| Keyboard layout |

Hi, I am a proud owner of a recently acquired (used) Pinebook Pro. It's working fine, except that I can't figure out the keyboard layout. I believe this was the initial release, which research suggests means a UK 104 key ISO keyboard layout (?) (It has a 128 GB internal emmc).
I have Manjaro XFCE freshly installed on the internal emmc. I found a couple videos on YouTube, but the "settings" menus they show are not the same as what I find. The enter key on this one is an inverted "L" shape and the slash/pipe key is to the right of the lefthand shift key.
Suggestions?

| Stripping my device down to the bare essentials |

I wasn't able to use my phone as an actual phone, because my service provider will only register it as a hotspot, and not a phone. I don't know why. Anyway, I use this device for very little. Honestly, the main reason I got it was so that I could use gMusicBrowser on my phone, and keep my music synced with my computer.
The functions I think are essential for my 'phone':
- Play my music with gmusicbrowser
- Sync my music with nextcloud
Other, 'nice to have' features:
- A browser, proxied through tor so I can look stuff up and have privacy.
That's literally all I use my device for. I have these features working, but the device is still pretty slow and it runs down the battery, fast. I had set it to only sleep when there isn't music playing, but it never worked so I gave up on that. Now, it just takes 45 minutes before it goes to sleep. Anyway, I go through 2 batteries a day.
Also, it feels like the phone's modem gets hot, even though the modem is physically switched off using the breakers on the board. I've also disabled the camera, and the microphone.
I don't think I can purge the phone software without losing Phosh, so my question is this: what can I do to disable any and all services or programs not related to the very few functions listed above?

| Broken Screen |

I managed to sit on my laptop (didn't see it in the chair) and I heard a faint crackle sound and knew that was the screen breaking.
I opened the laptop to see that the screen isn't completely destroyed, but there's about a 1" by 1" area where the pixels show all white in two lines making a 90 degree intersection.
I emailed sales to ask about purchasing a replacement, but I'm not hopeful given the LCD shortages right now. Does anyone know if it's possible to purchase just the LCD panel, or if there's compatible LCD panels?
The PBP is now my daily-driver and I feel lost with a damaged screen.

| Accessing step counter in Wasp-OS throws ValueError: invalid sensor |
|

Hello,
I'm working on a custom Wasp-OS watch face to include the current step count. I'm using "watch.accel.steps" to get the step count value, which I picked up by looking at the step counter app included with Wasp-OS.
My app works in the simulator, but crashes on the device.
I tried to check the step count in a console on the watch using wasptool, and got this:
Code: >>> watch.accel.steps
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", in <module>
File "drivers/bma421.py", in steps
ValueError: invalid sensor
>>>
Is there another method I should use to get the step count?
I also noticed that Wasp-OS doesn't display its built in step counter app. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. The step counter did work initially when I had InfiniTime installed, so the hardware works (or did, at one point).
Any pointers appreciated!

| [Solved] How to get a kernel newer than 5.10 on Mobian ? |

Q: I only see the kernel linux-image-5.10-sunxi64 in apt. I am running bullseye. How can I get a newer kernel ?
A: At the time of writing, 5.10 is the latest image available in bullseye for the Pinephone. To get a more recent kernel you will have to upgrade to a newer version. For instance after switching to bookworm you can install linux-image-5.13-sunxi64
(Sorry if this is noise. I post this in the hope the search engines will find it: I had to ask the kind folks on the Mobian's Matrix/Telegram channel to figure that).

| Soldering eMMC to SoEdge |

I bought a few of the SoEdge parts and I wanted to get them booted off soldered eMMC. I did order some eMMCs as well but they havnt arrived. I have a bunch of eMMC that match the footprint and probably the pinout. Im pretty good at solder but is there anything I should know before doing this so I dont kill the module.
- checking pinout to make sure it matches
- correctly solder
- seems they use FORSEE eMMC, I dont have those parts but I have something similar.
How about software interfaces? Are they pretty similar across different eMMC parts?
Any help would be great! Ill post my results.

Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
64-bit
GNOME 3.38.5
Wayland
After trying out some things which were hardly reversible I reinstalled mobian about a week ago with an image from images.mobian-project.org. Since installing, I did not get a single update although the image seems to be from may 2021.
I tried it using the software app, that always throws an error: Failed to update metadata for lvfs. After running
Code: fwupdmgr --force refresh
in the terminal, the error isn't thrown any more and the software app tells me that everything is up to date.
I tried in the terminal running
which also tells me that everything is up to date.
gives me 0 updated, 0 new installed, 0 to remove and 0 not updated.
Why I doubt that is is correct is because before the reinstallation it felt like receiving updates regularly.
Does anybody have a clue if I might be right? Thank you!
