@janvlug I really wish they would also offer flatpak as "AppImage for all distros" is just a falsehood, it certainly does not work at all on #Pixel3a running #postmarketOS.

It was a good run, #Pixel3a. Case wore down to nothing and I was in the process of trying to find a new case when I dropped the phone, cracking the screen.
Not sure what I'll do but I'm thinking I'll give #GrapheneOS a go on either a #fairphone or some older pixel I find. Was hoping to get more years out of this Pixel 3a, but it was a nice run.

Looks like #postmarketOS edge on #Pixel3a has a working focus driver for the back camera now:

Uh oh. The touchscreen has started acting up on my #postmarketos #pixel3a. I hope it's not the hardware but it kinda feels like it since it suddenly started happening.
If it gets unusably bad I'm probably going to by myself a Fairphone as a new daily driver

Just a shame that the Pixel 3a doesn't do proper external monitor support. Otherwise, convergence would still be a thing.

Debido a diversos obstáculos, he cambiado de opinión y estoy en proceso de portar mi fiel Pixel 3a a Halium 12. No solo estoy trabajando para conseguir una partición del sistema de mayor tamaño, sino que también ayudaré a la gente a habilitar VoLTE, algo que no puedo probar con mi operador.
Esto es solo un proyecto paralelo, pero si queréis votar para que le dé...

@superuserdo @postmarketOS
If you want to use the device to make phone calls, than #pixel3a. If you just want to try out and play with #postmarketOS, I would recommend #oneplus6 or #oneplus6t -

Took the car for a longer drive today and figured it was the perfect chance to test navigation on my #linuxphone . Тhe road is really winding, so it's easy to see if the position tracking is accurate. I wasn’t expecting much since, when I’m stationary, all apps seem to drift by about 100 meters. To my surprise #PureMaps was just as precise as OsmAnd on Android, which I kept running side-by-side for comparison.
So, on #pixel3a with #postmarketos GPS works perfectly when you’re on the move. -

Posting from my #Pixel3a on #LineageOS / #Android 15!
The Mastodon app seems smoother here than on iOS.

Ubuntu Touch is an important project for a freer future for mobile platforms, but current alternative operating systems are simpler to use at the moment.

Further changes in other components:
- The file chooser portal was migrated to Rust making the wallpaper portal the last non-Rust one that exposes UI
- feedbackd now recognizes the haptic motor on the #Fairphone5
- The flash LED will be less bright when using it as notification LED on the #Pixel3A

@simplex I think that statistics for even Linux desktop users are not too reliable as they generally dislike/distrust #telemetry and tracking, so Linux phone user count could be difficult.
If follower count here on the fediverse is anything to go by, the largest #LinuxPhone-related accounts @pine64, @purism, @postmarketOS appear to have around 13-10k followers. If app download count can give as a hint, the Gnome Calls app (originally made by Purism) was downloaded over 50k times from Flathub https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Calls
As for devices, phones sold with Linux preinstalled include the #Librem5, #LibertyPhone, #PinePhone, #PinePhonePro, #Flx1 and #JollaC2.
Some older Android devices repurposed to install Linux include #OnePlus6, #Pixel3a and #Fairphone5.

...oh god what day is this? I know I didn't post yesterday...but it's been like a two day gap? That's pretty good indicator, right?
day 7 i think?
anyway, i'm going to be a bit lazier as the trip goes... but i'll try to keep relevant updates.
The only real not worthy thing... as calls don't work (don't call it a #bug, call it a #feature), I did get suspend locked up because the phone swore it was in a non existing call. So I had to reboot.. only the second maybe third reboot of the trip. Otherwise... ish is fine. It's real hard not running #topgrade tho~
Do I wish I had app equivalents to ride sharing and food ordering? Absolutely... but as someone that cannot dev.. I can only try to fund ish... So I refuse to complain about it. And to be honest I could try Android Translation Layer, but that feels like that's missing the point, and the web sites mostly work... #uber is a pita tho.

Day 5
Uneventful. And isn't that what we want? I haven't rebooted since I have arrived. I might reboot tomorrow as #snapshot seems to be ... having some blinking screen issues. #megapixels seems to be working now though lol... I want to build megapixels 2.0... but... might need to upgrade and everyone is telling me not to...

Day 3
Well firstly, I messed up some of the tags for Day 2...
my-place.social/display/e59937…
One slightly annoying thing that I forgot on my journey, usb... I could not plug in the phone into the car... it insisted on using some non existing network and would disconnect my network connections.Anyway, Day 3 though... The only thing of note is, I ran into some issue with #peanutbutter ... I don't know exactly what happened... but I had to do a hard reset due to peanutbutter working but not taking inputs. For all the months I've used peanutbutter.. this is a first. I'm chaulking it up to a random fluke.
Speaking on battery... I'm spoiled. As a #pinephone refugee, I was used to paying extra attention to battery usage. Which is why I've always really dug #tui software (it has zero about how neat I find them as well /s). So, as I turned off suspend for my journey, I plumb ass forgor to turn it back on today... and ish was actually fine... like I used only like 50% of the battery with zero suspending. I didn't do a lot but my activities today:
GPS to a place around the corner
Spend most of the day chatting on #weechat #gomuks and mms/sms. I kept tabs on my M$ apps for work via web apps as well as made a few replies. That said, I missed zero calls (fuck scammers and promote #scambaiting ), I had zero sms or mms get stuck in the modem. We'll see how tomorrow goes with suspend on.(hopefully i dont fk this up)

Day 2...
So... I think I need to address the audio overflow issues I'be been having. Like, day one on #pmos on my pixel 3a I've seen random buffer overflow... I've just ignored it. While the device did get fairly warm... it wasn't more than my regular android phone would get, but I had two reboots happen in an 11hr drive. Given, audio has rebooted and frozen the phone in the past, I can't say navigating was the issue. Also, I #puremaps worked well... but obivously waze navigated a quicker route. There were a few questiobable decisions puremaps decided on routing... like getting off a highway for an exit and getting back on... While I relied on waze, puremaps would have gotten me there... reboots aside. But yes, otherwise I had #qutebrowser monotoring my work communiques. I was streaming a twitch stream (shout out to #theunexpectables) for a good chunk too... which was a little much...should have done audio only

Proud to announce no more physical #spyware from #Google in my pocket!
Success in flashing Ubuntu Touch @ubports to my #Pixel3a phone.
Took all day and was frustrating, but I think the peace of mind will be well worth it.Still need to finish porting my apps, and learn the new #ubuntu interfaces
Google's documentation pages have way too many 404 links.

Looking into protecting myself via flashing #graphene_os on my #Pixel3a - which iirc I paid $500 for and still use daily for everything
My phone is now apparently only worth $12, and will continue to spy on me because its "out of support" - even for GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS
I realize the technical security reasons for this, but like, I still use my Pixel3a for gaming and other high intensity activities
There does not seem to be any options;
I cannot afford to upgrade
