  Toggle light & dark themes with a launcher.
Posted by: MtnSk8 - 03-14-2021, 12:20 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

A launcher to toggle between the stock light and dark themes in Mobian:

goes in:      ~/.local/share/applications/
name it:      themeswitcher.desktop (or whatever name with .desktop extention)

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Actions=Light;Dark;
Type=Application
Name=Day-Night
GenericName=Theme Switch
Comment=Theme Switch
Icon=contrast
TryExec=gsettings
Exec=notify-send ThemeSwitcher "Long Press for Theme Color Options"
Terminal=false
Categories=Settings;Theme;Colors;Session
MimeType=
Keywords=Theme,Colors

[Desktop Action Light]
Exec=gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita'
Name=Daytime

[Desktop Action Dark]
Exec=gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita-dark'
Name=Nighttime
Then make it executable:
Code:
sudo chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/themeswitcher.desktop

Long press on the Icon to use.

Save battery by switching to the light theme in bright conditions.
Save your eyes at night.

Cheers!

  Where is the original PM OS image for Pinephone?
Posted by: mw4jet - 03-13-2021, 05:16 PM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I am looking to sell my Pinephone PostmarketOS edition and I want to reflash the image it shipped with. 

Anyone have a link? Or should I just put the latest release on it? What would you do?

Thanks


  mobian, pinephone camera, and megapixels
Posted by: dawg161 - 03-13-2021, 02:52 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (32)

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.


  Best charging adapter
Posted by: Regula - 03-13-2021, 05:43 AM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (1)

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 ?


  Screen is blank on pinecil - did I kill it?
Posted by: ch5richards - 03-12-2021, 11:31 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinecil - Replies (2)

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.


  Vcard contact list?
Posted by: czgunner - 03-12-2021, 10:26 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (3)

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!


Question External Monitor not Working
Posted by: sciolus - 03-12-2021, 07:45 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (5)

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... Huh
