Thoughts aren't fully formed so this doesn't warrant a writeup yet, but so far I've got the following things I'm trying to figure out in #PostmarketOS:
- why does my phone keep clicking? Sounds like any system event triggers an audio response.
- is there a way to get a package in after
pmbootstrap installby mutating the chroot directly? My changes apparently don't end up in the flashed image. - I need to figure out how to get debug logs. Disabling Bluetooth hard crashes the device and results in a reboot in <5 seconds. (Its kind of reassuring to realize this was a device issue rather than a PostmarketOS issue). Remote debugging hopefully will also help me sort out why plasma-mobile sometimes just doesn't appear after unlocking.
- Something screwy with languages selection. I was trying to add a Japanese input method (anything to start) but Plasma Mobile has an empty languages section while Phosh has two different keyboard sections each with a different set of languages. Neither appears to give me some form of IME.
- I'll probably have to sort out how to configure u-boot. The text flys by so quickly it isn't useful to see it, so I'd like to give myself a theme.
- With how often I reflash the device to test, it would be very helpful to stick my Wifi credentials directly into the image so the phone comes online connected and ready for debugging/remote access.
I'm sure some of these have trivial answers while others are rabbit holes, but I wanted to publicly put my initial thoughts out there for an eventual writeup.
