Is there any way to run DeltaChat on mobian on the PinePhone or PineTab (arm64)?

This is very high-level, but this topic is sort of solved now. Deltatouch is not absolutely perfect (what is?), and it is not yet in the Debian package database, but it runs well on Mobian . I suggest adding Delta Touch to the Linux phone apps list . It works better than most of the things on there. …

There is no client ready for use, but you can help testing and developing Kirigami-based client: [image] Native Client for Linux based mobile OS Feature Proposal I made a prototype of Kirigami-based client: https://git.sr.ht/~link2xt/kdeltachat It is not ready for day-to-…

I had a look at your prototype, but as I am not a programmer, I don’t understand very much of it … I thought more to get for example the AppImage run on the PineTab, as I have already the AppImage run on my debian desktop.

I’m also looking for away to get DC running on Mobian – that would be great! I’m also looking for binaries, recipes to follow just don’t work when I put my skills to test, too…

Another ARM64 / aarch64 user here who would love to be able to run DeltaChat (both on arch/manjaro and debian/armbian/mobian distros + aarch64 hardaware.) Only slightly related: The appimage download pages don’t mention that the files are x86-64, from an end-user standpoint it would be nice to have…

I have created an unlisted repository for Flatpak builder scripts, you can use it to bulid and test KDeltaChat on Linux easily: ~link2xt/kdeltachat-flatpak - sourcehut git You may need to update the commit hash (last line in chat.delta.kdeltachat.yml) with a pointer to the latest commit in ~link2xt…

Thanks for your work! I tried to build the flatpak but my PinePhone freezes with the flatpak-builder on “Building [=======> ] 410/411”

I would try cross compiling, as the ram of the pinephone might fill up compiling the core in release mode.

Looks like flatpak-builder has built-in qemu support for cross-compliation, worth a try indeed: [image] Freedesktop SDK cross compilers In upcoming Freedesktop SDK 19.08 release, we will introduce cross compilers. x86-64 will be able to cross-compile to all other available architectures. a…

Any news on what to expect in far or near future? Without Signal or DeltaChat that phone is almost as useful as a paperweight :stuck_out_tongue:
