Gnome on Mobile (Experimental Code Base)

This is our second Preview of the code by the upstream Gnome project. It is an early look at what might be possible when using Gnome 43 on a phone, like the Pinephone (Pro). The code is in Alpha state and should not been used in Production. You can experiment get an early feeling what it might be. What you see might not end up in the final product when released. Take it as is and don't report issues, as it is far from a final release.

Things to expect

• TBD

More info here and here. Additional information can be found also here. Upstream work for Shell can be followed here and for Mutter here.

Developers

• Jonas Dreßler working on shell and mutter

Known Issues

• on first boot you may either land in a tty or see just a wallpaper. Simply do a reboot to load full Gnome-Shell

Things to expect

• New gesture API: Technical groundwork for the two-dimensional navigation gestures (done)
• Screen size detection: A way to detect the shell is running on a phone and adjust certain parts of the UI (done)
• Panel layout: Using the former, add a separate mobile panel layout, with a different top panel and a new bottom panel for gestures (in progress)
• Workspaces and multitasking: Make every app a fullscreen “workspace” on mobile (in progress)
• App Grid layout: Adapt the app grid to the phone portrait screen size, ideally as part of a larger effort to make the app grid work better at various resolutions (in progress)
• On-screen keyboard: Add a narrow on-screen keyboard mode for mobile portrait
• Quick settings: Implement the new quick settings designs

• Caleb Connolly patching the early code, so we are able to run this prototype
