Announcing the Mobian project

[a-wai]

Is there a version of "double tap to wake" in Mobian now? I loved that function in my LG G2 (and I think some versions of Cyanogenmod): I think this phosh version is causing some phone hard locks occasionally? After a long period of no use I get the clock screen appears with the time I last switched off the screen. And no way will slide up work.

The double tap would have to be implemented in phosh, but would cause a number of issues: the touch panel would have to be kept powered on while the screen is blanked, which would draw unnecessary power most of the time, and prevent the phone from going to sleep.
Actually, the touch panel IS currently powered on even with the screen blanked, but it causes a few issues:
- when carrying the phone in your pocket, touch events are received, causing the display to wake up and drain the battery
- these touch events "reset" the idle timer, meaning auto-suspend won't work

All of this is a serious power management issue, and my take is that the touch panel should be powered off simultaneously to the display backlight. I know this makes the "wake on double tap" practically impossible to implement, but this wouldn't work from deep sleep anyway.

That being said, it all needs to be discussed with upstream.

Indeed, is there any way to disable the PIN security? I would probably be happy for a double-tap to take me straight back to my applications and bypass both the slide-up and PIN screens?

Nope, this could be a phosh setting, but it doesn't exist yet.

Am I correct in understanding that Mobian does not have drivers for the camera built in yet?

Drivers are there, but for some reason the camera doesn't work yet.
