  @dylanvanassche@fosstodon.org's merge request to use usb-moded from #sailfishos just landed in postmarketOS edge. "Devices running GNOME Mobile, Phosh, and Plasma Mobile received a new USB stack based upon usb-moded which is more robust compared to the original stack: * Netboot works again which regressed with supporting USB tethering. * Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is now available for users to access files of their device. See pmaports#646. * USB access is disabled by default, inc...

  Boot partitions have been increased to 512MiB by default in pre-built images, and will be created so by the upcoming pmbootstrap 3.11 version. "For quite a while now, 256MiB has served us very well, but we've been starting to see issues with larger kernel packages like linux-postmarketos-stable or linux-next, which occupy around 150MiB on /boot on aarch64 systems due to the large number of device tree blobs shipped with the kernels." Thanks to @aelin@donotsta.re for making the ch...

  New edge blog post: UIs can soon explicitly declare support for service managers "By limiting the configurations a UI can be installed into to what the maintainer actually supports, postmarketOS can provide more consistent quality and make debugging any issues that do arise easier." Thanks to @justsoup@mstdn.social, @fossdd@chaos.social, @aelin@donotsta.re, @newbyte@mastodon.nu and @ollieparanoid@fosstodon.org for implementing this! https://postmarketos.org/edge/2026/07/10/explicit...

  "pmbootstrap will now perform strict builds of packages by default, which was previously opt-in behavior enabled either by invoking it with the --strict flag or by setting pmb:strict in the APKBUILD for a package. The change for this was merged to pmbootstrap's main branch today and will be shipping in the next minor release, probably 3.11.0." Thanks to @aelin for implementing this and writing the devel blog post! https://postmarketos.org/devel/2026/06/01/pmbootstrap-...

  🧪 The test phase for postmarketOS v26.06 starts next week (moved back by one week as preparing the repo and images need some more time). If you want to, you too can take part in the testing effort by simply adding yourself to the testing team wiki page and joining the testing chat! https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Testing_Team https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Matrix_and_IRC #postmarketos #linuxmobile

  🎙️ This year we did the 3rd post-FOSDEM hackathon in a row. We figured it was about time to sit in front of a mic and share our impressions of one of those! Thanks to all the amazing people who made this hackathon possible, we were not only very productive but in a great mood as well! 😄 Special thanks for editing this episode to @tgm ✂️ https://cast.postmarketos.org/episode/48-Hackathon-2026/ #postmarketos

  Speaking of great things for Linux Mobile that @nlnet and @NGIZero are funding: One of them is the OpenIMSD project, which has the goal of getting VoLTE on Qualcomm based phones working with postmarketOS, @mobian and all other Linux (Mobile) distributions. As a precursor to that, we need to be able to create VoLTE-related QMI traces from Android phones. @lynxis figured out a good method and wrote a blog post about it: https://postmarketos.org/blog/2025/06/17/volte-project-qmi-sniffing-with-fr...

  After the next stable release of postmarketOS (v26.06) we have decided that unmaintained devices (those where the device package doesn't have a maintainer= line in their APKBUILD) will be archived, this means the packages will no longer be built and included in our binary repository. If you want to make sure an unmaintained device continues to be supported, you can take over maintainership yourself so that we can reach you if there's a problem rebuilding the device or kernel pac...
