VoLTE support is updated so that it works out-of-box with more carriers (Thanksb to Nikita (@Notkit) from Volla), Please note that we've tested VoLTE on a few Volla devices only. Other ports may have VoLTE support enabled; such support is experimental and may not always function correctly.

Waydroid has been updated to version 1.5.1, containing initial support for upcoming official Android 13 images, among other fixes (Thanks to Jami (@deathmist) from Volla).

Font for emoji is switched from Emoji One to Noto Color Emoji, with improved support for some of newer emojis. (Thanks to Alfred (@fredldotme))

General bug fixes and security updates, both from upstream Ubuntu and from UBports.

The Liberux Nexx smartphone will be (if it makes it to the production stage) the most powerful smartphone (with the RK3588S) to run GNU/Linux and the mainline kernel. More powerful than the PinePhone Pro, or the OnePlus 6. It will have a decent OLED display, alot of RAM, and much of what you would expect from a privacy-focused GNU/Linux smartphone such as hardware killswitches.

That is to say, this phone will (hopefully if it releases) be a true daily-driver candidate for many people, more so than the current offerings are now. While I am skeptical of it (as I am with any crowdfunded project) I think this will be a great thing if it does make it to production.

Here's what happened from the 19th to 25th of May, 2025: A RaspBerry Pi CM5-based handheld, successful experiments with a 5G modem plugged into a Librem 5, phosh-osk-stub gets a sweet new name, and more! Enjoy!

Anyone else here losing WiFi signal on their Pixel 8..?

Wasn't doing it when I first bought it but seems like since 3-4 months ago that phone has been acting up :(

I recently learned something that blew my mind; you can run a full desktop Linux environment on your phone.

Not some clunky virtual machine and not an outright OS replacement like Ubuntu Touch or postmarketOS. Just native arm64 binaries running inside a little chroot container on Android.

She mentioned in her toot that she tries to keep the dependencies so that the app works well with waydroid.

Anyway it's a great app, I use it almost daily. Strongly suggested!
