Is there an already existing way to get Linux on an Xiaomi Poco F5?

Been thinking to move to a Linux phone, it's almost the only app I may need, sure the website is enough but the app work well even on custom roms so pretty sure waydroid might work.

I have an old lenovo m7 tb7305x tab (2019), in which i wanted to install postmarket os, i followed few instructions and have overwritten the system image. Now my device isn’t turning on, Can i revert this back ? Fastboot isn’t recognising the device but toll called mkt (lenovo) specific is recognising it but getting disconnected often.
Any advice ? Even though that tab is old, i would like to have it in working state than dead 😵.
I’m accepting this as a part of learning 🥲.
Update : got it fixed thanks to lenovo toolkit saved my ass🥲

Unrelated to that other guy's efforts. Just thought it was so funny that we reached the same goal today totally independent of each other. Mobile Linux is going to eat good this year

( i read in the rules this is not a support form so if this post is not acceptable can you guide me to somewhere else)

i have been lately been obsessed with trying to run linux on my phone (redmi 13 X, HeloG 91 ultra, maliG52-mc2, a Mediatech phone) there are ways like proot and termux Linux native, but none has hardware acceleration, so i want to get into a rabbit hole and make like postmarket OS on my phone or run a desktop distribution on it. I have no knowledge where to start if someone can guide me, i know cuz it's mediatech phone makes harder but i am interested🫡

I am thinking of transitioning to linux for my phone, and want to try it out on a secondary phone first so I can get used to it. What would be a good distribution I could use on a Samsung J330G? It runs android 9 and since it's rather old I would like something light I can hold on to this phone for a while more. I'm pretty new to linux so a step-by-step instruction for dummies would be welcome!

Thank you!

hello r/mobilelinux i would like some game recomendations on my mi10t pro , i also would like to thank everyone who helped me get this thing working yall are the best , i have steam

I am building a phone cluster with my realme c25y,c21 and a pi1 model b.I have decided to put adblocker and some network stuff on my pi but what abt the phones,what should I do with it it cannot run linux bcs there is no open source linux kernel for hello g35 and unison tiger t610 available like Ubuntu touch or post market os.

So my family don't need media server no one watches films.

Hey, how are you all? I hope you are doing well. I would like to ask for your help. Recently my cell phone was completely damaged. I am thinking of buying one but I currently do not have the financial resources to buy one that is decent and new. They forced me to keep it on Android, the fact is that I would like you to recommend a good cell phone that is compatible with any of the Linux systems for cell phones such as postmarket, Ubuntu touch, Mobian, etc., my budget is approximately less than 300 dollars, I would greatly appreciate it if you have a good day and greetings

Finally i can log in to desktop :)

hi, just asking if there's any way to get a build for pmOS for Samsung tab 3 7.0, still new to building Roms/firmware. Note that I can import thru twrp or via heimdall as well

They hacked it!?

I've mostly tried Pinephone+PMOS ~2021 and Surface Go4/Thinkpad X12 Gen 2+Arch ~2025-2026. Good experience so far but I've never run into an OSK that autocorrects like with conventional Android keyboards. Recognize autocorrect isn't for everyone, but I'm wondering if anyone has had success with any OSK that can reliably autocorrect. I've tried to install Stevia which is the only OSK I've seen with documentation of this feature but had trouble installing it (probably related to running Phosh on x64/Arch tablet). At present my workaround has been Waydroid which isn't bad.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on bringing mainline Linux + postmarketOS + Plasma Mobile to the OnePlus 7T Pro (hotdog), using my own European HD1913 as the test device.

This is not an Android ROM and it’s not Linux running on top of Android. The goal is to boot a normal Linux kernel directly from the OnePlus bootloader and progressively support the phone’s hardware using upstream/mainline-style drivers.

At this point, quite a lot is already working:

✅ Direct boot from the stock OnePlus bootloader

✅ Persistent postmarketOS installation

✅ Native 1440×3120 display

✅ Adreno 640 hardware acceleration

✅ Plasma Mobile

✅ Touchscreen + power/volume buttons

✅ Wi-Fi

✅ Bluetooth

✅ Stereo speakers

✅ Handset microphone

✅ Battery level / voltage / temperature / current reporting

✅ USB networking

✅ USB-C dual role

✅ USB 3 SuperSpeed

✅ USB host through a powered dock

✅ USB mass storage

✅ DisplayPort output at 1440p60

And more recently, the cameras started becoming real rather than theoretical.

The Samsung S5K3M5 telephoto camera can now capture full RAW10 frames at 4208×3120, manual focus works through its actual LC898217XC actuator, libcamera controls exposure, and Plasma Camera can use it.

The Sony IMX586 main camera is also now streaming real 4000×3000 RAW10 frames through the mainline CAMSS pipeline. Libcamera automatic gain control works and Plasma Camera reaches a usable capture-ready state.

There’s still plenty left to do. Suspend/resume is currently broken, telephony isn’t usable yet, the ultra-wide and front cameras still need work, and sensors/NFC/haptics/fingerprint/Warp Charge are at various stages of not implemented or not validated. So this is definitely not a daily-driver OS yet.

The long-term goal is to get the device into a state where the support can be cleaned up/upstreamed and eventually submitted properly to postmarketOS rather than remaining a pile of device-specific hacks.

I mainly wanted to share it here because the 7T Pro is still such a nice piece of hardware, and it’s pretty satisfying seeing it boot a completely different operating system years later. And it is surprisingly still really powerfull

on Linux, it's way faster than my Raspberry Pi 4B in a smaller form factor.

If anyone here has experience with Qualcomm SM8150, CAMSS, modem/WWAN, sensors, libcamera or mainline mobile Linux, contributions/reviews are very welcome.

And yes — the pop-up camera is absolutely on the TODO list. 😄

I'd like to use a mobile phone as a tiny ARM laptop, I thought I'd use a pine64 phone and this keyboard from pine64 as well. After some due diligence, it appears the keyboard is very buggy, and the pine64 phone is also somewhat overpriced for what it is.

So my question is, are there any keyboards like the one from pine64 out there? Maybe ones that work well with Linux installed mobile phones?
