#phosh 0.40 will correctly detect the #steamdeck's panel orientation and start up in landscape mode now! 🎉
Here's a photo of it running on #postmarketOS!
There are still a few rough edges with running pmOS, phosh, and the other UIs we support, on the Steam Deck... but it's still really nice to see one rough edge smoothed out.
pmOS on the Steam Deck, just like the blueberries in the photo, is not quite ready for consumption... 🤞 😄
Thank you @agx for your help and patience!

"#iPhones and #iPads are not general purpose computers" states #Apple. I vehemently disagree!!

I'm happy to announce the availability of my new app "eSIM Manager" on postmarketOS! With it you can manage and install eSIMs on your phone running postmarketOS! No more need to boot into Android to do the same!

We've tagged version 0.2.0 of #livi (a small video player for #LinuxMobile) a couple of days ago and @rmader updated it on #flathub also bumping #gstreamer to 1.24.4 improving #h256 and #vp9 support.

@agx worked on making #feedbackd a bit more useful and convenient. Some of this landed already and is targeting the next #phosh release
while others might take a bit longer (as they e.g. depend on a calls bug fix release). A short 🧵 👇
Our request for a #FossOnMobile devroom at #FrOSCon24 (17. / 18. of August) just got accepted 🚀 .
If you want to give a talk, do a BoF, round table or similar please add it to https://mensuel.framapad.org/p/froscon24-mobile and we'll try to accommodate it in the schedule.
Please excuse the video quality. MR is at https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phoc/-/merge_requests/568
So far you had to pull out #phosh's top and bottom bar quiet a bit to make it unfold. That's kind of o.k. on 📱 like the #Librem5 or #PinePhone but can be cumbersome on larger phones like the #OnePlus6T or tablets like the #Librem11. I've put out an MR for #phoc which adds a fling #gesture so you can also fold/unfold with a fast swipe. Here's a short video demoing this for different screen sizes:

More #phosh custom quick settings coming in. We just landed a dark mode toggle by Teemu Ikonen on main:
Was able to grab the #nlalert2024 #cellbroadcast message with our WIP #ModemManager patches. #phosh will use the same interface.

There's finally a mobile data quick setting in Phosh (will be part of 0.40.0). Not everybody needs it so you can enable/disable it via Mobile Settings:
