I have been daily driving a PinePhone with Arch Linux and Phosh for over a year now. I wanted to make a post with my tweaks.

Device: PinePhone 32Gig
OS: Arch Linux Arm with Phosh
Phosh version 0.22 (EDIT: 0.22-0.23)

After updating a Rock64 Ver. 2 board running Manjaro/Plasma, and running update, and then the obligatory reboot, the HDMI output was/is broken. The original system is as follows:


Operating System: Manjaro-ARM
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
Kernel Version: 5.17.1-4-MANJARO-ARM (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 4 × ARM Cortex-A53
Memory: 3.9 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mali450

I've downloaded the version labeled "Manjaro-ARM-gnome-rock64-22.06.img" and it creates the same issue. When I return to the older version HDMI is fine again. Then the system notifies that updates are required and the cycle begins again
Anyone know of a solution?


As an update I've imaged the Armbian OS and booted from the SD fine. Then manually updated the system. Again it booted up fine. The only problem so far is the HDMI output flickering. It increases when system activity increases. For example; rolling the mouse over desktop icons will cause the screen to flicker. If the system sits idle the video stabilizes but if ANY activity is introduced, the flicker begins again. This makes it difficult to do anything with it. So in essence neither of these OS's are usable as indicated.

My PBP crashed during an upgrade and now the desktop/GUI won't load. I get an error message that says the current theme cannot be loaded and that the error is file:///use/share/sddm/themes/breath/Main.qml:26:1:module "org.kde.plasma.core" is not installed.

I went into a tty and did pacman -S to a lot of kde stuff (plasma-framework, then others when there was no change on reboot).

How do I either revert or replace what is bad to get my desktop back?

The most recent Mobian update reinstalled firefox-esr-mobile-config overwriting my chosen settings for Firefox in the process. I have now removed the mobile config package.

How do I stop this package from ever reinstalling itself again?

Thanks in advance.

I think the title says it all. I tried to upgrade from the CLI, and when I tried to reboot, the phone won't. Furthermore: I tried connecting to my computer, then turning on the phone with the volume up button help down. The LED turns blue, indicating it's in mass storage mode, but the computer doesn't see it.

Also, I flashed the most recent installer, and pre-built image, to SD cards, but them in the phone, and neither are seen by the phone.

Hi guys,

I have a PineTime and want to set up more than one Alarm. I need a daily alarm to wake up but I need another one at the evening as a remeinder. Is there an option to set multiple alarms, maybe I am just blind and do not see in the menu?

If not I would try to change the menu to make more alarms possible and maybe also a "snooze" function for the alarm? I was looking at the development page and it looks quite complicated but I will try to read more about it.
In general it is a bautiful watch that covers everything I need, and it is light an tiny compared to my G-Shok with vibration Alarm

Greetings

I just tried to make a purchase and the site didn't have the usual $12 shipping to EU option for Poland, but if I switch to Germany it is there. If I switch to Czech Republic there is no shipping option at all.

All 3 countries are in EU and are bordering each other. Cost to ship from China to Poland/Germany is pretty much the same

So what happened there? Is this a mistake that will be corrected?

I went out of my way recommending pine64 sbc boards to my various developer friends and now it seems there is viable shipping option from pine64 store to Poland anymore for cheap items. It is really disappointing.

Hello I was wondering if there are any e-ink screens you could swap the Pinephone screen with, to make a Pinenote + Pinephone = "PinenotePhone"?

For example, would this screen work, or something smaller of this kind: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/6inch_HD_e-Paper_HAT

What kind of connection does the monitor take so I could look up screens by name of connection it would plug in to, or does anyone have a suggested alternative that might work?

Hello,

this shall be the thread for my new pet project, which is somewhat vanilla Debian live images for the (SO)Quartz devices.

• Releases Page
  
• Instructions (Please read these or you will make me sad)
  

• Quartz64 Model A
  
• Quartz64 Model B
  
• SOQuartz in CM4 IO Board
  
• SOQuartz in Model A Board
  
• SOQuartz in Blade Board
  

I'm new to pine64 I recently purchased a pine phone pro and have mobian on internal flash storage and Kali Nethunter Pro on an SD card.  Everything seems to be working fine minus a few tools but I know there are likely a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out software wise. The one thing I'm kinda bummed about is I can't seem to get monitor mode and packet injection working on my internal wireless card I've read that they're working on the original pine phone but I can't seem to find any info on the subject for the pro model. Also I can't get any external wireless  adapters to work either it shows that they are being read in the kernel via dmesg and lsusb but they don't show up as devices when I use iwconfig so I'm kinda confused as to why they aren't working. Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something? My external wireless adapter is Ralink rt2870/rt3070. If anyone more experienced with these devices could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated thank you! Happy new year!
