LINux on MOBile @linmob@fosstodon.org

According to the #PinePhone chat, Axolotl (the #Signal client) for #UbuntuTouch, is going to add a switch so it can run in qmlscene on @mobian (and likely all the other distributions) without the #UbuntuTouch system integrations.

https://LINMOBapps.frama.io has reached 200 apps today. And there are still a lot more apps to add! (Even if these are mainly unadjusted desktop apps that sort of work after tricks like scale-to-fit, they are worth adding, for the scale-to-fit IDs alone.) So nobody say again there are no apps for @PINE64 #PinePhone or @purism #Librem5!

I tried to improve the navigation on #LINMOBapps a bit for mobile. Check it out on your #PinePhone or #Librem5: https://linmobapps.frama.io

I played with #Convergence on @danct12’s #ArchLinuxARM on my @PINE64 #PinePhone today. Turning off the internal screen was enough to make it work. (Ignore the dock, it fails to work when a power source is connected.)

Distribution updates, #bleedingtooth, new #PinePhone accessories, a new #SailfishOS release and more.

This pull request on the flutter project makes me hopeful we might see #flutter apps on #LinuxonMobile on #PinePhone and #Librem5 sooner than later: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/61221
#FOSS apps like #fluffychat-flutter are worth it alone, and this might help bringing a few others over, too.

#Phoc and @plasmamobile updates, #Fedora Mobility, “Fund Your App” and more!

One more browser I can now test on my @PINE64 #PinePhone: #LiriBrowser

I wasn't able to record the video yesterday (lacked energy), and won't be able to make a video until next thursday because of "family matters".

So if you want me to look at anything in particular or have any questions about #SailfishOS on the @PINE64 #Pinephone, please @ me!

If you are interested in reading #ebooks on the @PINE64 #PinePhone or @purism #Librem5 or any other #MobileLinux device (e.g. with @postmarketOS), #Foliate (https://johnfactotum.github.io/foliate/) is a great option.

Have a look at it: https://nitter.net/linmobblog/status/1314079080145448961#m

In a recent voting, #SailfishOS got the most votes for my next @PINE64 #PinePhone video. I was going to make it today, but now "Privacy & Security Tips" have https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1t4njImIXI made a good one. Should I still spend time on this?

I tried using GNOME 3.38 on @mobian (installed with F2FS on eMMC and really fast) on my @PINE64 #PinePhone earlier today. I wonder if there is a secret trick to get #convergence (as in using an HDMI display as a second screen) to work; I could not figure it out unfortunately (yet).

New blog post: Building Software from the #AUR, Part 2: #Reddit clients for the #PinePhone https://linmob.net/2020/10/06/reddit-clients-for-mobile-linux.html

Last night I figured “what could possibly go wrong” and build/installed Squeekboard straight from git on my #PinePhone. It took a while and this morning I am like: I miss that working software keyboard I had yesterday. #fails

Tired of bad scaling in #Anbox making parts of your favorite Android app unusable on @PINE64 #PinePhone?
TechWizz in the @danct12 ArchLinuxARM on PinePhone group has a solution: “adb shell wm overscan 0,35,0,35”

Autofocus support, further #Lomiri images and more.

Had to reinstall #Manjaro #Lomiri as upgrading it yesterday broke my previous install. Now, with the new install, I can't get the GTK window shadows to disappear. :( #PinePhone
