Let's try to summarise=E2=80=A6 I use the Pinephone as my daily device. It can send and receive sms and calls. I dont think I miss calls or texts. The device rings and notify (with a cute worms sneeze uwu) from crust hibernation without surprise. I still got some issues on text messages with ModemManager as: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/issues/328 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/issues/274 I expect the second to be solved soon enough As a web browser, I though it was reliable. But in fact, as I took back my old Nexus 5X some weeks ago, I have to face the reality. =3D> It is a way better experience to browse the web with the adblocked, musl compiled, alpine version of firefox than with the android plain vanila one. Point One of the really important goal of my personal smartphone should be to embed a navigation software. This still lacks at this time and I fear it will stay the same for a long time. If someone got solution, PLEASE share it :D Sxmo satisfy me in regard of features a smartphone OS should brings. I got main features (phone features) that I can stick easily to hooks or whatever interface I want to. All of this in an alpine OS with loooots of software packaged. But Sxmo got at this time some issues to me. One of my main frustration come from the virtual keyboard. It feel really unreliable and I prefer to use ssh access to write sms. I think it is an issue that we should focus. I got an vibrating patch too but it feels not smooth enough. I frequently miss-click and have to backspace a lot. The futur keyboard case will probably solves that issue but the virtual one got to be fixed (or I have to find alternatives). I have a bad feeling about the dmemu approach too. Those thoughts arent mature but I feels that dmenu (in the current state) bring looooots of limitations. * not an interactive UI * only one dmenu open in the same time * slow, veeerry slow in regard of what it is doing (lets not try to browse my Camera folder >_<) * cant display long text entries But in the same time, we got main menus, dial menu or some of userscripts that rely on dmenu and it feels really good. So maybe my solution should be to find an alternative framework that we could use when we want to build a script with a more interactive UI. A suckless alternative :D I also feel that crusting and decrusting feels to hardy to do (long press up then triple up is waaayyy too long for this basic task and we got the same one for decrusting). I share the though that we should rethink the buttons usage as we now can relly on lisgd to open/close the keyboard and main menus. And a screenlock with authentication could be a plus. And, last thing, the display capacity feel very horrible when trying to look at a video, or too high resolutions giff O_O Is the device that low-tech or could we expect optimization or new drivers ? Okay so I didnt summarize at all=E2=80=A6 Feel free to react. Stacy
