LinBits 57: Weekly Linux Phone news / media roundup (week 31/32)

It's Wednesday. Now what happened since last Wednesday?

A postmarketOS service pack, Phosh 0.13.0, KDE app ads, Jitsi calling on PinePhone and more! Commentary in italics.

Siglo is now available a Flathub, which should help InfiniTime users across distributions.

Mobile NixOS: July 2021 round-up.
Mobian Blog: To Bullseye and beyond!. I am so glad when Mobian is finally no longer frozen!

Purism: Librem 5 support in mainline Linux. Nice progress!
Claudio Cambra: Making Kalendar pretty — Kalendar week 9 (GSoC 2021). Kalender is really shaping up nicely! If you want to, and run an Arch-based distro, you can try it fresh from the AUR - the package name is kalendar-git.

TuxPhones: JingPad A1 (DVT) review, part 1 . Great review, going into detail on performance and the non-mainline kernel.

Gamey: PINEPHONE: 5 more amazing Apps!. A few really nice apps that you might not know yet!

Simon Sáfár: Emacs OS Mobile. Nice idea. I once saw something similar, and there's been prior art.

pink pantsu: Jitsi meet video call with Gstreamer This is this weeks highlight. The code is here, and there's a Reddit post that explains a little more. While the author seems slightly disappointed with the amount of CPU use, compared to previous attempts at getting video chatting working on the PinePhone, this is a massive improvement.
蕭博文powen: progress of Odysseyra1n with pinera1n using manjaro. If you want to jailbreak an iPhone...
KDE: KDE Gear ⚙️ 21.08: An ad for Elisa, KDE's simple and fancy music player. Fun ad!

Sadly none this week, just a minor addition to the Phosh App Drawer post.

LinuxPhoneApps has made some more progress, but not enough to put it online. Given a close family member's recent health emergency I can't set any deadline right now. It's going to be hard enough to keep these updates going.
I have also played with Waydroid on Arch Mobile a bit, but not really, because I wanted to do so on camera

These apps were added in the past week, pushing the App count to 309:

Breathing, a very simple application that guides your breathing pattern,
GNOME Screenshot, a small utility that takes a screenshot of the whole desktop; the currently focused window; or an area of the screen,
Metronome beats the rhythm for you, you simply need to tell it the required time signature and beats per minutes.
