Omandroid: work-in-progress update 🧪📱 Native Omarchy running on a Pixel 7 Pro: Arch Linux ARM, Hyprland and Omarchy's own packages, on a mainline Linux kernel. No Android underneath. Hardware working - Boots our own mainline kernel (7.3-rc) from the second boot slot, with stock Android kept on the other slot - Display (1440×3120 OLED) - GPU: Mali-G710 with OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.4 through Mesa (we added the G710 to Mesa's Panfrost driver), and Hyprland renders on it - Touchscreen with multi-touch - Power and volume buttons - Battery level in the status bar - Internal storage, with the system partitions locked read-only - USB networking and SSH Software working - Omarchy themes, the menu, the notification shade and the Omarchy boot animation - A phone-style home screen and launcher with app search and "ask your agent" - On-screen keyboard - App switcher: swipe up, tap to switch, flick to close - Lock screen with a PIN pad: locks after boot and after the screensaver - Power + volume down takes a screenshot - Apps open full screen, like on Android - Kernel updates installed from inside Linux Next up: Wi-Fi (driver in progress), Bluetooth, charging, audio, then camera, cellular and Android apps through Waydroid.

Do you believe that if you had this count here (views), we would have a gap up of customers... When the subject is gain from our users?!
When there’s a will there’s a way. Worst case scenario you can change an existing android rom just enough so the init system boots a linux userspace without relying on open source drivers or whatever. That’s basically how you would get started with Ubuntu Phone and SailfishOS a few years ago.
Motorola recently announced it would support GrapheneOS. It's worth buying products from companies that release phones like that.
