Just got the modem on the Xperia 10 III working.

Want a small Linux phone with 5G?

It's even water-proof and cheap!

Help getting the few remaining components working and this could exist soon. ;-)

Main thing I need help with is audio. I have no idea about this, but it'd allow me to try it as a daily driver, which would help to get more stuff working.

My own Mobian build works well already. The plan is to get the remaining kernel support, upstream patches and then add the remaining bits for Mobian.

Oh and mainlining is not that hard, actually. I started with the flash LED, it is the simplest component. The display support came a few weeks later. :p

I don't even know C. I just add support for the things that can already work with the drivers that are in the kernel.
