or rather the ‘double-tap’ would be customized to only respond to a SPECIFIC tap pattern that only YOU know 
Like a music rhythm pattern? Just hope that you don’t miss one single tap while this 30s sequence.

We actually have that! It’s implemented in the lock screen. Sensitive to 10 different tap positions.

doesn’t seem to work on mine. Is that implemented in byzantium?
Irony is hard to get in the WWW, I guess @dcz just meant you can (un)lock your phone with a PIN - hence the 10 different tap positions: 0 - 9

I see. Just hoped I could wake up the device with a double tap (as in Sailfish OS). No need for unlocking
irony is hard to get even face to face not to mention when you’re wearing a face nappy 
but anyway the screen doesn’t make it any less easy. i was ironic as well

At this rate, I may actually be able to get a PinePhone 2 before I get the L5 I ordered more than 2 years ago.

I feel lost that how many version of Librem 5 USA phone are there, which now we in the year of 2025?

There may be only one version of the Librem 5 USA, now officially called Liberty Phone, and it has 4GB RAM and 128GB disk.
That is “v2” in the sense that the Librem 5 USA used to come with less RAM and a smaller disk. It probably isn’t “v2” in the sense of customer’s wildest dreams.

I still stand by my original thinking about this hardware dev stuff… I think Purism took on way too much at once by trying to do an original hardware and software device.
I wish they had just focused on the software side and gotten us the best possible hardware (with kill switches and maybe a 3.5 jack still, but stop there). I bet the project would’ve been much more successful.
This probably isn’t a popular opinion among this crowd because I know some are concerned about the closed source ‘blobs’ that comes with certain hardware or whatever. And I would like that too, if it didn’t come at a high cost (it almost killed the entire experiment!!). I believe that requirement is what drove the infamous refund (or lack of) controversy ruining delivery dates (and Purism’s reputation).
You can only do so much at a time, and it appears to me the software ecosystem needs to be in much better shape before the Free hardware situation can be improved on.
Maybe I am being naive in some way not being expert at hardware engineering… but I know how hard software engineering is. And from years watching this project, through covid and all that crap that went down, it looks like hardware engineering is even harder. Taking on both at the same time was crazy and I’m still surprised they managed to technically pull it off.
It’s good they got to first base (barely), but not the home run we were hoping for.
