OleksiiTIL: video calls are working on #postmarketos edge #Phosh #Fairphone5 #dino #xmpp #mobilelinux #linuxmobile
fisherdude@Oleksii Can you tell me what Kernel you are on?!?
@Oleksii Very cool. Thank you for sharing.
Robot@Oleksii oh actually looked closer at the tags, i thought this was about IMS video calling (LTE/5G video calls)
@robot one phone only has sim card and shared WiFi. At the same time xmpp and Dino has no clue about my phone number. It was very unlikely LTE/5G call.
@Oleksii If its over XMPP it was not an IMS call, I responded since I thought that the VoLTE/VoNR/VoWiFi stack got video call support from the video and it being boosted by phosh (video quality was kind of too low to parse what applications were running or the status bar without too much previous experience with phosh/dino) and I hadn't read the trailing tags yet.
Fossman@Oleksii @robot Video calls using @dino has been working even on #postmarketOS stable since last year at least. I tested it successfully on a #Librem5 with pmOS 26.06 and 25.12 during each's testing phase.
Jörgi (chaos.social)@Oleksii hey, I'm still thinking about switching to postmarketOs on my FP5.
are for you all the normal Android apps working as they have been on Android?
Especially Signal (and unfortunately whatsapp).
and google maps for navigation (or is there a better solution on this?)
Clero@joergi @Oleksii Last time I checked, there were no Linux clients allowing to use signal without an android phone (https://flathub.org/apps/de.schmidhuberj.Flare) but you can install Waydroid (https://waydro.id/) to use android apps on Linux so with a bit of tinkering you can use Signal. And for Whatsapp, you can use the android app on Waydroid as well.
There is nothing as advanced as google maps on linux sadly.
You can check what's working here : https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp5)
@joergi @clero @Oleksii An Android or iOS device is not needed to run #SignalDesktop on #LinuxPhones, even if registering a brand new account. #SignalCli works great as the primary device, either on your desktop or on your Linux phone itself. It is available from #Flathub and from Alpine / pmOS repos.
I think you can also use Flare as the primary device, but the option was hidden in the UI last I checked.
