If you are using Manjaro on a PinePhone, you might want to look at this alert:

Hi!
A couple weeks ago I was trying to write Tow-Boot to my Pinephone Pro's SPI Flash. It worked once, so I know that the SPI device is connected and functional. However, (unrelated to the Tow-Boot install) I messed up the Manjaro-Phosh installation I had previously installed on the Pinephone pro, so I reinstalled Manjaro-Phosh which removed Tow-Boot from the SPI flash. I tried to rewrite Tow-Boot in the same way as before, but it got stuck and I forced the Pinephone Pro to power-off. I then tried to write Tow-Boot again and I got the following error:

Hi,

I am a happy and daily Pinebook Pro user since may 2021. The last years, I broke the USB-C port, then the keyboard panel at the left hinge.
I decided to replace the motherboard and keyboard panel, ordered the pieces and received them3 days after.

Then I had some free hours yesterday to fix my loved laptop. And I was really pleased by the well written documentation. I followed the section describing the different steps with very clear illustrations.
And in some minutes, I have a almost new shiny laptop.

Everything was immediately working except wifi and bluetooth, because the chips changed (BCM43456 to BCm43455) the new chip is supported by official linux firnware and same for bluetooth.

Very happy user 

Hello,
I'm a complete beginner to this area, but I'm interested in using a Pinecil V2 with wax for jewellery modelling. Before I buy one, I'm wondering whether it's possible to modify it to operate at around 60°C or lower while still maintaining accurate temperature control.

Has anyone tried this, or does anyone have experience using a Pinecil for wax work? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, recommendations, or any potential limitations before I make a purchase.

what package has this for postmarketos

i'm just getting pmos set up and looking at wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Firewall.
using sudo nft list ruleset shows

tcp dport 24727 accept comment "accept connections for BundID AusweisApp2"

i think i have no use for this
not sure why it's automatically included

Maybe since I did https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_P...der_to_SPI , replacing ppp/spinor-flash-initial-setup.sh , inside ./rk2aw/rk2aw-spi-flasher --erase-all --rk2aw rk2aw/debug.img.spi : debug by normal, I redid with debug as original but still that issue.

In theory, could i run some pbx server software on the pinephone, considering it already has sim card slot and modem, could be a low cost solution...
Motivation? Have your local simcard calls available worldwide over vpn...

I'll try to document my experience as best as I can to help others.
If a noob like me can do it then so can you.

What are your thoughts on Mobian? Would you recommend something else?
Aside from the latest nightly, what specific version would you recommend?
Is there a particular phone/cell service you would recommend?

How do I get these parts working:
- Font Camera
- Rear Camera
- eSIM-card
- WiFi WPA3
- Encrypted Filesystem
- GPS
- Ironman Suit

Are there any power and battery management optimizations, tips and tricks?
Are they any Bluetooth, WiFi and Cellular tips you'd recommend for stability or problematic situations?

If anyone wants to play along or help that would be great
