Announcing the Mobian project

[minkiu]

Hey again,

I knew the Firefox "problem" existed before, that's why I though it was a change added by a-wai; the answer I was looking for is:

Removing the user agent override on about:config yields a user agent string accepted by the Firefox Add-ons page.

 Thanks edge! Resetting it to default did the trick! The key you need to reset in `about:config` is: `general.useragent.override`

I haven't tried Mobian yet, but would guess if you want ssh via the USB then install pinephone-devtools.

 I was thinking more over the wifi, so I'll give chris answers a go first, before trying yours:

2) for ssh, it is necessary to install openssh-server 'sudo apt install openssh-server' without forgetting before an update 'sudo apt update' and 'sudo apt updgrade'.

Thanks chris.

Interesting! I haven't thought much about the user agent tbh, so if anyone comes up with a better one (that's recognized as a mobile UA by most website) I'd be pleased to change the default value.

I wanted to install the User Agent Changer and Manager add-on, but due to the UI on the phone it's hard (impossible I'd say) to "Apply" whatever userAgent you pick, I believe this user agent would be better suited, the Firefox for Android 9 one:

Code:

Mozilla/5.0 (Android 9; Mobile; rv:68.6.0) Gecko/68.6.0 Firefox/68.6.0

or maybe The Chrome one:

Code:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 10; SM-G975U) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/79.0.3945.93 Mobile Safari/537.36

And something unrelated to all this, I after seeing the splash screen I though maybe the logo could be changed to something of the lines of:


It's an SVG (without font requirement) so you can tweak it in Inkscape, here is the link (GDrive) to the SVG.

Thanks again!
