pmos on jolla — tried pmbootstrap first time today. it knew about jolla device, only in edge, but alas the device works only under vendor kernel 3.4. also i guess it is not possible to install pmos to emmc on this device, it can only booted bf issuing a command when connected to the computer in fastboot mode. i wanted to install sxmo, and sxmo booted once, but i saw its screen only for two seconds, then it went black and volume or power buttons didn't work, i guess device was hung. sxmo with...
PostmarketOS 23.06 SP1 released — Well it looks like I'm late to the party this release. Three days ago 23.06 SP1 was released, see linlk for more info.

The new release of PostmarketOS dropped a couple of days ago and I managed to upgrade lastnight.

Just seen on the postmarketOS mastadon feed that auto screen rotate and in call screen deactivation is now working. It's not merged yet but but the MR looks to have been submitted 2 weeks ago. Also, includes auto screen brightness and compass.
The "new" OP6T arrived! — My replacement OP6T arrived yesterday after I finished work :) Not got PostmarketOS on it yet though. Spent some of lastnight scp'ing several directories from my current mobile to a backup folder on my x270. Hoping I can install pmbootstrap on my Linux laptop, build and flash an image before heading to see my Dad today but maybe I'm been a bit optimistic. The scp'ing over WiFi took a while lastnight (circa 1MB/s) not sure why it was so poor but I think I'll try doing...
I've been using gPodder-Adaptive since I started out with mobile Linux on an OG PinePhone. It's one of the maiin apps on my device besides Lagrange and I really can't fault it but I'm curious, are any of you using a different client and how does it compare?
