Pixel 3 up and running (again again again), huge props to @drakulix for getting things rebased and fixing all the regressions and weird new issues.

the pixel 3 in my hand in front of my laptop with kernel sources open. the pixel 3 screen shows the GNOME settings hardware info page, it's running linux 6.11-rc2

Now I want to try PostmarketOS myself sometime. I have a Pixel 3 that's sitting mostly unused, still running the stock Android image. I'll get a newer device for Android testing, then I can put PMOS on the Pixel 3. Would be interesting to hack together a prototype of a screen reader running on GNOME Mobile with touchscreen support.

the issue is, as far as I understand it, that at-spi doesn't support touchscreen input at all. Otherwise though, it's doable

@matt it would be amazing to have somebody with a11y experience have a look at our systems! Unfortunately we're still "beta", and have several things to fix that would really benefit from somebody with the experience to have a look at (e.g: gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmapor…). If you install it and get hooked on Linux Mobile, maybe we could explore some grants/funding 😉

@pabloyoyoista If I get serious about developing for PMOS, do you think it would be better for me to use my old Pixel 3 or get a PinePhone or other better-supported hardware? I guess the most important things for screen reader development and testing would be reliable touch input and sound.
