#pocof1 — Public Fediverse posts

and this is a video of Steam launching on #pocoF1 with PostmarketOS

@fbinin oh you said low cost. Then I go back to my original recommendation of #PocoF1...with the caveat that some things like Waydroid and GPS will need setup (and GPS on Waydroid still remains elusive to me)

@fbinin I'd say it's worth flashing it just to get a sense of how the interface itself works and to experiment before actually buying a new device. (Also, there's a chance that someone will figure out the drivers for it later and then you can use it: my camera started working a bit only a few months after I'd set up #Mobian on my #PocoF1)

Long term, a secondhand Poco F1 would be good for a cheap option but if you're serious about it I'd recommend investing in the #FLX1 by @furilabs

But as a glimmer of light, I have good news. I'll soon start working on getting xiaomi-beryllium (poco f1) to work with postmarketOS, in this case it means fixing broken buttons to unbrick the device.

I can finally work on it (managed to unlock my device's bootloader and currently the kernel is flashing)

#postmarketos #pmos #linuxmobile #pocof1 #pocophonef1 #xiaomi #linux

@valhalla @praveen it also depends on the hardware, doesn't it?

#Debian on a #PocoF1 is very much a smartphone, but if you put the same label to Debian on a #Beepy it won't quite live up to expectations

Unfortunately, many people have the impression that "being small with a physical numpad" and "capable of running complex applications" are mutually exclusive resulting in most manufacturers not giving good specs to such devices. So in practice #KaiOS phones are closer to feature phones 😕

@seshpenguin @espidev wait, is that webcam connected through USB-C? Which device supports that? (My #PocoF1 didn't but maybe my knowledge is outdated)

Wow I've never seen this before! Usually the whole shell just freezes up or something unless I quickly SSH and kill or something. Definitely an improvement 😅️

#Phosh #Mobian #MobileLinux #PocoF1

They said #XMPP was connected to #xampu, so I made some! 😇

Hair is personal. Messaging should be too :xmpp:

The owner of Beeja Botanicals is my former classmate, and she's used the shampoo herself, so I know it's good! The first batch is ready and will be available for purchase at #PravConf (or will be, once I've finished wrapping it all 😅)

PS: flyer designed with #Inkscape, and photo taken with #Megapixels on #Mobian on the #PocoF1! :inkscape: :debian:

i flashed the latest #mobian on my #pocof1.

no sound, no camera and no sensors :))))

#Camera support for the #PocoF1 just dropped in #mobian! There's still work to be done, but hey, we're making good progress 🎉️🎈️

PSA: the final image turns out better than the preview. Remember to manually set the ISO for best results 🔧️

The photos here are taken without and with flash respectively—or, should I say, with the torch activated from the quick menu 🔦️

I haven't set up postprocessing, but maybe these themselves can form their own aesthetic! #BerryLin, anyone? :linux: :debian: :phosh:

how can i save more battery on my #pocof1 with #postmarketos and phosh?

when i had lineage installed on this, it reported that my battery life is around 62%.

@AnimeAndVisial well my #PocoF1 lasts about 8 hours per charge, so you shouod probably carry a power bank like I did. There are also some quirk peculiar to my phone like not being able to receive calls on suspend and no camera drivers, but if you get an actual designed-for-Linux phone like the #PinePhone or #Librem those are not issues (besides maybe the battery life)

If you don't need full mainline, @praveen can probably tell you more about the #Droidian based #FuriPhoneFLX1

Arrived about half an hour ago with @bady and @kannan. Photo courtesy *not* my #PocoF1 of course 📸️

Okay I'm back after the first leg of the journey. I'd put the phone on suspend for a while which also stonewalls calls and SMSes but informs me when I wake it up (#PocoF1 bug, or, shall I say, feature)

Here's a demonstration of the cellular being switched off. in #Phosh. The mobile data toggle thing is. now working fine by the way

#Mobian

By the way here's the event link:

I realised one disadvantage of going out is there are bright places where I have to crank up the backlight. Well, at least most of my travelling this time is at night 😎️

I forgot to test mobile data before leaving (someone on the #mobian channel had trouble with that on their #PocoF1 recently) but as you can see it's working fine! Phew 📶

Getting ready for my first long (2 days) outing carrying #Mobian on the #PocoF1! :debian:

Battery is at 99% and I'm keeping it plugged in till I leave, in about 15 minutes. Also carrying a power bank as backup 🔋

I'll be updating more on this thread as things progress, now that I can 😉️

Where I'm going: to participate in the @prav related panel discussion at #FOSSDay in #Palai, #Kerala :xmpp:

#MobileLinux #Mobian

Uh...... it seems like that my #pocof1 needs a battery replacement.

Finally the #Camera for #pocoF1 is here with #Postmarketos Edge and Kernel 6.11 🥳

Not much perfect but it works!

#linuxmobile

@disaster2life I mean #KaiOS is good if you want to also make and receive phone calls/SMS or create a 4G WiFi hotspot on said portable hackable device?

But if those are not important there'd be other options too (check #Beepy and #WiPhone!) :raspberrypi:

For me, it was the one device I'd carry around (until I got #Mobian on my #PocoF1, but my #Nokia2720Flip is still 💯 when I'm not in the city and apt to be blocked by QR-coded React-bloated ticketing systems or something)

@rmader bookmarking in the hope that I shall be the one to pick this up and boosting in the fear that I won't :masto_flushed:

(I have a vested interest, as I'm running #Mobian on a #PocoF1

@linmob ahhh the #PocoF1 and #OnePlus6 are lagging behind #Pixel3a on cameras! I backed the wrong horse on that one 🐎 🫠

#MobileLinux #postmarketOS

#India based people only: would you be interested in buying a #Mobian powered #PocoF1 or #OnePlus6 if I handled the unlocking and installation for you? :debian: 📱️

Comment with details!

#MobileLinux #Debian

Okay, so I finally published my first impressions running #Phosh and #Mobian on the #PocoF1! :phosh: :debian:

Screenshots included, along with a few photos so you can see what the phone itself looks like. Link below, and sneak preview attached 😉️

#MobileLinux #Debian #Pocophone

So it turns out my intermittent audio issues on my #pocof1 running #postmarketos respond to percussive maintenance. My new theory is that the bulging battery pack is pressing on the speaker and making it buzz against its housing. I imagine I'd probably have better luck keeping the device outside the case, but the case is currently the most reliable source of power that isn't a direct connection to an outlet, so I'll just have to give it a gentle tap every once in a while lmao

A little change of plan.

i ported Parch Linux to #pocof1 once more, this time with the sensors support from pmos :)))
