Hi all, totally new here at the forum so bear with me !

I am so far very pleased with the Pine 64 but I have plans of hooking it up to an old TV through a HDMI to VGA converter. The problem is that the TV does not (of course) support 720p. 

So I am looking for some way of setting the HDMI output to, say, 800x600 or less? I have read posts about the build.prop file but no examples on actually doing this!

Could someone please help me out or maybe explain why this is possible / not possible? 

Thanks !

I tried to build the realtek bluetooth driver by checking out the github for my version and applying the config.gz before running make modules and it still thinks the version is different.  Can you supply a kernel headers tarball for use with dkms?

I have fixed up the Makefile (I think) and created a dkms.conf file to allow for automatic module compilation but it complains about symbol versions not being identical.

finally i got my 2GB pine with wifi module . i used 32g samsung evo . downloaded remix dd 2 and coudnt flash it using phoenix , i used win32 for flashing.
all what i got is remix logo and nothing else .
btw i plugged 2amps power supply. 


any help would be appreciated

Hi guys, I got the 512 and added on the 7" touch screen. I do not see a way to connect the two. I see a couple places where there should be connectors for this screen but there isnt one. Does the 512 not support the screen? I dont remember seeing anything when I selected my rewards that said the two wont work together.

Thanks!

I recently received my 64+ board and have loaded Debian on it successfully using an HDMI cable to my TV. 
I then tried the same HDMI cable connected to an HDMI to DVI Adapter to my computer monitor and while I can operate the system, it has a purple/pink tint to the entire screen. 
I've tried various cables with same result.  I tried the DVI connector with same HDMI cable on another system (lattepanda windows board) and it worked fine (no tint).

Is there a setting or something I need to set on this board to get it to work properly via a DVI connector?

Any help is appreciated.

THANKS

Hi All, having an issue getting bluetooth to see my 3.0 mouse.  It see things like IT IS the remote device and it will connect
to, my Nexus player, my Macbook, and like that.  But doesn't seem to recognize an INPUT device.  Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help.

Is there a setting or some way to remove phone versions of applications from play store searches like I can do on the app store? Kind of a pain when you find 30 similarly named apps and don't want to wade through descriptions or install to find out it was designed for phone.

Hey guys,

This is the thing, when I make the order I thought I will stay in my house, or it would arrive sooner.

I will change of house in the end of next month, Is possible to change the address?

Thanks

In the box:
Pine 64 2GB
Wifi/BT POT
Power Supply
No name 16GB MicroSD card (blank) [Interestingly, my Backerkit page asked me what image I wanted pre-installed on my 8 GB card.  I chose Andriod, yet they sent me a blank 16 GB card.  I didn't realize it was 16 GB until I was "debugging" my booting issues with MiniTool Partition wizard and saw it was 16 not 8.]

Set up Equipment:
IBM Thinkcentre - Win7, Intel i5 (3.30Ghz), 8 GB RAM
USB 2.0 memory card reader
6 pack Cigar City Jai Alai

What I did:
Went to Wiki and followed the "Freshman" instructions which to paraphrase said:
Download H2testw to test authenticity on microSD - (Passed)
Install Win32 Disk Imager
Download the preferred image file listed below, extract and burn to micoSD card via Win32.
Once burnt, I plugged in card and fired up the Pine 64.  It only splashed the Pine 64 logo and power cycled over and over.

After hours of research and multiple cycles of re-partitioning the card and trying to re-burn the image I stumbled upon another set of set up instructions pointing me to the main Wiki page > 10. Software/Image Download > Software/Image Download > Remix OS Image Release.
At this point I did not realize I had a 16 GB card and picked the 8 GB image file.  (Not sure if I picked it 'cause it was the first one or because I had what I thought was an 8 GB card).  Either way, I kept burning the 8 GB img file to a 16 GB card and trying to boot with no luck.
After several days and hours of research and failed boot attempts, I somehow found my way to using PhoenixCard to burn the image but did not realize there was a dedicated, specific img for PhoenixCard.  Trying to burn the 16 GB DD via PhoenixCard kept giving an error - "Script NOT found! Please use a new version image!".  It took awhile but eventually realized there was a specific img for Phoenix listed below all the DD img's for Win32.


So, finally seeing the light, I burnt the Phoenix img via Phoenix and attempted to boot.  Nope!  Same outcome as before.
After reading forum comments, I removed the wireless keyboard usb dongle, removed the wifi/BT POT and event the HDMI ...but still no boot.  While researching I read a lot of input about how important the I/O of the microSD card being used is, especially for Andriod.   So as a last ditch effort, I wrangled up a 32 GB SanDisk (used in my 4k DJI OSMO) I had around, tested it via H2testw and uploaded the img file to it via PhoenixCard.  Plugged it in...and bam! it boot right up.

People! - Ditch the SD card supplied by Pine!

Hours and I mean HOURS of headaches because the SD card supplied with Pine 64 Kickstarter package is worthless.
I have already Amazon ordered a Samsung 16 GB EVO SDHC card Link for $6.99.

I do have 1 post-boot problem though.  The outer corners of the desktop are beyond the view of the monitor.  Meaning I can barley see the bottom task bar or the minimize/close window icons in the upper right part of the screen.  In Settings / Screen Resolution, there is NO option to resize the screen or change the resolution.  Any ideas??!

Thanks, Fitz

At some point of time there were ideas to build a compute module with this. Is it still in the works ?



What is the time frame ?
