Guido GüntherI'd like to understand how Android handles some QMI bits and found tooling by <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@joelselvaraj" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@joelselvaraj</a> for that on the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@postmarketOS" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@postmarketOS</a> wiki (<a href="https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Modem_Debugging" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Modem_Debugging</a>). That needs a patched Android kernel, so I took some notes how I got that to work on a Pixel 3a.

Bardiafor this months updates, we are reworking our fingerprint setup entirely. the daemon (Biomd) is now written from scratch and no longer links against QT or libhybris. while at it, i ended up writing a PAM module and a provider for <a href="https://social.likeadragonmaid.dev/tags/Fprintd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fprintd</a> which means all existing applications that use Fprintd will now work with our service.one thing i wanted to experiment with was parallel PAM instances for stuff like sudo, so here is how far i got in about an hour<a href="https://social.likeadragonmaid.dev/tags/furilabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#furilabs</a> <a href="https://social.likeadragonmaid.dev/tags/flx1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#flx1</a> <a href="https://social.likeadragonmaid.dev/tags/LinuxMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LinuxMobile</a> <a href="https://social.likeadragonmaid.dev/tags/furiphoneflx1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#furiphoneflx1</a>

EdenIsASpoodBig problem I see coming to <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/linuxmobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linuxmobile</a> is overlapping gestures of the shell and the app. On IOS and Android the top and bottom of the screen are always used for the mobile interface, so apps can make use of the sides. How do we work around the issue of apps not being able to rely on side gestures on linux mobile? I've seen apps with side swipe gestures also use a button at the top left corner which helps.Should apps design with side gestures by default?<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/postmarketos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#postmarketos</a>

It continuously loses its connection to the servers. Sometimes it can't seem to open its database and defaults to re-linking without any error message. The UI likes to freeze. It definitely shouldn't be mentioned as a potential replacement for Signal's Android/iOS clients.

Total Sonic MediaThis is some bs. If AOSP development is made less publicly accessible it does NOT " simplify things for developers" but rather it hinders it for de-googled privacy respecting ROMs and their device ports. The need for continued and ramped up efforts developing alternative mobile OS's, like Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish OS, Droidian, Mobian, Postmarket, etc. is even more apparent with this move by Google. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linuxmobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linuxmobile</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/degoogled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#degoogled</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#android</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aosp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aosp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ubuntutouch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ubuntutouch</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sailfishos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sailfishos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mobian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mobian</a><a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/03/google-makes-android-development-private-will-continue-open-source-releases/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/03/google-makes-android-development-private-will-continue-open-source-releases/</a>
