Announcing the Mobian project
***EDIT: I had to go back to a cheap Android phone.

My original first-edition PinePhone was just too unstable, poor audio quality, etc. for me to use it as a daily driver. At this point, I'm not sure what I can use if for except as a learning experience.

Hopefully the next edition(s) will be good enough for general use.


---


A huge thumbs-up and thank you to the devs. I bought my PP when it first became available, then put it away as no OS was really ready. Well, my other phone died, and I looked on the forums and saw a post about MOBIAN and viola!  I'm using my PP for a daily driver.

There's only two things this needs for me to be 100%
  • One is for the contacts manager/phone book to talk to messaging/dialer (it doesn't show the contact name in messenger, and you can't port a message/number over to contacts to create a new one).
  • Get the volume louder (I tried the "alsamixer" tweak, but it didn't seem to make a difference - maybe need to reboot or update). https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=tweaks
Other than that, I can live with all the quirks, because this phone fulfills it's primary function, and way way more.
When they ask you "Why would you bother to try and increase your privacy, if they really want to know they'll find out anyway", ask them:

"Why do you think it's a good idea to make it easier for them?"
