Is there a good writeup / overview on how cameras on mainline #mobilelinux work and where you can tweak things?

I'm asking because the back camera on my #pixel3a flashes and the picture sometimes freezes and I would like to look into fixing this. I just have no Idea how cameras work on linux and I'm unsure where to start.

The port of Sailfish for the OnePlus 6 has the best performance out of all the ports currently imo. I recommend giving it a try.

Raz na wozie, raz pod wozem... Nie każdy projekt zawsze się udaje, u mnie nie wypalił pomysł z instalacją Ubuntu Touch na Pixelu 3a. Dlaczego? Wszystkiego można dowiedzieć się z najnowszego wpisu:

#Kuroko is now in the edge/community repo on #AlpineLinux and #postmarketOS officially!

I’m the sole maintainer of Kuroko on #Alpine!

Here’s me installing it on a fresh copy of #pmOS on a #Pixel3A to celebrate!

Thanks the person on my original #Mastodon post for convincing me and the Alpine #aports team.

I did #Fedi! The joke is now reality. Please #boost as this is a big achievement for me!!!

Großer #Upgrade Abend: #Dell E5500 #Laptop #Xubuntu #Linux 22.04 -> 24.04 && #Google #Pixel3a #Smartphone #Lineage OS 21 -> 22.
Noch sieht alles gut aus :-)

Finally got a chance to load up #PostmarketOS on a #pixel3a . It's still not ready for prime the but damn... it's exciting to watch it get better.

EDIT: For all those people asking me why it's not ready for prime time, I've got a new website and I think my first post should be a more detailed set of issues (large and small) that I've found with #PostmarketOS. Give me a week or two.

And thanks for all the boosts and favourites! My most popular post yet?

This #Pixel3a may be the first #postmarketOS powered device or even first #Phone EVER to build and run the #Kuroko #Python dialect!

#GitHub repo for Kuroko (made by the same guy who created ToaruOS and even he ported Kuroko to UEFI):

https://github.com/kuroko-lang/kuroko

(Built on master branch directly from #pmOS which is cool!)

UPDATE:
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/78565

Now attempting to get Kuroko officially in Alpine repos!

Decided to take on the challenge of putting #archlinux on the #pixel3a which could be cool.

I know Kupfer exists, but I’ve had issues with it when I tried so… I think I’ll do it myself thanks.

Let’s see how this goes. Planning on calling it LunarisOS and Gitting it if I get anywhere.

I have had this photo lying around for almost a month now... it's probably about time to finally post it.

postmarketOS device group photo! :D

For #linuxmobile #postmarketos #mobian folks interested in cameras: there's a first version of patches for #libcamera softwareISP color correction matrix (CCM) support now: https://patchwork.libcamera.org/cover/22041/

Together with autofocus (AF) this probably the main missing feature to get a somewhat reasonable image quality on devices like the #pixel3a or #fairphone5 with open drivers / close to #mainlinelinux.

For #linuxmobile / #postmarketos / #mobian etc. folks: there's a rather beginner friendly task to improve battery life for qcom devices like the #oneplus6, #pixel3a etc. by making sure sensors are idle when not needed.
If you have some spare cycles, motivation, basic C literacy (or want to learn it) and know how to build and deploy/test a package with pmbootstrap (or want to learn it) - this one could be for you.
The details are here: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/2455#note_453587

Fastfetch, how is my #pixel3a going ?

Alive and kicking in its tenth day since reboot !

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (42/2024): Pushy Cameras

https://linmob.net/weekly-update-42-2024/

Hi,

Followup on placing calls with #sxmo on #pixel3a

I've successfully placed a call today using the internal mic from command line !

Sxmo dialer does this sequence : create call, change audio mode, start call. And mic is not correctly set up.

But if instead I do : create call, start call, change audio mode ... then it works

At least it worked once for me (I won't rejoice too much before making this work reliably ;))

Now I'll try to reproducee and tweak sxmo scripts ...
