Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (42/2024): Pushy Cameras
Hi,
Followup on placing calls with #sxmo on #pixel3a
I've successfully placed a call today using the internal mic from command line !
Sxmo dialer does this sequence : create call, change audio mode, start call. And mic is not correctly set up.
But if instead I do : create call, start call, change audio mode ... then it works
At least it worked once for me (I won't rejoice too much before making this work reliably ;))
Now I'll try to reproducee and tweak sxmo scripts ...
Here comes the #postmarketos wiki page for #sxmo on #pixel3a ... hope it will prove as active and usefull as the one for #op6 ;)
If I compare #pixel3a with #oneplus6 on #sxmo
#op6 has gps, status led, tristate button, better cpu and an headphone jack
#p3a has better sound in calls, cameras starting to work, no notch, smaller size
Two very good phones to use on #linuxmobile
I won't have much time to play this weekend, but I've kept my sim in the #pixel3a for now ;)
Small update on #sxmo on #pixel3a
* Calls work very well with the forecoming ucm profiles
* sensors working through iio proxy, sxmo scripts to use them for proximity works
* wifi and 4g data ok
* front camera works in megapixel preview, won't take photo but this should evolve quickly
* gps enabled but not sending data/status (as with op6 from wrong android rom)
I've received a refurbished #pixel3a ...
I have installed #postmarketos / #sxmo on it and it "mostly works" even with no device profile
I now need to figure out how to tweak callaudio to make calls ... it works on gnome mobile, but on sxmo, it fails to switch to "call mode" ... on pavucontrol I only see a "Voice calls" profile (same on gnome mobile but works there)
I should have some time next week to try and figure out, but by then, if someone has an idea, they are welcome ;)
@techsaviours Another #LinuxMobile system that has not been named and that works very well with the #Pixel3a is @droidian. Droidian works very well on the Redmi Note 9 Pro (on all Miatoll devices) and although it is currently without official maintenance @gnumdk will take care of its maintenance.

There were FOSSILS in the rocks.
