I have been daily driving FLX1 from Furilabs for few weeks now.
Believe me this is the phone which will finally gain some market share to linux mobile.
It has all the best achievements of the linux mobile community.
It has been in market for month and it is allready better than any other linux phone that I ever had (I basicly have/had them all - starting from the BQ Aquaris)
Feel free to ask questions I can try answer. #flx1 #furilabs #linuxmobile #mobilelinux #phosh @furilabs
My deGoogled android reports my location to my Home Assistant server. It's fairly important for some of my automations.
I'm trying to figure out how to make that happen on Linux phone. Not having one to test on makes that difficult, lol. None of my Linux machines have GPS in them.
Also, I rely pretty heavily on GPS navigation to get around. How well is that working on the FLX1?
@hellomiakoda @furilabs
Should be quite easy because at the moment FLX1 works like this:
If you use android-container the GPS is locked to android apps - and GPS works as good as any modern smartphone. You will get location immediately.
If you use this method you can use the same methods as you use with deGoogled android device.
If you choose to go with linux route you need to first stop android-container. GPS works then also there and there are methods to share location with linux too.
Sounds like the ideal workflow is to eventually migrate away from using the Android container.
Oof, sorry for repeatative replies earlier. Pain can really cause confusion and disorentarion. #embarassed
@hellomiakoda @furilabs No worries.
I am not sure are there any as polished options as in android - maybe with Nextcloud ther is, I am not sure.
What my end-user brains would suggest for an idea:
Use mmcli to get location details and output that for example to txt file.
Then if you wan't do some formatting for that information so the location info is easier to understand.
Then sync that periodically with cron or similar.
But options are endless :)
@alaraajavamma @furilabs So far, it looks like attempting gpsd might be my best bet. But I can't test cause I don't have anything Linux with GPS yet.
I guess plan B is
if WiFi ssid = KodaNet, Miakoda is home.
Wait... I might actually be able to pull that from my router, seeing if [Mac address] is connected. My router is already connected with a HA integration. Broken at the moment, but I haven't attempted to fix that yet, might be as simple as needing to reauth.
