Quote:OpenGL ES 3.1 most notably adds compute shaders, indirect draw commands, and other additions. Meanwhile OpenGL ES 3.2 is the latest upstream spec for this mobile-focused graphics API. Arm's Midgard 2nd Gen taps out at OpenGL ES 3.1 while Midgard 3rd/4th Gen and Bifrost are ultimately capable of OpenGL ES 3.2 once this open-source driver support has been wired up.

Just what it says. Manjaro Phosh Beta 10 is excellent. Approaching daily driver levels. I've been messing with it all day (instead of doing my work). The only times that I've had any problems is when I got over-enthusiastic with "customization" and broke it a few times. Totally not the system's fault, and besides, it's fun going in with JumpDrive and fixing it. Always boots right up and is super stable as well. It's come a long way since I got my PinePhone back in January. 

My biggest complaint is that the selection of browsers leaves a lot to be desired. 

Firefox is very full-featured and works well, but it's a battery hog. Not viable for full-time use. It would be nice to have a fully functional lightweight browser for light browsing and only have to use Firefox for heavy duty stuff. 

Today, I tried the following:

Gnome browser (slow as ****, can't open links in new tab, dealbreaker)
Otter browser (same, UI is bad)
Falkon (Fast, works, but UI is awful)
Midori (Oh, so slow.)
Qutebrowser (Keyboard oriented, so forget that)
Luakit (wouldn't even start)
Probably a couple of others too that I don't remember.

Anywho, remembered from my time with Plasma using the Angelfish browser. Once I got it set up to my liking, it was really lightweight, fast, and easy to use. 

So, just to see if it could be done, I decided to install it on Phosh. And lo and behold, it worked. But, none of the buttons (forward, back, home, etc.) have labels on them.  Just squares at the bottom, except for the tabs button. I have to try to remember what the buttons do and sometimes I get it wrong. But, it's SO close to being 100% what I want.



So, what do I install to get button labels on Angelfish?

I had my clusterboard run for about two months and today i've turned it of to add new modules. but when i turned it back on, within a minute, one of the bateries exploded. Well started to bubble and sprayed some juice out.

Is this a common thing for normal batteries explode in cluster board, or was it just a rare case? Just a general AA alkaline batteries.

I'm honestly confused. please help

I've bought SOEdge to just try what it can do, in my clusterboard but i'm not even able to start it....
here if founds some images and link for a guide how should flash it to the eMMC. However there is no guide for flashing it on clusterboard, and i'm really not sure if i should connect the usb (which one) on the clusterboard with SOEdge inside to my computer or what....

yesterday got pinecil
Tried to update firmware, dfu-util -l couldn't find it ???? and not in lsusb too
So i thought (a rare occurrence) does it need C on both ends?
Then a vague memory from git issues......
Test:  lsusb |wc -l (unconnected,, word count --lines)
recall command (up arrow) plug in with "-" pressed, hit enter quickly
Ah ha, there it is (count +1)
recall command, enter,,, and gone again
So, 2 seconds, 3 seconds,, whatever,, be quick
I did get the upgrade in

Hi,

I dropped my Pinephone a few days ago and have realised the inner earpiece speaker (not the main speaker at the bottom) has stopped working. I removed the mother board and reconnected everything but that hasn't changed anything.

This thread https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=12046 has internal earpiece (and external) info:

Earpiece dimensions: 12x6x2 mm. Compatible with Xiaomi Mi2 / Mi3 / Mi4, Lenovo A536 and others.

What exactly am I looking for and can it be replaced without soldering? Apparently a fall is enough to break them.

I want to make sure I'm ordering the right part from e.g. ebay / amazon and that I can replace it.

Thanks!

I'm chosing between gigantic and tiny.

Also, why does the keyboard need to become incredibly small when the screen is at 200%? An onscreen keyboard should automatically resize.

When there's a window that's too big to see in the screen, the only choice is to resize, right?

Interesting problem.
Computer runs but... dies frequently
Plugged into power (barrel connector); green power light on; battery charging (0%)

Battery problem or charger problem?... or ?

I am selling little used, about a month old, like the new Pinephone convergence, Beta edition 3 / 32GB, with factory OS. I don't use it.  I am sending from the Czech Republic. All customs duties already paid on initial purchase. Offer a price.

I did not find bl602 related forum, so let me post here

I've had time to play with pinenuts lately and wanted to share about these wonderfull boards (I use pinecones and Nut-01S).

I'd like first to thank Pine64 for providing this hw, and lupyuen for his documentation efforts (mostly on the SPI !)

At the moment, the Nut-01s is my favorite, it is so small and yet usefull on its own with its push-button and RGB led, you can power it on two AAA batteries and there you go ... It's main drawback is that it has not enough pins to drive SPI devices, for that I use the pinecone.

I have a main project to do a small e-paper display for the kitchen, using waveshare 1.53" SPI e-ink display, here are some photos of the HW

       

And the software can be downloaded here : https://git.sr.ht/~fdlamotte/homedisplay

There is not much for now, the little box can drive a remote vlc server through http, it displays songs in directory and playlist and controls loading and playing songs or webradios ... I had to adapt code from the epd driver, and used yxml to parse the http streams from vlc.

As I wanted to add gemini capabilities to my box, I dived a little more into gemini itself. Using mbedtls I've been able to get gemini page (directly from the https examples of mbedtls) and serve some data too from a pinenut. The gemini browser is not yet functional into homedisplay, I do not render the text yet to the e-ink and only watch it from the serial terminal

Here is the server proof of concept code : https://git.sr.ht/~fdlamotte/pinenut_gem

I did not manage to get it to work using mbedtls that comes with the SDK, there was some cipher negociation problems. So I used mbedtls from git and backported the necessary bits to make it work on the pinenut ... so as you might expect, it is a little hacky but it works, I can change the led color with a gemini request made from a streamline gemini browser (used gmnlm and castor)

I hope it will draw other people to have fun with these little chips !
