brave vortex
#

?

#

sorry

#

is it real gentoo or android+portage?

tropic jolt
#

no bedrock linux shenanigans

#

no android

#

just pure gentoo

brave vortex
#

how do you type? external keyboard?

tropic jolt
#

but normally external keyboard yes

#

its all device specific

#

if you got well mainlined devices its eays

#

if not hard

brave vortex
#

is Redmi 5A (MDG6) a friendly device for gentoo?

tropic jolt
#

check out postmarketOS for that

#

anyway time to document this

brave vortex
#

make your own distro

tropic jolt
#

cool but unusable

#

there are no microphone or speaker drivers so i cant call

#

i can text on postmarkets

#

this gentoo install misses alot of packages

#

mobile data needs apn information

#

mobile linux in general is bad

#

on an obscure device like this its unusable

Wayfire might work well with touch screens not sure

#

im gonna try compiling phosh in qemu chroot and reinstalling gentoo

#

updated

#

xorg has been upgraded to waylabd

#

superd has been packaged

#

now i can toggle the virtual keyboard with volume down button

#

and volume up brings up the menu like on sxmo

#

so i could operate the phone partially

#

but the gestures are broken

#

@lofty rover status update

#

i can actually control the phone now
