  1. No new apps today, but some nice updates to existing apps:

    https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/re.fossplant.songrec/ is now GTK4/libadwaita and works well on mobile - go shazam that song you don't recall artist and title of

    https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/com.ranfdev.lobjur/ has been updated and now supports 'Hacker News', too!

    Oh, and both apps are now part of Flathub's Mobile Collection 🥳

  3. As I was working my upcoming #FOSDEM talk "The Linux Phone App Ecosystem" (https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/VH3GYN-linux-phone-app-ecosystem-2026/) I thought: Maybe I should ask my followers.. So here we are:

    What do you want to know?
    Which projects do I have to mention?
    What should I focus on?
    Which apps do you enjoy the most?
    What are you missing?
    What are you worried about?

  5. Lilbits: iPad-style multitasking on iPhones, and maybe Lenovo didn’t leak any Android PC plans after all

    Last week news started to make the rounds that Lenovo has published a web page spelling out the pros (and many cons) of PCs running Android. But Lenovo has since removed that website and claimed that it had nothing to do with Google’s plans to bring Android to PCs in the future… although it’s unclear why Lenovo published that page in the first place.

    In other recent tech news from around the […]

  6. Would #LinuxPhoneApps Office Hours be interesting?

    Long term, i'd like to establish a regular monthly slot, but it would likely be around 12:00 (AM) UTC timeslot on fridays to fit into my dayjob/private life schedule.

  8. Signal Messenger is a really good app.

    Full stop.

    But it's preventing me from adopting a Linux Phone.

    I can't get away from iOS or Google because of Signal.

    (and "degoogled" AOSP with sideloaded Signal doesn't make sense to me. I can't sort it out. I'm trying to.)

    Looking at who I talk to on Signal, I wonder if I can get another end-to-end encrypted messaging app that compares to Signal that would run on a Linux phone and that I could migrate all of my friends and family over onto (so it would have to be crossplatform with iOS and Android.)

    Anyone have any recommendations (from personal experience. I'm doing lots of DuckDuckGo searches and wading through AI slop right now).

  10. I wanted to maintain #AppStream metadata for #BitRitter so i could use it for #LinuxPhoneApps and #FlatPak packaging. But it is so overwhelming at first when you are not familiar with is.
    I wish there was like a guided activity for it like an install wizard back in the days.

  12. Due to the holidays and related social obligations the Weekly Update will be delayed. I am just too drunk.. Cheers!
    It should be out tomorrow - unless I am severly held up by chores.

  13. @dreirik Mit Distributionen wie #postmarketos kann ich nicht nur mein Smartphone länger nutzen, sondern es auch als Desktop oder Laptop verwenden. #LinuxPhoneApps

  14. Whats holding back #Linux on mobile phones at the moment is the lack of apps. But there's more coming every day. Let's hope development continues to flourish.
