+phosh as planned.

While GNOME Mobile isn't bad on a small screen, phosh is a little bit more optimized. I could imagine to give GNOME Mobile another try on my Mi Pad 5.

Linux mobile people, you can make decent screen recordings with Kooha. So share some videos, and let's demonstrate how amazing Linux smartphones are! Settings that work best for me on OnePlus 6t are mp4 + 30fps. #postmarketos #gnomemobile #mobilelinux

I've just joined the #LinuxMobile gang with a Redmi Note 9S, Mobile network works, Cameras works, Wifi and bluetooth works, almost everything is working on this phone!

I'll try to install #Phosh to see if it's better than #GnomeMobile !
