is it too late to join the #pipewire party? i hope not, or else my #flx1 will be sad
all applications that use pipewire can finally utilize the camera (adding to our list of v4l, qtmultimedia and android apps)
one issue we are facing is that aperture is not very happy with the back cameras, so applications like #GNOME snapshot or authenticator will have the preview flipped. captured frames are surprisingly not flipped tho:

Wow I've never seen this before! Usually the whole shell just freezes up or something unless I quickly SSH and kill or something. Definitely an improvement

Version 0.2 of my eSIM Manager app is out!
We've got significant UI improvements alongside many other additions such as an app icon, providing environment variables for lpac via the command line, error handling, eUICC 'notification' handling, viewing of eUICC chip info and appstream metainfo data!
Phosh 0.46.0 brings customization, UI improvements to the mobile Linux user interface
Phosh is a user interface designed for smartphones running Linux-based operating systems. First developed by Purism for the Librem 5 smartphone, it’s now available for a wide range of devices and works with most major Linux distributions.
While Phosh has long had many of the core features you’d expect from a smartphone user interface, it’s still a little rough around the edges compared with […]
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (14/2025): Wallpapered Lockscreens
It's obvious that AOSP is on borrowed time. There's only so long before Google closes the source (eg Project Fuschia ) or limits enough it might as well be closed (ie makes it even more dependent on a million closed source Google apps).
Enjoy it while it lasts (which may not be long), but let's get going creating, using and supporting Linux phones so we have a decent option when open source Android fully dies!
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (13/2025): Crossing Platforms, Breaking Barriers
Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,
After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.
We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and **your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app** : )
Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.
The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.
[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

Lilbits: AI-enhanced search for Windows PCs and Amazon’s Big Spring Sale
Many of the latest laptop processors from Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm have high-performance neural processing units that are supposed to let you run AI applications locally without sending any data to the cloud. But so far Microsoft and PC makers have had a hard time coming up with things that you can actually do with all that on-device AI processing power.
Originally Microsoft’s biggest […]

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (12/2025): GNOME 48 and other goodies
@bshah @NGIZero @nlnet @kde @plasmamobile
That's AWESOME! Battery life has been one of those steady complaints putting people off #MobileLinux for so long now, so addressing a good part of this will go a long way!
Thanks for another interesting roundup! Great to see all the work happening on smooth, high end video playback, even on the Pinephone! Also interesting to see what #Liberux are working on. Hopefully the product will match the promises! We need more decent spec Linux phones! (Preferably at non-insane prices but hey, I'm prepared to pay a premium if the hardware is worth it).
Gnome 48 also brings so many improvements to Gnome Mobile.
Scrolling is just as smooth as it's on Android.
OSK and Touch text selection are better now.
And the cameras have started working on #Oneplus6
Overall, it's getting to where it is starting to feel like a real alternative 
️.
My dream of crawling away from the clutches of Big-Tech gets closer.

More #mobilelinux = more options = #bettertech for more people.
My talk "Last Mile from Mobile Linux to the User" was accepted for #Installfest! 
It will take place on Sunday, 16.03, at 14:30 in Track II.
I’ll be driving Brno → Prague in the morning and back in the evening. If you’d like to join, I still have plenty of space in my car. 
You can also find me at the Ubuntu Touch stand—come say hi!
