Thanks to the great work done by @wrenix, @valpackett, and many others (certainly not me), I've finally gotten calls working on my Fairphone 5.

While there's some kinks left to be ironed out, call quality is excellent out of the box (certainly better than my PinePhone (Pro)).

I've pushed a `linux-sc7280-calls` kernel to my arch repo for anyone who wants to try it. The following PR discussion should help set it all up:

@Lioh Not yet. As you can see in my last comment on the PR, there are still some kinks left to be ironed out. Might need some userspace config work before it's ready as a default.

@UndeadLeech @wrenix @valpackett Great news, thank you guys. Any estimates possible when it will be available for everyone in postmarketOS?

short: sadly no.

We @valpackett and i are not the maintainer of the sc7280-mainline kernel or the fairphone5 device on @postmarketOS . So we need to wait for the maintainers, as an independent person I have collect and make test for the "correct" patches and @valpackett + @bshah has develop new patches.

For me it is unclear when this review happen and maybe the maintainer hopes of a different way: https://postmarketos.org/blog/2026/05/08/q6voice-project/

I personal hope, if we got this patches online till codec2codec is implemented, otherwise it take more weeks or months.

@wrenix @UndeadLeech @valpackett @postmarketOS @bshah ok, I understand, thank you for explaning though 😊 hopefully they read this and think about doing it since I think a lot of people are waiting for this. It is the last part of the puzzle on the way to use the fp5 as daily driver.
