My quest to 100% feature completeness continues!
Today i bring before you… The working microphone!
Now everyone is going to ask:
Does this mean working calls?
I asked the same thing, and with maybe a bit too much excitement i inserted my SIM card.
But the answer is no, neither audio nor mic work in calls.
It seems having them work in userspace is not enough.
So it seems that that requires additional work (coming soon!)
To give updates on my previous posts aswell.
For all 3 (GPS, NFC, audio) patches have been submitted, i’ve had contact with the freedesktop and maintainers on the LKML and they have requested changes, and a v2 is out for all. But don’t expect them to reach phones anytime soon.
GPS:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/libqmi/-/merge_requests/470: maintainer requested some renames, adressed and waiting for review.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/merge_requests/1463: stuck as draft until libqmi patch lands
NFC:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260705190621.128257-1-jorijnvdgraaf@catcrafts.net/ Sashiko AI review found a bug in my code and maintainer requested small change, both addressed in v2.
audio:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260705033743.305783-1-jorijnvdgraaf@catcrafts.net/ maintainer requested significant changes, addressed in v2
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260704192857.88366-1-jorijnvdgraaf@catcrafts.net/ awaiting review
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260705033830.305907-1-jorijnvdgraaf@catcrafts.net/ RFC patch resulting from requested changes, i think this one might get quite the tail…
Audio is turning into quite the story, way more then i expected.
When having a working patch ive learned the work is far from over.
I was thinking of maybe hosting my own downstream kernel with all my fixes, if there is demand for it.
(also open letter to the mods if these posts are becoming spam and if its turning too much into my personal blog?)


Do you take donations?
Thank you really! But im just a guy trying to defeat big tech in my free time :)
If you want to donate, please do so to linux projects like KDE and PostmarketOS
They definitely deserve a few euros their way!
Thank you very much! Truly!
But if you have spare euros you want to donate them to serious linux organizations that maintain your distro, DE, or any other software you use.
If you really want to give it to me specifically then please make a donation to KDE in my name.
I just sent 50 euros to KDE’s SEPA account. Thanks for your efforts ;)
Wow! thank you!!!
