| Proximity sensor rubber pad gasket replacement |
|

My braveheart pinephone never had the small gasket that covers the proximity sensor. This causes the proximity sensor to provide bad readings to phosh and blanks the screen. Now after making a phosh based image I edit the udev rules to disable the proximity sensor. I was hoping the replacement mainboard would include the proximity sensor cover, but it did not. Though an uncommon problem I'm not the only one to have this issue based on the various messages on the forum.
I tried the fix shown by RWXYZ, but I'm having trouble getting the tiny pieces aligned correctly. See https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...=proximity
Does anyone have a 3D printable fix for the proximity and light sensor gasket? I might be able to get a friend to print it some versions.
Any other thoughts on potential fixes? I'm missing the part so don't know exactly what is needed.
Thanks

| 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?

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.
