Trying out the #kde#plasmamobile client 'Tokodon', in its android version. It works, but placing the cursor for corrections is difficult, I easily moves words by accident. It looks nice, but of course not native. I'm going to try #plasmamobile on a used phone, just to see what it can do at this point, even though it can probably not yet be a daily driver. Photo just for testing.
This utterly failed, fastboot was not able to write the userdata partition, so now I guess that phone is dead :\ well, not dead, at least. I managed to flash postmarketos using #pmbootstrap - but the phone does not boot, justshows spinning dots. Not sure where to go from here?
Slowly working on getting #postmarketos on my #oneplus6t. First step is to get it up to date for the sake of the firmware, which leads to downloading images from the default #oxygenos - and what a horror :o Not having lived in googleland for years, it is shocking how awfull using chrome and google search is ... Can't wait to turn it into a #linux#fossphone#linux#foss#plasmamobile!
IT WORKED - finally I'M IN!!!! Installing the prebuilt images with fastboot failed, but resorting to pmbootstrap worked - so now I have a #oneplus6T phone with #postmarketos and #plasmamobile 6 on it. I did order a simcard for it, but I haven't gotten that yet, so testing calls and sms must wait a few days.
How ever lots of things works - I can browse the internet with angelfish, look at photos, connect to bluetooth devices, record sound, play music, use KDE Connect, set alarms and use timers, view PDFs, use the shell and more ...
i can't use #tokodon (it freezes when trying to log in), so this is posted from my laptop, and my #nextcloud account configured in the plasmamobile settings does not work - no contacts or calendar events that way, or browsing files for that matter. #Okular shows a meaningful error message regarding files: webdavs:// fails. Not sure why #akonadi fails.
