  1. @elly
    I saw you mention the possibility of using #postmarketOS to simulate USB mass storage devices, since it doesn't have Android's restrictions on what you can do with the USB interface: but the pmOS wiki doesn't seem to have any finished applications for doing this (just an overview of the "USB Gadget" function).

    Would be a good usecase for all those phones where USB works, but the other components don't have proper support yet.

    (i'd also ask how the transfer speeds compare to a good USB3 SSD, but frankly I'd be grateful to never have to juggle USB drives or use chainloader nonsense like Ventoy)
  2. I recently bought a #oneplus6 and successfully installed #postmarketos on it. However, the phone died a few hours later (black screen, responding only to EDL commands), and I couldn't reset it, even with MSM Download Tool. I managed to flash Android back but it won't restart. Do you think it's an error related to my installation or just bad luck ? I really want to try #mobilelinux, so should I buy another OnePlus 6 or 6T and try again ?

  3. For people who still maintain digital music collections: what do you use to manage your music collection and get either all of a subset of it onto your mobile device of choice? I'm particularly interested in iOS-compatible options that don't require a Mac, or solutions that help motivate dogfooding a #PostmarketOS solution.

  4. Habe heute am bundesweiten Warntag auch das erste mal eine Probewarnung bekommen auf mein Linux Telefon. Danke an die Entwickler:innen.

    Und bei diesem Toot gerade die Mehrfachauswahl von Dateien verwendet. Das ist ein neues Feature von Phosh 0.57. Auch zum ersten mal. Auch hier Danke an die Entwickler:innen.

    Ein guter Tag heute :)

  5. Okaaay, survived the first day, here is the summary:

    - Got 2 incoming calls with working audio
    - Emergency cell broadcast worked
    - Browsing with 4G and Firefox very nice
    - Chatty did not sync Matrix messages from 4G, only wifi
    - Had to do one hard reboot because the login screen malfunctioned
    - Battery duration was approx. 12h with medium usage
    - Pretty nice handwarmer, though

    #postmarketos #phosh #linuxmobile #mobilelinux

  6. cell broadcast works on #postmarketos (didn't expect that, but good to know as I started daily driving it on my personal phone half a year ago)

  7. I recently got an #AppleWatch to help improve my sleep quality. I've also been wearing it on daily walks, and when meeting people.

    But with the news that Apple Watch is becoming a creeper device, I don't want to appear to endorse that, nor be insensitive, by wearing it around others.

    So the Apple Watch is staying at home now

    And I'm feeling more urge to move from #iPhone, to a more privacy-respecting device. Probably back to #GrapheneOS. But viable #PostmarketOS with #Phosh would be nice.

  8. GrapheneOS is slop, blah blah blah... i know, i'd like to do something about it

    codeberg.org/posthardenedOS specifically this, it's supposed to be postmarketOS (duranium) but hardened

    the issue is that the project has barely started and i dropped it for now

    i'm mediocre at cybersec at best and would need some help with the project (i.e. port linux-hardened, make SELinux policies, sandboxing, systems hardenings, etc.) just to keep the project rolling as i feel i'm not enough to get this job done properly

    anybody interested? pls contact

    #postmarketos #posthardenedos #grapheneos #mobilelinux #slop

  9. I'm thinking about offering some informal mentoring to someone who wants to get into #postmarketOS development (packaging, #duranium) or other projects I'm heavily involved with. I've been contributing to pmOS for a while, and I'm happy to help someone get unstuck. In return I'd ask for patience (I make mistakes and I don't have infinite time), and some self-motivation and comfort with Linux, the command line, and git. Would anyone be interested in this?

  10. Hello I'm calling you from Linux 7.1.0-rc1-sdm845 and all I had to do was putting a SIM card into the sim slot.

    #postmarketOS is just insane nowadays

  11. Had a dream last night that I accidentally stuck a USB drive with a postmarketOS Duranium experimental ISO into my laptop and it did part of the install before I realized what was happening.

  13. There is an upcoming conference in Dec in #London that would be great if we could get a talk about #GTK on android. It's a neat little 2 day conference.

    Hoping you'll get the videos of the PostmarketOS conference up on Peertube!

  15. I wish there was a crowdfunding campaign somewhere to get a reasonably modern phone up and running reliably with real Linux.

    I'm talking something with PostmarketOS / Mobian + Phosh/Plasma Mobile / Gnome Mobile and the basics made reliable:
    * wifi
    * mobile data
    * calls
    * suspend/wake
    * camera

    Maybe make Waydroid integration a stretch goal, but not a core requirement.

    I would gladly throw a bunch of money at something with the promise to get the basics to work reliably.

    Maybe the issue isn't money, but it sure seems like pooling funding for some of the highly talented people working in the space couldn't hurt.

    Anyone know of anything like this?

  18. Okay, hi everyone

    This weekend, after a random toot from @alice in my TL, I found myself in a rabbit hole to enhance and create an iOS 6 theme for GTK4. It's not much, it has some rough edges, but damn it looks so cool, and I'm so proud of this!!

    If you wanna help with design or add icons, please feel free to do so!

  20. Anyone have recent experience with the PineTab2?

    Usability when running pmos or some other distro?

  21. This took me quite a bit of time, but I managed to boot postmarketOS on a currently unsupported devboard (commonly available for €25-30 where I live).

    Little bit proud, but it's not a proper port yet, I ripped the kernel and other parts of the pre-init bootchain (fip.bin, u-boot, ...) from a pre-made Debian image for that device. I have a (mostly working) APKBUILD for that device's userland though. :)

  22. I'm travelling today and #GNOMEMobile just did the 100% CPU usage thing, clean-shaving 20% off my precious battery life.

    This issue: gitlab.gnome.org/verdre/gnome-

    Debating either doing nothing & hoping it will last or spending time trying to finally switch to #phosh. As much as I like GNOME Mobile and gave it a shot for 3 months, this is a total dealbreaker for me :(

  23. Blogged about running Linux on my phone, the user experience, and the ecosystem that comes with it. Extremely excited about this!

  25. 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 […]

  26. Lilbits: Phosh 0.50.0, unofficial Windows Subsystem for FreeBSD, and Google Japan’s impractical keyboards

    Some folks at Google Japan have a habit of designing impractical keyboards. A few years ago we saw a single-row keyboard with every letter, number and character laid out along a 5.4 foot strip. There are also Teacup, bubble wrap, and spoon bending keyboards, among others.

    Now the company has introduced its latest horribly inconvenient keyboard: the Gboard Dial Version is made of rotary dials […]

  27. I'm seriously impressed by how beautiful and polished GNOME Mobile is. For me, it's the current winner for the best Linux smartphone UI.

    What's your favorite mobile Linux interface?

  29. @esoteric_programmer nice! I unfortunately missed that era, as my family had "only" a Nokia 1100 at home, but I read about them later. I wish and its kind were still a thing (well, maybe and are the modern equivalents?)

    There's a matrix client for called chooj, developed by @farooqkz

  30. postmarketOS 25.06 brings systemd to the mobile Linux distribution, as well as updates to three user interfaces: GNOME 48, KDE Plasma Mobiule 6.35, and Phosh 0.47.0, a new wallpaper, and other changes. postmarketos.org/blog/2025/06/

  31. Is anyone using the #cameractrl overlay on #postmarketos #gnomemobile ? I'm trying to use it on my #oneplus6 but I don't understand how is it supposed to work: in the screenshot on github (https://gitlab.com/NekoCWD/cameractrl) I see it superimposed on the camera app screen, but if I launch the camera and then the overlay, I see the desktop background instead of the camera app...

  32. Secondo voi visto l'andazzo delle ROM alternative causa #bigG ci sarà "un'impennata" nel settore mobile per gli OS open #linux come #plasmamobile #ubports #postmarketos #gnomemobile ecc? Porterà qualche dev in piú che svilupperà app specifiche? Magari un impennata cosi grande da portare grandi realtà a sviluppare app come io 🤣🤣🤣 da meta post sto vaneggiando 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  33. Lilbits: A weird new AI phone, Apple refreshes the MacBook Air, Intel Arrow Lake goes business-class, and postmarketOS is looking for a new name

    Would you be willing to grant a smartphone with access to huge amounts of personal date in order to develop a personalized AI assistant that an help you get things done? Arguably that’s something you may already be doing if you’re using an Android phone, but a startup called Newnal is taking things to a new level with a phone that not only generates an AI avatar that you can communicate […]

  34. Is anyone else experiencing missing icons on postmarketos gnome mobile? Boosts appreciated!

    EDIT: I was able to resolve this by switching my icon theme to hicolor, then back to adwaita via gnome tweaks.

    Thanks everyone!

  35. Finally got around to replace #GnomeMobile with #Phosh on my OnePlus 6T with #postmarketOS. Thanks to @agx and @linuxmobile for the hints. I expected to just add the postmarketos-ui-phosh package but it complained about some conflicts. I had to manually del some postmarketos-ui-gnome-mobile packages and dependencies before I could add phosh.

    nerdculture.de/@fluchtkapsel/1

    While doing this I also did a postmarketos-release-upgrade. It's not really end user friendly at the moment but I consider pmOS still in development. After the reboot, I encountered a "Qualcomm Crashdump Mode" message for the first time in my life. A little disturbing, tbh, but after resetting the phone booted into tinydm+phosh as planned.

    While GNOME Mobile isn't bad on a small screen, phosh is a little bit more optimized. I could imagine to give GNOME Mobile another try on my Mi Pad 5.

  36. Linux mobile people, you can make decent screen recordings with Kooha. So share some videos, and let's demonstrate how amazing Linux smartphones are! Settings that work best for me on OnePlus 6t are mp4 + 30fps. #postmarketos #gnomemobile #mobilelinux

  37. PostmarketOS 24.12 is a mobile OS with a mainline Linux kernel. It brings initial support for using cameras on some phones (Pixel 3A, Fairphone 5, and Pocophone F1), UI updates, an updated wallpaper, and other improvements. buff.ly/3DuDRX6

    Soirée libérons nos smartphones

    9 personnes se réunissent pour cette première expérimentation. Nous avons plusieurs smartphones volontaires.

    Laurent de @yauternet nous fait une présentation de l'état de l'art de #Linux sur #smartphone.

    Nous nous lançons ensuite dans les installations.

    Bilan: 1 téléphone qui démarre sous #UBports (anciennement Ubuntu touch), 2 téléphones qui progressent vers #postmarketos.

    Et qui ont fini par démarrer avec le nouveau système après encore quelques travaux.

    Très enrichissant à refaire.
