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: FP6 feature support table

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.

    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.
