Dear distro maintainers and "i build my own stuff" people:

In case you want to check out 0.47 relesase upfront: we've tagged the first releases candidates (0.47~rc1) of #phosh and related components

Release is planned 2025-05-18 (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/wikis/Releases)

We've also tagged the companion releases for #gmobile 0.3.0 and #feedbackd 0.8.2 / feedbackd-device-themes 0.8.3 already.

With the alarm clock waking the phone from suspend we still need to make sure the alarm sound is audible. We thus need it to have a volume level separate from e.g. media, notifications, calls, etc. This is possible with #wireplumber's "role based policy". There's a lot of lose ends to fix before this all can land but here's a quick demo in #phosh (the alarm sound your is played via #feedbackd which adds the necessary role):

Not much news on other mobile platforms but I needed a reliable clock that wakes me up even when the is suspended so I added some boottime clock support to #gnomeClocks.

This together with #feedbackd support can be found in https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/gnome-clocks and #phosh's nightly packages.

Today was "Bundesweiter Warntag" in Germany so a good point in time to test #ModemManager's & #phosh's upcoming #cellbroadcast support .

The sounds emitted by #feedbackd are only stubs (and you don' t hear the haptic in the video but I promise it's there ).

There's three messages because the CBMs are sent out on three different channels.

Thanks @NGIZero for supporting my work on this!
