Let's say someone had a boot file on their MicroSD card, but they wanted the Pinephone to ignore it and to boot from the internal eMMC, while the MicroSD card is inserted. Is there any way to do this, to hide the file somehow?

Because what if also you don't have a file like that on MicroSD, but loaded some files, and the Pinephone won't boot because it seems to be detecting some file as a boot file, but does boot when you take out the MicroSD?

Is there any way to force the device to ignore the MIcroSD card on boot, or has anyone had any issues of the MicroSD card preventing the device from booting on startup and how did you get it to ignore files it might detect and try to boot from?

So far, I'm finding Manjaro Plasma completely unusable. The first, most obvious problem is the longer the phone's been running, the longer it takes to wake up. If I put the battery in at breakfast, it's minutes to wake by lunch. I'm looking around at the other options to try this weekend. I tried to stick it out with Manjaro because it was picked as default for the Explorer edition.


Edit: just to be clear, this is for the Pinephone Pro, not a general statement on the state of the OS, and yes, I know it's still early days.

Hey guys. Just found out that the following command:

xkbset bouncekeys 20

Will fix  the duplicated keypress glitch that's been bothering me for so long. Question:

1, was this bothering you?
2, did this fix it?
3, is this the first time you've seen this?

I didn't know about this and it took me a long time to figure out this fix. If no-one else knew, I just think we should let everyone know. If it's not news, I'll shut up.

How do we delete telephone contacts in mobian? I even do not remember how I put them. I do not find any icon like the phonebook of pro

Running Manjaro (new install this week, manjaro build for rockpro64, v21.12).  I do *not* have the wifi/bt card installed



I'm attempting to triage a different failure, but bluetooth messages are all over dmesg.  Since i don't plan on using BT at all, i'd just like to prevent whoever is writing that from loading:

1. some HW present, which at kernel boot would be probed, and udev would later load the module based on HW id's (again, no HW connected AFAIK)
   
2. have an explicit load in /etc/modules-load.d (I have zero files there)
   
3. be an explicit kernel param in grub (nothing in /proc/cmdline)
   

I would like to know if anyone is running PPP from eMMC system memory (not an SD) without major issues.  I think that is a necessary step to be a "daily driver".

What OS/desktop are you using?
How did you install to the system memory; not an SD card?
Any quirky performance issues that you see frequently?

thanks,  I am so looking to move the PPP to my main cell phone.  I want to toss my samsung android asap.

Hello,

I just recently switched from arch to pmos. So far I like it a lot, esp. convergence.
I also just recently received my pinephone keyboard and use it all the time now.

For that reason I would like to have these 2 settings permanently (I change them in the phosh settings app):
1) accessibility -> disable virtual keyboard (I do not need it anymore and it takes up a lot of screen space)
2) display -> set scale from 200% to 150% (makes many apps a lot more useable in landscape mode)

Sadly, whenever I shutdown (in the evening) + start-up the phone (in the morning), these 2 settings are back to their default.

Is there a workaround for this? I am willing to write a script or whatever, this is super annoying to me.

I flashed Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-21.12 to eMMC from a SD boot as described at https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/NOOB#Flashi..._a_SD_Boot.

After rebooting, my Pinebook Pro got stuck at the Manjaro logo with the spinning circle.

When I press the Esc key, I see the following message, but the shell does not recognize any keystrokes:

Hi,

I  have a question, what is now the most secure option for using PinePhone?

I am using now days a Google Pixel with Graphene OS and Calyx OS, but I want to look now for other options.

What I also doubt about is the full disk encryption, which distro has the best security and encryption?

But is the file encryption from Android not better than a full disk encryption? .. I hope some can help to give a good answer to those questions

Pinephone Keyboard doesnt work unless I push to backcover or display in place where pogo pins are. Do you have annyone same experience? How did you fix it? I am sure that phone is fully in case, I trided multiple times to put out and in, no difference
