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.
Yeah i really would want that too, but i’m also like if experienced developers couldn’t do it in all this time how can i do it? Maybe i am underestimating myself here so maybe later i’ll look into it. Sticking with the easy stuff for now.
Tbf you did just implement the gps so id say you sre underestimating yourself but of course take everything at your own pace. I shouldnt be the one talking cause all i can do is some really bad c code and some semi-decent bash scripting but yeah.
