To adapt the pinephone keyboard, I will need to use the equivalent of xev for wayland ie wev, or the version available on AUR is not suitable for arm64. Is it difficult to adapt the pkgbuild to compile compatible with aarch64?

Anyone else have a KB that seems to be connected properly (input received, charge passed to "main" battery, "kb151" detected in power submenu of gnome-setting) but that insists on reporting it is always at 0% charge, even when there is no external power connected and the main battery continues to charge up (presumably off the not-0% KB battery)?

on Arch/Phosh

Hi everybody. It's been a while but i now have reactivated my PP. Sadly, somewhere along the way, i seem to have lost the internal earpiece. Not in the "oh, there must be some misconfiguration"-way. The piece itself is gone missing. I already bought a new screen but that doesn't include the internal earpeace. Does anyone happen to know which spare part i should grab? It doesn't seem to be available from the store. Thanks in advance.

Keystrokes on my keyboard case are registered on my PPP in Manjaro BUT keystrokes are not registered on the official PPP build of Mobian (January 16 daily).

Since Mobian is listed as one of the OS's that should support typing on the keyboard case, I assume it should work.

I've ...

1.  Updated, upgraded, dist-upgraded, and re-flash the SD card

2.  I've re-seated the keyboard

3.  I've POGO-shimmed the keyboard


Yet no matter what, Mobian doesn't seem to hear my keystrokes from the keyboard, while (notably) Manajaro does.

Any suggestions?

TIA!

My keyboard doesn't seem to be able to charge my phone.

Here are some data points:

1.  I've pressed the button - quickly, held it for 20 seconds to shut it down, pressed quickly again, and various other combinations. 

2.  I see the charging bolt in the battery icon in the GUI (in both Manjaro and Mobian).

3.  The Power panel in the OS Settings indicates that the second battery is there (but at 0%).

4.  The phone discharges its battery at the same rate with or without the keyboard attached.

5.  I tried the shim trick.

6.  I've tried several properly-rated chargers directly in the keyboard USB-C port.

7.  I've not made the mistake of plugging a charger into the phone whilst it is seated in the keyboard case.


It would appear that the root problem is that the keyboard simply won't charge.  It seems to be present electronically and recognized by the OS, but just empty - despite my having 'charged' it.

Any suggestions?

hi, I'm new here and more and more happy with my pinephone, just awaitng the keyboard next days.
I'm using the phone as my daily driver and even the camera is somehow charming.......having its own character.....
I' m a DJ( ....exp. rock, noiserock......) and have the pinephone used for DJing, which is running quite o.k., due to Lollypop and the docking- board.
Now I'm wondering if it is possible to connect an external soundcard to the pinephone?
Which one you would recommend.......a real good one?
Thank you!

I wrote a low-power-off BASH script for the Pinephone and Pinephone Pro to help prevent over-discharge by forcing a power-off below a certain capacity.

It loops through all power sources the kernel is aware of and enforces a minimum capacity rule that powers off the system if a battery is below a certain threshold (default: 5%) and not charging.

It just needs something to run it every minute. I've included a Systemd setup guide but OpenRC (PostmarketOS), chron, ect will work just as well.

By turning BT off, when not in use, how much battery life would I save?  I realize this is OS dependant.

Hi,

we have a couple rockpro64 in service for computer vision tasks. However we use USB connected cameras, since back then there was no support for the MIPI interface. Usually we run Dietpi and achieve uptimes without hickups of over 100 days. The boards are passively cooled with a custom made thermoblock and heatpipes to the casing - very stable operation.

For our new project we want to move the imx214 sensors over the MIPI-CSI interface. Here is where the trouble starts:

The only image with working camera suuport is the old android build based on 4.19 (or so). Since kernel 5.11 the rockisp is out of staging and moved into mainline support. Also IMX214 (the one from the store) has support from the mainline kernel.

However, no video device is showing up - we tried different device trees from the rock64 repos on github all leading to no video devices.
We also tried manjaro arm, dietpi bullseye, dietpi buster and also manully updating the kernel.

Did someone get it to work, there are very little resource out there ...
