Hello all,

I wanna buy a PinePhone in order to flash an image modified by me based on Android 12 AOSP.

Is it possible that it can be done?

i tried on a Pixel 6 and it was totally bricked.

Any comments or suggestions it would be appreciated..

Thanks!

Are there any guidelines as to when you'd need to get the 5a PSU versus the 3a one?

I've been searching and searching and I'm finding various info about people saying h264 hardware encoding is implemented. I even found some github code for hantro h1 encoder which supposedly rk3566 has, but there is no straightforward confirmation whether this works or not.

I really don't care about the OS. I would prefer Linux, but android is fine too. Can someone please confirm or deny h264 encoding works on this hw? If no OS driver exists then is there a closed source driver?

Since I have upgraded to Bookworm(borked my system playing with BT, iptables, etc.; wiped, reloaded) I have not had working satellite navigation.  I after following the steps in the Mobian wiki I can use cellphone tower location and internet provide geolocation but those both put me between 5 and 30km away, not usable.

Does anyone have satellite navigation working on Bookworm?

If you do how did you achieve this? 

Did you follow the wiki or another guide?

Hello,

I'd love to tinker with a Pinebook (yes, non-pro version), but unfortunately they are out of stock and probably will be for an extended period (?). Shop also says "Reserved for “Reduce Digital Gap campaign" - I guess this means that even *if* they  were in stock, you will never be able to buy them again?

Because of this, if anyone reading this has a spare, mostly working Pinebook lying around, please get in touch :-) I am located in Germany, but shipping should be doable from anywhere in the world.

Thanks!

In order to troubleshoot a "no light on power on" problem, (which does not seem unique to me, judging by several threads), I had to open up the base of the machine.
This turned out to have several sections that were razor sharp, one of which sliced open a fingertip. The blood sacrifice unfortunately was not rewarded with success.
Future production might benefit from a modest deburring and sanding of the board's edges.

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone been able to get a VPN working on Manjaro Plasma? I know Phosh comes with the functionality and I have been using it for that, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it in Plasma yet.

Has anyone been able to get it working?

Looking forward to hearing about it

Regards

Hello all,

I am looking for a quick synopsis on what has changed in mobian. Is it ready for a daily driver? Should we resume QA testing what we consider core features?

What is still missing? What seems to work alright?

Does megapixel still take grainy pictures?

Myself and my QA partner might pick up testing distros against each other again.

Thanks for the replies.

Can we use Zig to build an LVGL Touchscreen App for PineDio Stack BL604? Let's find out!

During a Mobian installation test, I mistakenly formatted the EMMC with gparted.
Now with jumpdrive the emmc no longer appears.
With tow-boot, communication with my PC no longer works (the light turns blue when I press the level up button, but then the light flashes and the pinephone turns off.

On the other hand, if I flash a mobian image on the sd-card, I can still boot on it… but no more emmc :/

In a terminal, I ran the lsblk command and I get this:
