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.
I wish I had knowledge in coding and programming. I find it fascinating how someone could grab code from something and add whatever they want for the greater good. No matter how hard I try, it doesn’t click. All my brain power goes towards musical knowledge.
Well it’s funny you say that cause i tried music once and found it very hard.
I’m making a game with a few friends and i’m really in awe of what the artists do, maybe it’s just human to be in awe of things you struggle with and downplay things you are good at.
I want to post a low tech guide soon on how to do Linux mobile development, so maybe you find that useful.
