Update: I got the Exynos 5300 modem booting and was able to send a simple text message! Sadly, all very proprietary with no existing integration into e.g. ModemManager #mobilelinux #pixel9a

Thanks to @ollieparanoid 's prompt we made a bit of progress moving @verdre @tbernard's mobile shell patches to /World for easier collaboration (already have 3 maintainers now) , and making the repos proper relational forks of their upstreams for easier syncing thanks to @alatiera. Rebasing from 48=>51.alpha/main not done yet (I'm a bit over my head on this one), but we have better tools to do so now. New home: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/MobileShell/

As you've probably guessed, no Weekly #MobileLinux Update for this week, either.

All three members of my family including me are doing better (I hope my wife's check-up tomorrow goes well and there's been no setback today), but I just can't afford two to three hours this takes yet. At least we're home since July 1st, which is so much nicer than life in a hospital.

Thanks everyone for the kind words, ... and to the person that sent the little Phosh-branded gift: You've made my day!

In-band deep sleep works now too. That drops the idle power usage when connected to wifi (measured WLAN+BT rail only) from nearly 400mW to 130mW. Still too high compared to downstream, but a big improvement. And while both GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.8 were unable to pinpoint previous issues I've had, Fable 5 did nail it in one prompt. Not sure what to think of that... #mobilelinux #pixel9a

Everything down to battery management and up to the touch screen digitizer are all performing perfectly.

A custom touch tester built-in to the Pocket P.C. Checks that your screen is calibrated so all five touch points are accurately mapped to screen position.

Purism only makes money on selling the device. Not on building customer profiles, pushing advertisements, or forcing apps to the buyers.

From the sell of the hardware everything has to be paid, the hardware itself, the PureOS development (including upstreaming), and everything else. Also Purism releases all software as FOSS, so no vendor locking as well.

So by buying Purism hardware you support the entire #MobileLinux eco system, in a way.

The June PureOS update report by @purism was published:

https://puri.sm/posts/pureos-development-report-may-2026/

It elaborates a bit more on the release of Crimson and way forward to the next release, named Dawn.

Also to the release of the #Librem16 laptop is mentioned.

Thanks to all who worked on this or contributed in any other way, like being a totally optional PureOS subscriber: https://puri.sm/posts/pureos-optional-subscription-added-to-advance-development/

Diesen Samstag gehts von München nach Tübingen zum **Tübix**.

Vor Jahren mein erster Linux-Tag überhaupt, deswegen hat er bei mir einen festen Platz. Kein Hochglanz, kein Marketing-Skript. Ein Tag, an dem Leute zeigen, woran sie schrauben, und dich mitnehmen wollen.

Eintritt frei, von Freiwilligen getragen, jede:r packt ein bisschen mit an.

Aus dem Programm:
→ Wie KI-Systeme wirklich funktionieren — Black Box auf, statt andächtig davorstehen
→ digital souverän @home mit Stalwart: Mail, Kalender, Kontakte, Dateien in eigener Hand. Läuft. Selbst getestet.
→ 6 Jahre Mobile Linux am Smartphone (mein Volla winkt)
→ FOSS als Chance Europas und warum jetzt genau DER Zeitpunkt ist
→ Recht auf Reparatur gegen geplante Obsoleszenz

Und der Punkt:
Wenn dein Werkzeugkasten aus genau einem Legacy-Ökosystem besteht, gerade dann komm. Souveränität ist keine Ideologie, sondern eine Frage: Kennst du die Alternative, bevor du dich entscheidest? Ein Tag Tübix beantwortet die mit ja.

Neugier kostet hier nur die Anfahrt. Ich bring meine mit. 🦔 Und freue mich drauf. Sehehn wir uns?

It's time for a new PFP.

PocketPC, a portable Linux-based computer. Six years in development and refinement. Everything we ever dreamed of and more. Major project update in the works! We can not wait to share what we have been building in silence.

I have good news and bad news.
Good news: My son has been born this week. He's wonderful, his mom's more than awesome (the birth (and aftermath) wasn't easymode, I'll not share further details other then that I have been full of joy but also really fearful at times, but German healthcare, at least where we live, is excellent).

Bad news: No weekly #MobileLinux update tonight/this week, and likely not for a bit - can't quite say, it really depends on how well we adjust to this new life.

(So if you always wanted to do something similar/better, go ahead!)

As an update: the ACPM based thermal probes and power readings are wired up now. This also means that running a CPU intensive task is safe now (I hope). Before, the phone could have run the chip too hot, as dynamic CPU frequencies were already working. I’ve verified that the big core now stays below 90°C under sustained load. In a previous test, it briefly reached 125°C according to the thermal probes (I quickly killed the load). That’s one way you can kill your device #mobilelinux #pixel9a

The code for my Pixel 9a experiments is now available at https://git.deusch.me/pixel-mainline. I’m including a big AI disclaimer in the repository descriptions. Anyone using that code has to be aware that I created it with LLMs as an (ongoing) experiment. While I always have the LLM validate commits against downstream code and traces, and also verify that things work on the device, there might be problems. I won’t take blame if you build on top of this code and your device gets damaged

Progress update on Principia touch support: All TMS_BACKEND_PC (and _MOBILE) compile-time ifdefs that primarily gated touch code exclusive to Android are now completely gone!

Now your experience on touchscreen Linux devices should be about on par with the Android version of Principia when you tick "Enable touch controls" in the settings. This also goes well with the new `use_gles` in settings.ini to switch to OpenGL ES without recompiling!

New release coming soon but I would appreciate if people could also build and test master to see if I've missed anything (we've also upgraded to #SDL3 so plenty that can go wrong). I should hopefully also try to get Principia packaged in #AlpineLinux in time for the next release. You know where I'm going with this! :) (ooo... #postmarketOS ...)

@joergi @clero @Oleksii An Android or iOS device is not needed to run #SignalDesktop on #LinuxPhones, even if registering a brand new account. #SignalCli works great as the primary device, either on your desktop or on your Linux phone itself. It is available from #Flathub and from Alpine / pmOS repos.

I think you can also use Flare as the primary device, but the option was hidden in the UI last I checked.
