      I’m trying to install it on my Nexus 7, and having a tough time. I’d like to know how you make out.

              Been following the wiki, but when I try to flash for root partition, I get “data too large” . I’ve tried to wipe everything with TWRP, but it still shows the same error. Not sure how to proceed next.

                You probably need a repartition. Can’t link right now but check for “Nexus 7 flox repartition”, assuming yours is 2013 Wi-Fi edition (code name flo).

                  Interesting, thanks. I followed a few links, and it looks like that might do it. It’ll have to wait until I have a bit of time to sit down though.

    I run it on my second phone, a OP6T. GNOME on mobile has improved a lot. The framerate is higher and the keyboard is more consistent. Auto rotate now works. I still wouldn’t use it as my daily driver though since the camera still doesn’t work, voice input with pipewire is very wonky and it still crashes every now and then. Random touch input bugs happen twice a day too, forcing me to reboot. It got so far but it still has a bit left to go.

        You could buy the same modem that is in the pinephone in mini pcie format and use a usb adaptor to connect it to a pi.

        I think a project that uses the pi cm4 format and adds a modem, screen, buttons, speaker and bms to be a compelling open-source phone.

    I happen to have a Fairphone 4. It’s listed as supported, but not with all its features.

    Anyone here tried PostmarketOS on Fairphone 4?

    It’s great to see this project still chugging along. I tried it on an old phone & it worked, but it would run into readonly filesystem errors after a few hours of usage. I never got to figure out why since I ended up actually needing to use the phone while mine had broken so it’s LineageOS for microG now.

    Is there a way for me install postmarket os on the pixel 3a xl? As I was bashed on the head for using Ubuntu Touch.

    Flashing Lenovo A6000 failed when I did it about a year ago.

    Bricked the phone, didn’t manage to fix it even with Qualcomm tools.

    Wasn’t worth pursuing further to me back then. Would love to know if someone succeeded!
