Added a few more stubs (and set it to dark theme); we can now access the settings, search (ish), and (with an assist from the GTK inspector) interact with the Tiny Square MapView™

Right, it seems ATL cannot run debug APK files at all, *but* I can make a release build and steal debug symbols from the intermediate build artifacts. Unfortunately, those don't seem to make GDB happy. But hey, progress!

Managed to build it with the Docker container provided at https://codeberg.org/comaps/docker-android-sdk however the liborganicmaps.so I get from that does not successfully link with the F-Droid APK I was running. Trying to see if I can instead get an APK with debug symbols, but gradlew assembleDebug still strips symbols...

@pi_crew@social.project-insanity.org indeed, I really miss having navigation! Waydroid doesn't support location, and the two native apps I tried just freeze my phone after a few seconds :p I hear OsmAnd works in ATL, if you want to try it. I'm fairly motivated to get CoMaps running as I could import all my stuff from my old phone.

My first successful launch of @CoMaps@floss.social's Android app on Linux, via #AndroidTranslationLayer! I previously tried using CoMaps with Waydroid, but Waydroid does not support GPS. Very broken right now, but I got it to at least launch after two days of debugging / relearning Java syntax. Hopefully eventually this means I can use it on my #postmarketOS phone!

@chfkch@ruhr.social I do feel the same way, and am very optimistic for pmOS in the long run. Especially given the awesome community around it :) I did research @furilabs@fosstodon.org stuff before, but I did not figure out how to build their Waydroid "Andromeda" fork. I'd love to try it out on pmOS!

@katzenmann@c3d2.social Hrm, Thunderbird does sound nice. When I tried mobile-config-thunderbird (or even just raw Thunderbird), selecting an email would "open" it to a blank screen. I will try it again tho, as that was a couple months ago. Regarding Organic Maps (well, CoMaps now), I did try the Flathub version but the UI did not appear to work with touch. I'm on Plasma Mobile now instead of Phosh, maybe better luck? I'll give it a shot :) GNOME Maps is nice, but sadly the freezing makes it a no for me…

@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)

@muvlon@hachyderm.io Interesting! I did indeed only see media reporting on it, but did not read the actual case.

Will read up on (I guess) this document to get a better understanding. Though I hold that EU should not be subject to US rulings, it is helpful to see how other jurisdictions interpret it as a hint of how EU might handle it.

Either way, my personal belief is still that LLM output is subject to the copyright of its training material, and thus 99% unfree.

Considering calling slop-infected projects "nonfree," as copyright-laundered code (in my opinion) isn't licensable under whatever actually-free license the project claims.

Is there any substance to this? Anyone else feel the same?

I am European, so specifically interested in non-US laws/examples. US seems to lean toward slop being public domain (despite being copyright-laundered…), but I understand that should not apply here.

@flamingradian@social.sineware.ca So, I gave a shot to "just" enabling the compose key: https://git.allpurposem.at/mat/unfettered-keyboard/commit/81ed9bd4b91a60dc30498412deb3354555bf0c81 As expected, it is more complicated than that. WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 shows me the key event is going through, but it doesn't seem to have any actual effect (can't compose any sequences). I suspect more handling is needed on the keyboard side, or perhaps a change in the keymap/layout, but I am super out of my depth with #xkb Shot in the dark, maybe I know someone who can help?

@jmlich@fosstodon.org I did, I packaged it for postmarketOS :) Unfortunately it depends on qt5 which is end-of-life and thus dropped from Alpine packages, and it recently stopped working entirely. I want to build something new that I can rely on and keep updated.

Is there an alternative to libpebble3 that isn't using LLMs? I'm starting work on a #Pebble daemon for Linux mobile but I want dependencies to be FOSS.

There's a lib called [pebble-le](https://github.com/leso-kn/pebble-le) though it's not been updated in 3 years. Maybe my best bet though, given the alternative is implementing the BT LE comms myself.

@flamingradian I gave haptics a shot, not ready for upstreaming yet but I got my local build of ufkb to vibrate like Unexpected Keyboard does: https://git.allpurposem.at/mat/unfettered-keyboard/commit/4ad7662adda5ed91cf03ee31969e29b8cc4bc8f8 Crazy how much it changes the feel when typing, happy it works so easily. I don't know Rust ~~yet~~, so many thanks to @daxanius for help getting the basics down 🦀

@justsoup @flamingradian yes, I'll be following it closely. Running with mrtest -a right now.

Might take a stab at adding some features (haptics, compose key) to match how I used it on Android, but already it is super impressive and really completely changes my experience of pmOS.

Screenshot has an older version of the toot hehe. Ran out of characters, as usual, but I wanted to thank the pmOS Matrix room, as someone helpfully linked the repo when I asked. I was on GNOME Mobile at the time (when I wrote my first pmOS blogpost), which doesn't support changing the keyboard. I briefly switched to Phosh and (while not easy) I *did* get this keyboard working on it. But now on Plasma it was as easy as tapping the option in settings. Awesome! Next: get the compose key working.

This is the repository: https://gitlab.com/flamingradian/unfettered-keyboard (yes, I used Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V on my phone to send that) I'm using a not-yet-merged aports package by yoxcu: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/96838 With this, I simply select it in system settings and it works. Need to accept a permissions prompt on every login, but worthy price to pay for such an awesome keyboard.

Since switching to #postmarketOS, one of the things I missed most from Android is this curious keyboard app "Unexpected Keyboard," which lets you access most symbols with a swipe. Importantly for Linux, it has Ctrl, Tab, Escape, and arrows!

I found a repo called "Unfettered Keyboard" (by @flamingradian@social.sineware.ca), which is a faithful port of the base features from my favorite keyboard! I switched to #PlasmaMobile a couple days back and am so thrilled to be able to use this keyboard on it!!

@UndeadLeech@fosstodon.org hmm, that's quite puzzling then. --location-status returns capabilities: 3gpp-lac-ci, gps-raw, gps-nmea, agps-msa, agps-msb, which sounds to me like NMEA is enabled.

--location-get returns nothing 🙃

@UndeadLeech@fosstodon.org Oh interesting! It does look like I have modem-gnss.service enabled & running. It always tells me I'm in the middle of France (I live in Aachen), after like 15min it sometimes figures out where I am but by that time I already got where I need to be by other means.

Also, I only had the "compass" feature work once in Pure Maps. Otherwise it doesn't show me which direction I'm heading...

@Feral_3D@mastodon.social well, the "ideal" OS depends on your needs. If you need a "working" phone, right now Android is the only option.

I'm personally running postmarketOS on it because I choose independence from Google, but a lot of stuff I just can't do yet. Non-exhaustive list:

  • any form of calling
  • banking
  • maps navigation via GPS
  • non-blurry photos (but colors are getting better!)
  • "safe" updates (rollback if something broke / got interrupted)

I wrote a blogpost about it: https://blog.allpurposem.at/linux-on-my-phone

Replying to @matthewcroughan@social.defenestrate.it
@matthewcroughan@social.defenestrate.it @aelin@donotsta.re @bshah@fosstodon.org I think it'd be good to have the identifier be the same regardless of whether you are u-boot'ing. This probably would cause issues for other software that relies on this string comparison to function.

My Fairphone 5 running #postmarketOS re-gained audio support today, with bonus working mic as well!!

Seems like the ALSA configs use a device identifier that only matches if you don't use U-Boot, as it sets a different name, and thus ALSA doesn't find it. Temp solved via `sudo ln -s /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/conf.d/qcm6490/{Fairphone\ 5.conf,fairphone-Fairphone5-.conf}`

Many thanks to @bshah@fosstodon.org and @aelin@donotsta.re for looking into it and spending time helping.

Wow, never seen a ping like this. Thanks for the quick warning, broadcasting here in case someone affected is not in the Matrix room.

This is the bug it runs into, breaks booting (can still roll back to an older gen if you have physical access): https://lore.kernel.org/all/bb9ab61c-3bed-4c3d-baf0-0bce4e142292@moonlit-rail.com/

EDIT: fix is now pushed, will be safe to update soon I hope :)

#postmarketOS edge seemingly has an issue with mkinitfs that breaks booting, warning against upgrading for now for anyone else daily driving.

Trying out @schmiddionmobile@fosstodon.org's #Railway app for my trip to FOSDEM, it looks beautiful and notified me about each transit I need to take, across both the Aachen bus network and DeutscheBahn. Very cool, high quality software like the other projects by them. Thank you!
