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.
Now it's time to beta test!
PipeTap is an application that control @libcamera driven camera through @pipewire .

@itsfoss Would this also work for #mobilelinux #linuxonmobile?
So I lost my jingpad when I moved in 2022. I just found it. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket is I can put on it? Ideally I'd like it to be Linux, not Android. It's starting to look like my options are cybersecurity nightmare, or paperweight.
Boosts appreciated!
@itsfoss Sadly, no ARM build for #mobilelinux #linuxonmobile yet.
We are very pleased to announce the roll-out of Ubuntu Touch OTA-8 Focal. The eighth stable release based on Ubuntu 20.04 brings a few improvements and changes. All the details can be found in the OTA-8 blog post.

@sesivany @trilobyte Thanks! You've reminded me to fill out the CFP for #Installfest about #MobileLinux
Question about #mobilelinux : I have had a #Pinephone for over a year now (with postmarketOs 99% of the time) and my primary issues have been battery life and poor performance.
I would usually assume that a lower-power computer would use less battery, even with the Pinephone being roughly 25% battery I find it very hard to use day-to-day without hauling around an external battery.
I am curious if that is a limitation of mobile Linux or just a Pinephone thing.
Thank you for your time!
All's well in the world of #MobileLinux. Progress continues, fueled by many wonderful people and orgs. Camera sorta works now on Oneplus 6/6t, which is monumental
I've had my OP6 for five years now, running #postmarketOS all the while. It's been a wild ride, which I'm so grateful to have come along for.
pmOS has been my daily driver for mobile computing for the better part of two years now, only interrupted by occasional stints running Android.
I've swapped batteries in my device twice, and now I'm planning to replace the battery once more as well as replace the USB C port.
It's been a delight. Here're my first cat pics taken with my phone running pmOS in celebration of many years to come! 
I heard you like broken Linux camera drivers.

Seems @postmarketOS is now successful enough for some people to think it was the first community-run GNU-like/Linux distro for phones.
Let me remind you that SHR would turn 17yo this year, and it wasn't even the first one. I bet some #postmarketOS contributors are younger than that 
it's us, we're a part of the multiverse 
Linux mobile people, you can make decent screen recordings with Kooha. So share some videos, and let's demonstrate how amazing Linux smartphones are! Settings that work best for me on OnePlus 6t are mp4 + 30fps. #postmarketos #gnomemobile #mobilelinux
@carbonatedcaffeine@fosstodon.org#pine64 #pinenote recovery and flashing tutorial:
Hello and welcome to possibly the last of my PineNote tutorials, this is a continuation of the RockUSB video where I'll show you how to recover/flash your PineNote. This video doesn't really go into the batch 1 PineNote (since I don't have one), but the same instructions should apply.

In der kommenden @ct_Magazin Ausgabe und jetzt schon auf @heiseonline #heise+ findet ihr meinen Test des Linux-Smartphones Jolla C2 mit Sailfish OS 5
Sailfish ist ein waschechtes #Linux und kein Android-Abkömmling, kann aber (bis zu einem gewissen Grad) Android-Apps starten
Wie steht es nach der wechselhaften Geschichte um @jolla und #Sailfish ?
PEBBLE IS BACK!!! PEBBLE IS BACK!!!!

I exclusively use Pebble smartwatches: because then I know EXACTLY where my data is.
(Yes, Pebbles work with #sailfishosOS #mobilelinux phones, thanks to @abranson )
I am so excited to participate and see where this project leads and hoping it comes to fruition with next generation data sovereign smartwatches.
Congrats to the whole team at Pebble and the Rebble Alliance!
With #PebbleOS released today under the Apache License by Alphabet, and the original Pebble founder wanting to bring the platform back, I wonder how the new watches will compare to modern things like #PineTime and if we'll see cross-pollination between PebbleOS and #MobileLinux . https://ericmigi.com/blog/why-were-bringing-pebble-back/
