Every now and then people wonder how to replace #phosh's on screen keyboard and what interfaces are needed. Here's some notes on that: https://phosh.mobi/posts/phosh-osk-interface/
phosh 0.34.1 is out 🚀📱:
This fixes two user visible regressions that crept into 0.34.0.
Check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.34.1/
#phosh #librem5 #gnome #linux #mobile #LinuxMobile #MobileLinux #gnomemobile
… or refactor 😄

I'm proud to announce that a Wesnoth has turned 20 years old! Starting with version 0.1 tagged on June 18th 2003, Wesnoth has grown with the help of hundreds of volunteers continually improving all aspects of the game. And while admittedly Wesnoth is no longer at the peak of its popularity, there are still many developers, translators, add-on authors, moderators, and players helping to keep Wesnoth going strong. Thank you everyone for all your work, and here's to another 20 years of Wesnoth!
@cas @dylanvanassche #Phosh avoids accidental input on phone calls via the proximity sensor. You can use mobile-setting's "Sensor" panel to easily check if that would work for your hardware.
Open the panel and move your hand over the sensor to check if it jumps from "far" to "near". If not you need to tweak the near value for your hw.
@martijnbraam You mean the scrolling? That is burried deeper within GTK (@cas could get at the gesture directly as it's handle by p-o-s itself) but I'd assume https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/6668 could help here.
I wonder if that also helps with touch gesture recognition on the OP6?
#git commit messages are not only a service to your fellow developers, they're also a service to your future self asking: "Why exactly did I change that back then?" (when the forge or gitlab instance with all the merge requests and discussions might be long gone).
Would be great to see that happen and sounds like a fun project. I added some notes to the issue.
One thing we'd benefit a lot from is early testing and review of merge requests. That would make releases even smoother by catching errors before the actual release.
I'm already building a #phosh with all MRs that are close to getting merged (https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh-next) that would be a good candidate. Would be simple to build packages for more platforms. Same goes for phoc and other packages. There's something interesting for everyone 😃
I'm actually happy how fast we're moving. Sure, it got a bit quiet on the shell side the last couple of (monthly) cycles but we made lots of progress in other components (Wayland compositor, ModemManager, Pipewire, mobile-settings, …). We always appreciate more contributors though, there's so much interesting stuff to fix.
@dylanvanassche That would be great!
@silmathoron @cas chromium can be nice for webapps and resource usage is ok.
@as400 @cas @zerodivision This is likely a device specific issue. There's devices where phone calls are a no-brainer since a long time.
@dylanvanassche No, didn't do anything like that yet. Filed https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/meta-phosh/-/issues/8 to track this.
@Fosstonaut @cas There was an issue where one would swipe too *easily* between tabs. Do you mean that one? That affects all devices https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/2217 . Or do you mean s.th. else?
@cas …and welcome to the club of #LinuxMobile daily driving people. Hope this helps to move the experience on the OP6 family of devices forward! Would be great to have one more device *well* supported with voice/sms/positioning/camera/sensors and all the BT bells and whistles.
@cas The lack of gesture recognition in GTK you describe looks OP6 (or maybe high scale factors) specific (which then also affects e.g. app closing in phosh). Try a Linux first phone or investigate 😄
And please don't claim that people don't want to fix something while at the same time you lament you don't have enough time either to fix things like camera. Just don't expect people to have your priorities.
(oh, and I think we know of some places that introduce stepping)
@cas @valpackett Pretty comes after working well for daily use (or when someone sends patches).
