whatever (hopefully) ends up in the kernel we need a way to provide the information via userspace too for
- overrides / non dt-devices
- tests (where you e.g. want to check phosh's layouting for different notch positions)
That's why it ended up in gmobile (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/gmobile). If it comes from DT or viia drm properties too we'll pick it up there as well for compositors and shells to make use of it.
@goatwildernesscollective @eliasr It should be finished in a matter of seconds. Note that you're installing unstable software on your device for *development* purposes.
If you feel uncomfortable debugging and fixing issues I'd recommend to stick to the released versions. Like Debian sid it usually is pretty stable but it *can* break on you.
This weeks update mentions the Q3 LinuxPhoneApp update which I had missed before: https://linuxphoneapps.org/blog/new-listed-apps-q3-2023/
Adding new apps to LinuxPhoneApp is easy and can be done by everyone. It's a good chance to help to improve the ecosystem. 📱
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (40/2023): #Phosh 0.32.0, #UbuntuTouch Q&A, #SailfishOS Community News and more!
@rmader @mort @cassidy It's not in device tree yet https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/f8747f99-0695-5be0-841f-4f72ba5d5da3@connolly.tech/
I've added https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phoc/-/issues/341 as that looks like a simple thing to add (and we have the information in the compositor already to draw the notch area for debugging purposes).
@kosmosghost @purism Phosh is using a lot of GNOME technologies and we consider us part of the GNOME community/ecosystem but phosh doesn't use gnome-shell so its extensions won't work. There's extension points for e.g. lockscreen plugins though (and more planned for e.g. quick settings).
phosh 0.32.0 is out 🚀📱:
More fixes in #phosh and #phoc ➕ allows to reorder lock screen plugins (thanks gauthamx@mastodon.world) ➕ improvements in phosh-osk-stub's virtual-keyboard mode in non US layouts (e.g. for electron apps) and initial #varnam support for Malayalam.
Check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.32.0/

@QuadRadical in my simplistic world view phosh is part of the gnome mobile effort. Nitpicking aside: If you mean if it also runs under the gnome-shell fork for mobile: it should, it's a regular GTK/adwaita app.

Next thing needed is a "stop charging" button as some charging stations don't allow for that either 😞 . The data leaking involved here is also concerning but as it is sent out no matter what, let's at least make it usable via #FreeSoftware too.
Had the need to charge an all electric Kia recently and guess what: both the charging stations app and the vendor's app are proprietary so how would I know when charging finished?
Turns out people around #HomeAssistant figured out the vendor API so I could use that to have a small app to monitor the charging status on my #Librem5 running #phosh
@krzym @devrtz @copyrights @zeroday Librem 5 ist locker schnell genug für Waydroid, siehe https://forums.puri.sm/t/anyone-successfully-run-waydroid-on-librem-5/16757/130
Problem bei Waydroid ist eher:
- derzeit generell kein Bluetooth support
- die proprietären Apps laufen nicht auf gerooteteten Telefonen
Von daher ist der Anwendungsfall in er Praxis stark eingeschränkt.
I had already disabled automatic HighContrast in #phosh but the last days were so ☀️ that I flipped it on again.
Thankfully this doesn't need any `gsettings set sm.puri.phosh automatic-high-contrast true` anymore but can be done conveniently in the mobile-setting's sensor panel added by @devrtz in 0.29.0.
