Call for Testing: Phrog will be the new #Phosh login greeter in postmarketOS edge

> We will switch to a new greeter, Phrog, for our Phosh-based installations. Currently we're using tinydm which is getting be started by the init system and launches Phosh. But if testing goes well, we'll switch to Phrog, which is the recommended greeter by Phosh, fixes stuff for us like properly unlocking the keyring and has more features we could take advantage of in the future like a first boot application.

Quick demo at #WHY2025: The Fairphone 5 connected to Nreal AR glasses with Phosh and postmarketOS!

Together with @matthewcroughan at the NixOS tent, he's also trying to get them working with Monado!

I'm looking to de-Google my Xiaomi Redmi A5 and I'm not sure which route to take.
Has anyone successfully de-Googled a Xiaomi Redmi A5? If so, which OS did you use and what was your experience like? @postmarketOS @mobian @linmob @ubuntu@a.gup.pe @ubuntu@ubuntu.social @omgubuntu

Dear distro maintainers and i build my own stuff people:

In case you want to check out 0.49 release upfront: we've tagged the first release candidates (0.49~rc1) of #phosh and related components .

Release is planned 2025-08-15, just in time to celebrate at @FrOSCon .

Despite the date we hope it won't be 0815 (a common phrase in German meaning: boring) but has some exciting bits for everyone.

We've also tagged the companion releases for #feedbackd 0.8.4 and feedbackd-device-themes 0.8.5.

Sicelo brought #phosh to the venerable #N900 using #wlroot's pixman renderer as backend. It's not snappy as the device is too underpowered for that but awesome that it works !

Catching a real world and *unexpected* #Cellbroadcast message revealed some minor bugs in #phosh and its mobile settings but those were easy to spotted and fixes will land for 0.49. Overall #ModemManager, #cbd, and #phosh picked the message up as expected (and the channel setting worked as well):

It is so cool!
I am by no means an expert in those things but I got a linux OS running on a new smartphone.
This is a Fairphone 6 running PostmarketOS with Phosh and I love it.
Thank you @postmarketOS @phosh for all the great work.

This post was sent from the fairphone with @Tuba
A really great software for the fediverse even on a small mobile screen.

Hello ! We're Phosh.mobi e.V. a small non profit organization supporting the project in building a #LinuxMobile first user environment for everyone. You find us at https://ev.phosh.mobi

I've updated my #postmarketOS devices to v25.06 already.

If anyone's wondering how to migrate from OpenRC to Systemd from an existing installation, it can be done like this (here be dragons!):

# echo "https://mirror.postmarketos.org/postmarketos/extra-repos/systemd/v25.06" | tee -a /etc/apk/repositories
# apk update -Ua
# apk add postmarketos-base-systemd
# reboot now

I've tested this on installations using #Phosh and #Gnome desktop.

The team doesn't support this migration officially, though. Common warnings apply; do your backups, etc.

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (25/2025): Packed with Goodies
https://linmob.net/weekly-update-25-2025/

This week really was something: #postmarketOS ship 25.06 (which, among other things, adds systemd) and work to reverse-engineer #VoLTE, #FuriOS 13.1.0 lands with Open-Store support (for #UbuntuTouch apps) and plenty of other improvements, #PlasmaMobile share detailed log of all the fixes and improvements they managed to land in the past year (and what's to come), Jolla announce free #SailfishOS updates for all #JollaC2 customers, I managed to interview #Liberux about their Nexx phone - but there's way more still, including a packed Apps section. Enjoy!
#FuriLabsFLX1 #PureOS #Librem5 #LiberuxNexx #PinePhone #Phosh #LinuxMobile #LinuxOnMobile

postmarketOS v25.06 - "the one with systemd" is out now!

Thanks to @nlnet and @NGIZero for funding most of the infrastructure and maintenance work that went into this release as well as a lot of the systemd related work.
