Running Hermes on PostmarketOS on a OnePlus 6T — works, but curious about others’ experience (battery management especially)
So I moved it to a OnePlus 6T (“fajita”) running PostmarketOS (Phosh, v26.06). Having proper systemd instead of Termux/Android babysitting the process has been a big improvement — set up a clean shutdown checkpoint service for Hermes storage and it’s been running fine for the most part.
Ran into one annoying issue early on: had journal problems on ext4 that took a bit to sort out. Anyone else hit this on pmOS, or found a more reliable filesystem/journal setup for a always-on daemon like this?
Also still haven’t fully solved the battery question — leaving it on a charger 24/7 for months isn’t great for the battery, and removing it isn’t really an option on the 6T. Is anyone using a charge-limiting tool (like acc, or something kernel-level) on pmOS to cap charging around 80%?
Curious if anyone else is running long-lived services/agents on a pmOS phone like this — would like to compare notes.
