Having my OP6 back in a working condition I have installed Droidian.It just works: calls, sms, data, fingeprint, location services, NFC, sleep.@droidian makes so much difference.I think OP6 with @droidian is a first, so called "linux phone", I have personally seen that really works.There are some quirks here and there but mainly because of Phosh not being finished yet.Great work guys ! Appreciate it.

@as400 @droidian What's the battery life like? Does the camera work decently?

@droidian @BlortYes, camera works. Switching between front and back cameras also works. Interestingly camera also works in waydroid.Battery life should be same or similar to Android. All the energy saving features are there in the kernel. So you can even see in logs that the "Batman" daemon is switching off CPUs when they are not needed.I'm living in an area where GSM signal is very weak. I guess battery life would be even better if signal was stronger.

@as400 @droidian Very cool! I'm seriously considering picking one up now to try out. If it's not too much trouble, would you mind posting a photo -any photo - from the main camera?

@droidian @BlortSure. Let's just wait for a daylight.Unless you want me to photograph an emtpy table in an artificial light :)Don't expect miracles. OP6 was introduced almost 6 years ago. In smartphone industry it's like from a stone age :)If you are considering buying linux smartphone I would go for a Poco X3 Pro. It can be bought new for a very reasonable price. It's lightning fast compared to op6. And there is droidian port by @vacuumbeef.

@as400 @droidian @vacuumbeef Whenever you can would be great, although tbh a photo under artificial light would probably tell me more than one in daylight, as it's a more challenging setup for a camera / camera app to deal with.Anytime that suits though would be awesome.Will look into the Poco X3 Pro, thanks!, although part of the appeal of the OP6 is that it seems to be widely supported by many projects such as #PostmarketOS, too.

@droidian @vacuumbeef @BlortYes, OP6 is supported by #PostmarketOS. But it is running mainline kernel. Which is great. But still requires a lot of work on SDM845 to bring it anywhere near android kernel in terms of functionality. By the time SDM845 support will be finished (if ever) - it will be a museum exhibit.At the same time I do admire all people that currently work on this. Respect !

@as400 @droidian @vacuumbeef @Blort Wow, what? Someone got camera supported on OnePlus6? I should really get that hw. And it is not listed as supported on https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices . Someone should fix that, too.

@pavel @as400 As @vacuumbeef mentioned it's @droidian mot @postmarketOS , but that said I feel like that Postmarket page may need updating. I mean, is there seriously not a single device whose camera works at this point? 👀 #Droidian #PostmarketOS #MobileLinux

@Blort @pavel @as400 @vacuumbeef @droidian @postmarketOS Besides the PinePhone and Librem 5? Yes, there is seriously not a single device that has working camera.It's a harder thing to solve then you seemingly realize.

@bart @Blort Thanks to this discussion, I've updated the PinePhone Pro wiki page to "partial" 🙂 . While both Cameras work with GNOME Camera (and other libcamera-powered apps), the back camera stops working after first suspend. @pavel @as400 @vacuumbeef @droidian @postmarketOS
