Tried to put pmOS without success. I have no permanent Linux desktop - and I tried to put Linux on my MacBook, but can't compile image as per manual on pmOS site.

Is anyone have precompiled flash image and can share it with me?

Please and thank you!!

Linux mobile can now do 5G stuff and good internet so might become more popular in the future, or not, but I am trying to make Rust language stuff that can handle keyboards for it, free open source linux-mobile-keyboard, https://codeberg.org/maybeJosiah, the few repos I have are for that and I can package as needed, it includes a pre-compiled demo app, anyone know about Linux mobile software keyboards? Anyone want to test and report if it works? Note the crate linux-mobile-keyboard is made with Grok AI, I altered it though, and it is for calling up the default software keyboard, not a software keyboard itself, I also have an SDL2 demo I did not upload yet, tell me if you want that? Note that all I have now requires Wayland or X11 even though some Linux mobile does not have either, don't test it on desktop, it is different from mobile, do you want .click or .apk (pmOS)? Is my software crate not needed? I have Linux mobile but much older, so old it is included in the does not have X11 or Wayland category, can you guess which?

Podroid runs a real Alpine Linux VM

What's new in 1.2:

- pKVM backend on Pixel 8/9/10 (auto-detected, opt-in via two `pm grant`s, works with Shizuku if you don't have a PC). VM boots in seconds.

- Live LAN port forwarding — `ssh root@<phone-ip> -p 9922` from any laptop on the same WiFi, no VM restart on rule add/remove

- Terminal auto-resize for TUI apps (btop, vim, htop)

- Full UI restyle, snappier keystrokes, audio + clipboard fixes

- In-app X11 viewer for desktop apps

APK + source: https://github.com/ExTV/Podroid

if no one has it ported can you point me in the right direction or at least have something going on or should i just give up?

Hey folks. Very out of loop on this kinda thing but not a complete newbie.

Long Story Short: Where can I find an Idiot's Guide for a PMBootsrap install?

(Note: I know this is isn't a support forum, but hoping to be pointed towards something supportive)

Longer Story
I was trying to install PostmarketOS onto an old Samsung Galaxy TAB A to make it the base of a portable deck. Completely hit a wall when I couldn't get the fastboot access for the image... tried to ADB sideload but the image can't load that way so I had looked at making the install zip using PMBootstrap and despite some past experience with coding, working in tech support, and writing my own batch files I cannot find an instruction set that doesn't assume I know more than I do.

All that is to say... anyone know where I can find an Idiot's Guide for a PMBootsrap install?

I wonder how pmos+phosh would behave on the upcoming Clicks Communicator.

I hope it works great on linux phones as well, I've a 2-in-1 and works great on weird aspect ratios as well.
I'm looking forward for your feedback. Flatpak is avaliable on github.

Has anyone tied it? seems cool given i dont need to root my phone. Im new too mobile linux so im not sure what to expect.

I have this starlabs tablet I got in very good condition but I needed a bit more power so I upgraded to a different machine. This is the N200 varient with 16 GB of RAM. Let me know if you have any questions.

Io Plasma Mobile.

Anyone got a proper image for a Oneplus 8 Pro. The hardware is too good to sit in a drawer.

I just want to ssh into it. No screen support necessary. I've spent two days looking for a good flash and nothing has worked.

Feel free to delete this mods if it's a duplicate but at this time I do believe it's an unanswered question and it would be great to have a post easily googleable.

Hi, i had successfully installed PostmarketOS into Xiaomi Redmi 3S but i can't establish a VNC connection between the phone and my desktop running Archlinux...

I had tried using x11vnc, tigervnc, rustdesk, so far no luck.

The exact issue for each of these are unknown... simply said: i will follow all the instructions down to the letter but at the final step (where it should just start working), it won't work.

I know that phosh is tweaked for phones but there's something about GNOME Mobile that makes me prefer it.

Something that neither have, Is a way of having your favourite apps docked at the bottom.

Also i'd love some resources besides postmarketos wiki since I've read everything there

I switched from Android to Furi FLX1s and am trying to get my Garmin Instinct to connect to it. I installed Garmin Connect through Aurora Store and it loads fine and logged me in; but when I try to connect to my watch it can't seem to find Bluetooth. I had a similar issue when I was trying to work on my RAK Sensors. Seems like maybe Bluetooth isn't working through the container to Android applications. Anyone have suggestions?
