My take on the "State of Mobile Linux"

Jump

  • The passcode doesn’t have to be 6-digit only, we could store the number of char somewhere if the user wants this feature!

    That is a good point, having this configurable would certainly be a nice change for everyone.

    One more thing regarding Phosh:

    what is wrong with the emoji keyboard?? it’s bad

    Now, there's not just Squeekboard (which is the default on postmarketOS), but we also have other keyboards that you can try:

    and some people have managed to get Sxmo's wvkbd to run with Phosh (see https://github.com/WHO53/wvkbd-phosh-osk for an example, I have tried another approach back in the day (but failed).

    • UT Feature Request: VoLTE for 4G Calls

    Jump

  • I think the matter is that:

    • all main UT contributors are aware that VoLTE is that many people need (and those who don't need it yet are going to need it eventually),
    • the project has been working on it for years,
    • but sadly it's difficult, because even if you get it to work, it's usually per device, and even when VoLTE works on a device on one carrier, that does not mean it will work on every carrier.

    Also, being asked / or even encouraged again and again about one thing, can lead to burnout and will definitely not bring up happy feelings.

  • Just chiming in regarding apps (because https://linuxphoneapps.org/ is my hobby, where I still have to add a bunch of apps I assume are created by you – if that's you, thanks for the apps!):

    no good Bitwarden client GoldWarden just crash and seems abandonned

    Have you tried https://codeberg.org/Chfkch/bitritter ?

    (I am a KeePass user, so my first hand experience is not comparable to real-world use)

    GS Connect works, but needs a tweak and UI is not good on small screen

    I'd suggest https://valent.andyholmes.ca/

    No lemmy apps

    Yeah, the state of Lemmy apps is not great. I've tried a bunch, and aside from the Lemmur fork (that seems abandonned), only Nimlem felt like it had potential.

    For the rest: I don't really use Discord, YouTube and don't have a Jellyfin instance, so ... can't suggest much here.

    Regarding Phosh and GNOME Shell Mobile:

    we need a way to bring up the OSK like on Phosh (holding the botto bar for a sec for example, maybe itcould be customizable too?)

    IIRC, double tapping the white bottom bar thing should do that. IMHO, like with gestures, I just would love to see more consistency between GNOME Shell Mobile and Phosh where possible.

    We NEED to press the unlock button after typing our code (would be neat to have the code automatically unlock the phone when we enter the same amount of characters as our passcode)

    I disagree here, IMHO, the iOS-style 6-digit thing on GNOME Mobile is worse (I usually have longer passcodes). Having to press the unlock button can even be seen as a security feature ;-)
