This is running on a Pro but it should run just fine for Pinephone. Spent most of my weekend working on this, the dot files are in the comments of the post.

This is running on Arch on my Pro. I basically whipped it up over the weekend. The dot files are in the comments there.

I was using Manjaro Phosh on a regular Pinephone until I recently received my Pinephone Pro. I decided to install Manjaro Phosh on the PPP, but am disappointed with the lack of battery life. Does Plasma perform better in this regard? Can anyone with experience with both share their observations about the pro's and con's of these two OS? Thanks in advance.

I have two 3Gig Pinephones.
Incidentally I had to replace the screen on the second one as soon as I got it!
This might be a bit unusual, but I want to use it as a mobile phone, rather than editing videos etc.!
I installed Arch, because it is lightweight, and only has what you need, rather than the kitchen sink. Also surely I should be able to go in and get things to work.
OK, so how do I get it to produce a noise I can hear when I get an incoming call or SMS?
There is a path to the ringtones:
/usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo
Lots of .oga files there, but they must all be recordings of silence!
I assume there is some way of waking them up, but what is it?
I have DanctNIX Tweaks installed. Nice GUI. It would be even nicer if it did something!
Please help me get these phones to make noises so that I know when I have a call, or SMS.
I do not require a full orchestra, just something loudly audible to attract my attention.

Hi all,

I have a PPP that doesn't seem to have the HDMI out functioning reliably. The secondary display "appears" for a split second then disappears, and this keeps repeating. (See gif below) The odd thing is that I was able to get it connected successfully on the first try, but afterwards nearly all attempts have led to this behaviour.

For reference here's a gif of the setting screen:

I'm running a new install of the latest mobian with phosh, although I get the same issue with arch (and with GNOME and other DE). Also this isn't a adapter/cable/monitor issue as I can get this configuration working with my laptop.

I've been looking for ways to optimize my experience with my PPP, and I was wondering if TLP offered any real benefits at this time. I was looking at the documentation, and it doesn't seem to have any code for optimizing ARM CPU clock speeds. But does anyone know if anything else it does might help? If so, does anybody have any tips on configuring it for the phone to get more battery life?

TLP - ArchWiki (archlinux.org)

Hopefully the right place to post soquartz threads:

The Problem
Upon bootup, it does a dhcp and grabs an IP address.  Otherwise, no evidence of a pulse [no HDMI output, seemingly no console via serial output].  Is there a way to ssh in?  If so, what are the credentials?  rock64\rock64 and many other obvious combinations fail.

The Setup
I have a soquartz module on a rpi4 module IO carrier board (https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/cm4io...asheet.pdf) from a SD card, image 'rk3566-soquartz-cm4.dtb.img'.

Open to other ideas on how to get to console.  Thanks for any suggestions.

I set the scaling to 1200%.(I made a mistake!)
And when I set the scaling to 200%, the navigation bar is smaller than before and there is a blank space on the right side.
Which setting can fix this?
   

Good condition ISO layout Pinebook Pro with nvme adapter and suitable low power 256 GB SSD (+ serial cable for the microphone jack).
SPI was flashed once and currently boots OpenBSD directly from nvme. 

I do not have enough time to tinker with it. If you do, it is all yours for 130 EUR + shipping.

My other hobby is drinking coffee. If you have some kind of lever espresso machine to spare we could perhaps arrange a trade instead?

I recently updated Manjaro Plasma and now I have an unbootable phone that just vibrates loudly.

PPP sounding like hair clippers.

Don't know if it's a lost cause or not. Any ideas?
