Toot

Written by Robert Mader on 2024-10-28 at 11:13

For #linuxmobile / #postmarketos / #mobian etc. folks: there's a rather beginner friendly task to improve battery life for qcom devices like the #oneplus6, #pixel3a etc. by making sure sensors are idle when not needed.

If you have some spare cycles, motivation, basic C literacy (or want to learn it) and know how to build and deploy/test a package with pmbootstrap (or want to learn it) - this one could be for you.

The details are here: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/2455#note_453587

Only reason it hasn't been done by others already seems to be just lack of time - so let's try to share work among more shoulders, especially as it's a task that's likely going to be quite rewarding :)

@rmader Boosting, sinc I don't have the time at the moment. But this is exactly how you'd get me to contribute. Nerdsnipe me with a problem just hard enough to not be trivial that I can actually solve. I'm curious if this will actually work and pull someone. And if so, I'd love to see such posts more often on my timeline :D

@rmader bookmarking in the hope that I shall be the one to pick this up and boosting in the fear that I won't :masto_flushed:

(I have a vested interest, as I'm running #Mobian on a #PocoF1

@rmader I've been working on that together with Dylan, in theory it really is almost no work. Problem is that there is some weird GLib threading related bug in libssc or libqmi where things break when sensor_open() is not called right after sensor_new(), and I haven't managed to figure that out.

@rmader So yeah, in theory all that is needed is https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/verdre/iio-sensor-proxy/-/commit/74a5860474b6e79cd6e3be13d1ff8dd9cd810b8b
