Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (16/2025): Counting Easter Eggs
#HMD Global is planning to move back mobile phone production to Europe. They owned the #nokia brand, but they decided to drop it and continue under the name HMD - Human Mobile Device. Time for Europe to have a mobile brand, again. I got mine today - it's Android, of course, but only for a few days until I rebuild it with #ubuntuTouch or #eOS. @e_mydata I may need some help. #buyeuropean #boycottusa
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (14/2025): Wallpapered Lockscreens
@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen yes, and to add insult to injury #Mozilla didn't even wanted to sell people like @fuchsiii or me a #FirefoxOS device, with the only one being "launched" in the #EU being a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain one could only attain in-store with all the "#KYC" nonsense they had, demanding a legal address in Spain back then.
- So whilst Firefox OS had the most "#accessible" #Development #tools (literally using #Firefox for it and having every #App as #WebView|s / #HTML5+#JS5+#CSS3 files in a container), they didn't even sold us said devices, making it a worse flop than #UbuntuTouch which at least still gets some devices made that support it...
And #nerds like myself are far from the "#consoomer #Normies" for whom stuff that isn't on shelves at Staturn/MediaMarkt, BestBuy, Walmart, ... doesn't exist. I'm used to importing #tech that I want!
- Feels even more half-assed than #MobileCoin in hindsight…
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]

This is some bs. If AOSP development is made less publicly accessible it does NOT " simplify things for developers" but rather it hinders it for de-googled privacy respecting ROMs and their device ports. The need for continued and ramped up efforts developing alternative mobile OS's, like Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish OS, Droidian, Mobian, Postmarket, etc. is even more apparent with this move by Google.

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

Das Volla Tablet mit Ubuntu Touch klingt interessant. Auch das Quintus Phone hat seinen Reiz. Hat von euch schon jemand Erfahrung mit Volla / Ubuntu Touch?

I rebooted my Pixel 3a running #ubuntuTouch to package my web app #disco2very for it:

I have to say that I still find the OS lovely. If Signal was working there and if more services were available as websites instead of apps, I would definitely switch back to it as my primary phone OS.

Hi #Fediverse,
My name is Adam, developer from Czech Republic (not going to call it czechia) I've been using linux for fifteen years or so, don't ask me questions about windows :D
Currently in my free time I like to contribute to #UbuntuTouch while driving it on my device for two years now.
Since instance https://tu.social I was using ended at the beginning of February, I deployed my own, you may know how Bender says it

Fediverse! Talk to me about #LinuxPhones! I want to diversify from #iOS with current events being what they are, but am only a bit #Linux literate. Would appreciate personal testimonials!
Currently looking at #PinePhone & #ShiftPhone… opinions? Other suggestions?
[edit] Would mostly be: doing financial things & social media (assuming via browser). Would like to try #UbuntuTouch, so I could try installing Signal? Nothing hugely demanding, just needs to get online via cell signal.
