Linux Phones

I have several noob questions about Linux on mobile

Just got the modem on the Xperia 10 III working.

I bought Oneplus 6T with a purpose of putting NixOS Mobile on it. I knew it’s going to be hard, since NixOS Mobile docs DOESN’T exist for flake based setups and the channel based setup docs are really bad.

I’d rather continue working on mainlining the Xperia 10 III, but now I apparently have to figure out how to revert the latest changes on https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Sony_Xperia_10_III_(sony-pdx213)

I am looking forward to changing out my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. But I am very confused of what to choose, of the many options. Here is some criteria you guys could maybe help me choose the perfect fit from:

Finally got around to getting a cheap SIM to play around with secondary devices. I threw it into my Ubuntu Touch OnePlus Nord N10 for fun and was absolutely shocked to see that VoLTE worked and calls worked perfect! Last I looked VoLTE was still in heavy development and far off. This is awesome, and the biggest hurdle to daily driving UT in the USA as we can only call on VoLTE.

Do we have any Kiwix client that works on Linux phones?

With 39C3 coming up… What even schedule software do we have?

I’ve read a bit about systemd-sysupdate and it seemed like something we might want to have for our mobile devices.

Noticed most of Gajim is now usable on a phone. Just a couple menus are difficult to use and chats don’t open a separate view, so that the chat list and the chat itself compete for space.

What are you Ubuntu Touch users doing for music? Its one of my big hurdles to switching since I discovered Musicolet on Android.

I’m in the market for a new phone, and I’d like it to be Linux. As I’ve been building a table of options, I thought I’d share it. It’s a wide table; sorry about that.

how would I go about disabling the modem and nfc on my Oneplus 6T (SDM845) running Mobian? or postmarketOS, I go back and forth between them.

Has anyone actually successfully installed PostmarketOS on an old device recently? I've had a long struggle through trying to prepare a Nexus 7 (2012) and the result seems to be a dead device before I even got to actually installing PostmarketOS.

Roughly how long will it take the fairphone 6 to reach the level of support the fairphone 4 is at now?

Can anybody confirm whether the camera works in Waydroid in Ubuntu Touch on the Fairphone 4?

Ive been looking to change email providers from gmail to either tuta or mail.org but figure I should change phone OS too.

I have been using Lollypop on my phone for about 2 years now. I have tried a few other apps but nothing worked quite as well for me as Lollypop.

My phone's power button doesn't work well.

I have an unused Windows tablet from 2021 running some Core M processor or other that I want to put Linux on and start using again. It doesn't have a keyboard so I would have to actually use it as a tablet and not a laptop. Is there a distro built around one of the mobile desktop environments that also runs well on x86? (Last time I tried Linux mobile it was pretty much only for ARM and I never got it to work well on even an x86 virtual machine.) Or is regular GNOME deskrop still my best bet for a tablet?

My current rig: * old android phone with GPS disabled * external GPS device (NMEA over bluetooth) * OSMand from f-droid for offline maps and navigation * BlueGPS to connect to the bluetooth GPS device, grab the NMEA signal, and feed it as a mock location * developer options » mock locations enabled
