#PostmarketOS: #expressatt: converting expressatt to a generic device

i'm liking the idea of a generic device encapsulating all devices in an arch. there are now generic pkgs for x86_64 and ppc64le with aarch64 in the pipeline

decided to open a pr (but more like an rfc) for how to do the same for armv7

https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/9490

input welcome!

side note: there's also an idea to make an arch-agnostic generic device pkg. i think this is a great idea too

📸 Wow, rejoice! The Fairphone 6 now boasts a "working" main camera on PostmarketOS—because nothing screams innovation like finally catching up to 2010's camera quality standards! 😂 But hey, at least they're acknowledging the graininess; maybe one day they'll discover the magic of JPEG alternatives! 📷✨

@shortwavesurfer @sbeak It looks like the following devices can work out for you and all ship to the US afaik:
1. #FLX1s from @furilabs
2. #LibertyPhone from @purism or the lower-spec #Librem5 if you don't need Waydroid
3. #MechaComet from @mechasystems who tested two LTE modems with it recently.

I daily drive a Librem 5 with #PureOS and #postmarketOS so feel free to ask about the experience.

🤖 #Android Based:
🎖️Pros: Best app compatibility (Signal, Banking, Maps).
☔️Cons: Still tied to the Android ecosystem structure.

🐧 #Linux Based:
🎖️Pros: True freedom from Google. More secure code base.
☔️Cons: App compatibility is harder: use "Anbox" or "AlienDalvik" layers, or find native Linux apps.

I'm super-excited that the #LinuxOnMobile stand will be returning to #FOSDEM in 2026!

Last year we had an amazing experience meeting fellow enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

This year we plan to have even more phones, devices and distros for you to play with.

We're not the only FOSS/mobile stand and with any luck we'll be close together like last year.

Dear Fediverse,

Do you have a podcast you would be happy having archived?

I've been working on a mad project combining #cyberdecks #homelab mini racks and #recycling old tech. I'm in the process of writing it all up so hopefully will publish soon.
It means I've got a portable low power pseudo-server cluster which would work well as an archive - I recently read that podcasts are at risk of disappearing and while #internetarchive does a wonderful job I thought it would be fun to have another archive.

Let me know if you are interested! I only want to host podcasts if given permission

#archive #solarpunk #solarpanels #postmarketos #podcast

Mobile Linux Stand at #OpenAlt
#postmarketOS, #NemoMobile, #Droidian, #AsteroidOS, #SailfishOS

I'm not sure why I do it but I'm working on a slightly crazy project and a small part of that involves installing @postmarketOS on a Samsung A5 2017 (a5y17lte) which I got off eBay for £7 as it had a shattered screen.

Cue a rabbit hole for the last 4 days where I have wrestled the pmbootstrap, solved a bug which has stopped many downstream devices working recently, and then learnt all about adb sideloading and #twrp and #lineageos and finally today I have an installation of #postmarketos running connected over usbnet.

I don't know why I do it to myself... Now to write it up as don't want to have to relearn that all again

I got dualboot of #postmarketOS and #AsteroidOS working on my Fossil Gen 6 (hoki)!

#lk2nd is installed to boot partition and #postmarketOS is flashed to userdata partition.
#AsteroidOS kernel is installed to recovery and rootfs flashed to the system partition.

That way I am flexible to re-flash eather system without getting trouble with the other one!

https://my-place.social/display/e599373b-7168-6c62-c6a3-b86258671760

As I understand it, full disk encryption currently does not work with #PostmarketOS, at least with v24.12. (pmbootstrap-installation with FDE does not boot on my PinephonePro...)

As a Plan B I tried to set up #ecryptfs but the kernel module is missing.

Does anybody have a good solution for encrypting at least home on @postmarketOS?

I am looking into getting my #PinephonePro in a state so that it can be used as a daily driver but encryption is mandatory then of course...

postmarketOS 24.06 released: Linux-based OS supports dozens of phones, tablets, laptops and now just about any PC with an x86_64 processor

PostmarketOS is a Linux-based operating that got its start as a project to breathe new life into old phones by offering software that would continue to be updated long after phone makers end support for their devices. But the latest release isn’t just for smartphones. It also supports a number of tablets and single-board computers, as well as Chromebooks and […]
