From what I have read so far the 16gb eMMC  read speed is a bit faster,   than the 32gb eMMC read speed

1) Will this give noticeable difference to performance in normal phone use ?
     is the eMMC speed listed the maximum for that device     
         or a product of its interaction with the phone hardware.?

2) I also read the phones board firmware can possibly be tweaked in the future to give the board the ability to to give faster 'read' speeds.
     Is this likely to happen soon...?    
       Will 'users' notice a big difference at that time..?

Hi,

I just received my PinePhone and I'm very excited to try it out! But after removing the tap between the battery and connector and booting up for the first time, I was taken to a lock screen. Swiping up takes me to a screen for entering a passcode. I was not taken through a first-run setup to create a user and I don't know what passcode I'm supposed to use.

Did I miss some communication about the phones being preset up and having a default code or do I need to reset the phone somehow? If so, any advice on how to do that would be appreciated.

Has anyone installed wireguard on the Pine Phone with Manjaro (I am new to both Pine Phone and Manjaro). Thanks!

I think that the best retro emulation system is Android with Retroarch, because it runs without the problem, so I installed Android 9 with play store. Everything works except Kodi, it keeps crashing every time I run it. Can anyone confirm that it is not a problem with my RockPro? Maybe I should try older Android?

Hello, Would someone know GPIO pinout for these header on Popcorn Hour Transformer.
Thanks.

Hi

As the system is changing constantly at the moment and I often update the image I am looking for a way to backup user data and settings
and restore them once the new image has booted or even before writing the image to the SD card.

E.g. how to backup and restore:

• WiFi set up via the Posh UI
  
• call logs
  

Hello everybody,
I have an application written in electron for raspberry. Without going too deep, it's just set on/off some GPIO output at some predeterministic time.
I just bought a PINE A64-LTS, installed last armbian verson and ported the application, which start just fine.
My problem is now the gpio configuration, with raaspberry I use pigpio package (https://github.com/fivdi/pigpio), I was wondering if there is a similar library to use/manage gpio in electron framework.

thanks a lot for any good advice





hehehelloasas

does anyone know why certain packages aren't compiled for aarch64 but are for eg. armv7? I want to install rofi, but it's only available on armv7. there's no place to comment or feature request on the alpine packages site, the only option is to flag out of date, which the packages aren't.

In the "settings -> default applications" menu, I can't choose "firefox" in the "web" dropdown (in fact, I can't choose anything), and so links from other applications open with the text editor. similarly, "text editor" is selected as "calendar", and it's the only option, despite having Calendar installed.

Is this a known issue? If not, where should I report it? And lastly: can these settings be changed from the command line?

I tried the "usual" tricks like volume up + volume down, volume up + power to take a screenshot on my PinePhone with Manjaro + Phosh, but it doesn't work. I read on this old blog post that it's now possible, but it doesn't explain the procedure. How can I do it?
