@L1Cafe Yes I understand. I meant something similar to that service. An Android program that reads your SMS and sends it to an xmpp account.
I played around with PMOS Phosh for #pinephone a bit and got music playing. Instructions here. https://codeberg.org/Supernova/braveheart-notes/src/branch/master/PostmarketOS%20Phosh.md
@L1Cafe JMP Chat is a service that uses XMPP to forward SMS and voicemail. Something like that you could program?

I don't think many people know about this but you can anonymize your DNS requests if you own some linux server with shell access. Steps to take:
1) Install Wireguard on your server
2) Install dnscrypt-proxy
3) Configure dnscrypt-proxy to use anonymized DNS in .toml file
4) Profit
You can also install PiHole for adblocking and configure it to use dnscrypt-proxy. You can connect then with Wireguard and have VPN+anon DNS+ adblocker.

I just added instructions on how to increase the size of your PinePhone system partition to use the entire SD card. https://codeberg.org/Supernova/braveheart-notes/src/branch/master/Ubuntu%20Touch.md
@kravietz This is why we need open source Linux phones. #pinephone
I pushed a big update to my PinePhone Ubuntu Touch setup instructions. This is very important because your phone is running an SSH server! If you are just getting started with UT on the #pinephone or even if you've been using it for a bit you may find this useful. https://codeberg.org/Supernova/braveheart-notes/src/branch/master/Ubuntu%20Touch.md
@nikolal I wonder if you disable battery optimization in Termux if that would force it to remain active. Just be sure to exit when you are truly done so not to waste battery!
@nikolal OK I see, yeah I'm not surprised that you can setup an ssh server with Termux. I never really felt the need to do that with Android, installing packages just by downloading the apk worked well enough and I never ran across any situation in my use cases where a CLI would be necessary. Using a mainline derived distro on a phone though the CLI is just so much easier since many things are accomplished this way.
@nikolal You mean adb shell? I never really played with that much. Maybe its the same. But with a Debian based system I am familiar with it. And you can do ssh keys, is that possible with adb?
@Wetrix That is an excellent choice. I recently switched to that from Debian on one of my hone PCs.
Ubuntu Touch is by far the best OS I have tried on the PinePhone. I am really impressed. Very responsive, no major UI issues of windows not fitting within the screen size, gestures work very well. Briefly tried the OpenStore to install some web apps, haven't tried any flatpak or anything yet.
Scratch that. Moved to a more own source friendly platform. https://codeberg.org/Supernova/braveheart-notes
I am keeping my notes on testing PinePhone here. https://github.com/Perelandra0x309/braveheart-notes
I will post tips on getting things working as I discover them and list the good/bad things I find. I only did a brief test of each OS this weekend.
@nikolal No it's a bit different with the PinePhone. You download an .img file then burn that to an SD card. https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/pinephone
