debian+phosh running on PinePhone

[a-wai]

I gave it a try, and to be honest, I was suprised it worked at all, and without requiring that much tinkering! I guess the anbox devs have done a pretty good job so far

this is a damn Linux phone if you want android go and buy an android phone.

Well, that's the whole point of free software: to have the freedom to do (almost) whatever you want with it. If anyone wants to have an Android OS and/or Android apps on a PinePhone, I won't argue with them.

It's a free phone. We'll put any icon we damn well please on our phone. :-p

Indeed

Now for something completely different: there's a bunch of important upgrades coming soon, including u-boot and the kernel. You might want to backup your data during the week-end, as this won't be an easy upgrade, and most of you will most likely want to simply re-flash your PP.

The good point is, these upgrades should allow interesting things on the power management side, as suspend now works fine, with the modem (usually) waking up the phone on incoming calls and SMS
The next release will also bring "crust" support (power management firmware, which allows deep sleep), but as of now we can't wake up from deep sleep on modem interrupts, so we'll have to stick with s2idle for some time...
And based on a few quick tests, audio quality during phone calls seems to have improved too, which can't be a bad thing.

Just teasing
