Jumped in to PMOS yesterday on a OnePlus6T. So far very few bugs. I like KDE Plasma on my desktop dev computer, so I went with it for this phone. It feels familiar and so far I'm loving it.

One thing I see that is odd is the battery life so far stays at 100% when I go poking around doing cat on files in my battery driver, I see the charge current value is much higher than the charge_full value. Will this possibly correct itself over multiple charge cycles?

I read up on it a little in the PMOS wiki, but any extra insight would be much appreciated.

Is it worth while to set up matrix to join the conversation on the matrix channel postmarketos has?

I got continuwuity up and running without much trouble. I might even try to get the rtc part running using Element X. Thanks for the information. So far it's working as expected with just messaging and rooms.
