| LED use, customization ? |

Is there a way to use LEDs? Ideally, would be nice to customize them for various uses. As a minimum, I'd like to have a LED notification whenever I have a missed call or a new message (sms, email). Also a LED battery charging indicator is useful. Would be great if a user can specify in settings or some config file color, duration, pattern of the LED notification. At present, my LEDs are off all the time - am I missing something?
Megi's LED info is interesting, but not for layman's practical use.
BTW, it was pleasant to experience use of LEDs by sxmo.

The Rockpro64 boards emit a buzz noise (audible only at some centimeters), this is probably due to the converters. However. there is no noise at all on the rock64. Then, I am wondering if it is not due to 12V instead of the 5V for rock64. Is there a reason for this choice ? reduce current ?
Powering with GPIO 5V does not reduce the noise

| Upgraded to 3G/32G and will not boot if SD card inserted |

Hello,
I bought the UTce phone back in June and I upgraded recently to the 3G/32G mainboard. I flashed the eMMC and it runs fine. If I flash an SD card it will boot and run fine. However, if I use the eMMC with a storage only SD card inserted then it gives me a red light and never boots.
My guess is that the phone sees the SD card, cannot see anything to boot, but then doesn't switch to the eMMC. Is there a config I need to edit or some package I need to retrieve from the old mainboard?

I attempted to install pmos to SD card using pmbootstrap. I tried 'shelli' and 'none' for UI. I tried both on archlinux laptop and on pinephone running archlinux (from eMMC). Below is the error I'm getting in all cases. Any ideas how to deal with this error? Could this error be because of archlinux?

| PineBook Pro Bootcrash on Manjaro |

I just got my Pinebook Pro today, probably got too exited about no speakers detected and tried to update OS automatically and that concluded in boot crash.
What is happening is just Manjaro logo, below dotted circle do from 2 spins up to 4 and then it freezes.
What should I do to treat it with?
Should I try reinstall Manjaro? if so, is there special repository for Pinebook Pro or drivers?
Should I try ubuntu? what about drivers? Will notebook work without any troubles?

| Safe to Update? |

Sorry for the noob question cuz I've been out of the loop lately, but I have a Pinebook Pro running Manjaro ARM and noticed a month or two ago that there was an update that broke something. Rather than follow the workaround to fix the issue, I've just been avoiding running new updates and now I have over 400+ updates available.
Is it safe to go ahead an run all of the updates, or are there any possible issues that could occur that I'm unaware of?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Support silent for 2 months |

Long story short, I ended up sending my PinePhone BH back to Pine in an RMA parcel. Up until this point the support had always replied quickly, within a few days. In their last message, support promised to get back to me once the parcel arrived. Well, tracking has now reported the parcel as delivered for over two months. Support, however, has not even said anything despite my follow-ups asking for confirmation on the parcel.
So, a year from ordering I still don't have the PinePhone.

| USB file transfer question |

Thanks to the 5.9 kernel I'm once again able to see my phone (UBPorts CE with the upgraded main board) when I plug it into a computer, which is great. But when I try to transfer files from the computer to the phone I can't open them on the phone (I get various errors, depending on the file type).
At first I thought the files were being corrupted somehow by the transfer, but I just realized that's not the problem. The files are being transferred over with root ownership and permissions, instead of mobian. I know I can go in afterwards with chown to change the ownership to mobian, and then the files can be opened on the phone, but it would be nicer if they could just transfer over with mobian ownership from the start.
Does anyone know how I can transfer files to the phone with mobian ownership already set up?
Thanks!
