Most parts work, still not sure why Bluetooth gives me errors in dmesg, audio out works, microphone input not yet… I’m getting there.
But graphics, charging, low standby power consumption, LTE, wifi… those all work already.
The fact that postmarketOS has support and also that there are people working on mainline support, makes this a task that is not as difficult as I thought, as most work was already done for another distro.
Otherwise it runs more fluid than Android ever did on it and it has a great standby time (forgot to turn it off at around 80 % and a few days later it was at 58 %).
For now stuck on merging the Kernel patches from the sdm670-mainline project with those from Mobian, not really something I can do without knowing C. I just hope someone with the right skills does it at some point.
Then I just need to make some smaller merge requests, like one to add a udev rule for vibration support and so on.
Not much missing before I can finally use it as a daily driver.
Ubuntu touch is pretty but useless. Unlike postmarketOS/Mobian it doesn’t support native linux apps.
Not exactly. But while UBPorts has a good looking user interface, they don’t have many UBPorts apps yet. A regular distribution can often be more useful, but as always it depends on the use-case.
What can we talk about when there isn’t even an up-to-date version of the browser for Ubuntu touch?
