Hi, I've bought PinePhone (not PinePhone Pro) and needless to say, without the case (a silicone back case or some other)  the phone in a bag gets various scratches from things inside.
I have seen a similar post, but it's quote oldish. I hope there is something new. Is there anything specially designed for PinePhone? Perhaps you have several back cases and don't need one, I could buy it from you. 
Other phones' cases can sometimes fit, but they sometimes cover a camera, or a headphones' hole, or the volume buttons don't fit the design.
Hopefully, there are some options apart from sewing something 

I'm running Debian 11 (currently and temporarily Armium) and I need MRAA.  Unfortunately, I can't find Rock64 support in MRAA anywhere.

Someone else must be using MRAA on Rock64, can someone tell me how to get it?

If necessary, I can fork debian/mraa and add rock64 support, but to do that, I'd need all the relevant information. 

Worst case I hope would be copying a supported product.

Best case would be finding a deb repository.

I have a Rock64-2GB (V3.0).  Following these instructions (https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/ROCK64_Soft...ses#Debian), I downloaded and burned a Debian 11 (Bullseye) installer to a microSd.

I don't have eMMC, so I installed a blank microSD into a USB3 adapter, and with the installer in the microSD slot and the target in the USB3 slot, I ran the installer, selecting sda as the target.

It took a while, but when it finished and started to reboot, I powered off, removed the installer, and put the newly installed microSD in the microSD slot.

It didn't boot.  I even tried using an HDMI head, but to no avail.

To temporarily continue with my work, I am running Armian (Bullseye), but that has it's own issues and I need to get the stock Debian working.

Can anyone offer help or suggestions?

Today my pinephone stopped booting: green led, black screen.



It allready happened to me once, it was after an upgrade that went bad (phone going to sleep before finishing building initrd, me not noticing, something like that), it was quick to resolve by mounting the phone on my laptop via USB, and chrooting in it.



But today it's harder, I tried multiple things with no luck:



- In a chroot ran: dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-5.15-sunxi64

- Configured an older kernel, and tried setting a rescue mode in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf directly, and noticing the comment, by modifying the files in /etc and running u-boot-update too.

- Dropped `splash` and added `console=tty1` in `/etc/u-boot-menu.d/pinephone.conf`, ran `u-boot-update`. (Still black screen at this point).

- Soldered a jack-to-USB using an old "FTDI Friend" round in a drawer so I can take a look at serial output (it works!)



At this point I noticed:



> Moving Image from 0x40080000 to 0x40200000, end=415b0000

>   Loading Ramdisk to 452ba000, end 49fff776 ... OK

> FDT and ATAGS support not compiled in

>

> resetting ...



and after doodling around decided to remember that u-boot was no longer supported in Mobian.



So I installed tow-boot (wow it's nice not having to change the SD card each time I want to switch to mass storage ♥).



But still no luck, here's what I see over serial:

When I bought my PinePhone, it was with the intent of bouncing from OS to OS, filing bug reports and maybe contributing some code when something easy came up. This was my life until about fifteen minutes ago, when, during a roofing project, my daily driver decided it was long for this world, jumped out of my pocket, and smashed into concrete; face-down at just shy of terminal velocity. Funny enough, the podcast that I was listening to is still playing. Regardless, this is going to go away as soon as this episode ends and I will need to switch full-time to my PP (roofing project stole my money). I've found the Gnome Podcasts app, default on most of the Phosh installs, to be lacking in many ways, mostly with discovery and compared to AntennaPod. What would be the best PinePhone OS for daily-driving and a good podcast app for it? So far, I've only come across Gnome Podcasts and G-Podder (which is almost unusable due to scaling issues) and both are a bit disappointing.

I'm not expecting to have a full-blown Fountain or Antennapod experience here, by the way. I understand the early status of many of these apps; I'm just looking for the best of what's available right now.

Hi to all.

Just don't use the graphical program to  install or update the system, it does not work.

For exemple I tried to installl chromium but I got errors of dependensies.

With the command line I was able to install chromium with no problem.

The commands:

Update OS: sudo pacman -sYu

Install a program:

sudo pacman -S chromium   (and it works)

Now I love Manjaro.

Hey guys and girls,

My name is daniel, i'm from israel.

I'm not a technical user, but the idea of free and open source software is deep in my heart and i believe in it
I dream about having an foss phone and from time to time i check on the internet about the progress the different projects are doing in this field...

I'm checking out the pinephone pro and i'm very curios
First of all will it work in Israel? i couldn't find any information about the worldwide compatibility
Second of all, i'm a really minimal phone user
I can use my bank web app, i just need calling and sms and web browsing to work
And whatsapp with anbox
So what do you think, can the pinephone pro work for me?

I will be very happy to hear you opinion
Thanks in ahead!
Daniel/Dani

Hello,

I need help getting the screen brighter using Dietpi, running on debian bullseye.

Hi,
I noticed a problem with making calls when mobile service is 4G. When I tried to make a phone call it ended quickly. When I switched to 3G it worked. On my android phone when I was making calls it automatically switched to 3G every time (only during a call). Is is a carrier thing? Maybe It would be nice to add this automatic switching feature like in android devices.

Could it be possible to access the mobian website without javascript?
