Phosh is a mobile desktop interface based on the GNOME stack. It was originally created for Purism's Librem 5, but can be used on any device.
Installation
Using pmbootstrap
, Phosh can be installed by selecting it as the UI in pmbootstrap init
.
On existing systems, it can be installed by installing the postmarketos-ui-phosh
meta package or phosh
if postmarketOS specific customization is not wanted.
When running pmbootstrap install
to flash a phone or sd card you'll be prompted for a user password. Make sure to only use numeric characters [0-9] in this password as the phosh lock screen uses this password as a pin. On an existing phosh install you can change your user password and pin in the terminal with the standard passwd
command.
Starting Phosh
If postmarketos-ui-phosh
is installed, Phosh will be automatically launched via the LightDM display manager.
It can also be launched manually by running dbus-run-session /usr/bin/phosh
.
Calls
For calls to work, you need to go into the sound settings, and set the Configuration to "Make a phone call". This will redirect sound through the modem.
