Great progress, Congrats.
I have same set up, but no camera found
@Oleksii @z3ntu @postmarketOS Does external display work? Have you tried hooking it up with a usbc dock to hdmi?
@saligari @Oleksii @postmarketOS Yes, Fairphone 5 works fine there.
Fairphone 4 is WIP, it works with a special kernel branch but currently the phone will stop charging with that since it touches some Type-C bits and there's no charger driver, but otherwise also there it works.
@z3ntu @Oleksii @postmarketOS I'm thinking of buying an almost new fp5 for 350€. How easy is it to dualboot the phone? Thinking of using it as a daily driver with android but want to be able to use a proper os plugged in an external monitor.
@saligari @Oleksii @postmarketOS It's possible to dual-boot but it's not particularly simple or elegant. You can have e.g. Android on Slot A, then postmarketOS boot.img on slot B which then boots from SD card for example. To switch you need to connect the phone to a computer and run fastboot --set-active=a (or =b). And OTA updates from Android either won't work or will overwrite the postmarketOS slot.
@z3ntu @Oleksii @postmarketOS Ah ok, not great then. Thanks for the answer!!
@saligari @Oleksii @postmarketOS Dual booting on any Android phone will be somewhat similar. I know the SHIFT6mq has added some extra features to the bootloader to be able to switch slots without a computer but still probably OTA updates will use the 2nd slot to apply the updates
There's just no place for an essentially 3rd Installation.
