Phosh's caffeine quick setting (☕) can be used to prevent the system from going idle and from suspending.

This can be tweaked now so that one can have the system go idle but not suspend.

Very useful on Qualcomm based 📱 so one can prevent the system from suspending (to receive incoming phone calls and SMS) but still have blank and lock work as expected.

 A screenshot from a phosh session. The mobile settings app is open and shows the caffeine prefs. The user can tweak inhibit idle and inhibit suspend via two separate toggles.

We were discussing hiding & disabling preinstalled apps on immutable images at PCM26 and recently with the @postmarketOS #duranium folks.

We now have some bits that allow to hide those (and other) applications. There's plenty of more work needed for different app types (e.g. we can do better for webapps) so help here is appreciated.

#Phosh #LinuxMobile #gtk #BengalOS

With our changes to Phosh's first-boot in 0.55 and the recent changes in mobile settings we can now finally go full circle on immutable images:

  • Set up the initial user via systemd-homed
  • Perform OS upgrades from the mobile settings app using systemd-sysupdate

This  landed in Phosh's nightly images already but will hopefully also become useful for other immutable phone distros like @postmarketOS #Duranium .

As the systemd org.freedesktop.sysupdate1 interface is bound to change to #varlink in 262 this is currently rather minimal and will be tweaked in future releases but it makes things already usable without having to resort to the command line.

#LinuxMobile #Phosh #systemd #gtk #BengalOS

We've release #Livi 0.5.0, our light video player for mobile 📼 . It now shows a proper status page when processing a URL (by @tpikonen ) and can (optionally) avoid display notches in landscape mode when the #Wayland compositor sends the necessary information (e.g. #phoc does). It's already updated in #Debian and on #flathub.

PSA for distributions that use an older phoc with current phosh:

Starting from Phosh 0.56.0 (planned release date 2026-07-05) components like stevia (and likely phosh) will depend on phoc >= 0.55 (and thus #wlroots 0.20).

While it was always recommended to have the versions of the components of the stack in sync, some distros use phoc as old as 0.44.0 / wlroots 0.17 (from 2024). This already causes various issues for users but the session would at least start.

This won't be the case for 0.56.0 and later versions, unless you revert the changes. For 0.56 this will be rather small changes but it will become more involved over time so please update the compositor.

You can completely ignore this message if phosh, phoc and stevia are the same version.
