  • Device support
    • ?PinePhone​​​​​​​

      • 6.12 running thanks to Andrey
      • Front camera doesn't work with libcamera in 6.12 due to kernel update (according to Andrey, tested by Julian)
      • ☑ Mobian recipes MR, Vccq mod installer
    • ​?PinePhone Pro​​​​​​​

      • 6.12 running in staging
      • Front camera doesn't work properly with libcamera due to libcamera update (according to Robert, tested by Julian)
      • Charger driver should be rewritten in an upstream-compatible way
    • ?PineTab​​​​​​​

      • Julian is still waiting for his to arrive from a member of the community
      • 6.12 should run on it now too, although ?PineTab (display) patches need porting (will be done by Julian)

    • ?PineTab2​​​​​​​

      • 6.12 running in staging
      • Wi-Fi driver and firmware work
      • Issue with systemd service for Bluetooth : slows down startup and shutdown, doesn't enable Bluetooth
      • Issue with rendering, can be fixed with environment variable
    • ?PineTab2 Wi-Fi driver​​​​​​​

      • cringeops doesn't seem to be maintaining it anymore
      • Julian has an open PR to add support for 6.12 on the repo​
    • ?PineTab2 Wi-Fi firmware​​​​​​​

      • Pine64 claims it's licenced Apache 2, but that doesn't seem possible because it's proprietary (repo provided: https://github.com/OneDeuxTriSeiGo/device\_soc\_bestechnic/tree/master/bes2600)

      • Julian is waiting for a response from them to a request for permission to distribute the firmware
    • Pixel 3a
      • Everything is working (according to erebion)
      • Kernel patches need porting (Julian planned on doing this, see below)
      • Julian is still trying to get ahold of one (is in contact with a member of the community who has one)
      • Marco has started porting the kernel patches to the Mobian kernel (ETA a couple weeks) https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/devices/kernels/qcom-linux/-/merge\_requests/4

      • sdm670 will be rebased on 6.11 soon, which should allow dropping some patches already
      • Biggest struggle is q6dsp/q6voice patches as we already import those from sdm845-mainline; hopefully sdm670mainline will base their next version on the sdm845 versions
    • Pixel 3
      • Robert said support for it could easily be added in the future
    • Pixel 4
      • A member of the community has one they're willing to give away (https://hci.social/@severin/113249655226950406)

    • Pixel 6
      • Getting mainline support form Linaro
      • no display
    • Librem5
      • 6.12 is coming along, but not booting (display) yet.
      • UCM MR allows working with callaudiod again. Call for testing:
        • Does call audio automatically switch correctly?
        • Is the default audio device reasonable (ie not the modem)?
        • Is the maximum volume reasonable and stable across boots?
    • Qcom / Sensors
      • Hexagonrpcd : debian packaging
        • a-wai will import the upstream repo into ?DebianOnMobile-team so we can have MRs/reviews

      • Droid juicer support ? : extract a bunch of firmware like files (450 files for enchilada)
        • Add another option to extract whole folders instead of files (ETA a few weeks or months a-wai, Marco may look into it)
      • Libssc0 in experimental
      • Waiting for the next release of iio-sensor-proxy to support libssc
    • Qcom / MAC addresses
      • Wi-Fi MAC address needs to be taken from the persist partition (there are 4 for each device)
        • The kernel drivers aren't taking it from the persist partition
        • Alex will send modified bootmac script to erebion for testing on Pixel 3a
          • https://salsa.debian.org/-/snippets/742

      • Bluetooth MAC address is the Wi-Fi MAC address minus one (on every device)
      • Merge request for bootmac should be opened to take the MAC address from persist (a-wai expects upstream to accept the request)
      • Wifi : kernel fallback to random one "kernel: ath10k\_snoc 18800000.wifi: invalid MAC address; choosing random"
      • BT : no adress
      • pmOS use bootmac which use a hash based on the phone serial number
      • MAC adresses seems to be present in a few files in the android persist partition
    • Buffybox:
      • Should be ready for upload to new.
    • Kernel updates
      • Any issues with pushing out upgrading Trixie and Bookworm with current staging/bookworm-p-o
      • Don't push qcom-6.6, the rest should be fine.
