I guess it's impossible to remove Google from Android phones. I have disabled Google, but cannot delete it. And it re-enabled itself later. The only way out of this, I'm thinking, is an alternative operating system for the phone.

Apart from supported devices, what are the deciding factors to choose between @mobian and @postmarketOS ?

Building for Mobian is easy in docker (we use https://tangled.org/me.webbeef.org/beaver/blob/main/support/docker/Dockerfile.arm64), not sure if pmbootstrap is also usable in CI? Ideally we would create updatable images with cage (https://github.com/cage-kiosk/cage) as the wayland compositor and Beaver as the user environment.

Heads up for edge users:

We've switched to Plymouth for displaying the boot splash! This allows screen rotation to work, and to toggle between splash and boot logs by pressing ESC on devices with a keyboard, or the power button 🔌 on phones and tablets.

#pine64 support seem to be trolling me. I reported that wifi chip stopped working within ~15 minutes, and their response so far has been:

  • Gaslight me and try to convince me there is no problem
  • Try to convince me my phone wasn't charged enough for wifi+bt chip to work.
  • Try to convince me that even though battery is charged, it doesn't have "enough voltage" just for this one chip while everything else works

    • It is almost as if they just want me to go away and stop complaining.

    @brainblasted I have a branch with quickshell on alpine now. DMS needs some tweaks for min-width but it seems pretty promising. :) #postmarketos #niri

    Wie auch beim letzten Termin werde ich #Mobiltelefon​e mit #Linux zum Ausprobieren mitbringen.

    Mitunter ein #Shift6mq aus Falkenberg, auf dem sowohl #Android/#ShiftOS als auch alternativ #Linux gestartet werden kann.

    I am very thankful for everybody that worked on applying https://docs.postmarketos.org/pmcr/main/0005-default-git-branch-rename.html to pmaports, pmbootstrap, and the core CI repos in postmarketOS. The process was handled so carefully and smoothly that there is only one thing I could consider as actually being broken after that fact, and that was just one CI check that was missed. Really makes me trust the coordination of the distro.
