My second #postmarketOS mainline port (Xiaomi Mi 5) is in. Still quite early due to limited SoC support, but most basic things should work. Enjoy 🎉

#osk-sdl 0.65 is out, and adds support for disabling the on-screen keyboard for devices with physical keyboards!

I'm working on some changes for #postmarketos
to automatically call osk-sdl appropriately when a keyboard is/isn't present.

did some hacking, proof of concept: "your UI crashed in @postmarketOS ? no problem just hit volume down + power and you'll get dumped in a TTY!"

coming soon???

Working on pmos backups :)

Alright, its official! You can now download prebuilt @postmarketOS images for the #OnePlus 6/T! AND on top of that, kernel updates will work exactly the same way as a normal distro.

@Fairphone The key insight from the fairphone "experiment" is that you can't have a sustainable phone without sustainable (read: free) software. The best repair options won't help if you can't get firmware updates (as seen dramatically with the FP1). I posted an article back in 2019 on this topic:

I wish the next #fairphone will be based on freedom-friendly hardware and will finally replace Android with one of the truly sustainable alternatives such as #postmarketos.

Using pmOS #plasmamobile on the OnePlus 6! Performance is quite good, and works great in browsing and listening to music through Elisa. Thanks for audio support @calebccff 😄

How often do you use #postmarketOS?
