@dcz

I'm the one who asked about the Stanford University Frankencamera (fcam) project after your great talk at 38c3.

Link here: https://graphics.stanford.edu/papers/fcam/

It's pretty old now, but afaik, they were very early, if not the first, to do many of the computational photography stuff which now the norm in proprietary camera implementations.

They went to port the thing to the Nokia N900 which also was a Linux phone (no Android!). That's why I thought it sounds similar / related to what you're doing...

@vimja Yeah I had fcam installed on my N900 but I forgot it was called frankencamera :D

I still use the n900 btw. But I'm not sure if I should put effort into supporting it in libobscura :)

@dcz @vimja Well, I do have several N900's here, too, so it would actually be quite a good development platform. They are easily available, and very cheap...

But I have Librem 5, too. If you have libobscura working on either one, I'll try to replicate that.

@pavel @vimja I still have 2 and I use them daily, but I find them hard to get... And the GPU was still unsupported with mainline last time I checked. Did that change?

Also yes, Librem5 is my next target, apart from some architectural improvements.

@dcz @vimja So I have few N900s, but did not use them for long long time. Maemo Leste project has cache of them, so you can still get some. Maemo Leste also have graphics drivers integrated to mainline kernel, but no, it is not mainline.

So yes, Librem 5 is easier/more important target, PinePhone Pro and Pocofone likely being next, but N900 would still be cool, since everyone loves N900 :-).

@pavel @vimja I want a modern phone in that size.

I know I am in the minority, but I don't care about browsing the web on something smaller than a tablet except in an emergency. Notes, maps, alarm is all I need.
