Well, I'm on a camera bringup streak it seems! 🚀 As of tonight the Fairphone 3 cameras (front and rear) are working on postmarketOS with mainline Linux! And if you saw, only last week I got the Fairphone 4 cameras to work. A bright future is ahead for mobile Linux! 📸 (Brought to you by a night train 🚂) #postmarketOS #LinuxMobile #MobileLinux #libcamera #Fairphone #Fairphone3

    @z3ntu@fosstodon.org I read some time ago that a major block for using Linux based OSes on Faiphone/Android was the lack of AGPS. Is it still an issue? Do you know if there are any other pain points at this time?

    @z3ntu@fosstodon.org That's just so amazing! Thank you! Now we need the battery status and maybe working calls/audio output/input and it can be a daily driver!

  • @z3ntu@fosstodon.org any chance that you have looked into audio on the Fairphone 4 before?

    @z3ntu@fosstodon.org amazing work! Again thank you for your continued effort. I need to find a FP3 motherboard now.

  • @z3ntu@fosstodon.org awesome thanks for putting in the effort. Do you have, by any chance, the battery status next on your list.

    @z3ntu@fosstodon.org This might make the Fairphone 3/4 dethrone the OnePlus 6 as the most compatible linux phone. Doesn't it?

    @z3ntu@fosstodon.org This is really great news! Fairphone would be my favorite anyway! Hope that someday it will be replacing my OP6T.

    @z3ntu@fosstodon.org You really want to switch to GPUISP ASAP for this BTW. Lots of cool features and fixes to come. Best of all these will be fully cross-platform, if you have a CSI2 bus and a working GPU we can snapshot it.

    @z3ntu@fosstodon.org this is awesome, thanks a lot for your great work! If you have some time and patience, it would be great to have a summary of what you tried and how you achieved this - maybe others could use it as a blueprint for porting their own device's camera !

    @z3ntu@fosstodon.org would it be possible to fund someone to work on upstreaming the camera drivers? Might take some load off you? Maybe something like this could be some through @postmarketOS@social.treehouse.systems?

    @z3ntu@fosstodon.org Thats great news.. Last time i checked the compatibility for the FP3, it wasn't "daylie driver" ready, maybe this changed soon 🤩

    @z3ntu@fosstodon.org is this published anywhere? I'm curious what the interfaces to the hardware look like a few years ago I tried to understand how MIPI or whatever connection that cameras and displays use in phones work and got basically no info
