| How to update the OS |

This is embarrasing but I briefly saw the option to update the OS when I first turned on my Manjaro phone but now I can't find how to update the OS and google is not my friend today. Is there a video somewhere that CLEARLY shows how to update the OS?
Also, FWIW, it took me 1/2 an hour of wasted time on youtube just to find out that the initial lockscreen passcode is 123456.

Hi,
Sorry if i've missed this in any of the stickies. I was just wondering if there's somewhere i can check on the progress of delivery of my pinephone? When i ordered it (21st Nov, and i'm in the UK), I wasn't given a courier option like i've seen some people talk about on here, nor was i given any kind of reference number for the order, just an email that the order is being processed. I'm not demanding 'where is my pinephone' or anything like that (i'm a very patient bloke ), just asking if there's anyway i can see updates and stuff like that?
Once again, apologies if this is in a sticky post somewhere and i've not noticed it.
Many thanks,
mute

| Pinetab Mobian optimization |

I am starting thread for tips about optimizing Mobian on the Pinetab. As built-in RAM is limited and the Pinetab seems to suffer significantly from it, I would like to find the settings that yields the best possible performance for running firefox, geary and other programs and apps.
Here are my current settings, which I think give some performance improvements although my Pinetab is quite laggy still at times and even freezes occassionally.
/etc/default/zramswap
Code: PERCENT=100
#SIZE=512
PRIORITY=100
CORES=1
/etc/sysctl.conf
Code: vm.vfs_cache_pressure=500
vm.swappiness=100
vm.dirty_background_ratio=1
vm.dirty_ratio=50
Please tell me if these settings are of any help to you or if you have other settings that makes the Pinetab faster and more responsive.
Here are some memory stats with the above settings:
After a fresh reboot:
Code: ~$ free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 1,9Gi 795Mi 443Mi 56Mi 690Mi 938Mi
Swap: 1,9Gi 0B 1,9Gi
With firefox running:
Code: ~$ free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 1,9Gi 1,3Gi 63Mi 161Mi 551Mi 319Mi
Swap: 1,9Gi 16Mi 1,9Gi
With firefox and geary running:
Code: ~$ free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 1,9Gi 1,3Gi 66Mi 180Mi 542Mi 294Mi
Swap: 1,9Gi 330Mi 1,6Gi

| Writing an image to on-system emmc |

I see great tools and extensions to others for creating bootable SD cards - thanks!
I am still fuzzy on flashing on-system emmc. So far I am guessing it involves something like Jumpdrive and then the command below?
wget 172.16.42.2/u.img -O - | dd bs=4M conv=noerror,sync of=/dev/mmcblk2
Thanks for clarification. I cannot seem to see another and the trial to 'dd' a live SD card were as stable as expected.
Cheers
