Hey guys,

I'm a proud new owner of a brand new pinephone! I wanted to start developing on the device but not sure what approach to take. I'm a bit long in the tooth when it comes to developing GUI applications and haven't done much development for many years but want to get back into tinkering.

To ease myself in I was thinking of writing a simple game like Tetris or some other fun game. I've looked at several toolkits like GTK and Qt but something else that piqued my interest was using Flutter? I found this YouTube video from the Linux Foundation and it got me thinking if this is something worth considering using for developing apps for the pinephone? This guy seems to have done a lot of the legwork to get this working for arm. I've included the video and I'm interested in hearing the opinions of more seasoned developers.

Hi folks,

it's so nice to see that the Mobian team decided to include the latest patches for PD and other useful stuff.
To avoid double posting refer to my post here:

Just made a short test with one of my type C chargers which was limited to 0.5A before...
Now it got recognized as 3.0A charger.
Will test with another dock tomorrow.

Things get better everyday!
Thanks to the Mobian guys (and to megous of course) for this improvement.

Cheers,

None of the distributions I've tried will let me connect to my 5 GHz wifi network at home, because it only shows the 2.4 GHz. The hardware supports 802.11n, so why doesn't it show my higher speed access points?

I have the Mobian CE with Convergence.

Thanks!

I installed Mobian got green light and keyboard. Appears like it needs password to get in but the password I created won't work. Please help. Old dumb Nam Vet Atty.Doug

Hi,
I received my community edition this morning and got it all set up but during updating I couldn't login back in to check the progress, type the pass code then it resets and expects it again. I have had this with mobian on my braveheart so did what I have done before and pressed the power button to turn it all off and turned it back on. I have the message 'OH no! Something as gone wring, A problem as occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again@ which I have done a number of times.

So, have I killed it in double quick time or can I re install the image on the emmc? Or is there some way to recover it?

Thanks

I missed getting a replacement board for my BH edition phone. Is there going to be any more in stock?

What was the deal with the cheap price? Were you making a loss at that price or not?

If not, can you extend that price to any BH owner that needs a replacement board?

I recently bought All In Ones for my sister - with MS WOS - because "it was easier and fancier" 

But for laptops Chromebooks are her "easier" option - because it was a Christmas gift to their children - in their home.

28" was the bigger screen I found.

And as 32" are more productive than 28" and 60Hz IPS panels are relatively cheap (VA even more) ...

... I think that offering 32" All In One (with and without TV) ARM computers, with GNU/Linux preinstalled can be a great typewriting machine that also provides what every SOHO (Small Office and Home) would need, and even act as a TV. 

And that having that 32" format, will boost Pine boards sells.

Last but not least, adding KDE TV versions to  32" TVs, can open a market for high diagonal TVs powered by pine boards and Linux, better if, with time, you can easily replace the board with new ones as times goes by and, in this case some new codecs as AV1 now are added to the hardware, also WiFi 6e, BT 5 etc.

I recently bought a 4GB ROCKPro64 (including power supply) and am unable to make it boot. I have a serial adapter (running at 1500000bps) connected and have tried the following:

• FreeBSD-13.0-ALPHA2-arm64-aarch64-ROCKPRO64-20210122-02611ef8ee9-256201.img.xz on a SD card.  This displays `U-Boot TPL 2020.10 (Jan 22 2021 - 04:33:21)`
  
• Armbian_20.11.10_Rockpro64_focal_current_5.9.14.img.xz on both SD card and eMMC.  This displays `U-Boot TPL 2020.10-armbian (Jan 05 2021 - 04:11:42)`
  
• buster-minimal-rockpro64-0.9.14-1159-arm64.img.xz on SD card.  This displays `DDR Version 1.19 20190305` then `In`
  

Wondering if anyone else is having issues?

I've had ofonoctl indicate registered and yet getting an Unable to make calls in Dialier and a telepathy error in Spacebar.
I've had the modem go unpowered for no apparent reason (problem with resume from suspend?).
I've had the modem not turn on at boot.

I also still have some calls wake up the screen but nothing else, no notification with cancel / reply or ringing.
Changing audio out from earphone to speaker seems to lead to no ringing problems?

Is this due to eg25-manager / ofono 'conflicts' or simply the ongoing resume / suspend problem? Or is it the modem?

Curious as when I switched to Plasma Mobile I was excited the phone rang immediately when in suspend on a incoming call and same with incoming sms / text messages, but now it seems to have gone wrong.

Perhaps a recent eg25-manager update? Not sure ofono was updated recently.
Guess it is still work in progress.

Also, does anyone know if unstable updates are available via mirrors? I switched to unstable but it didn't get anything new.

I'm running Manjaro on my Pinebooks Pro.
With the ISO model I can type the Euro symbol with Alt Gr + 4.

With the ANSI model I tried to set the keyboard to US, Euro on 5.
But unfortunately it doesn't work for me.
I set the Compose key to Right Alt.

Anyone able to type the Euro symbol with the ANSI keyboard?
