No need to apologize!
On android you can use this `adb shell dumpsys telephony.registry`
This has been confirmed working on the FP6 with e/OS, it might also work stock but i don't know for sure.

I mean the UN doing something doesn't really matter. The UN sending a strongly worded letter is a meme for a reason.
What does matter is that an invasion of Greenland would trigger NATO.

The FP6 has full working audio calls with my image, yes the issue with audio routing was also there for the FP6 port, so i solved it by stop trying to solve it.
Im doing IMS fully in userspace now, so it just goes via regular wireplumber instead of the modem's voice services.

There are some dutch websites that still sell the 5, but they are more expensive then the 6.

It's hard to justify to myself to spend so much money on a last gen phone that would also take alot of time to get running.

I am not planning to work on the FP5 unless there is significant demand, might run a poll after i'm done with the FP6.
The most sensible phone after the FP6 seems to be the FP6 plus that will be coming out, depends on how much of the hardware is the same but since its a refresh it should be pretty similar.
Also you linked the wrong repo, my repo is: https://forgejo.catcrafts.net/Catcrafts/milos-linux

Yeah that is a known issue with the pmos flash instructions, are you just flashing my image or using the installer?
The default way zeros out the modem partition, so all the modem data is gone upon booting into pmos, only way to fix that is to flash android again.
My installer saves the modem data, so if you use in the installer ir should work.

I don't like python personally, but saying its useless is quite far detached from reality considering all the python projects.
You can argue its slow and i would agree, but if people make alot of stuff with it its clearly not useless.
A programing language cannot be better than another one because its personal opinion.

It really depends if you mean:
1. You want to learn mobile linux development
2. You want to learn linux kernel development
3. You want to learn software development in general
i will try my best to awnser each of these:
1. This is fairly straightforward, but it really depends on your device, ideally you want a device that already boots but has some features missing, and then start the easiest of those, the sensors on the FP6 were fairly easy since they were all on the I2C bus and the manual showed the exact pins. To obtain this knowledge the easiest way is to just look at android, if an open source version exists for your device, you can download that and look how they do it, aswell as using a rooted device to view it live. it could just be as easy as copying android.
2. Don't go straight to the phone, get started on kernel development on your pc first, make a simple module for example. don't dive straight into the deep of phones.
3. Don't go into the kernel at all, if you start hard you will get frustrated and quit. Pick something you would have fun with developing, something very easy. and then get started with that. this really depends on the person however so its hard to give concrete advice here. but make a simple C or C++ game or app or console utility that you would enjoy.
https://www.w3schools.com/ is a very easy introduction, alternatively you could use AI aswell. but make sure to tell it to never do the work for you. make it give you hints or explanations.

Hello again!
I have returned with more patches, this time i bring you. All the sensors!
![](https://ani.social/pictrs/image/b370fd12-9dcc-4700-a117-34f9000424b4.webp)
This entire collum can be made green.
We are nearing 100% completion, but im afraid true 100% might never happen.
I was working on the fingerprint sensor aswell, but its gated behind the TEE, and can't be read from the kernel. This is going to be an issue.
So the end state might not be 100% sadly, but i hope people don't miss the fingerprint sensor too much? (ill see if i can get it working but this is one thing i cannot promise)
But we are nearing the end, With the sensors done the only thing left is the cameras.
I contacted the person who's blog was posted here: https://ani.social/post/34679544
and cool guy, we agreed to coordinate our efforts with the camera, so expect that one coming soon.
## My hot take on the current discusion
This might earn me some hate but i am against Jolla, many people argue "don't let perfection stand in the way of good" but we have perfection right here, its the FP6.
For several reasons:
![](https://ani.social/pictrs/image/10297a08-38fe-4bfd-98aa-1a1f7bb83191.webp)
This is blatant false advertising.
>The Jolla phone is not based on Big Tech technology
Yet it uses a Big Tech kernel.
There is a huge difference between a mainline linux phone and a linux phone using an android kernel.
Combined with the fact that has much debated that there are closed source components and it can't run wayland apps.
There should be no excuse for closed source components period, no matter if they are small or easily to remove, if there is close source anywhere that means that closed source is not an required but a marketing strategy.
And that is the issue i have with Jolla, it gives me the wrong vibe, big tech wearing foss clothing.
>Jolla is a Finnish company specializing in privacy-first OS and Edge AI solutions. Founded in 2011, we continue the legacy of Nokia and MeeGo, driving mobile innovation into the human-centric AI era.
>
>We develop Sailfish OS, the only European mobile OS, trusted globally for over a decade, and now enhanced for AI-driven applications.

>With over 60 successful software release deliveries and a proven track record across multiple hardware platforms, we collaborate with partners in the automotive and telecommunications sectors to drive innovation with our OS and Edge AI technologies.
>copied form https://jolla.com/ 08/08/2026
This really makes my alarm bells whistle, are they a private phone company or an AI company??? Why this marketing language?
Let me give you an example:
![](https://ani.social/pictrs/image/39a260df-48c0-4ba5-ab41-d127c4a9b643.webp)
These are the FP6 wire diagrams, free to download at https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/37795041144082
This is commitment to open source, this single document has allowed me to do this bringup.
Does Jolla publish one? not that i can find. If they do i retract this point but i haven't been able to find it.
So why don't they? If they truly believe in openness why not publish these documents? My hypothesis: they don't care. Its all just marketing.
Soon the FP6 will be fully ready, a true daily drivable modern mainline linux phone.
I believe in maximum openess, so lets define mainline:
its the https://github.com/milos-mainline/linux staging kernel, combined with my patches.
All my patches have already been submitted on the list, but these will take time to be reviewed, it will be a very long time before they will be integrated in the kernel itself.
But they have been submitted, and im activily working on the maintainer feedback, these will make it eventually.
Once cameras are done, i will make an easy to install script and post it here.
Simultaneously i will begin selling preflashed units on my shop: https://catcrafts.net/shop/fp6-pmos
These will be identical if you flash it yourself, these are for people that can't otherwise buy one, don't want to flash it themselves, or want to support me.
I also want not only the code to be open but also the business to be open and honest, i take whatever price i can source the phones at and add a €50 euro markup, none of this ending the price in 99 nonsense.
I do this to cover the administrative costs and labor costs.
This is cheaper then the Murena /e/OS version:
https://murena.com/shop/smartphones/brand-new/murena-fairphone-6/
Which is currently priced at €599 as of time of writing.
And this might bankrupt me but im willing to stand by it:
>When a product does have to travel (a hardware fault, or a product so far gone it no longer responds to recovery tools at all), the shipping is paid by Catcrafts, both directions
>
>https://catcrafts.net/legal/terms
I also looked at the privacy policy of the Jolla website:
>We may also permit third parties and services providers to use Cookies on our Site to better tailor the services, products and advertising on our Site and other websites.
>
>https://commerce.jolla.com/policies/privacy-policy
THIRD PARTY ADVERTISING COOKIES ON A COMPANY THAT MARKETS ITSELF AS PRIVACY FOCUSED????
What a joke.
This is a privacy focused policy:
https://catcrafts.net/legal/privacy
The only thing i collect that i don't need is request logging, but i hope you understand why i do that.
No cookies, no advertising, nothing.
No i don't want to make this sound as advertising myself, i want this to sound like what the example of a open, honest, and privacy focused company should look like.
If you made it this far thank you for reading my rant, if anything is wrong or i have made a mistake please let me know in the comments and i will correct it.

Not really, there is not really and official linux kernel maintainer for specifically the FP6, Luca maintains the FP6 kernel but does so out of tree.

I don't intend to run it as a profit making business, i do say my dream would be able to quit my job and do open source full time, sadly that does require money since i need to eat. So i would like to make as little profit as possible but enough that i can pay myself a living wage.

Ofcourse! This is still happening, this would be for the people that just want it out of the box or could otherwise not purchase one.

While celebrating my previous post of working call audio @npub1qrh…3zlr left this excellent comment:
https://ani.social/post/34656971/17805917
And this reminded me something that i and many devs sadly often forget, if its works for me it doesn't mean it works for everyone.
My philosophy is that linux should be as accesible as possible, nobody should be forced to be stuck with big tech.
So i tried my best to add orca screenreader support to plasma-mobile.
I mad this statement on my previous post
> But a successful one!
But i genuinely don't know if i can claim that today, i don't use a screenreader so i don't know what the user experience should look like. I will glady incorporate feedback.
As with my kernel patches i will be working to upstream this with KDE, since this is probably not controversial i think it should be accepted quite quickly.
# Small celebration:

Some comments mentioned this and it got me thinking, would there be demand for this?
I would be selling them on my catcrafts.net website, payment methods would be my bunq so wero, bancontact, credit card and crypto.
If you are interested in this, please upvote my comment, ive been looking into this and there is quite alot of administration that comes with it, so i would like to only do this if there is actual demand.

2026-07-24 01:07:31 UTC

- reply

Honestly if there is demand, which judging from the comments here there is. I might start selling them with pmos and prepatched so they work out of the box.
I can buy the phones here in the Netherlands for €395 currently, tax and shipping and stuff does still need to be added to that.
Would that be interesting for you?
I would rather not want to charge a markup as that goes against my values but I would like to have some compensation for my time doing these as this is a per unit time cost instead of a one time cost as with software.
As a potential customer would you agree more with a small markup (think like €15 maybe) or an optional donation?

2026-07-24 00:58:21 UTC

- reply

Not yet, for development I have to completely wipe it regularly which makes having all my data on there a bit inconvenient.
Once I'm done with the hardware development I do plan on using it as my main phone, cause why go trough all this trouble otherwise?
Battery life is fine enough, lasts about a day with my current, for example I turn wifi power saving off cause otherwise my ssh keeps dropping, I made a somewhat detailed power analysis in my first post here.
Calls are dependable, haven't tested SMS yet.
The only thing about calls is that imsd currently doesn't support emergency calls which I do plan on adding in the future, but testing it is a crime, so I need to figure that out.

Glad to see more people working on it! I think the Fairphone 6 might actually have the potential to become a "mainstream" linux phone.
I hope maybe fairphone would be interested in selling a variant with pmOS pre installed, like they do with murena?
The issue with mainstream linux is that the average person doesn't know what a bootloader, adb, fastboot etc is. They just use whatever it comes with out of the box.
And that is not bad, I think that eltisim will bring us nowhere. Instead of arguing with people that they should learn the terminal like its scripture we should focus on making the user experience as easy and frictionless as possible, so that a person can just order a phone and that it just fully works. No installation or other stuff required.
I think if that is the primary blocker for mainstream adoption.

If you're serious and trust me enough I could do it, pre flashed with pmos if you want.

So here it is! working VoLTE calls with audio on linux!
What a rollercoaster it has been i'll tell you that.
The frequency between my previous posts was only a few days, as you can see from the time since my last post this has been a *far* harder project.
But a successful one!
Now fully powered trough my new imsd project:
https://forgejo.catcrafts.net/Catcrafts/imsd
As i said in a my previous comment no matter what i did the regular modem route wasn't working, so i had to come up with my own.
This has several advantages however, call audio is now just routed trough wireplumber & pipewire, so its integrated much better.
Both inbound and outbound calls work.
# How do i get this???
The patient route is waiting until my patches get accepted upstream, a few already have and are coming in 7.3 probably (pmos runs 7.0 currently still oof), a few will probably take longer, 7.4 or beyond.
but for the ones that want to jump right on ive published everything on my forgejo:
https://forgejo.catcrafts.net/Catcrafts
I will soon be publishing a shell script that does the entire installation soon for easy installation.
Sadly there is no way to just plug in an android and do it, so there are still a few manual steps needed, but i believe the path to adoption is reducing friction as much as possible, so ill do my best to make it as easy as possible to use.
# imsd
So what is an "imsd"?
its a full userspace implementation of the IMS protocol, which drives VoLTE (4G) calls.
Normally the modem firmware drives this, but this is quite difficult to work with, now it runs fully via a standard daemon on linux!
Along with several d-bus helpers that integrate it with standard plasma-dialer.
if made a APKBUILD for pmos that is mutually exclusive with 81voltd, and loads imsd instead. so installation should be easy.
>Now will this actually work?
That's where you come in!
I am just one guy with one phone with one carrier.
I can say it works on the Fairphone 6 with KPN. it might work with other carriers and other Qualcomm phones aswell, so potentially this could work for the entire linux phone ecosystem, but i have no way to test that.
If you end up trying it, no matter if it works or doesn't work, please send me a message or open a PR, then we can make sure it works for everyone!

I really was surprised when people asked me this, i just see myself as a guy doing this in his free time, "why would people want to send donations to me?" i thought.
I still stand by my previous point, i have a job, and this project costs me nothing except for time, i don't have any costs. So i felt kinda guilty receiving money from people.
But i would much rather spend my time making software that benefits society instead of the B2B stuff i do at my job.
I really feel greedy for saying this, but if you want to send me a thank you then that is now possible at:
https://bunq.me/catcrafts
Please don't feel any pressure to do this, doesn't matter what i get im still continuing with this bring-up. And if you don't want to donate to me there are many linux organizations that could really use the support! In my eyes we are all in the same boat with the same goal.
If you do decide to, and i cannot express my gratitude enough if you do, please write in the description that it's a donation, as this makes tax easier.
# What's next?
Ive got a bunch more stuff coming soon, while i haven't posted here in quite a while i've been plenty busy on the mailing list:

So except some more posts soon.
# Bonus round
Having fully working hardware is great, but a phone that has no apps is pointless for most people, so i would like to start a discussion in the comments.
**What apps do you need that are preventing you from switching to mobile linux?**
