Mit 2 Monaten Verzögerung: Android 16 QPR1 landet im AOSP
Das Update auf Android 16 QPR1 ist endlich im AOSP angekommen. Custom-ROM-Entwickler und Bastler warteten seit zwei Monaten darauf.
#Android #Google #LineageOS #Mobiles #OpenSource #Sicherheitslücken #Software #Updates #news
Gave up trying to get the #LineageOS update to work, so now reinstalling everything on my phone (exactly the thing I wanted to do the day before a trip).
Good news: #Signal's backup thing works (the old one, I haven't tried the hosted one yet).
Better news: I could remember my PIN!
Slightly bad news: When I did the backups, it gave me recovery codes. When I did the restore, it asked for a passphrase. Apparently, these are the same thing (or, at least, the codes worked in the passphrase box), but it was pretty poor UI to ask me for a thing I had, but was given under a different name.
Oh, joy. Upgrading #LineageOS on my phone failed, and now I can't find a way of either rolling back to an older version or completing the upgrade. And everything I've tried so far has made it worse...
My Amazon Echo Show 5 and 8 are now both running #lineageos . No more Amazon shit. No closed system.
Now let's look for #homeassistant and Fully Kiosk ✌️

Well done @laivsalocin !
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.

📣 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 🔥
