One year of postmarketOS
One year of postmarketOS
Here's a
detailed update from the postmarketOS project on its first year.
PostmarketOS is building an Android distribution aimed at keeping older
devices working in a supported mode; much of this work involves getting
mainline kernels working on various handsets.
"You might remember @bshah's photo of the Nexus 5 running mainline
with a flipped and distorted screen from December. @flto continued his
work: the display works without problems now. But it gets even better: the
touch screen is working, 3D acceleration is enabled with the open source
freedreno userspace driver, Wi-Fi works, and the best part is that
@MartijnBraam was able to send SMS and initialize a call via command line
as well as getting the connectivity signal from the modem through oFono
displayed in Plasma Mobile (#1502). All of that without proprietary
userspace blobs!
