Some progress on emulating iOS 14 on #postmarketOS Linux smartphone. Successfully triggered the restore process
The (poor...) way #Linux handles Out Of Memory situations, and the lack of sophisticated application lifecycle management in FOSS toolkits, can make life on #LinuxMobile not so much fun. When memory fills up too much, devices lag and random stuff breaks.
@fakeshell from @furilabs ported #lmkd from Android to "pure" Linux and improved it in many ways. It consumes much less resources than #earlyoom and took my #FLX1 to over 5 days uptime for the first time!
Calling for submissions to the FOSS on Mobile devroom at #FrOSCon 2025 in slightly under a month!
You can find the description and instructions below in english and german.
Looking forward to seeing you!
You can configure #stevia's scaling features via phosh-mobile-settings now too:
One Linux phone to rule them all
Booting iOS 14 on #postmarketOS using #QEMU
Tried to setup a virtual camera for #Waydroid on #postmarketOS following this guide https://www.testdevlab.com/blog/android-virtual-camera-setup
Rooting #Android works well, even registering VCam for the specific app seems to work but I cant get the video stream to show up :( Maybe not the correct video resolution or codec?
Added a note to the #postmarketOS wiki on the current state of camera auto-focus support in #libcamera by @NekoCWD and OnePlus6 https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/OnePlus_6_(oneplus-enchilada)#Libcamera

Web sites are these days insanely bloated, sometimes youtube trows 1GB of RAM consumption per tab at me. GNOME Web is infamously known for consuming several gigs of RAM for almost nothing.
If GNU/Linux on phones is a serious issue, then i think the development of native apps (like GTK apps) for most of the web services that are out there is critical to make the experience bearable. Some of them are good but there's still a lot to be done.
Uh, I just took a call on my postmarketOS OnePlus 6 and it just worked?!
Using the site zügli.app by @q it is possible to export the rail passport #Deutschlandticket into the #postmarketOS wallet
Linux Mobile !
Vor etwa 5 Jahren hatte ich Ubuntu Touch ausprobiert, doch leider hatte dies auf meinem Smartphone nicht so gut funktioniert. Die Uhr war unlesbar, da die GUI auf ecken und nicht auf abgerundet programmiert war. Auch Telefonate und SMS haben nur mit viel Glück funktioniert, meist jedoch gar nicht.
In Foren hatte ich damals gelesen, man arbeite daran, auch bei anderen Derivaten und man arbeite auch an einer Möglichkeit, apk's zu installieren.
Hat sich da inzwischen etwas getan?
Funktioniert das inzwischen besser und gibt es inzwischen die Möglichkeit, apk's zu installieren?
Vielleicht gibt es hier Enthusiasten, die gern ihr Wissen zum aktuellen Stand, weitergeben wollen.
