Hello all,

It's possible install Android in PP 64 with a custom ROM?

BR

i installed tow-boot  on pinephone beta edition but  it dosn't work

 so i found this

 

Quote:Q: I’ve installed Tow-Boot on my original PinePhone but it’s not working as described. A: The original PinePhone will always boot any u-boot on the SD card first. If you have an older Mobian image or another OS image on the SD card this may happen. Removing the SD card or wiping u-boot off it should cause Tow-Boot to work.

If I run GmusicBrowser and VLC at the same time, on my PinePhone, VLC will take priority on my lock screen, and when I pull down the drawer with the wifi and bluetooth settings. It used to be that VLC took over the lock screen, and GMB took over the drawer.

I know this is kind of a petty request, but sometimes I switch between my music, which is in GMB, and my podcasts, which are on VLC, and I would like to be able to choose which app's controls show up on the lock screen or drawer. Is there any way to give one priority over the other?

Hi everyone,

seeking for help if this "project" is possible at all.

I want to install classic "Prince of Persia" from the snapstore. But no matter if I try online or offline after downloading the snap I get the same output:

Maybe you are like me and want to use the Pinephone Keyboard also to charge other devices as a simple Powerbank,
with following steps you can add an USB-A socket and use it as such a device (and you get the option to still use your usb-C phone port when keyboard is attached):

Schematic view of what we are going to do:



1.) Open the keyboard



2.) Remove the controller board:



3.) Cut the wires on J2. its better to cut two of them longer and two of them shorter, so you have a visual feedback of the polarity:



4.) Drill a hole in the outer cage which fits the diameter of your USB-A connector (just cut an usb extension cable to get a plug...):



5.) Insert the cable through the hole,
     solder + and - to the cutted cables,
     apply a shrink hose to isolate it, add a cable tie as a pull protection, but everything together and you are good to go:






Your powerbank is finished and you even see the status of your powerbank on the phone:

anyone succeeded in installing Kalendar and connecting it wth their Nextcloud? I am able to install and I can setup DAV and it even shows my calendars but then Kalendar freezes. What could that be?
I think it freezes even without having setup DAV.

The Date & Time-setting app in the Gnome settings actually changes the date/time each time a widget is changed.  This can result in dozens of date/time changes whipsawing between past & future and creating absolute chaos with scheduled tasks.  The most recent case of this resulted in the loss of some important log info, perhaps because logrotate was so thoroughly confused.

This app should generate one date/time change and only after the user says "okay, that's it".

Hi everyone,

 Selling my PPP Explorer Edition. It's in excellent shape with Towboot installed. Everything is included (battery, sim adapter, USB-A to C cord). I haven't applied the screen protector. Reason for sale: I prefer a smaller formfactor phone. You can find the item for sale here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/125418884901

is it possible to switch form stable to dev and back in manjaro plamo? Currently stable does not seem to get my nextcloud account working and maybe dev does. But I am not wanting dev on my phone forever. In Ubuntu we can choose which source to use.

Hello,

I have a pinephone, and I noticed it gets warm. Maybe future pinephones could have heatpipes/vapor chamber or something. That's what I did to my Pinebook pro. I opened it and put a heatpipe in there, with thermal paste.
