Guess I better dig out that old Nexus 7 I have somewhere.
- I'm trying to install it on my Nexus 7, and having a tough time. I'd like to know how you make out.
  
  Well F it then. Not worth my time 😂
  
  Thanks for saving me the effort.
I run it on my second phone, a OP6T. GNOME on mobile has improved a lot. The framerate is higher and the keyboard is more consistent. Auto rotate now works. I still wouldn't use it as my daily driver though since the camera still doesn't work, voice input with pipewire is very wonky and it still crashes every now and then. Random touch input bugs happen twice a day too, forcing me to reboot. It got so far but it still has a bit left to go.
- I whish there was a complete OSS phone with good specs 🥲 but with alm the arm PCs Comming there might be a change
  
  Cann you add mobile Networking to a Raspberry pi compute Module? 🤔
  
  You could buy the same modem that is in the pinephone in mini pcie format and use a usb adaptor to connect it to a pi.
  
  I think a project that uses the pi cm4 format and adds a modem, screen, buttons, speaker and bms to be a compelling open-source phone.
I happen to have a Fairphone 4. It's listed as supported, but not with all its features.

Anyone here tried PostmarketOS on Fairphone 4?
- I have! I tried it over a year ago, and LTE wasn't working so I gave up. According to this it's still not functioning :( https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_4_(fairphone-fp4)
  
  From what I read on the wiki, they're mostly testing the mainline kernel. I wonder how the device support would be with vendor downstream kernel.
It’s great to see this project still chugging along. I tried it on an old phone & it worked, but it would run into readonly filesystem errors after a few hours of usage. I never got to figure out why since I ended up actually needing to use the phone while mine had broken so it’s LineageOS for microG now.
Is there a way for me install postmarket os on the pixel 3a xl? As I was bashed on the head for using Ubuntu Touch.

  do not look like
  
  I'm saving that page!
Flashing Lenovo A6000 failed when I did it about a year ago.

Bricked the phone, didn't manage to fix it even with Qualcomm tools.

Wasn't worth pursuing further to me back then. Would love to know if someone succeeded!
Wait, there is POS for convertibles?
