We live in a smartphone-dominated world clouded with privacy concerns unlike ever before. With every new smartphone, our privacy is compromised for the sake of safety, and we easily accept it and move on as usual. But do we really have to live with the microphones on the phone listening to us at all times,
haha, none at all!
I’ve spent like 6 months trying to boot normal NixOS instead of mobile-nixos, got it booting last week, almost nothing works, currently I’m trying to build a newer kernel and maybe fix sound.
I quite like the boot chain that I achieved (bootloader -> tianocore EDK II UEFI from Renegade Project -> normal systemd-boot) and I also installed the whole thing via USB by mounting disks directly.
On Mobian I think at least one camera did work but was purple all over, never actually tested the hardware on android.
All mobile distributions ship without kernel modules that I need, compiling manually on every update is not really sustainable, this is the reason why my setup is so convoluted.
thanks for the linked writeup, always new stuff to learn.
I’m on 6T and mobian, how’s your luck with taming cameras?
