Profile

Working on #OpenRGB at the library is relaxing. Today I cleaned up ProfileManager code and added the ability to load a profile on open, which I think will replace the AutoStart-specific load profile option. The new profile format integrates properly with plugins, allowing saved profiles to save effects plugin effects directly rather than the plugin having its own profile system. Tested On Open, On Exit, On Suspend, and On Resume on both Windows and Linux.

Upgraded all of my working arm64 #postmarketOS devices to the latest #phosh #systemd edge! Also wrote a small script to do all my preferred app installs and some configurations (my custom squeekboard layout, autostart TouchpadEmulator, set default scaling to 200%) to make reinstalling less painful.

My Touchpad Emulator project is now in the #AlpineLinux testing repository! My merge request got merged this morning and I was able to install it on my #postmarketOS edge devices! The package name is touchpad-emulator. It turns the touchscreen into a trackpad style mouse to make desktop UIs easier to use on a touch-only mobile device. #TouchpadEmulator #LinuxMobile #MobileLinux

Success! I've installed a new battery in my #OnePlus 6 running #postmarketOS. Old battery capacity reported around 0.5Ah, new battery out of the box reports 2.96Ah and was around 50% charged, so letting it charge up now. Used a hair dryer to weaken the adhesive and @npub1ulc4...x3hg suction cup and picks to get the back off. After removing the back, swapping the battery is quite simple.

Trying to calibrate my OnePlus 6 and 6T batteries on #postmarketOS. I noticed my OP6T has had worse and worse battery life lately and my "new" OP6 has even worse. Added charge monitoring display to the Powersupply app and have been doing charge/discharge cycles. The phones go from 100 down to 0 and pmOS shuts down, but if I power back on a few times the power tracking resets to 100% and continues running a while longer. Doing compile jobs pulls ~6W which makes for a decent discharge load.

This is the main reason I wanted a OnePlus 6 for #postmarketOS when I already have been using a OnePlus 6T for years now. Surprisingly good audio output for driving my ATH-M50X headphones. Bring back the jack! #PulseAudio #Pipewire #PulseEffects #HeadphoneJack

Wow! The QR code scanning verification feature of the Fractal Matrix client JUST WORKS on OnePlus 6T on #postmarketOS! It verified the OnePlus 6's login. Didn't even need to use focus control, just focused by moving the phone closer.

My new OnePlus 6 came today! It was sold as "open box, like new" and it is in immaculate condition! It's also the 128GB Flash, 8GB RAM variant. Excited to get #postmarketOS on it and this time trying the u-boot and generic sdm845 method. Got this one as the other OP6 I ordered I ended up keeping Android on, it's only 64GB/6GB and has noticeable OLED burn.

New weird issue I've run into with #Librewolf on #postmarketOS / #AlpineLinux - the latest version in the Alpine repository doesn't want to play any videos. I've tried on both YouTube and several Peertube instances and videos just sit at an endless spinner. Audio works fine, playing music from my Subsonic server works no problem. I installed the #Flatpak version and symlinked my profile directories, it plays video just fine using the same profile.

Trying to get #postmarketOS up and running on my old Samsung phones now, using lk2nd, but the T variants weren't supported. Added and submitted an lk2nd merge request! Unfortunately, there may be a regression preventing file system boot. The version shipped by pmOS works on my Nexus 5 but I flashed this new build and it too won't boot from the rootfs now.

These are the T-Mobile US variants of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy S5. They are functionally identical from what I can tell except...
