Playing with Jonas' latest WIP mobile shell branch. It's honestly more fluid than my Android phone with Lineage, super impressive given the much weaker hardware ✨️

@tbernard impressive! Is it planned to add phone specific feature such as call receive from Lock Screen?

@hacknorris @tbernard Depending on the model, it may be possible to run Droidian (based on Halium so it uses part of the Android stack under the hood)

@hacknorris you can ask the droidian folks. There are links on https://droidian.org/ to contact them.

@tbernard where can I find it? Are there Images available for the PinePhone?

Tobias Bernard

@lioh It's a WIP branch at this point, but I imagine someone will make testing images eventually. GNOME OS images would be cool 🙃

@jjardon @tbernard @lioh @alatiera so how do I install it on my phone to try it out ? Will it require a Windows VM to run some stuff on it or will it all work from my Fedora laptop ?

@tbernard I'm really hoping this gets eventually finished, in concept this is so much better than phosh.

@tbernard I can't wait to try gnome on mobile! May I ask you what phone and what OS are you using in the video? (I see a GnomeOS window there but it may just be a browser tab)

@racchio Jonas tried a bunch of distros, but he said they all kinda suck because of the bad hardware enablement situation (among other things). The OS in the video is Arch ARM with custom mutter/gnome-shell and some other tweaks.

@tbernard thank you! Being an Arch user on desktop I am far more excited to know that Arch is working fairly good on Arm too!!!

@tbernard Eleven years after its initial release, gnome shell finally seems to have found its way onto the devices it was designed for.

Looks so cool! GNOME is taking the cake on mobile now however i won't switch to pure Linux based phone yet except it if goes to around 2% like desktop Linux now and has more apps. I'm also tired of Android's lagginess and want something like iOS but FOSS and on a cheaper phone and i think i found it!

@tbernard my phone is about that fluid, but it's also a flagship phone that's only 22 months old

@tbernard that looks really good! Hopefully there'll be a way to hide the gesture bar at the bottom while retaining the ability to perform gestures though. 😅 It's one of my biggest gripes with Android right now, at least from a design perspective.
