I really want to turn this phone into my daily driver, so i started working on one of the features i would want in a daily driver, working GPS.
This is the current component support table of postmarketos:
i think audio is too complex for me, so i decided to tackle GPS, as you can see its currently listed as broken, but not anymore!
It really helped i have another FP6 running android, i could directly inspect how it was talking to the modem to get it working.
So i started pulling threads and here we are. I want to upstream this and i’m making an account so i can submit patches for modemmanager and libqmi, but i have never upstreamed something before, so advice is appreciated!
If you have a linux phone and want to use it as a daily driver, see if you can contribute it! this is how we build up the linux ecosystem.
It runs pretty well for me, the things listed on the wiki as works do in fact work.
When swithichg tabs you get a flickering glitch, so please don’t get it if you are photosensitive.

TYVM! I unfortunately actually am photosensitive, so that’s a dealbreaker sort of out the gate. I’ll have to wait for that to be patched. I appreciate the info, though!
The flicker might not be there with other DEs so it might be fine with another one but i can’t confirm it, all i can say is that for plasma mobile the flicker is present.
