@katzenmann@c3d2.social @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social hm, that's true. I guess I haven't found a very usable Email app. I read Thunderbird works, but it doesn't render any emails. Currently I use Geary, but it's unfortunately very buggy on mobile and doesn't do background sync. The maps app Nick showed also looks nice. Currently my choices are: 1. Pure Maps (buggy, but functional when my GPS stops saying I'm in Paris) 2. GNOME Maps (freezes my phone after a little bit, otherwise nice) 3. Organic Maps w/ Waydroid (no GPS)

@allpurposemat@mastodon.gamedev.place I think the momentum and velocity on mainline projects like PMOS is higher at the moment than on UBPorts. So in the next 2-3 years the app ecosystem will overtake the "niche" UBPorts. I really hope for a good E-Mail client aswell, but it is a big effort. Maybe also Furilabs will share some of their waydroid fork to get GPS working, should that work without halium. #UBPorts #PostmarketOS #FuriLabs @katzenmann@c3d2.social @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social

@allpurposemat@mastodon.gamedev.place @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social Thunderbird with mobile-config-thunderbird works. Opening the emails is a bit clunky. You have to double tap to actually open them. For maps you can also use the desktop organic maps from Flathub. Also a bit clunky to use and you'd best scale it down in phosh. I hope Gnome Maps improves in the future. Downloading raster tiles for offline navigation is set to release soon which is great.
