Hello,
  while making some benchmark with the rockPro64 using PassMark tool, I noticed that the "integer math" is 4+ times higher than the  "Floating Point Math" whereas in a lot of results for other processors (AMD or Intel) it is usually less than 2. Do you know where the gap comes from ? math coprocessors ?
I do not know if it make sens, but is it possible to use the mali GPU to performs math ops (I do not use any Graphical interface) ?

LMM.

I tried to order the PinePhone Beta today, but the shipping calculator says that it doesn't have a shipper for Bolivia. Since I have friends in Peru and Brazil, I tried putting in their cities as well, but again the shipping calculator reports that it doesn't have a shipper for those countries.

Is the shipping calculator correct that PINE64 doesn't ship to South America? Are there any plans to be able to ship to South America in the future?

My other question is whether v1.2b is the final hardware for the PinePhone. Does PINE64 have any plans to fix the backlight flicker bug? If PINE64 is planning on a final board revision, then I'm willing to wait, but if this is the final hardware, I might as well order now.

i haven't found any checksums for the "stable" images, and it would be nice to have them signed

Experimenting with Kdenlive on the PineBook Pro seemed to suggest that editing on the PineBook Pro is totally doable, especially more basic editing

Graphics Tablet: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=graphics+table...&ia=images

It should be fairly easy to repurpose some of the parts from the Pine Tab to make the screen.  It would seem that the main challenge would be to create a PCB  and program the board to function as a "Wacom" type input device.  It also could be as simple as making the tablet mirror the display, and function as the input device as well.  The main missing component would be the pen device itself.  This seems like potentially the biggest challenge, though it may be very simple.
I really like using graphics tablets, but having one that was built openly might make sense to more artists in this age of NFTs.
The ability for a proprietary tablet to have un-patched vulnerabilities that could compromise your original work may become an increased concern in the future.  It might be good to get ahead of the issues proprietary hardware has before people are clamoring for it retroactively because they have lost artwork, or had it compromised in someway.

I was having a look on reddit and have seen 2 brilliant Phosh improvements both come along today.
I've tried both, and they both worked great for me.
This really makes Phosh much more appealing.

So, I have no sound on Manjaro KDE through either the speakers or the regular headphone jack.  I think this happened after an update, and I don't think I've changed anything, but I don't use sound terribly frequently, so I may have done something.  This is what I've found out so far:

• Sound DOES work on my USB headphones
  
• alsamixer volumes are all up
  
• KDE volume mixer is up
  
• Sound through speakers and headphones DOES work on Armbian

Hi.
I know there is some info about open media vault and using Pine64+ as a NAS device on this forum, but looks like OMV is no longer supported.
Would somebody help me and explain me how and where to download image for OMV to run on my Pine64+ board ?
Or just tu put a link to iso image (OMV github is active but I can't find any Pine64 iso's) where I can download it.
Also new experiences concerning Pie64+ and it use as a NAS storage device would be appreciated.
Regards,

I am using the latest KDE Plasma PinePhone. 
The phone Contacts does not import from my Google account. Selecting the import feature
presents the file manager and a list of folders under the Home folder. I Tried importing a .csv file
but Manjaro would not process it. Somewhat confused as to how to get my contacts into the phone 
Address Book. A very basic function for any phone. Interesting that the contacts/address book works
not problems in Manjaro Plasma. Anyone have any help or suggestions?

I've tried with a few SD Cards now, both 512 Gig formatted exfat, and tge cards are not showing up on boot, "dmesg" and "lsblk" are not showing them as well.

I'm running Phosh, is it an issue with Phosh?

I'm able to mount the SD Card via an OTG cable, as well as a Windows computer

Thanks
