Calling for submissions to the FOSS on Mobile devroom at #FrOSCon 2025 in slightly under a month!

You can find the description and instructions below in english and german.

Looking forward to seeing you!

In case you missed the last #GNOME foundation update: we're excited to share that we have officially joined the @gnome advisory board! We hope this will help us bring more attention to the #LinuxMobile effort and let us make GNOME on postmarketOS even better across all form factors.

Added a note to the #postmarketOS wiki on the current state of camera auto-focus support in #libcamera by @NekoCWD and OnePlus6 https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/OnePlus_6_(oneplus-enchilada)#Libcamera

Uh, I just took a call on my postmarketOS OnePlus 6 and it just worked?!

I'm going on a 4 day vacation to the north sea tomorrow and I think I'm taking the @postmarketOS phone.

The 25.06 release is the one where finally everything clicks into place for me. It's super stable. I can even take pictures! Not the prettiest, but good enough to capture memories.

We did a small #embedded #Linux hackfest in #Prague Karlín! We moved forward with upstreaming #Pixel3 , we tested #Pixel3XL ability to boot and started working towards OLED enablement, we discussed #Camera (both #libcamera and #libobscura ) on #LinuxMobile phones #postmarketOS with @pavel

When going to higher display resolutions in #phosh #stevia's can become a bit small to type with (as our s usually don't adjust to display size). I've thus cooked up an MR that allows to keep the physical size of the OSK constant (in portrait mode for now).

On top of that one can add a "dead zone" at the bottom of the OSK which helps on taller devices like the #OP6 as the otherwise tends to tilt when typing on the bottom row.

For me this is a typing speed booster.

Speaking of great things for Linux Mobile that @nlnet and @NGIZero are funding:

One of them is the OpenIMSD project, which has the goal of getting VoLTE on Qualcomm based phones working with postmarketOS, @mobian and all other Linux (Mobile) distributions.

As a precursor to that, we need to be able to create VoLTE-related QMI traces from Android phones. @lynxis figured out a good method and wrote a blog post about it:

We usually learn a lot about this on conferences but let's try it here as well:

If you're daily driving #phosh we're keen to here on which phone (or other device)? Which distro do you use and which phosh version are you currently running?
