Omarchy Mobile: this week's update It was a big week, and more than half of it came from the community. Ports to new Pixels moved forward, a lot of hardware support landed, and the daily-driver experience on the Pixel 7 Pro got more polished. 🌱 New devices - Pixel Fold (felix): went from first light to a real bring-up. Storage behind our read-only safety guard, the GPU enabled, volume keys, the power key, the hinge sensor and the cover screen's console. Work has started on its cover touchscreen. Thanks, boozedog! - Pixel 8 Pro (husky, Tensor G3): our mainline kernel boots it with USB and SSH. Getting there turned up and fixed a USB bug that froze the phone, and that fix can go upstream to Linux too. Thanks, greenbrettmichael! - Pixel 9a (tegu, Tensor G4): first light is recorded. More than a dozen kernel pieces for Tensor G4 merged, covering clocks, storage, pins, power management, GPU and touch, and a read-only battery gauge is in review. Thanks, W4HO-ham! - Pixel 7a (lynx): new this week! A first-light board and an on-screen console are in review. Thanks, latentoperator! - Pixel 6 (gs101): the build and flash tooling, bootloader glue and Mali-G78 GPU support merged. Thanks, robotosaith and bilacc! - Also in progress: the Pixel 4 and the POCO F3, our first non-Pixel port. 📱 Pixel 7 Pro, the reference phone - Camera: Night mode and HDR in omacam. Several raw frames are aligned and merged on the phone, and libcamera gained noise reduction and defective-pixel correction. - Calls: groundwork for phone calls, with calls over the lock screen, a call indicator, Do Not Disturb that lets starred contacts through, and an Emergency call button on the lock screen. - Notifications: you can reply straight from the notification. - Charging: the charger and its battery-temperature guard now start at boot. - Suspend: Wi-Fi stays connected across sleep and we've measured the first sleep power numbers. - Fingerprint: unlock keeps working across sleep. - Updates: Omarchy updates now follow Omarchy's stable channel on the phone, and our phone patches are reapplied automatically after each update. - Kernel cleanup: the Tensor G2 watchdog and power-management hardware is now documented to upstream standards, and the result booted on the phone this week. 🛠️ For contributors - Every pull request now runs automatic checks in both repositories, kernel included. - There's a one-command phone smoke test for PR reports. - Shared install tooling handles new devices, and the installer refuses images built for another device. - We reviewed more than 20 pull requests this week, and our review notes and lessons are public. 🙌 Get involved Have a spare Pixel 6, 7, 8 or 9? Check the supported-devices page and the Wanted list in the repo, and open an issue so efforts don't overlap. Have another phone or tablet with an unlocked bootloader? Point your agents to the repo and have them get to work! github.com/derekross/omarchy…

We made the first AI model you can have a realistic conversation with that was trained entirely on speech! Dessa is a full-duplex speech-to-speech model that you can run on consumer GPUs. This is a GPT3 moment for speech.

Okay, Hermes making phone calls is unreal. Hermes doesn't have to wait for you to check in anymore. It can just call you. A new plugin in the Hermes catalog, hermes-whatsapp-voice, gives Hermes live voice calls over regular WhatsApp. No business account needed. What that looks like: ▸ It rings you when something actually needs you, like an urgent reminder or a scheduled morning check-in ▸ You can call it back and have it handle things mid-call ▸ When you hang up, a recap lands in your WhatsApp chat ▸ It can only ring your number. Nobody else's Notifications pile up and get swiped away. A ringing phone gets answered. It's community-built and runs on an unofficial WhatsApp connection, so set it up on a spare number.

Update: the Z Fold 8 form factor is incredible. One of the best feeling devices I’ve ever used. Going back to my iPhone feels like going back a generation. I’m so excited for the Duo.

Claude Opus 5.5 with Codex-level computer use would be unbeatable

I am surprised that people are surprised this is how I prompt Claude. Talk to Claude the way you would a coworker. There's no secret to prompting. There's no need to be overly scaffolded or prescriptive for most tasks -- give Claude a goal, and it will figure it out. Back in the Sonnet 3.5 days, your prompt mattered a lot. Nowadays, it's much more important to communicate to the model: 1. What you want it to do 2. How much effort you want it to spend 3. How it should verify that it did the right thing

Maybe this is sacrilege to some, but I think it's awesome. Microsoft Word and Excel running wonderfully through Microsoft 365 frameless web-apps on Omarchy. It'll be Install > Service > Microsoft 365 in the next version.

yall still use Omarchy? things have slowed down a bit on my timeline lately when it comes to it whos actually using it still everyday as their main OS?

How much access have you actually given your Hermes agent?
