Divine D. project is developing a Linux phone with a RK3588s processor

The Rockchip RK3588 processor family has been around for a few years now, and it has proven to be a popular option for single-board computers, laptops, and other devices that generally run Android or Linux-based software.

More recently we’ve started to see folks tap this chip for use in Linux smartphones. The first was the Liberux NEXX that was announced earlier this year ahead of an […]

Lilbits: Snapdragon X Chromebooks, Pixel 7a battery swelling, and a Liberux NEXX Linux phone progress update

Earlier this year the folks at Liberux announced plans to build a Linux smartphone that combines the kind of features you’d expect from a modern phone with the hardware you’d expect from a pretty good single-board computer. The Liberux NEXX is expected to have a RK3588s Processor, a 6.34 inch, 2400 x 1080 pixel OLED display, 32GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, along with dual USB 3.1 Type-C […]

That's all I can think of on the spot. Of course there's still the camera and GPU stuff, but these would need their own dedicated threads 😂 Feel free to hit me up if you want to hack on some of these things, I could likely offer some help and guidance.

The Librem 5 (and mobile GNU/Linux in general) has matured a lot over the years, but there are still some areas where the software stack is behind the hardware capabilities. Some of them are often talked about, such as camera quality or GPU (GLES3/Vulkan/OpenCL), but there are also lesser known ones in need of some plumbing and middleware infrastructure. Maybe you'll find something interesting to hack on there?

Phosh 0.46.0 brings customization, UI improvements to the mobile Linux user interface

Phosh is a user interface designed for smartphones running Linux-based operating systems. First developed by Purism for the Librem 5 smartphone, it’s now available for a wide range of devices and works with most major Linux distributions.

While Phosh has long had many of the core features you’d expect from a smartphone user interface, it’s still a little rough around the edges compared with […]

Google’s Android may be the world’s most widely used operating system, while Apple has shipped billions of iOS and iPadOS devices since 2007. But a relatively small group of developers and enthusiasts have been working to make mobile Linux into a viable alternative.

There are a handful of phones that are designed to support operating systems that use a mainline Linux kernel. But those […]

Lilbits: Epic Games Store brings free games to mobile, Volla Phone Quintus now available, and Samsung finally embraces Seamless Updates

Shortly after the EU forced Apple to allow third-party app stores on iOS (in the European Union, at least), Epic announced it was bringing its Epic Games Store to iPhones and Android. Up until recently it’s mostly been a place for installing Epic games like Fortnite, Fall Guides, and Rocket League Sideswipe.

But now Epic has announced the availability of third-party titles in the Epic Games […]

The first Lenovo ThinkPhone launched last year as a business-oriented phone with a design inspired by the company’s ThinkPad laptops and the guts of a decent phone like those offered by Lenovo subsidiary Motorola.

Now it looks like the company is preparing to launch a follow-up, but it may not arrive until next year and according to leaked info published by Android Headlines, the ThinkPhone […]

Seems like nobody was reaching for this low-hanging fruit, so I did it myself:

"Glowup" is a quickly hacked up thing that lets you glow your Librem 5 photos up with one click right on the phone, using #darktable and about 30 seconds of processing.

gitlab.com/dos1/glowup

#librem5 #mobilelinux #linuxmobile #linuxsmartphones #shotonlibrem5 #catsofmastodon (late)#caturday #myfirstlibadwaitaapp 😜

The main screen of libadwaita app, "Glowup". It shows 15 photos as thumbnails in rounded squares, most of which are of cute cats.An app screen labeled "Photo", with a back button and a big blue button "Glow it up!". It shows a close up of a photo with a cat sticking their nose up the camera.Another photo. Now the blue button is gone and replaced with two icon buttons - one with a star, and the other being a hamburger menu.

The photo now show the same cat sitting in a grass field, with some dandelions in the foreground. The photo is a bit bloomy, with overexposed bits on the cat's white fur.The same screen, but now the star button is toggled. The photo is the same, but now in higher quality - it gained some definition, got darkened a bit and you can clearly see the cat's entire fur.

Lilbits (chips edition): Intel Lunar Lake, Google Tensor G4, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 4s Gen 2

Intel’s next-gen chips are set to launch in a little over a month and while Intel, like most chip makers these days, is playing up the AI capabilities of its upcoming Lunar Lake processors, I’m much more interested to see if the chips live up to Intel’s promises that we can expect up to a 50% improvement in graphics and as much as a 40% reduction in […]
