This is slightly off-topic, but I've been looking for a device to run PostmarketOS and discovered that I had a Mi A1 in my drawer, which as I've discovered is pretty well supported.

Cool! Just one problem, it has a broken screen (not just the glass, but also the LCD).

I have an iFixit kit, but not a replacement screen and I'm looking for tips about where I could acquire one.

I'm looking for something that is high quality (not necessarily OEM, but close enough) and won't fail on me after some time. It should preferrably be easily shippable to Europe (Czechia).

Anyone have any knowledge of that sort?

If so please tell me the status of the development of the device so that we can share notes on how to get it fully running.

After researching why current consumer and embedded ARM (and, to a lesser extent, embedded RISC-V) devices are difficult to port to, the primary reason appears to be device discovery and driver support.

Obviously, extracting proprietary drivers from a potentially outdated AOSP-based OS version with a probably quite outdated kernel and getting that to run in mainline is a lot of work.

However, getting device trees shouldn't be, and really shouldn't be necessary, since they're not something that a manufacturer would hope close to their chest, unlike complex driver software.

Consequently, I would like to request to Fairphone – considering their mission statement – that they provide device trees and enumerable busses (if they don't) but would like to verify here that I wouldn't look like a moron asking for the wrong thing.

I hope this makes sense.

Anyone else having issues with Puremaps only working at random? Even with offline navigation it still tries to connect online and gives HTTP 400 errors. Further I noticed HERE maps is blank once you navigate.

Is there a way to completely uninstall phosh on pmos stable and then install plasma mobile or lomiri? I tried removing the phosh package and installing the plasma-mobile one but the phosh apps were still there and it didnt seem like everything for plasma-mobile was installed.

Having ascertained https://discuss.kde.org/t/how-to-capture-a-screenshot-in-plasma-mobile/15070/2?u=rokejulianlockhart, I'd like to be able to transfer screenshots off my Plasma Mobile device.

  1. I try to access it via KDE Plasma 6's Disks & Devices plasmoid (widget):

  2. However, all I see is:

    Screenshot_20240505_041605|689x170

Weirdly, it's acting like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486594#c0.

I ask because I'd like to upload screenshots to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1895116#c1, and ascertain whether it affects https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/webflash/-/issues/2#note_1892953259.

While our XMR.ID stagenet test is about to conclude, I've taken the time to polish and publish another piece from my Sxmo collection - a set of tools that should help simplify your everyday Monero use on desktop, terminal and mobile.

It's called units and is intended to be used as your main calculator and friendly companion for quick XMR rate-conversions.

Feel free to report any issues.

Hi folks! Yesterday, I joined the club and installed PostmarketOS+phosh on my "new" OnePlus6. Besides a usb-c (power only) cable that cost me an hour to troubleshoot, everything went smoothly.

Well, nearly everything. What I cant figure out at this point is how to install and get software. I'm on the latest stable release which might have been a mistake but I'm usually quite cautious at first.

So my problem is pmos came with 16 apps preinstalled and the software app only shows these when I open it. Can someone confirm or deny if this is normal? I asked around in 5 different places for stuff in the last 16 hrs (yes, I did sleep in between) and I know a lot of stuff now but this I could not figure out. :D

I know I can install flatpak, which I did but it never shows any results at all which I find unrealistic. I put in the repo like it is shown in the wiki and I have internet. Something else must be wrong.

I'm an admin by trade and I do some software development as a hobby so feel free to assume I know how to use the command line. I'm only a full time linux user for maybe half a year.

Anybody got ideas what might be wrong?

I tried to update my Pinephone CE using "sudo apk upgrade -a" and received the error

"Not continuing due to stale/unavailable repositories. Use --force-missing-repositories to continue"

I am on 23.12 with Phosh. I remember hearing that the Pinephone may be getting dropped from main to community so I wasn't sure if this was related to that or something different. Is it safe to use the command it suggests ? I figured I would ask before blindly doing it.
