welp. my phone bricked.
fuck it.
I need help. #AskFedi
Can I get #WayDroid ( #Android #LineageOS) to use my phone number somehow for calls and everything? Is there a service for this?
Do you use your #Linux / #Fedora laptop for #telephony?

When not using Google Play services (e.g. #GrapheneOS, #LineageOS users), #Signal can be a real battery drain. @mollyim with @unifiedpush on the other hand is extremely battery efficient.
Here's how to set this up, using #Nextcloud as the UnifiedPush provider: https://kroon.email/site/en/posts/molly-unifiedpush

📱 Mobian Trixie Officially Released with Broader Device Support / @linuxiac
「 Over two years in development, this release brings an updated base aligned with Debian 13, Phosh 46.0 (a mobile user interface for Linux phones), and Plasma Mobile 6.3 desktop environments, as well as a Linux kernel 6.12 for most supported devices. The Librem 5 remains on kernel 6.6 for now 」

@jbz @linuxiac I have a Oneplus 6, so I might just give it a go. #LineageOS has unfortunately come to the end of the road, for that phone (after a good long go, which I'm grateful for).
Some big news regarding mobile OSes:
First, Graphene OS has confirmed a partnership with a large OEM to bring support to non-Pixel devices (Snapdragon SoC):
https://piunikaweb.com/2025/10/13/grapheneos-ending-pixel-exclusivity-new-oem/
This is good news, but IMHO it only delays the unavoidable demise of free AOSP-based projects since Google is now finally pulling the rug.
Second, the FSF announced Librephone, an initiative to bring real freedom to mobile devices:
https://www.fsf.org/news/librephone-project
This is also good, but it must be taken in the right perspective: Librephone, as far as I understand it, is not a new mobile OS, but rather an initiative to open-source existing proprietary firmware blobs. AOSP-based open source OSes like Lineage, Graphene, and even /e/OS, will hopefully benefit from this initiative, by being able to replace binary blobs with open-source firmware. But they still remain AOSP-based solutions, and therefore bound to the Google ecosystem.
There are two problems here that really need to be addressed.
The first one is political. Legislators and citizens must come to acknowledge that a democratic society where the full mobile ecosystem is in the hands of a corporate duopoly is not acceptable.
The second one is technological: AOSP is not a fully free OS, it's a trojan horse, a trap set by Google years ago that is springing right now. We need to move away from Android and embrace full GNU/Linux solutions, or even something completely new, at this point I don't even care. I've heard good opinions of Postmarket OS. Any feedbacks here?
Say what you want about Richard Stallman, but he saw this coming.

Telefony wracają już do naszego widza – każdy z nich został wyposażony w możliwie najnowszą wersję LineageOS, oczywiście bez usług Google 😉

📣 Hey, #Google "disable" Google apps is not "uninstalling" them. You can't dodge the EU’s #DMA rules by redefining language.
👏 Thanks to @fsfe and allies, a complaint has been filed to stop this abuse and protect user freedom.

@Tutanota @fsfe I only noticed recently on a phone at work. Having all my personal devices on #LineageOS since day 0 I didn't even know these things came preinstalled. I can't imagine why someone would keep stock Android on their phone, some people are weird
I really wish more #foss projects would make their android apks available on F-droid or other non-google app stores. 😤
Otrzymaliśmy kilka telefonów od jednego z naszych widzów. Zgodnie z jego życzeniem usuwamy z nich usługi Google oraz chińskie systemy MIUI — instalujemy zamiast nich LineageOS oraz postmarketOS. Będzie materiał z tej operacji 🔥

Unlocking bootloader etc. on new phone in prep for installing #LineageOS. I deeply enjoy this process
My #oneplus3t died. Did not start, did not charge. Cleaned the usb-c port, still did not charge. (It has a notification #led which remained dark, indicating that nothing was happening.) Nevertheless, I left it charging for >24h with no effect.
TL;DR: 100% dead.
As a wild guess with a completely dead phone, I put it for approx. 10h in the refrigerator (roughly somewhere around 5°C), as some urban legends around this exist.
After getting it out, it started booting and went off after some seconds.
After connection to the pc ( #adb, you know) it booted successfully into #lineageos and I was able to do a backup followed by a factory reset.
The battery stayed at 0% while the phone was on. After the factory reset, it even seems to charge properly.
Question: what did the low temperature do?

Im #fdroid noch nicht verfügbar. Über #aurorastore installierbar. Aber:
Unter #lineageos nicht lauffähig, da #googleplay fehlt.

Most of the time I couldn't care less about shiny new hardware. I do care about current, solid, regularly updated software for the devices I use.
In other words, if you're an #OpenWRT and/or #LineageOS developer, you have my utmost gratitude. You rock.
