My quest to 100% feature completeness continues!
Today i bring before you… The working microphone!
Now everyone is going to ask:
Does this mean working calls?
I asked the same thing, and with maybe a bit too much excitement i inserted my SIM card.
But the answer is no, neither audio nor mic work in calls.
It seems having them work in userspace is not enough.
So it seems that that requires additional work (coming soon!)
To give updates on my previous posts aswell.
For all 3 (GPS, NFC, audio) patches have been submitted, i’ve had contact with the freedesktop and maintainers on the LKML and they have requested changes, and a v2 is out for all. But don’t expect them to reach phones anytime soon.
GPS:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/libqmi/-/merge_requests/470: maintainer requested some renames, adressed and waiting for review.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/merge_requests/1463: stuck as draft until libqmi patch lands
NFC:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/ Sashiko AI review found a bug in my code and maintainer requested small change, both addressed in v2.
audio:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/ maintainer requested significant changes, addressed in v2
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/ awaiting review
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/ RFC patch resulting from requested changes, i think this one might get quite the tail…
Audio is turning into quite the story, way more then i expected.
When having a working patch ive learned the work is far from over.
I was thinking of maybe hosting my own downstream kernel with all my fixes, if there is demand for it.
(also open letter to the mods if these posts are becoming spam and if its turning too much into my personal blog?)

No way, you’re making the best posts here! Keep it up!
Then I’ll keep making them!
i for one think what you’re doing is awesome, thanks
Thank you!!!
At some point I would love if you wrote a guide on how you got started, things you learn along the way, pitfalls to watch out for. Not only around getting everything working, but how to upstream it to the kernel.
I know in a previous post you asked for help on contributing to the kernel, and now you already have PRs! That step has always intimidated me so seeing how you approached it would be super helpful
This is great coming from a Linux and FOSS enjoyer. PostmarketOS is not an appealing name for an OS though lol. Although the name makes sense for its purpose.

There are plans to replace the current name.
Do they accept suggestions? I would like it to be called Skagloodle.
We did, but the deadline for that has passed ages ago sorry.
I am being temporally discriminated.
Should be called Android2, just to fuck with everyone involved
How about LMOS? Linux Mobile Operating System
How about LORE. As a nod to Data’s brother Lore (who obvs are both androids). Could stand for smth like Linux Operated Revived Electronics
doin the lord’s work, son
Do you take donations?
Thank you really! But im just a guy trying to defeat big tech in my free time :)
If you want to donate, please do so to linux projects like KDE and PostmarketOS
