Hello. What filesystem do you format your SD cards in for using with Android? I suspect most keep the factory format - exFAT or FAT32, which is a garbage filesystem, but can be read by Windows without extra trouble. When I was preparing a new card to put in a new phone the other day, I faced...

Note: This kernel is not meant to be used with Android. It will not work with it. This is a fork of the mainline Linux kernel, meant to be used to run Linux distributions. It is as close as possible to the mainline tree, with only a device tree added for this device, and a few small patches...

Hello all, I've not flashed a mobile device in a very long time. I was wondering if Postmarket OS is compatible with the moto G7 river? I've seen that it's compatible with other G7 variants but I've not seen anywhere explicitly say it will work with G7 river. I don't have enough knowledge about...

This thread is for native Linux development on Galaxy A8/A8+. This means no Halium here. It's also aimed at people who know how to compile their stuff, ect., so don't complain to me about no fancy zip installer. I have made some fixes in our DECON framebuffer driver, ect that makes TTY, and...

I have become successful with getting postmarketOS to run on this tablet for the past 2 months, running mainline Linux (5.8.0 as of this writing). This allows us to use this tablet model for a little longer, without getting stuck on older Linux kernel versions. postmarketOS is an experimental...

Samsung announced a new feature with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, the ability to access Samsung Dex on a Windows or MacOS device. This in my opinion was a game changer as it could allow users to use the insane power of their Galaxy Note 10/Note 10+ devices on inexpensive hardware. Samsung...

Hi everyone, I recently ported postmarketOS to the Moto G6. I do not recommend installing this if the device is your daily driver. Not much works besides the screen. This is more of a proof-of-concept. https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Motorola_Moto_G6_(motorola-ali) If you would like to try...

Hello everyone, I recently had to flash a stock firmware file from Xiaomi (.tgz) and being primarily a Linux user I was quite disappointed by the fact that the company only provides a flashing tool for Windows. Either way, I booted into Windows and flashed it. I had a look at the logs later and...

Those who read Phoronix might already know, but Olof Johansson from kernel.org is working on official support for Samsung Galaxy S smartphone. Most probably, for XDA, they are a bit late to the party, but it still might be fun for tinkerers who'd want to run a Linux distro (any dev still here?)...

Hi everyone! I have issues with my Linux notebook and fastboot. It somehow only works half way. Examples: Flashing the stock images on my Pixel 2 will work for radio and boot, but system will throw errors like "systemb partition not found" (or something similar). Booting twrp via fastboot...

Dear members, I was running aokp_find5_nougat_unofficial_2017-01-26_1250 on my Oppo Find 5. Since installing it I had doubts about the LVM, because the Oppo complained about a shortage of space. Anyway, I read about the lower TWRP version 2.8.7.0 (find5-twrp-recovery-2.8.7.0-en-lvm-f2fs) and...
