    Unrelated, but have you programmed the Moments button to do anything in your fp6 image?

      No, it currently does nothing. No idea if its even in the DTS.

        I suppose i can’t claim true 100% hardware support without having it work and it doesn’t seem much trouble so i think i’ll add it as an edev and the user can decide what to do with it.

          Nice! It might be a good idea to set it by default to turn on Do Not Disturb mode, to keep the functionality similar to the original OS.

            I looked into this and it’s already in, its in /dev/input/event2 emitting SW_MUTE_DEVICE events.
