Hello, I was reading that article about firmware change and easy upgrades, has anyone tried it? Please share the experience.


  KaiOS / WhatsApp
Posted by: ChromiumOS - 01-06-2022, 11:37 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (2)

Hi everyone I'm looking for a way to mainstream Linux phones for myself (I need WhatsApp) and for other people that also need WhatsApp I thought for a bit and came to the conclusion that the KaiOS version of WhatsApp is the only Version which is possible to import to Linux without changing any code by making a shell around the app that communicates with Linux (more of a container really)
Can you tell me if this is possible and if so can you please help me find the WhatsApp app files for KaiOS because it's impossible to find.


Thumbs Up Airgapped Pinephone already reaches standby time of 6-8 days
Posted by: kuleszdl - 01-06-2022, 05:50 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (6)

Hi,

I did a "quick" experiment to find out how long the Pinephone can stay on with all radios disabled (4G, wifi, bluetooth). It seems that this is at around 6-8 days now. I tested this on postmarketOS 21.12 on a braveheart device upgraded to the v1.2 mainboard. See also this issue:

https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/1365  

I think about retrying the same experiment but with the device being connected to the mobile network this time.


  Looking for SW Simulation of PinePhone.
Posted by: iwm - 01-06-2022, 03:33 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (2)

While working on Blackberry Z30  a SW Simulation was available. 

Just wondering if such a thing exist for the PinePhone.  Haven't  seen anything resembling it.


  Factory AOSP image but for your SD card!
Posted by: Danct12 - 01-06-2022, 01:57 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (14)

This is the stock AOSP image from my PinePhone Pro, I took it (dumped it as soon I got the device) and make it work on SD card. This will be useful for anyone looking to test their hardware but didn't have a chance to, or maybe just for playing around.

The bootloader must not be present on the eMMC, otherwise the image won't boot. I've tested "recovery mode" and factory reset, they work perfectly fine too. However, reboot is broken as the phone just hangs.

You can download the image here: https://danctnix.arikawa-hi.me/misc/pine..._sd.img.xz

Alternatively, the eMMC dump (~117GB unxz'd) is available here: https://danctnix.arikawa-hi.me/misc/pine...mmc.img.xz


  Error running docker on Pinephone with Manjaro (cgroup)
Posted by: bchasnov - 01-06-2022, 12:19 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - No Replies

Hello,


I am running into an error when launching docker on Manjaro. I read on some other forums that it might be an issue with cgroup v2. Not sure how to fix this on the Pinephone.

  SD nonfunctional, how is support supposed to work?
Posted by: slomobile - 01-06-2022, 08:06 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (6)

My pinephone 3G beta convergence edition cannot access its SD card slot.  I've opened support ticket 11995 "Cannot access SD card" which was immediately closed as a duplicate of a completely different issue 11978 "Pinephone CE fails pin unlock on battery".

My first question is on etiquette.  Are we supposed to open new tickets for new issues?

Are both of these issues in fact related to production QC?  This phone shipped with a very frustrating, known, old software bug with a solution on the forum.  Incorrect timing settings in a configuration file.  Was this a one off, or systemic?   Coupled with https://forum.pine64.org/announcements.php?aid=42 I must question how phones are escaping into the wild with these easily avoided defects.

My phone also does not have a functioning SD interface which makes me wonder how they load software at the factory and test SD function.  Can anyone suggest a procedure to load OS without SD card?  https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/NOOB#Flashi...es_Only.29 does not show a procedure for Pinephone.  The only suggestion from support has been

Quote:Please flash the Beta Edition factory test OS build to microSd card and check whether able to boot up properly.

Here is the link: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_S..._OS_builds
Which I reported failed with the SD factory image 11 days ago.  They have not responded.

I had a shopping cart full of keyboard case, pogo pins, pogo cases, and a mainboard to fix it myself and move on.  I want pine64 to succeed.  But before clicking checkout, I had to wonder if they can succeed while failing basic QC and customer support.

Are there any other steps I am supposed to take here?  I would actually be satisfied if they would just give me the next troubleshooting step to follow.

Better would be some indication that they are looking into the root cause that allowed my phone to ship in that state.


  Portfolio not activating on either phone (PPBeta, PPPro)

This one is priority.  I can access file system via the terminal, but not even close to as fast as with the graphical app. (a bit of whining -  sorry).

Would be nice to activate the graphical app via the terminal.


  Power consumption?
Posted by: kuleszdl - 01-05-2022, 06:08 PM - Forum: Linux on Quartz64 - Replies (3)

Hi,

I wonder if anyone who has successfully booted some OS on their Quartz64 attempted to do some power consumption measures. Measures in idle and under full load would be very welcome!


  This Qutebrowser config file made browsing on the PinePhone great again
Posted by: ryo - 01-05-2022, 05:49 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

A good friend of mine has put together a Qutebrowser config file which pretty much mixes anonymity, privacy, and performance into 1 thing.
I tried this on my PinePhone and I was blown away by how fast and light the browser suddenly felt.
The creator of this config file doesn't speak any English, so I'll just provide some free shilling.

The file: https://git.076.ne.jp/TechnicalSuwako/do.../config.py

In a nutshell:
1. Blocks all hostnames owned by Google, Fakebook, and Twitter. One line that's commented out blocks all of them + CloudFlare, but since blocking CloudFlare breaks 90% of the entire internet, he decided not to block it by default.
2. Makes browser fingerprint as generic as possible.
3. Blocks ads very hardcore (uses Brave's block list alongside a couple of custom ones, the trade off is that the browser takes much longer to boot though, also requires "adblock" from pip to function).
4. Disables Javascript by default (though allows some exceptions with examples so you can add whatever exception you want).
5. Goes over the Tor network by default (therefore you need to install the "tor" package via apt-get).
6. Remaps the open in new tab, back, and forward bindings to make it usable with Squeekboard.
7. DuckDuckGo as default search engine (though option exists to enable Yacy instead).
8. Bindings to enable/disable Javascript and Tor routing at any time.
9. Bindings to download media using wget (you need to adjust the path by yourself though), download YouTube videos using yt-dlp (so yt-dlp is required) or open them in VLC.
10. Bindings to open in private window.
11. Always uses "low end device mode", so it uses far less RAM.
12. Saves all the tabs you have open automatically when you close the browser.
13. Bindings to copy image URL.
14. Uses KDE Breeze's color scheme for the UI (which you can hide using keybindings).
