I took my pinephone out in the forest today, even though I thought that the camera wasn’t working well. I discovered a few things: 

Megapixels looks bad currently in Mobian phosh, but does a great job. Although the image in the viewer looks distorted and off color, the resulting photos are decent. 

On the default Mobian image, the photos are saved as dng and tiff files. But if you install dcraw and imagemagick, Megapixels saves both raw dng and jpeg files. 

sudo apt-get install dcraw imagemagick

Here’s more info from the developer:

This pushes the Pinephone much closer to daily driver for me.

Hey,
has anyone tested different charging adapter for the pinephone ? I have been using my J5 charger and recently got a EP-200TA from a S20. Which adapter is the "best" for Manjaro Pinephone ? Are there any differences at all ?

I was using my pinecil today to do some soldering, I was running it off of my power bank cause I thought it would be enough power.  I ended up having issues with one of the larger components so I decided to pull out my AC adapter that I have to get some extra power.

I have a 24v AC adapter that I had bought for my TS100.  I plugged that up and when I plugged it into the pinecil I got nothing.  I then plugged it back into the power bank and the screen was still blank.

I do have a USB power meter plugged in between the power bank and the pinecil.  It shows 5v 0.3a when plugged in, so it's not completely dead.

I plugged my TS100 into the AC adapter and it worked fine.  I know they now recommend 21v max now, but I was under the impression it could handle the 24v just fine.  I am assuming this is my issue since it worked fine until I switched power supplies, but would that cause what I am experiencing?  Is there any place to buy replacement screens for the pinecil?  I know I can buy screens for the TS100, are the compatible?

Open to any and all suggestions.  Thank you.

I put my Vcard contact list on the sd card mounted in my Mobian pinephone.
I can't figure out how to make the phone see the list.
Is there a folder I need to put the file in? If so, where is that located?
Thanks!

I recently connected a NETUM NT-156B external monitor to the Pinebook Pro's USB-C output. Settings recognizes the monitor, but no image is displayed. The NETUM specs says it uses USB-C Alternate Display Port which is also what the Pinebook Pro Wiki calls for.

Any ideas? Duckduckgo has not revealed any solutions...

Just got my phone in yesterday.
I got it fired up and charged. Connected to my wifi.
I know this is a work in progress, but my battery seems to last less than an hour.
I tried to look at the software updates, and it just has a spinning ring or freezes.
What's my next step?

I just found very good Android OS for RockPro64. 

The link to original topic is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/slash...4.3949002/
and you can download it here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1...lCEm9x-RIM

Just dd it to SD card and it runs. It is Android 7.x based, but it already contains Play Store and apps like Kodi, RetroArch, etc. 
Wifi does not work, unfortunatelly. Anyway, it is not so important for a TV box, I think.
I am just testing it on SD card, tomorrow I want to flash it to eMMC and use it instead of my old Rockbox, which is already very slow.

Last week we programmed PineCone BL602 to transmit LoRa packets over the airwaves... Today we shall receive the LoRa packets with the RAKwireless WisBlock Arduino platform.
