Nice, and well designed.

Some specialists and exigent people said to me it's nicely made.
It'll improve.

Excited to announce that the FOSS on Mobile devroom returns for #fosdem 2026! 🥳

Communities from multiple Linux Mobile projects come together there and hold talks about what was achieved, what challenges lie ahead, how we can collaborate to solve them, as well as random interesting things […]

#feedbackd now ships a media role configuration to separate audio volumes but it is not installed by default yet as this will need #wireplumber 0.5.13 to work properly. You can try it out by building feedbackd with the `-Dmedia-roles=true` option. Feedback appreciated (pun intended 🙃) […]

Dear distro maintainers and i build my own stuff people:

In case you want to check out 0.51 release upfront: we've tagged the first release candidates (0.51~rc1) of #phosh and related components 🎉 📱 .

Release is planned 2025-11-16.

We've also tagged the companion releases for #feedbackd 0.8.7 […]

Apart from under the hood changes to brightness and auto-brighness in #Phosh that landed for 0.51 there's also now an indication when auto brightness is active and @arunmani added a toggle to settings so you can quickly turn it on and off. When auto-brightness is on the slider now also acts as […]

Save the dates: We're having an online community get together at 2025-11-18 and an offline one at @datenburg at 2025-12-04 . Everyone interested in #Phosh and the @ev is invited to drop by and chat. Hope to see you there.

Phoshi decided to be a bit more scary on #halloween. Try it yourself on https://phosh.mobi

#Phosh

Two (hopefully) useful additions to #Phosh's quick settings: There's now a (optional) location service toggle to enable / disable location services (contributed by @gauthamx) and the caffeine quick setting can now automatically disable itself after a given period of time (contributed by […]

A screenshot from #phosh's gitlab page showing the number of open, closed and total bugs.

We closed the 1000th bug in #phosh today (and that's only counting the issues in the shell itself, not the other parts of the stack):

#LinuxMobile

Audio Roles, Volumes and Routes What if you want to have your phone’s alarm clock volume different from your music playback volume and have the later go to speakers while alarms should continue to go to the phone’s speaker? While this could be handled manually via per application volume and sink setups, this doesn’t scale well on phones that also have emergency alerts, incoming calls, voice assistants, etc. It also doesn’t specify how to handle simultaneous playback - for instance, if an incoming call rings while music is playing.

With some #wireplumber changes landing we're a big step closer to enabling separate volume controls for things like media, alerts, alarms, etc. in #Phosh. Here's a short overview on the current state: https://phosh.mobi/posts/role-based-routing/

#LinuxMobile

Hello from Phosh.mobi e.V. We are excited to announce the registration of Phosh.mobi e.V., a non-profit association under German law, that will foster development of Phosh and it’s many closely related components, as well as mobile Linux in general. This is one more step for our little tiger Link to heading

Our @ev@phosh.mobi says _Hello_ in a short post from the project blog: https://phosh.mobi/posts/hello-phosh-mobi-ev/

Luca Weiss (@z3ntu@fosstodon.org) Attached: 3 images Camera support on Fairphone 4 with postmarketOS is coming to you very soon! All 3 cameras are supported, main rear camera, ultra-wide camera and front camera. And all with a completely open source software stack of course! #postmarketOS #LinuxMobile #MobileLinux #libcamera #Fairphone #Fairphone4 #Cat #Caturday

Awesome @z3ntu and great to see it works with #Phosh too.

phosh 0.50.1 is out 🚀📱:

This is just a small point release update over 0.50.0 to fix some critical 🐛. Check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.50.1 for details.

🙏 to everyone who contributed to this release.

A screenshot from a phone runnig phosh. The feedback panel allows to configure the sounds for incoming phone calls, SMS, instant messaging and the alarm clock.

With more mobile distros shipping a #feedbackd enabled alarm clock we can show the UI to make the alarm sound configurable with a bit of heuristic (to make sure it's not configurable when not supported):

#phosh #LinuxMobile

phosh makes for quite the nice 10ft UI 👀

Richard (mental age 79) (@flamingradian@sineware.ca) Attached: 1 image Rogers: You wouldn't download a phone plan. It seems like someone got me a new phone, but I still have things to do on the Pixel 3a, and Rogers seems very expensive, so I downloaded my phone plan on a different carrier. both: - downloading the eSIM from the internet - paying for it, as in how Toronto once had to "download" the cost of some provincial highways to their own budget Rogers is also one of the few carriers that pushes IPv6-only.

Nice to see @z3ntu 's eSIM Manager in action

#Phosh and Phoc had nightlight support since ages but the only phone with out of the box gamma LUT support that could make use of it so far was the #PinePhone.

Thanks to @fizzo 's kernel work it works on Qualcomm based phones too now and makes the (optional) night light quick toggle useful on […]

Post by Mike Sheldon, @mike@hendike.co.uk With only minimal hackery, I've managed to get Flutter apps compiling and running natively on @postmarketOS@treehouse.systems Next steps will be adapting…

Another #PhoshSpotting as far as I can tell:

Factorio Running On Mobile As a video game, _DOOM_ has achieved cult status not just for its legendary gameplay and milestone developments but also because it’s the piece of software that’s likely been ported to the most number of platforms. Almost everything with a processor can run the 1993 shooter, but as it ages, this becomes less of a challenge. More modern games are starting to move into this position, and _Factorio_ may be taking a leading position. [Point Substantial] has gotten this game to run on a mobile phone. The minimum system requirements for _Factorio_ are enough to make this a challenge, especially compared to vintage title like _DOOM_. For Linux systems a dual-core processor and 8 GB of memory are needed, as well as something with at least 1 GB of VRAM. [Point_Substantial]’s Xiaomi Mi 9T almost meets these official minimum requirements, with the notable exception of RAM. This problem was solved by adding 6 GB of swap space to make up for the difference. The real key to getting this running is that this phone doesn’t run Android, it runs the Linux-only postmarketOS. Since it’s a full-fledged Linux distribution rather than Android, it can run any software any other Linux computer can, including Steam. And it can also easily handle inputs for periphreals including a Switch Pro controller, which is important because this game doesn’t have touch inputs programmed natively. The other tool that [Point_Substantial] needed was box86/box64, a translation layer to run x86 code on ARM. But with all the pieces in place it’s quite possible to run plenty of games semi-natively on a system like this. In fact, we’d argue it’s a shame that more phones don’t have support for Linux distributions like postmarketOS based on the latest news about Android. Thanks to [Keith] for the tip!

Phosh Nightly Package Builds Tightening the feedback loop Link to heading One thing we notice ever so often is that although Phosh’s source code is publicly available and upcoming changes are open for review the feedback loop between changes being made to the development branch and users noticing the change can still be quiet long. This can be problematic as we ideally want to catch a regression or broken use case triggered by a change on the development branch (aka main) before the general availability of a new version.

In case you wonder why there are no more updates coming in: The nightly package builds mentioned in https://phosh.mobi/posts/phosh-nightly/ switched from being Debian Trixie based to Debian Forky. The new suite is called `forky-nightly`.

#Phosh

A screenshot from a Phone running Phosh. It shows a test cellbroadcast message from the Vodafone network.

I keep posting these until it gets boring: #Cellbroadcast received yesterday on a #OnePlus6t running #Phosh , #cellbroadcastd and #ModemManager . Just showed up, no fiddling, just using distro packages.

Although the project finished some months ago: Thanks to @NGIZero for funding work on this.

This is the also the first release serve from @ev infrastructure with a new, automated setup making things more reproducible and allowing to have things more easily managed by multiple people.

7/7

Further changes in other components:

* The file chooser portal was migrated to Rust making the wallpaper portal the last non-Rust one that exposes UI
* feedbackd now recognizes the haptic motor on the #Fairphone5
* The flash LED will be less bright when using it as notification LED on the […]

Thanks to the work of @newbyte mobile settings can now handle the YAML based config tweaks formerly known as "#postmarketOS tweaks". Not all backend types are supported yet but the remaining ones should land in the 0.51 cycle:

5/x

* Deletion with the `presage` completer now work better as we pick up the partially deleted word correctly
* We also tweaked the styling a bit to make the characters more prominent



4/x

Since most distributions ship stevia as default on-screen keyboard nowadays we decided to promote it to a core component. It gained several new features
in this release.

* Text auto complete automatically adds a space when inserting a word. We now remove […]
