Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,

After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.

We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )

Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.

The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.

[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

#digitalemuendigkeit with #debian on smartphones, aka #mobian . I was suprised that over 20 people joined yesterdays meetup and some brought their #linuxphones with them. People played around with #phosh #kdeplasma #mobian #postmarketos #Fairphone5 ..
Also thanks @awai for the #pinephonepro rental. It was used to present the slides and was flashed with #mobian trixie. People could choose between #lomiri, #phosh and #kdeplasma in the login manager.

You asked for system services written in #Vala, and even on phones?
We present #q6meowd, a service for correctly switching between speaker and earpiece audio output on incoming calls by @NekoCWD :
meowd: gitlab.postmarketos.org/NekoCW
#postmarketos MR: gitlab.postmarketos.org/postma
Previously the logic was written in #C, so isn't this an improvement? :D
Also if you are interested in how to write #ALSA and #DBUS code with Vala, I recommend looking into the sources!

Create Apps for *phones* with #Vala !??? Yes, of course, for #LinuxPhones!
Check out the #postmarketos wiki for supported devices, maybe yours works: wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Mai
You ask, which Vala apps already support phones? The answer is: Almost all that use #libadwaita!
1. Go with the #GNOME App template in #GNOMEBuilder
2. install the "qemu-user-static" package on your host
3. select ARM as target architecture and click the export bundle button in Builder
4. transfer it to the phone and run it!

Just in time for the new year, I made a repo on #Codeberg with the code I'm currently using to wake up my #PinePhone periodically and check emails and IMs.

codeberg.org/Silmathoron/pinep

It's really amateur work so if you have ideas to improve it (especially regarding the interactions with manual wake-ups), please get in touch :)

Should work on ManjaroARM and (I think) also on pmOS, no idea about Mobian.
