#flx #linuxphones #halium For anyone considering a Furilabs FLX phone, I just wanted to point out there's been a lot of issues going on with the company recently. Their blog post in 2024 about 4G and 5G were found to be false, as even today 5G still doesn't work properly in the USA on T-Mobile, on their FLX1 like they claimed it completely did. They also are now closing the source code to Andromeda, their Android compatibility layer...

@privacyguides I think #LinuxMobile is the only real path forward for freedom.

Instead of hoping in #Google, it would be better in the long run if concerned users rallied behind #Linux options (mainline or #Halium-based), and there are quite a few now, existing and upcoming.

Ein Paar Korrekturen zu meinem @datenspuren talk zu #linuxmobile:
- neben #postmarketos ist auch #mobian komplett frei und läuft auf einem mainline Linux kernel. Droidian ist zwar verwandt mit Mobian, ist wiederum aber #halium basiert
- libhybris ist ein Kompatibilitätslayer um Android Applikationen (z. B. Treiber) auf einem Linux laufen zu lassen (meinte ich so, habs aber versehentlich andersrum gesagt)
- die Mail app auf einer der Folien war
natürlich #geary und nicht #evolution

It seems that we’re getting closer to having Linux phones that are actually usable. Exciting!

I keep forgetting Phoc is wlroots. I wonder how well Sway runs on Halium phones, then. Can't seem to find any info about that.

So I've been thinking about porting either #lineageos or #ubuntutouch on my #vivo y20 2021, however the issue is idk if the kernel i need to build #halium is the one that's mentioned on vivo's site, like y20 was released in 2020 but then re released in 2021 (the one i have)… it's currently running android 11, however the kernel available is for Android 13???

Is that really supposed to be for vivo y20 2021?? 🤧

@bhyoram A lot of Linux-Android glue logic is missing. #Pipewire also doesn't have a #droidmedia plugin to access cameras on #Halium devices.

@tripplehelix

You mean via something like #Waydroid?

Or are you referring to #Alpine packages?

The hardware support is such a bugbear, though. It'd be nice if they started using #Halium

I finally got around to writing about another #LinuxMobile device. I was originally going to do the pinephone pro but I decided to wait for 6.11 so I can include the new camera driver. Instead I tested the @furilabs #flx1 . Its been a great phone and is one of the best working linux phones I've tested. It does have caveats so its not perfect for everyone. Biggest is US support is limited until they release new modem firmware soon:TM:. Its also #halium based. https://blog.luigi311.com/furilabs-flx1/

Lilbits: Furi FLX1 Linux smartphone, Tile’s new Bluetooth trackers, and Haiki OS R1 Beta 5

The Furi FLX1 is a $499 smartphone from with a 6.6 inch FHD+ 120 Hz IPS LCD display, a MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 50MP primary camera. Basically it has the specs of a mid-range Android phone, but instead of Android this phone ships with a Linux-based operating system called Furi OS.

First introduced earlier this year, the phone had limited support […]

Heute im Lauf des Tages immer mal wieder nach Alternativen zu #UbuntuTouch auf'm #Fairphone3 gesucht. Nix.

Sollte theoretisch kein soo großes Problem sein eine "normale" Linux-Distri auf einen Android-Kernel, via #libhybris und #Halium aufzusetzen?

Macht keiner.

LuneOS (ehem WebOS) evtl noch?

#PostmarketOS ist die Variante ohne alberne verrenkungen… geht nicht weil kein Hardware-Support.

Also doch zurück zu Plan A? MiA1 oder kleiner als "mini-Gerät"/Hotspot UND mini-PC zusätzlich?

I just installed UBports otherwise known as Ubuntu Touch.

It's so weird. I thought it's Linux, and it kind of is, but not really. The app store has none of your classic Linux apps let alone Ubuntu packages. It's all web apps, which is fine I guess?

You can install X11 applications through a container system called Libertine.

It's very polished, though. Performance is good, animations are smooth, and the Camera works! 🥳

@FLOSS_Weekly @JP_Bennett @dsearls Would be great if you could also interview the #Droidian dev who launched the #FLX1 Linux mobile phone recently.

Lindroid is an Android app that lets you run Linux in a container, with support for hardware-acceleration

Lindroid is a new open source app that lets you install a GNU/Linux distro on an Android device and run Linux applications with full support for your phone’s hardware.
It does this by putting Linux into a container and using technologies like Halium to enable support for hardware-accelerated graphics and other hardware on Android […]
