New #phosh #squeekboard landed in #postmarketOS! Handles fractional scaling significantly better now! The keyboard still gets smaller, but it stretches to fill the available space rather than wasting space with black bars and making the keys even smaller. I hope that fractional scaling eventually will not impact keyboard height at all, but this is already a huge usability upgrade.

This is at 150% scale:

The quick settings in #phosh got massively overhauled doing away with
the long press and they now have nicer status pages (fosstodon.org/@arunmani@mastod) ➕ custom quick settings can now have status pages ➕ Phosh now also picks up the accent color if configured
(fosstodon.org/@agx@librem.one/) ➕ there's a new Pomodoro timer quick setting ➕ We now save screenshots to screenshots folder ➕ More fixes to the
notification system, styling and other parts of the shell and the compositor

Sacré bleu !

Based on my previous failed experiments, I was not expecting to get so close on the first try (well, first now that I'm working with a functioning keyboard). By "this," I mean swipe typing using wvkbd and swipeGuess, btw.

Obviously, my word list needs tweaking. There are some words that are just impossible to swipe due to similarly located results that take precedent, but it should be possible to refine over time. There is...

Okay I'm back after the first leg of the journey. I'd put the phone on suspend for a while which also stonewalls calls and SMSes but informs me when I wake it up (#PocoF1 bug, or, shall I say, feature)

Here's a demonstration of the cellular being switched off. in #Phosh. The mobile data toggle thing is. now working fine by the way

Just scored a huge quality of life win here. My biggest gripe with pmOS thus far has been the on-screen keyboards. I've tried squeek, stub, unfettered, and I feel like there's one more... but w/e, they all leave something to be desired, *except* for wvkbd, which I liked immediately, but it's not built for Phosh (does not implement the OSK0 dbus interface), and installing it before I knew that caused huge problems on my Poco F1.

But, thanks to...

#PostmarketOS, day whatever: my biggest problems with this phone are 1: audio from main speaker is cooked, and 2: it needs a new battery. #Phosh is an absolute delight. Having full fat Firefox ESR in my pocket is pretty lit. Got MMS working as well. Once I can actually get untethered from the wall, I can definitely live this life, even with the borked speaker audio. Honestly once my left earbud rematerializes, I don't even care that much about the speaker lol
