In theory, could i run some pbx server software on the pinephone, considering it already has sim card slot and modem, could be a low cost solution...
Motivation? Have your local simcard calls available worldwide over vpn...

I'll try to document my experience as best as I can to help others.
If a noob like me can do it then so can you.
What are your thoughts on Mobian? Would you recommend something else?
Aside from the latest nightly, what specific version would you recommend?
Is there a particular phone/cell service you would recommend?
How do I get these parts working:
- Font Camera
- Rear Camera
- eSIM-card
- WiFi WPA3
- Encrypted Filesystem
- GPS
- Ironman Suit
Are there any power and battery management optimizations, tips and tricks?
Are they any Bluetooth, WiFi and Cellular tips you'd recommend for stability or problematic situations?

Motivation
Since some years my system (Rockpro64 V2.1 2018-07-02) is not starting properly after a power loss, with increasing occurrence. It seems after some hours of power loss (e.g. over night) it is working more reliable, but when waiting only a few minutes this is not working anymore at all. Only the power button can be used for startup my system reliable.
In the forum there can be find a similar thread with some general information about the schematic and some measurements with a new system. Many thanks to @Nikolay_Po for his investigations on a new board. This was the base for my investigations and I solved it finally. I will describe my work step by step now, so others can repeat it and hopefully fix there system. If someone can give me an advice how to add/upload pictures, I will add my photos, so you can see what I have done.
Repeat the same measurement
"PMIC" is measured on C205 (right side) and "VCC5V0_SYS" is measured on C2006 (left side). Both can be found on top of the circuit board. The measurement results nearly equal the results from "Nikolay_Po" (the colours yellow and blue are interchanged in my measurement). So, perhaps, not the discrete components has changed its behavior but something inside RK808 changes over time. Or, the original values of the discrete components are chosen very close to the borders of the PMIC-system. No matter what it is, we can only change the discrete components - C204 catches my attention first.
Measure around and modify C204
The capacitor C204 can be found on the bottom of the circuit board (SD card slot at bottom left), in the area between C164 and C168, left of the resistor R89 and over the resistor R88. Another description: between the both big capacitor (C164 and C168) there are 4 small components in a flipped L-shape. C204 is the one in the corner of the "L".
The measurement was done with 2 channels, connected left and right of the C204 component. This means one is "VCC5V0_SYS" and the other one is the connection between C204, R89, D5 (soldered on the top side) and R88.
Try to increase the capacitor C204
Because it was working with a brand new board, most likely some aging process has changed the timings a bit. A second capacitor will increase the peak and the time a bit and maybe this can fix the problem. I added two connectors with wires left and right besides C204 and was able to add a second capacitor in parallel with an alligator clip.
1. choose 1uF --> working 100%
2. choose 100nF --> working 100%
Fix by soldering a SMD capacitor on top of C204
I disassembled some small SMD capacitors from a old circuit board and found one with around 150nF. This part I soldered on top of the C204 capacitor and this really fixed the problem for now.

| Power button not being ignored by init |

Hello, my pinepone is booting into pmOS with sxmo on sway, and the power button is acting literally: i.e. immediately it is pressed once, shutdown is initiated.
What I'm expecting to happen is that it will work as bound to Return in sxmo menus, that it will wake from suspend, or turn on the display when off, etc. (as it was doing previously).
I guess that I am missing some config to tell init to ignore the power button. Can someone please let me know e.g. which package would set that up on the pinephone? I reckon I might have accidentally deleted something in the fix of a messed up apk world.

| Screen size issues after update with diederik script |

After updating a fresh PineNote there are now problems with the sizing of the display. The battery percentage is cut off on the right, and the on screen keyboard is partially cut off on the bottom. The application icons in the application view are small and harder to see now than they were before, and there is no text description under them.
The steps I took were the following:
I just got a new PineNote. It was working fine out of the box. I tried running apt upgrade:
Code: sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
and I got the following error message:
Code: ******************************************************************************
*
* The base-files package cannot be installed because
* /lib64 is a symbolic link and not pointing at usr/lib64 exactly.
*
* This is an unexpected situation. Cannot proceed with the upgrade.
*
* For more information please read https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge.
*
******************************************************************************
I tried deleting the symbolic link as suggested here. The upgrade proceeded. During the upgrade, I was asked about updating the /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf config file. I chose to keep the current version. The upgrade finished without error. Over 800 packages were upgraded, and 17 packages were left unupgraded.
When I rebooted, the PineNote got stuck in a loop saying "booting". I was still able to ssh in. I followed the advice in the last post in the link above and ran the suggested script from diederik. (I downloaded the tar.gz labeled v0.0.4.) After running the script over ssh, the boot loop exited to the desktop screen on the PineNote. I rebooted again, and the PineNote booted normally and showed the desktop screen after booting.
However, at this point I noticed the screen size and icon size/label issues which I described above.
I have screenshots, but I'm not sure how to attach them.
