@mntmn 7-8 inches would be great especially if it's a narrow design like 18:9. Might be too large for some folks but reengineering my pocket is easier than engineering and producing a phone. In fact, I have a skilled pocket engineer available in-house.

Also, small designs limit usability. #Linuxphones are full fledged computers so larger screens allow you to use it as a pocket pc without plugging in peripherals. My #Librem5 screen is 5.7" but practically it's almost reduced by half by the onscreen keyboard.

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,

After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.

We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )

Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.

The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.

[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

(1/n)

I'm at 3 USB A to C cables that my #purism #librem5 somehow has turned into "slow charging cables". Is anyone else having this issue? I can't prove with certainty that it's the Librem 5 doing it, but it's the common denominator.

For what it's worth, the charging is slow even if I use a different device, adapter, and power source.

Continued thread

For those interested, I’ve pushed the firmware that implements the necessary alt-mode dance to get UART out of the #Librem5's USB-C port to #Debubo’s repository.

It wasn’t pushed before because it was very crude and I wanted to clean it up before pushing. It still is, but I decided to actually get it out regardless rather than risk having it sit and wait for even more months 😛

How to speed up your phone for free - tested guide, it works!

1. Enable KASAN and other kinds of instrumentation while debugging your phone's kernel.
2. Notice how it makes things slower, but not slow enough to be unusable.
3. Keep using the phone this way.
4. Get used to it and forget that these things are enabled.
5. Many months later, get back to stock kernel config while doing something unrelated and enjoy your newly unlocked extra performance! 😝

@pavel @usia @cas In case of #Librem5, the front cam already does 10-bit, and you should be able to easily get it to work with lower res on the back cam. The problem is with higher bandwidth requirement of full res mode at 10-bit that AFAIK nobody really looked at and debugged so far. Help welcome.
