I just made some changes to @libcamera to export focus/brightness controls and created a PoC app to work with it via @pipewire (wireplumber gobject api) in @vala_lang because why not? @postmarketOS
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (11/2025): #Libadwaita 1.7 and news from #Sxmo
"If it doesn't support #WhatsApp natively, it's going to be a failure" was one of the common criticisms during #UbuntuPhone times ten years ago.
"Does it support #Signal?" is a common question about #linuxphones.
Good reminder that we still haven't figured out messaging at all and #lockin can easily happen even with solutions that look more free and open at first glance. There are still no good alternatives to Signal's iOS/Android apps.
With @furilabs latest release they added in a pretty big UX improvement for folks that need android apps. There is now a gnome software plugin that will let you interface with fdroid apps as if it was native. This removes the need to open up fdroid to install applications or update them. You can now manage all that in a single place. Here's a recording of me installing pixelix android app via gnome software. Its got kinks but the idea is great!
@itsfoss Would this also work for #mobilelinux #linuxonmobile?

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (09, 10/2025): Too much to put in a title
So I lost my jingpad when I moved in 2022. I just found it. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket is I can put on it? Ideally I'd like it to be Linux, not Android. It's starting to look like my options are cybersecurity nightmare, or paperweight.
Boosts appreciated!
@itsfoss Sadly, no ARM build for #mobilelinux #linuxonmobile yet.
I sent my OnePlus 6 focus driver upstream

And some random cat came to pay his respects, I guess. Photo taken on a OnePlus 6 running @postmarketOS

Due to personal health issues (nothing too critical, don't worry), Peter won't be able to publish a "Weekly #MobileLinux Update" post this weekend. The current plan is to have a combined post about two weeks on the 8th of March.
Sorry about that!
If you're impatient you can always use the pipeline (by re-running this https://framagit.org/linmob/linmob.frama.io/-/jobs/2738005 job tomorrow 
Great to see all the progress happening, especially in @mobian and the #MobileLinux topic close to my heart - improving cameras and photography!
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (08/2025): Cameras and Project Updates
For those running #postmarketos with #systemd: you may want to run `systemctl preset-all` from time atm. until the MR below lands. Right now most updates adding more service files don't apply presets and thus don't enable the services by default - they only get enabled in new image builds.
