I’ve owned a Pinephone Pro since launch, and have tried to daily drive it on and off for years with limited success. It’s sitting in a drawer at the moment because echo cancellation doesn’t work on phone calls regularly.
Anyways, I have a Pixel 3a sitting around that needs a battery replacement, but I wanted to ask here if anyone else is running Linux on it? And if so, how is the experience? I’ve been using Linux for decades, so I have no problem working around quirks, but I just want a Linux phone I can text and make phone calls on. I really don’t have too many advanced app needs other than podcasts and web browsing.
Thanks in advance to anyone that replies.
I run postmarketos on my old pixel 3a, and it works great as a linux device, but I haven’t used it for calls/sms. The wiki says sms should work but calls are only partially supported.
If yours is just sitting unused, postmarketos is definitely worth a try.
edit: apparently postmarketos changed its name to nura three days ago, and that link redirects to their rebranded wiki
Me too. Works fine as a very power efficient server.
