I ended up backing the IMX95 version, hopefully it can take advantage of @austriancoder amazing work too

The Mecha Comet #mobilelinux kickstarter has gone live. Comes with either an IMX8M Plus up to 4GB Ram or a IMX95 up to 8GB Ram. Looks like a really nice linux first device running a downstream 6.12 kernel. It has a m.2 slot which can accept a modem for cell service but no ear piece so calls will be speaker mode only. Cameras are already working using the ISP. Hope they meet their timeline of this year as I can’t wait to get mine.

#MechaComet

Just tested on my #librem5 and it works when setting the gles override as its needed
MESA_GLES_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.1

luckily it does seem to mostly work ok. It has a long delay when exiting the now playing to view the library but audio continues working perfectly.

Submitted a PR to the flatpak to add in the needed changes for arm64 in flathub but its waiting for a new release to be tagged on the finamp repo.

Considering this does seem to need GLES3 i guess no #pinephone

#mobilelinux

Looks like a really good #jellyfin music player is coming to #mobilelinux hopefully soon. Finamp is flutter based and looks like someone added in a CI for building an arm build recently and it looks great. Seems to require EGL > 1.5 and GLES > 3.0 though for hardware acceleration. This is a nice looking app and hopefully at some point i can run it accelerated on one of my devices i actually carry.

Sent the fix upstream and megi said hes making the change on his kernel. So at this point i think the #pinephonePro rear camera driver is as complete as can be so now all that remains is tuning and improvements in the camera stacks. #libcamera will need some tuning and the addition of autofocus for example. Theres nothing that should be stopping it though on the kernel side anymore.

#PinephonePro pdaf pixels be gone!

Should hopefully be getting less artifacts on the PPP rear camera sometime soon

#mobilelinux #pine64

Finally got around to finishing the #PinephonePro review. I know its no longer a #mobilelinux phone that is in production but its still nice to see where it is now at its end of production and to see what was possible on it. Software on it will hopefully continue to be improved upon so hopefully it is currently in its worst state now and will get better in time but only time will tell.
