postmarketOS @postmarketOS@fosstodon.org

Just dropped my phone for the 256th time and the glass finally cracked. Looks pretty bad, there are splinters coming out, etc.

Guess it's finally time to move on. I had a Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge which served me surprisingly well for five years (thanks to /e/ OS from @efoundation for the software support while it lasted).

Anyway, I just ordered a #SHIFT6mq from @shiftphones. Super excited! The recent @postmarketOS news definitely influenced my decision:

hey hey, the SDM845 kernel fork in @postmarketOS just got upgraded to 5.19 😎

Finally adding speaker support for the 6T and enabling the OnePlus 6 notification LED! Let me know if you've given it a spin

Samsung Galaxy Tab 9.7" and postmarketOS: building a custom image

Part 2 of my adventure of installing @postmarketOS on a 2015 tablet. I built some custom images (easy!) to have full disk encryption, and experimented with different desktop environments.

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (28/2022): New Manjaro betas, #SailfishOS supporting VoLTE and RkVDEC progress

https://linmob.net/weekly-update-28-2022/

#pinephone #pinephonepro #librem5

here's a demo and overview of the state of #Linux mainline on the #Pixel3 right now, I haven't tested the modem but mobile data and SMS should work. It'll be in @postmarketOS soon!

I just realized something neat:

tl;dr: it's easy to add a recovery image

now that the #librem5 can boot from SD card with #postmarketOS, it's much harder for me to "brick" my phone. yay!

I can keep an install of pmOS on the SD card, that can be booted if I break the main install on eMMC. and from there, I can fix the main install.

I can do all of this without having to touch the SD card because the #librem5 will always boot from eMMC. holding Vol- will tell u-boot to load things from SD.
