I just completed my first mainline driver!
My goal was to enable night light on OnePlus 6 using #phosh on #postmarketos.
It was a missing DRM GAMMA_LUT support in the Qualcomm Display Engine (DPU) driver.
I used the downstream kernel as a reference and found the LUT format by trial and error on the phone.
It was a difficult but very rewarding experience.

Google Play System Update (September 2025) rolls out for Samsung devices
Google Play System Update was a feature that was introduced for devices that ship with Android 10 or newer. It’s mandatory for device manufacturers that plan to release their devices with Android 10 to support Google Play System Updates. As a result, non-Google devices, such as Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets released with Android 10 (One UI 2.1), can receive such updates, too.
These updates don’t require security updates from the manufacturer to work, as Project Mainline modules work independently to give you better experience with Android phones and tablets.
On September 29th, a new Google Play System Update has been pushed to Samsung devices. This update upgrades your Project Mainline modules to the September 1st, 2025 version. This update weighs around 90 MB.
To be able to get this version, follow these steps:
Click on Download and Install, wait for it to download, then reboot your device by clicking on the blue Restart button. The next time your device boots up, the revised update gets installed, so it’s going to take about 3 minutes maximum to install all the updates.
There is no progress bar, so don’t panic if it looks stuck. Your device will eventually boot up. Now, open your settings app and check your Google Play System Update. If everything is well, you should see September 1st, 2025 below the appropriate button.
In case your device didn’t receive the update, wait for a few days, and it will be available shortly.
Stay tuned for the October patch of 2025!

@franklesniak yet noone I know wants that shit - not even for free - because #Qualcomm refuses to provide proper #mainline #Linux support for these.
@krutonium @landley I mean, Ideally @OS1337 would be come a simpler and better alternative to #LinuxFromScratch or #YoctoLinux / #YoctoProject when it comes to getting started on a device.
Cuz #RaspberryPi de-facto monopolized non-#amd64 / non-#ix86 - #SBCs because they actually give a shit and publish #documentation!

Hi from the #OSSSummit if you want to get in touch about running #Linux on your phone, feel free to wave at me or @z3ntu !
Yesterday I found out at @LinaroLtd booth that core #mainline support for #Pixel6 is in the better shape than I expected.
So remember, Linux reach is much broader than servers, personal computers, and embedded!
Sending the tooth from the great Jonathan Corbet talk: Three Decades in Kernelland, which I enjoyed very much.

Thanks to @geerlingguy for addressing the elephant in the room.
@RaspberryPi dominates the #SBC market because they know how to write #documentation and build #drivers that get accepted into #mainline #Linux kernel.
dd onto a microSD!That's why my #BananPi Zero M2 is still unused to this day: It's way too inconvenient and whilst I do want to support it someday, it's just not a good start when the 1st #RasperryPi's documentation to this day is still the bare minimum and vendors can't be assed to do that.

It looks as if Linux kernel 6.17 will have support for the #RaspberryPi5. It is expected to be released in mid-October 2025.
