LINux on MOBile - XMPP+OMEMOLINMOB.net is a blog about LINux on MOBile devices. With the PinePhone (Pro) and Librem 5 shipping it is back to report on GNU+Linux on mobile devices.Zola2020-07-09T16:30:18+00:00https://linmob.net/tags/xmpp-omemo/feed.xmlPinePhone Daily Driver Challenge - Part 02020-07-09T16:30:18+00:002020-07-09T16:30:18+00:00https://linmob.net/pinephone-daily-driver-challenge-part0/<p>I shot and <a href="https://youtube.com/watch?v=0Ju6szQebPk">published a video</a> today, which is — among other things — the first part of my "PinePhone as a daily driver" challenge, in which I am currently just trying to solve the most immidiate issues and figure out the most necessary features I would require to use the [PinePhone][https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/] as my primary smartphone.</p>
<span id="continue-reading"></span>
<p>In a <a href="https://linmob.net/2020/06/26/41-minutes-of-PinePhone-content.html">recent post</a> I made up a list.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Now: What would I need?</p>
<ul>
<li>access to my Nextcloud instance,</li>
<li>a secure (as in encrypted) storage on the PinePhone/SD Card,</li>
<li>a way to open/use my KeePass password database,</li>
<li>XMPP+OMEMO messaging (already kind of works),</li>
<li>encrypted Matrix chats,</li>
<li>GPG encrypted email,</li>
<li>a way to open text documents that are not PDF (Abiword still has that <code>--enable-embedded</code> <code>./configure</code> flag),</li>
<li>something usable for <code>org-mode</code>,</li>
<li>an application to view maps and my approximate location.</li>
</ul>
<p>I would also like</p>
<ul>
<li>navigation,</li>
<li>a <code>quassel</code>-client,</li>
<li>a way to run Android apps (like Threema) if necessary (= working anbox),</li>
<li>and a lot more I can't even think of now.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Obviously, this list is nowhere near complete. I would certainly require</p>
<ul>
<li>a camera app for quick "foto notes",</li>
<li>an app for listening to podcasts,</li>
<li>an app for notetaking,</li>
</ul>
<p>and a lot more I can't think of now. Many of these are actually almost solved on the PinePhone with <a href="https://www.mobian-project.org">Mobian</a> right now:</p>
<ul>
<li>Gnome Password Safe is a decent KeePass-Compatible password manager,</li>
<li>the Nextcloud integration via Gnome Online Accounts works, calendar and contacts sync fine,</li>
<li>XMPP+OMEMO is a given with Chatty, although the messages my brother sends me are quite often not being successfully decrypted,</li>
<li>Fractal is a decent Matrix client, sadly it lacks encryption,</li>
<li>Gnome Podcasts seems fine, though it lacks features,</li>
<li>the new Gnome Camera app is good enough for just capturing a photo of a quick paper note or similar.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Maps app, however, has issues and needs work, as you can see in my video:</p>
