EDIT: Thanks to someone commenting with an invite to the GrapheneOS discord server, this has been figured out! the terminal app doesn't work with a VPN enabled right now.

Is anyone else who uses #grapheneos having trouble with the new Terminal app not loading the terminal when the app launches? I will go to settings, enable developer options, enable the Linux shell, let the app install, open the Terminal app, install the dependencies and whatever else makes up the ~800MB of data that it asks me to confirm I want to download at first launch, and then I just get an eternal "Loading the terminal" page on the first tab in the app. I have tried reinstalling/re-enabling it several times, and at this point I have given up and installed Termux to satisfy my itch for a terminal on my phone. I'd appreciate any help, I just went to the @GrapheneOS website and looked for a section of the issue tracker that might cover it and couldn't see any that might, and I also went to the "Contact" section, and couldn't find a way to contact them or even post to a community for support. I love the OS overall, and this is the one and only issue I have had, and I would love to get it fixed or for them to release a patch fix for it eventually. Thanks!

in an attempt to achieve the highest app compatibility known to man, i ended up writing a daemon that allows to install, configure and run #UbuntuTouch applications on our beloved #flx1 and it actually turned out pretty nice.

this is yet another service/client setup where now the store server is refactored to work alongside android-store (used to install android apps) to lower memory usage and the client is a #GNOME software plugin

after many days of work, here is another functional demo of #GNOME shell running on the secondary display connected to the #flx1. it took many hours to build the app and make everything act nice and not crash and integrate cleanly. still a long way to go but i think it is a good time to showcase the progress in the past 7 days.

i hope to get this ready and done by 13.0.9 which is the next release but obviously no promises.

With @furilabs latest release they added in a pretty big UX improvement for folks that need android apps. There is now a gnome software plugin that will let you interface with fdroid apps as if it was native. This removes the need to open up fdroid to install applications or update them. You can now manage all that in a single place. Here's a recording of me installing pixelix android app via gnome software. Its got kinks but the idea is great!

So I lost my jingpad when I moved in 2022. I just found it. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket is I can put on it? Ideally I'd like it to be Linux, not Android. It's starting to look like my options are cybersecurity nightmare, or paperweight.

Boosts appreciated!

so yes the rumors are correct (this was leaked on reddit a few days ago, oh well)

the #FLX1 will be getting support for hooking up to external displays. the difference here compared to other approaches is that it will be running full #GNOME shell instead of #Phosh desktop mode (with some integration). as much as we love Phosh, GNOME shell simply provides a superior experience on a large display (and our community members voted for this too)

I sent my OnePlus 6 focus driver upstream .

And some random cat came to pay his respects, I guess. Photo taken on a OnePlus 6 running @postmarketOS

Question to my fellow FOSS devs: do you have a recommendation for ordering hex stickers? (preferably in the EU)

My @furilabs #FLX1 Linux phone arrived just in time for the holidays. I love it. It instantly became my daily driver.

Welp, I can confirm that cell broadcast warnings do not work on my @postmarketOS OnePlus 6T.
I wonder if anyone in the #LinuxMobile community has already began implementing it?

However, to my very surprise, my Pixel 4a with @GrapheneOS still received the warning without a SIM card?! Huuuuuh?!

Either way, I have been warned.

Current status: updating postmarketOS on the Pinephone Pro. #Linux #LinuxOnMobile

Ce dimanche 01/10, je serai avec Toulibre à la médiathèque José Cabanis de #Toulouse pour présenter et parler de @mobian et #LinuxMobile en général

Le programme : https://www.bibliotheque.toulouse.fr/wp-content/extra-bib/Apres-midi-du-libre-1_10_2023.pdf

En espérant vous y voir nombreux !

#Volla yggdrasil (original #VollaPhone, left) and mimameid (#VollaPhone22, right) powered by #MediaTek MT6763V and MT6769Z SoCs respectively are now both booting close to #mainline #Linux #kernel v6.1-rc5 and #postmarketOS over USB netboot with #Sxmo :)

Huge thanks to @eriki73 and Luka Panio for contributing to the ports as well! Here's hoping this is the beginning of more MediaTek mainline devices that aren't just Chromebooks
