the problem with sailfishos is that like- okay look the operative system itself is actually really good and i love the gesture based stuff + how apps automatically look cohesive based on your theme, but why does 70% of available native apps have to be vibe coded slop? it's always like "oh hey this could be neat" looks inside Claude has done all the commits and the app breaks down and dies completely at will #sailfishos #mobilelinux #linuxmobile

Gestern war ich bei den #Datenspuren und besuchte den sehr guten Vortrag von @knievelcat@fed.amazonawaws.com zum Thema wie man Mainline Linux auf sein Smartphone bekommt. Auf der Beitragsseite sind die Folien verlinkt. Die Idee eines gemeinsamen Treffens um an seinen Smartphones zu bauen finde ich gut. Wäre eine coole Sache. https://talks.datenspuren.de/ds26/talk/SLZS7B/ #postmarketos #linuxmobile #mobilelinux

@CoMaps@floss.social Nice. I quickly glanced through the slides at: https://pretalx.com/media/sotm2026/submissions/DDJRVU/resources/main_hwZxe1I.pdf If I find some time I will watch the whole video. I moved away from Android, fully to the #Librem5. Are there any plans to improve CoMaps on #MobileLinux?

I recently bought a #oneplus6 and successfully installed #postmarketos on it. However, the phone died a few hours later (black screen, responding only to EDL commands), and I couldn't reset it, even with MSM Download Tool. I managed to flash Android back but it won't restart. Do you think it's an error related to my installation or just bad luck ? I really want to try #mobilelinux, so should I buy another OnePlus 6 or 6T and try again ?

Now I could try to get the edgeTPU up and running on mainline, but it also runs a proprietary userspace for loading models etc.; So I did what the AI companies are doing, just on a much smaller scale: since I have root on Android, I can feed the model with a corpus of thumbnails and capture the created LTM grid. Doing that with ~1000 of my own RAW images and 3600 of Google’s open HDR plus dataset, I was able to distill the model into one that runs on CPU instead. #mobilelinux #pixel9a

Hardware video decoding works now. Firefox (non-ESR) with a patched ffmpeg (adding DRM Prime buffer support based on a patch from RPi) can now decode 4k60 without toasting the phone. Firefox ESR only does accelerated H264 #mobilelinux #pixel9a

postmarketOS ships an eSIM management app by @z3ntu@fosstodon.org and it turns out it is not too difficult to make it work with the Samsung modem #mobilelinux #pixel9a

I also adjusted the ModemManager plugin to expose both slots as their own modem instances and gnome control center actually handles this much better than I thought it would. Switching is a bit tricky, because only one can be active at a time and NetworkManager does not know about that. I have a slop patch that makes this work a little better, but I know that there’s funded work to improve dual SIM support overall, so looking forward to that! #mobilelinux #pixel9a

And since I slop-forked things anyway, I also experimented with a Android/iOS style dual sim indicator (top bar). Here’s the whole SIM switching in a screen recording. Doing that, I first ran into an issue with very choppy rendering while recording, which led me to my first upstream mesa contribution. Let’s see if it gets merged: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/44332 #mobilelinux #pixel9a

After one week of trying, I finally got suspend to RAM working, which I tried unsuccessfully months ago. Before, the only working suspend method was s2idle, so the CPU never fully turned off. Doing that, I also found a problem I introduced back then that caused UFS and serial to be flaky after resume, which is finally fixed now. What still causes issues is the Broadcom WiFi chip. It frequently dies shortly after resuming, even though it works fine for a bit… #mobilelinux #pixel9a

Hmm so overnight the phone went from 85% to 50% SoC (in ~10 hours). Looking at the logs, it tried to sleep 4 times and each time woke after ~90s. That’s probably the modem. What’s unexpected is that it did not try to sleep again afterwards until after I briefly turned the screen on. Is this a known issue with Phosh’s suspend handling? In comparison: downstream Android enters deep suspend seconds after locking if there’s no wake-lock active #mobilelinux #pixel9a

The good news is that I fixed the WiFi to still be powered in suspend and now it does not crash shortly after waking any more. So after the night everything still runs smoothly. There are still other non frequent WiFi crashes (about once in 24h idle), but other than that things are quite stable #mobilelinux #pixel9a

I’ve been looking into suspend lately and learned that there’s a small packet filter built specifically for Android in most WiFi chipsets. It’s called Android Packet Filter (https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/android-packet-filter) and it is what the Pixel 9a uses to keep WiFi connected without waking the CPU all the time for things like ARP, ICMP, IPV6 router advertisements etc.; In mainline, there’s WoWLAN, which is similar (more limited), but the BCM4383 tegu uses actually does not implement it. #mobilelinux #pixel9a

Since the code from AOSP is open source, I now have a minimal APF program that responds to ARP and ICMP for me during suspend. The phone now only wakes every ~90s because the modem tells it to. I measured a similar wakeup rate on Android, so let’s see how the battery drain over night will be. #mobilelinux #pixel9a

PINE64 stopped producing devices dependent on RAM/storage chips — so, for example, no more PinePhones. What did we lose? From a phone perspective not much. Low-end hardware with no software support from the vendor. To be fair, we did lose FOSS modem firmware — on a device that is hardly usable. Today, companies like Fairphone produce phones of far higher quality than the PinePhone or PinePhone Pro, while also supporting Linux kernel development for their devices. #MobileLinux #LinuxMobile
