Good day @val,
As I always say, “Ignorance knows no fear”, so bear this in mind, as my ignorance on this topic is broad. Actually, while I do get an idea on what you mean, I really have no clue on how to reproduce anything you or @X512 do, lack of knowledge and skill. That being said, at the moment I just would like to see the Haiku boot icons on the screen. That would be enough for now, just for marketing purposes and to draw/drive attention on Haiku.
I presume that it would be easier with a Pine Rock64 board, I mean, to do the testing (standard keyboard, mouse, hdmi out), but it’s the Pinephone what I have now. Nonetheless, (ignorance speaking again) and I say this without yet being able to work seriously with the Layout API, if it is well designed, it would be a nice contender for a phone/touch sized device, as none of the available environments adapts well to the phone screen when scaling, in case they allow scaling. UBPorts, Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Gnome, all have plenty of issues, and only UBPorts (UT Tweak) and Plasma allow scaling; Gnome does allow scaling but need to use a external display and keyboard to set it through Tweaks.
Yes, I know Haiku targets desktop computing, not touch devices nor phones. Though the idea of a Haiku device in your pocket… mmmm…
Regards,
RR
