#9 PBP, RP64, ModemManager, Phosh customization, Principles Sept. 20, 2021

We share the fun times we had debugging ModemManager call and SMS handling with the PinePhone. The bunch of news also includes how the PineBookPro and RockPro64 leveled up from testing to community and the black magic that had to be performed to get custom lockscreen and app menu backgrounds in Phosh with postmarketOS tweaks.

Like always, write feedback with #postmarketOSpodcast to our Mastodon.

Featuring @craftyguy, @PureTryOut, @MartijnBraam, @minlexx, @dylanvanassche, @ollieparanoid (in order of appearance).
