LINux on MOBile
linmob@fosstodon.org@Oleksii I guess that you will need to try this MR to get it working: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/5821
@z3ntu Awesome work!

@z3ntu @postmarketOS How well does postmarketos work on the fairphone 5 anyway? Do android apps tend to work fine using waydroid?
I'm actually getting a fairphone 5 soon!

z3ntu@fosstodon.org@sashin Quite well, see the Features sidebar on https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp5)
But there's still some things missing, so don't expect to daily drive it or be without problems. Also not sure about the battery life.

@z3ntu If it's possible could you educate me a bit?
How can I run it?
I am full time web developer I already knows something 😃
I got a link to a PR, but I haven't worked with this type of sources yet.
Thank you.

@z3ntu @pojntfx @postmarketOS I don’t get it. It has a camera?

@moehrenfeld This is using mainline kernel and no proprietary blobs, the only way the camera works on the Android stack is with a bunch of proprietary blobs.

dala@dalaran.fr@z3ntu @postmarketOS Wow, that's insane ! If the audio is implemented, I would happily buy a FP5 to daily drive it with pmOS 😁

z3ntu@fosstodon.org@dala Yes, audio is the last big functionality missing after this, then it's only smaller things like NFC and haptics.
Daily driveability (i.e. reliability) is another hurdle though :)

dala@dalaran.fr@z3ntu I saw that the current battery life may have some issues, but is there anything else ? I mean something that make the phone unreliable for a daily usage.

z3ntu@fosstodon.org@dala I know USB has quite some instabilities so very quickly when replugging the connection between laptop and device will stop working. And for the most part I've never attempted to use the phone in a bit more daily driver setting, I was just working on feature bringup

@z3ntu @postmarketOS that battery percentage could tell stories 😀

z3ntu@fosstodon.org@dieTasse I didn't boot up the ADSP for the video, that's why there's no battery percentage reported, and the UI displaying 0%.

@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.
