I got OnePlus 6 device, one of the devices that capable of running real linux. Now I have postmarketos with kde plasma mobile. Postmarketos is based on alpine and uses alpine aarch64 packages. I installed Lagrange and it’s definitely working just fine, except not optimized for 6.1 phone screen, any idea how I can get Lagrange mobile version on this device? Maybe there is a setting/switche to engage mobile interface UI? I am also using iOS Lagrange version, is it possible to build Lagrange Mobile version for Linux? I could help with testing and development(in some degree) of such version.

There is a CMake build option (ENABLE_MOBILE_PHONE) that activates the mobile phone UI layout. However, I think there is a few hardcoded checks for iOS and Android to enable some touch-first interactions.
It shouldn't be terribly difficult to adjust things to run properly on a mobile Linux, assuming there are no problems with SDL. I have no suitable hardware devices but could at some point try an emulator to get it running. Haven't had the time yet...
I think @emilis was looking at this recently using a Librem 5.
Sounds good, I will try to build Lagrange later today. Do you have any recommendations to cross-compile tools for aarch64 on x86? Also postmarketos has qemu target so you can just build and feel the linux mobile experience.😉
I've been messing with a combination of UI scaling value in Lagrange and forced scaling in compositor settings on PHOSH it's not perfect but it works much better. maybe I should try compiling Langrange from source too though.
I built version with phone UI and it looks like this

Is the keyboard always visible there or can it be dismissed?
Keyboard can be dismissed, but always shows again even without input field focus. Touch is working weird, and you have to stick finger much longer to engage action.
That sounds like some of the SDL input hints need to be changed. Would have to experiment on device/emulator to see what actually affects the behavior in practice.
