@postmarketOS omg!!

I was excited to hear the features, then disappointed to hear it's backed by proprietary libraries from #Gboard, but then excited again to learn this demonstrates the ability to run stuff from #LineageOS and its forks/ancestors without having to run a full-blown emulator! And not a normal app but a integrated subsystem no less 😮

If #postmarketOS were human, this would be a true #cyborg (in a good way) :postmarketos:

Tell Unihertz: Support the Jelly Max or let Lineage do it!

lemm.eeTell Unihertz: Support the Jelly Max or let Lineage do it! - lemm.eecross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/60123252 [https://lemm.ee/post/60123252] >Unihertz is one of the only phone manufacturers still making small phones. The Jelly Max is the only compact 5G Android phone on the market. > > BUT… Unihertz has a terrible track record when it comes to supporting their phones. Most OEMs issue Android and security updates for years. Unihertz phones often get less than 1 year of software/firmware support, including security updates. In a recent email to me, Unihertz confirmed, verbatim, “We don’t update our phones very often. And we’re not sure of the exact frequency of updates.” > > This is crazy, and it doesn’t have to be this way. Chris Allegretta has argued [https://www.asty.org/unihertz-its-not-too-late-to-save-the-jelly-max/] that Unihertz could allow the Lineage project to take over the Jelly Max and ensure that the phone is supported for years to come, simply by sending them some restore zips and 5 pre-prod units. That’s it! > > Tell Unihertz: Either support the Jelly Star, or help the Lineage team take it over. > > Unihertz also told me, “we do collect user feedback and forward it to our technical department. They will evaluate the feedback and implement updates if necessary.” So let’s give 'em some feedback! > > Their email is: > > # service@unihertz.com [service@unihertz.com] >

support for darker app icon background

lemmy.ml/post/27843355

lemmy.mlsupport for darker app icon background - Lemmy[https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobzorje.kompot.si%2Fapps%2Ffiles_sharing%2Fpublicpreview%2Fm7wX7xw7ybgHDyR%3Ffile%3D%252F%26fileId%3D9275787%26x%3D1920%26y%3D1080%26a%3Dtrue%26etag%3Dc8736e55e40cf4ccb90eb316efa2423a] The left side of the image above shows how icons currently look in LineageOS even when the dark theme is enabled in the phone settings. At least when using the default launcher, Trebuchet (com.android.launcher3). Right side is how I imagine that icons should look like with dark theme enabled. Ideally, this change should take affect across whole system. So on home screen, in the app drawer and in all other parts of the UI where app icons get displayed. My two questions for you: 1. Any ideas or suggestions for what options or workarounds could be used to achieve this right now? * Yes, launcher with support for custom icons could mitigate part of this issue. * Themed Icons affects just home screen and changes whole icons instead of just background. 2. What would be the development / contribution process for introducing this functionality into LineageOS by default? * LineageOS issue tracker prohibits submission of feature requests. Which part of the internet would then be most appropriate for discussion about how to make this happen? * Is this even within a scope of LineageOS? Should this feature be implemented within AOSP in order to get introduced into LOS?

@fanta Eu non teño Fairphone. Merquei un motorola de segunda man por 40€. Fixate si estaba como novo que inda tiña o plastiquito orixinal da pantalla (aparte de caixa e cargador orixinal). Soamente tivem que cambiar o sistema operativo a #LineageOS con #MicroG (e dicir, sin ningunha das apps de google) para ter un movil actuliazado e con bateria para dous dias mirando series. #consumoResponsable

We need a free/libre fork of #Android for the public commons. Google cannot be trusted.

Maybe that could be #lineageos or #Graphene, but given that they build on top of Android rather than driving the core development, I'm not certain they would be enough as it stands.

9to5Google · Google will develop Android OS entirely behind closed doors starting next weekBy Ben Schoon

Ich hab heute mehrere Stunden gegen Samsung gekämpft um #lineageos auf einem A52s zu installieren - erfolgreich.
Und jetzt ist die Kamera enttäuschend und kontrastlos und ich will nicht in das Gerät einziehen, das nervt doch 😔

Die Kamera und eine gute Scanfunktion ist so ein wichtiges Werkzeug in meiner Praxis. Hmpf

Hat wer Lösungen? Habe keine Google Addons installiert..

Hab mich jetzt mal bei den Fossify Apps umgesehen - fossify.org/apps/ - und direkt die von LineageOS mitgebrachten Apps für Telefonate, Kontakte und SMS durch die Varianten von Fossify ersetzt. Ein paar nützliche Optionen mehr an Bord, ohne deswegen im funktionalen Overkill zu enden, und ein netteres Erscheinungsbild gibt's noch dazu.

Der Kalender könnte evtl. durchaus den bisher verwendeten aCalendar ersetzen, die Apps für Kamera, Dateimanager und Galerie muss ich mir erst noch genauer anschauen.

Aber so als Zwischenfazit: Ein Blick darauf lohnt.

El sábado se estropeó mi móvil. 80€ para cambiar la pantalla. Gracias, pero no gracias.
Al final me compré uno "nuevo" (recondicionado), y esta vez tomé más cuidados para comprar un modelo que puedo flashear con #lineageos , un Android libre de Google. Lo difícil es que muchas veces solo ponen el nombre del modelo, pero luego hay un número de variantes, y no todas puedes flashear.
A ver cuando tengo el tiempo para flashear el móvil con LineageOS ( https://lineageos.org/ ) con microG ( https://microg.org/ ), para liberarme de Google y también de todo el bloatware de la marca de mi móvil.
