Just a note that sxmo is my primary OS for the Pinephone now. Phone calls have never worked, so I can't call it a daily driver, and the usual hassles with losing data service after CRUST shutoff of the main CPU. But as a small bedside tablet it is excellent!
Rolling up all the data across all the different bits of OS work, I'm coming to the (sad) conclusion that the Pinephone's chosen CPU is too hot and hungry to make this a viable phone platform. Maybe there'll be a Pinephone2 with a CPU which can be dialed down to 50Mhz, or maybe with a big.little to let background services (including Wifi) continue in a low power fashion.
