@droidian The pace of progress on the droidian project is incredible by #linuxmobile standards. What’s the secret? Is it a mix of lessons learned from UBports using Halium with vendor kernels, lessons from Mobian running mainline, and then just combining the two together? I’ll be testing droidian on my OP6 shortly and I’m very excited! Congrats on all the success!

> Mainline has no effect on halium based devices.
Correct, except if you look at Phosh/the GNOME phone ecosystem as a "mainline thing" since it's (outside of Droidian) mostly used on Mainline devices. Improvements made to this userland also land in Droidian.
But yeah, with custom apps like https://github.com/droidian/droidian-camera, Droidian's changes to GNOME Control Center and so on, Droidian maintainers are definitely highly motivated individuals.
@williamtries @droidian Try it, it's really good :). I'm dual-booting it with Degoogled LineageOS on the OP6 and it's awesome (though I know it will get full mainline support one day).
@LovePoison @droidian Hey! I flashed #droidian to my OP6. It took a while to get it back to OOS 9.1.9 but eventually I got it working. It booted nicely, and I tested the new camera app, web browsing, YouTube, and installing flatpaks. I still have to test the calling and SMS but I’m thinking that will be the best part. A few menus lagged or crashed which leads me to think it may not be as stable as pmOS or the L5 yet, but it will probably get there in time. They’ve had a few years head start.
@williamtries @droidian neither. The droidian main developers have just been working through droidian issues and halium has been getting more work done to fix issues which benefits both droidian and UT. Mainline has no effect on halium based devices.
