Things learned on the way: Don't use pmbootstrap install (without the --sdcard option) on a ZFS system, it may fail inexplicably. Flash with pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs with the --partition-userdata option on this device. Never give up!

Also, the standard kernel does lack touchscreen support, but there is an image on the issue tracker that can be booted with fastboot.

Impressions:
Keyboard tiny, but really fast!

Major performance improvements coming to the #PinePhone thanks to work by Ondrej Jirman (megi).
Video shows UI performance of

The allwinner kernel (#pinephone, #pinetab) was updated to megi's 5.9.1 tree in #postmarketOS edge. Lots of great improvements, including the long-awaited HDMI fix, improved call quality (thx smaeul!), and no 30s wait for modem on shutdown. @PINE64 https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/1614

The first photo taken on a #pinephone that's focussed.

Now I have a WIP kernel branch with OV5640 autofocus working

When you install a new app on your smartphone this way, something smells really good.

Adventures of porting postmarketOS to the Librem 5

"I’ve been longing to drop the shackles of Android ever since I made the decision to stop using my Nokia N900. Nokia had given up on Linux phones, and it was clear that there would be no further security patches for my favorite smartphone of all time. "

Got some speedups in the megapixels app for the #pinephone

This is with the rear camera running at 1080p, it can also do 5MP but that halves the framerate.

Tux is posing in his big shoe for the @PINE64 #PinePhone camera on #postmarketOS. Oh and the selfie cam works too! It's a bit slow and needs more work of course, but #megapixels from @martijnbraam is a good start. It's in postmarketOS edge in a few hours, and in ~1 day on stable.
