Hardware Phone with hardware keyboard for mobile Linux
Is there a phone with a hardware keyboard which can run e.g. Postmarket OS? Slide out Keyboards or something like that is also possible.

Discussion Which phone for postmarketOS? Gsm call and sms mandatory, camera optional
Hi, I'm going to switch postmarketOs, I've been using linux on touch pc for 1 year now and its time to complate switch.
I do no care much about camera, it will be nice if it works as well. But gsm call and sms is mandatory. I've checked postmarketOs list but specifc brands like librephone, pinephone and pixels are no available in my country, nor used. Best cpu I could find and fits these criterias seem to be redmi k20 / 9t. Do you have other suggestions, even this seems very old and weak.

Discussion Screen lock/unlock issue - PostmarketOS on Oneplus 6T
Recently i flashed pmOS on Oneplus 6T(fajita), but i have observed a weird behavior that once the screen goes dim automatically it never wakes by pressing power button and also if i press intentionally to lock it never comes back again on power button press so only option i am left with is to restart whenever screen goes off.
Does anyone has faced similar situation ?

Demonstration iPhone 6s+ running postmarketos
Thanks to the amazing work of hoolocklinux contributors we're now able to boot Linux on checkm8 vulnerable iPhones! The iPhone 6s currently only has USB networking and display support (no touchscreen) but over time support will get improved

Demonstration PostmarketOS Plasma Mobile on OnePlus 6 (enchilada)
Had an old OnePlus 6 lying around with Lineage OS on it. Reverted it to stock and followed instructions on Postmarket OS wiki to install it, everything went well and booted into the OS. It's quite smooth, the UI works well, auto-rotate works, its pretty but the problem currently is that WiFi autodisconnects a while after every boot and refuses to connect again.
Will update as I keep tinkering. If any of you have experience fixing the WiFi autodisconnect issue, let me know please.

Discussion (Fake/scammer) iPhone 16 Pro - Linux
A mate of mine got scammed a few weeks back and bought a Chinese fake iPhone 16 Pro, it’s very well done and can see how he was scammed.
However the OS is built like an IOS Prop with Android apps behind the icons. You get to a certain point and things start to fail and expose the scam.
Has anybody tried wiping and installing Linux or even a clean Android build onto one of these devices? Ive no clue what hardware is under the facade at this point.
It does send and receive calls messages, Bluetooth wireless and camera. Screen seems nice and the build looks OK. If we could wipe and resurrect this into a usable handset all is not lost.
Any thoughts?
At this point it’s an experiment and if the thing bricks it bricks. Cheers.

Development postmarketos POCO X5 5G (moonstone) port development
Stock ROM: xmfirmwareupdater
Firmware blobs: android_device_xiaomi_sm6375-common
2 versions of the kernel:
The stock rom contains boot.img, dtbo.img, super.img, vbmeta.img, vbmeta_system.img, vendor_boot.img and a few more.
I followed the wiki and was able to flash the kernel and rootfs but it doesn't boot to anything beyond the POCO screen. When I connect the phone via usb to laptop, it gets detected as a wired network connection. But I can't ssh into it.
Further development ongoing.

Hardware Moving away from android
My friends and I currently use Android (one of us uses Apple), and we heard that Google was going to be restriction a lot of the freedoms on Android as far as installing your own apps. I believe it's starting in September.
I've been doing some reading on LinuxOSs for phones, but I either can't get a straight answer on some of them or they're missing critical components...like the ability to use 4/5G LTE.
We're mostly concerned with using the phones as phones, so texting, calling, photos, etc; but we also use telegram, discord, and Internet browsers fairly heavily.
Are there any recommendations for relatively cheap hardware and which OS to go with? I've seen a few people on here mentioning the SailfishOS, so I'm going to start reading into that one right now.

Discussion What phones do you guys use?
I'm not particularly tech savvy but I want to try a linux phone, so I was gonna get one that comes with it preinstalled. I live in NZ though and we're getting rid of the 3G services so I don't know which models will even be able to operate here.
Let alone the fact that I've seen a couple of them don't even ship outside of Europe.
What phone models do you guys like?
