#phosh

Has anyone made a child friendly device using #postmarketos ? Ie: no login process, only shows a limited number of curated apps, ideally can only go from showing app menu to one of the apps and back. The #Phosh interface and experience looks more complicated than I was hoping for.

finally doing the experiment of daily driving #phosh on #postmarketos with fractal for #matrix meshy for #meshcore parla for #deltachat

Ein kleiner Test mit den #achrylicons von @mondstern@mastodon.green auf dem @furilabs@fosstodon.org FLX1s Phone. Die Icons machen echt Laune und bringen ein bisschen Artsy Touch auf das Phone. Kleiner Hinweis. Das mitgelieferte install.sh Skript kennt die Iconlocation beim mobilen Linux nicht. Deshalb ist Handarbeit angesagt. 😋 Zu laden gib es das Icon Pack hier: 🌀 https://codeberg.org/mondstern/Acrylicons #linux #icons #mastoart #phosh #phoshmobi #furios #furiphoneflx1s

Severe weather in the area recently, and my OnePlus 6T phone running #postmarketos received the cell broadcast alert! Certainly many to thank for this feature being available on #mobilelinux, including @phosh@social.phosh.mobi @postmarketOS@social.treehouse.systems and many more I don't even know. #phosh #duranium

@nek@hear-me.social#PamDuress [1] is a small #LGPL package, looks serious and well-written, developed since 2021, though should be checked by people with infosec experience. Fork for #phosh [2]. Up to the user to write or choose "duress" scripts - not necessarily deleting anything - could be emailing an alert or audio/photo files to a trusted address. Should be usable on any GNU/Linux desktop/laptop/phone for people whose threat model needs this. [1] https://github.com/nuvious/pam-duress [2] https://github.com/Sirr-OS/phosh-pam-duress

Glad to see that @purism@social.librem.one is moving towards newer #Phosh: https://mastodon.social/@janvlug/117019346492638287 #LinuxMobile

Arch Linux ARM / Ports for @pine64@social.treehouse.systems #PinePhone / #PinePhonePro / #PineTab2 (2026/06/30) has released. https://codeberg.org/DanctNIX/Pine64-Arch/releases/tag/20260630 #danctnix #pine64 #phosh #kde #sxmo

Diesen Sommer kehren die vergessenen Telefone aus den Schubladen zurück. Ihr habt ein altes Smartphone in der Schublade, benutzt es nicht mehr und kommt zur #froscon2026 ? Wir nehmen viele Modelle gerne um ihnen neues Leben einzuhauchen. Danach benutzen wir sie als Vorführmodelle mit #Phosh oder geben sie an unsere Entwickler weiter um damit #LinuxMobile voran zu bringen. Bringt sie gerne bei unserem Stand auf der @FrOSCon@bonn.social vorbei. Modelle wie OnePlus 6(T), Pocophone F1, SHIFT6mq und andere Modelle mit SDM845 Prozessor sind prima. Gerne auch das Pixel 3A (XL). Falls ihr euch nicht sicher seit, einfach hier fragen oder auf Verdacht mitnehmen. #Phosh #LinuxMobile

Beginning day of daily driving my PinePhone Pro (1) – 18/07/2026 Today I start my journey daily driving the PinePhone Pro for a month. I started by asking abcde and xmn from the PINE64 chatrooms which distro I should use. I personally wanted to use something different so I was personally thinking either Mobian or Arch Linux/DanctNIX. In the end we decided that I will use Mobian with Phosh as the distro I will use for the month. After I finished installing Mobian to the internal storage, I had switched some settings around (pin, timezone, etc). While doing that, I accidentally disabled cellular networking in Gnome settings. Around five minutes after this I tried calling the PinePhone Pro from my main phone and it failed as both devices went to voicemail immediately. I fixed this by rebooting the device, I tested on both PostmarketOS edge and the latest Mobian weekly image afterwards and calls worked no problem. Some initial observations is how hot the device gets from doing nothing. The RK3399S found in the PinePhone Pro is a binned variant of the SOC in the PineBook Pro (less power usage and better thermals). Even after binning, the power usage is high (3.0W-4.0W idle) and the device is constantly hot. While I was setting this all up, it had been around 35 minutes. Battery life went from 70% to 17% within that time. The performance however is good, I am happy with how web browsing and general navigation feel. Web browsing hitches a little bit, but once the page loads scrolling is smooth on Firefox. So far I have installed Tuba for managing the PINE64 community Mastodon on the go, Telegram for online messaging, Speech Note for voice to text notes, Pure Maps for navigation, LocalSend for file transfer and FreeTube for watching stuff. That’s about it, I’m going to bed. See you next log! #pine64 #pinephone #pinephonepro #mobilelinux #linuxmobile #mobian #phosh

Currently there is no way for applications to get or set the screen orientation on #linuxmobile #wayland. This results in things like not being able to take landscape pictures using the camera or games not having the correct orientation. I created a RFC wayland protocol to implement this. If you have ideas or opinions about this please leave them in the pull request below: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/524 #postmarketos #phosh

On my way to #fsfe25 in Krakow. Currently showing my newly flashed #mobian phone running #phosh to my co-workers @Tobias and @anaghz@social.tchncs.de . @Tobias 's first check was, if you can install #doom (yes, you can 🤗)

Got Phosh's immutable BengalOS to boot on a Google Pixel 3A. There's quiet a bit of work left to make that usable but I'm already looking forward to try some of Phosh's features for immutable on a real device rather than a VM image. This is only possible due to the immense work of @mobian@fosstodon.org and @postmarketOS@social.treehouse.systems . #Phosh #BengalOS #LinuxMobile #immutable #mkosi

phosh 0.56.0 is out 🚀📱: There's new features - most notably for immutable OSes, 🐛 fixes and improvements. Check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.56.0/ for details or see 👇 for a short 🧵 🙏 to everyone who contributed to this release. #phosh #gtk #wlroots #gnome #linux #mobile #LinuxMobile #Librem5 #PinePhone #Duranium #BengalOS

Phosh now support's hiding and disabling applications. This is useful on immutable systems where software from the base images can't be uninstalled: #phosh #LinuxMobile #immutable 1/x

There's also a new load meter status bar plugin now. The UI in mobile settings to enable & disable status bar plugins isn't written yet (any takers?) so to enable it already you can use: gsettings set mobi.phosh.shell.plugins status-icons "['load-meter-status-icon']" #phosh #statusbar #plugins 2/x

There were several important bug fixes in the shell around application startup feedback. There's also good news for tablet users: the lockscreen can now be used in landscape mode on those devices too: #phosh #lockscreen 3/x
