I find KDE plasma quite slow. I've tried XFCE and got a much smoother experience. Unfortunately it requires a lot of work to get a comfy environment.

It's my first experience on KDE and I have not found similar posts on the forum (sorry if it does). So here is a thread to share tips how to improve the KDE plasma experience, what service can be disabled / removed ?

Shall I disable accessibility, kde connect and so on ? (how ?)

the keyboard used to work, then suddenly for no reason (no updates, configuration changes, or physical damage) the altg, alt, and fn keys stopped working, namely, nothing happens when they are combined with regular keys. I tried setxkbmap -option lv3:ralt_switch and 'https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/3438 ', also disabled the kernel module, but nothing helped. If you hold down altg, alt, fn and 2/3/5, then 235 is entered, which means that the keys give a signal. I tried on the latest versions of arch/pmos linux sxmo/phosh

Hi everybody!
Can I ask you something
Is the brave heart fully functional?
Does the pine64 installer utility provide the operating system for the brave heart version including Android vanilla images?
Thanks !

I have been using Libretranslate for a while as a webapp on my Pinephone Pro running Mobian Trixie, the free service seems to have been discontinued but I need translation as an everyday driver phone tool.
I found Vivaldi browser has an allegedly privacy oriented translation service included as a tool in the browser so I went to the website to see if it was compatible with the PP.  https://vivaldi.com/download/
The answer is yes they have an arm and arm64 version (deb and rpm) available for DL(mobian take the arm64 deb) which installs and runs on the PP, the UI is a bit smashed but everything has worked for me so far, as long as you are OK with using rotation a bit.
Is it really so private?  IDK there is this reddit discussion thread https://redlib.perennialte.ch/r/browsers..._security/
I have only done a small bit of testing the translation tool and tweaking of settings.  This Chromium based browser company is based in Europe, is supposedly a pro privacy employee owned company which only keeps back the add-on components from being all FOSS, built in translation, ad-blocker, other interesting vivaldi social media and messaging attempts, browser sync; it seems to work for the most part so you can also test out Vivaldi if you like.

FYI I went through and quickly disabled the main google attached search and call-home settings that I am familiar with, there may be more, but you can set dudkduckgo as a search engine and I think the ublock origin can be side loaded as well as the unofficial non-google chrome webstore app.

Hello all,

I want to use my PinePhone Pro as a rover in a RTKLIB setup. Todo so, I have some questions:

1. Is it correct, that the Pinephone Pro GPS sensor can provide GPS raw data?
2. If yes, what is the format? In RTKLIB I can select rtcm2, rtcm3, oem4, oem3, ubx, ss2, hemis, skytraq, gw10, javad, sp3
3. On mobian the device should be ttyUSB1, correct? I have configured it with baudrate 115200. There are 2 additional options in RTKLIB inpstr-path config: 8:n:1:off Does anyone know, what does that mean and if it is correct for the PinePhone Pro?

By the way: What GPS chip is used in the phone?

Friends

I have my Pinetime unboxed, and charged

I have Gadget Bridge from fdroid.  I think it is bridged.  

What now?

Is there any comprehensive documentation anywhere?

For example:  How do I find out how to set the time?

cheers
Worik

I've been working on porting FreeBSD to the PinePhone Pro and happy to
report that I am releasing a developer build that you can try out:                                                   
                                                                     
https://codeberg.org/Honeyguide/freebsd-...o#releases         
                                                                     
Please test and report back! Any feedback would be helpful.                                                     
                                                                     
If you are a FreeBSD developer, the image contains the kernel source, 
build tools, vim, and an example driver that you can use to start     
implementing or porting drivers directly on-device.

Hi.

I'm confused about this board. Some website said it has HDMI but I can't seem to verify that.

Is there HDMI?

Thanks!

I've recently got my PinePhone with the keyboard case.

Everything was going well at first, but I’m now noticing that some keys don’t register consistently, especially the spacebar and a few on the top row. Sometimes I have to press harder than usual.

I'm running postmarketOS and haven’t done much customization beyond updates.

Is this a known issue with the keyboard hardware, or should I be looking into software configs or firmware?

Has anyone successfully upgraded the PineBook Pro’s SSD? Any recommended brands/models?
