Hey there,
I am pmOS (Phosh) user and I am trying to get Google Services into my Anbox images.

First I tried to install OpenGApps. I manually extracted the anbox image from /usr/share/anbox/android.img, installed gsfcore-all, gsflogin-all, gmscore-arm64 and vending-arm from ARM64/7.1 pico variant of OpenGApps and then packed it back (you can look here [1], [2] or [3] to get some idea how to do it). It works, partially. I can see the Play Store in app list and start it. But the anbox crashes every time after about one minute - does not matter what I run, F-Droid, Play Store, or just settings.

So next time I tried to microG project. There is some info on this forum here. Unfortunately, after this patch the anbox does not run at all. My personal guess is that services.jar are for x86.

Have anyone of you had better luck with these?

I recently discovered that my microphones are not working. I'm on manjaro testing. Has anyone a working microphone on the Pinebook Pro? If so, which distro are you using?

Hi !


I recently had to reinstall my Pine64's DietPie (raspbian mod). I use this SBC as home automation (formerly Jeedom, trying now Hass.io) with the Pine64 Zwave GPIO module.


Before this module was well recognised with Jeedom. But after reinstall (and DietPie upgrade) it isn't anymore. I first thought about a problem in HassIO's Zwave integration but it isn't. I mean /dev/ttyS2 don't link to the module :

PineCone BL602 talks SPI too!

Hello all,

I have been pondering the actual security of using a numeric pin for the lock screen.. Even with a 10 digit pin it can easily be cracked in 2 mins with the right setup. Is there a way to use an alphanumeric pin on Mobian. Thanks.

Looking for some PinePhone UBports Edition Success Stories are their any?

Looking to connect with PinePhone UBports Edition owners who have actually used their PinePhone UBports Edition to
1. Take pictures
2. Make phone calls
3. Send and receive text messages

Any other PinePhone UBports Edition success stories welcome, send receive email, web browsing etc.

Thanks in advance.

Other than prying the case off the phone and yanking out the battery how do you shut down Mobian?

Thanks

I'd like to programmatically place a call to a specific number and specify my own audio input and output streams. Is there any documentation around for this?

This thread is being started to document the trials and tribulations of installing Anbox on my Pinephone.  Likewise, it would be an honor to learn from those who blazed the trail before me.

I managed to install Anbox through pacman by switching to the unstable branch.  (It seems that the unstable branch also has a few fixes to other software that have been helpful, but maybe adding an extra bug or two.  I'm not entirely sure, but I digress.)

This is not recommended if you are squeamish about experimental software.
