I've attached a poll, please reply if you have a PineTab!

Given the previous community update suggesting the next batch of PineTabs will probably be shipped in December, is there any possibility of getting a jump start on purchasing the SSD upgrade adapter? From what was said by Luke, it sounded like they were basically ready to go in the original PineTab shipping but it was just a case of finishing it off.

Pros (that I can think of):

1. More people to test that it works correctly before the next batch. I imagine some people may even want to experiment with attaching other devices too (in theory, M.2 offers some PCI lanes too).

2. The community can get a head start on testing the compatibility of different M.2 SSDs to smooth over non-early-adopters that might expect a more streamlined experience.

3. It has become clear that there is some nack to opening the device up without breaking the display - I imagine it would also be good to have a community article & video describing this process.

Cons (that I can think of):

1. Smaller number of purchases increases manufacturing costs for a small batch. I think some people (myself included) would be willing to pay a bit more for the lower run and it would make sense to have something being manufactured in this time gap between runs. Also it could be a pre-order deal to prevent having to store stock.

InfiniTime

InfiniTime is a PineTime firmware that is lightweight, tidy, supported by multiple companion apps and in active development. It's the current factory-default firmware on the PineTime.

The goal of this project is to design an open-source firmware for the Pinetime smartwatch:

• Code written in modern C++
  
• Build system based on CMake
  
• Based on FreeRTOS 10.0.0 real-time OS
  
• Using LittleVGL/LVGL 7 as UI library...
  
• ...and NimBLE 1.3.0 as Bluetooth LE stack.
  

• Fast and optimized LCD driver
  
• Bluetooth LE (BLE) communication
  
• Rich user interface via display, touchscreen and pushbutton
  
• Time synchronization via BLE
  
• Notification via BLE
  
• Multiple watchapps:
      - Clock (displays the date, time, battery level, BLE connection status)
      - Music control
      - System info (displays various info: BLE MAC, build date/time, uptime, version...)
      - Brightness (allows the user to configure the brightness of the display)
  
• Supported by 2 companion apps (development is in progress):
      - Gadgetbridge (on Android)
      - Amazfish (on SailfishOS)
  
• [Experimental] OTA (Over-the-air) update via BLE
  
• [Experimental] Bootloader based on MCUBoot
  

• Project branches
  
• Versioning
  
• Files included in the release notes
  
• Build the project
  
• Build the project with Docker
  
• Bootloader, OTA and DFU
  
• Stub using nRF52-DK
  
• Logging with JLink RTT
  
• Using files from the releases
  

• How to contribute?
  

• Bluetooth LE implementation and API
  

• Memory analysis
  
• Integration with Gadgetbridge
  
• Integration with AmazFish
  
• Firmware update, OTA
  

Hello!

So I was trying to add megapixels to my postmarket OS pinephone, and ran into an issue.

Upon running sudo add apk megapixels, it asks for the password.  
When I enter the password nothing appears in the terminal, (Keyboard does register presses) and it registers as a bad attempt.

Am I missing something here?

How do I flash the modebian image to the emmc on the pinephone?

To the people who had installed a glass screen protector...what kind of protector (tablet brand / model) have you used and how does it fit? Do you think there will be a dedicated protector for the PineTab in the future?

Hello dear piners!
First of all a big thanks for Adam Pigg and Danct12 who made a lot of the initial work, without which this would not be possible.

I've been working on Sailfish OS the last couple of days and there is something somewhat presentable now. Be WARNED as this build has some issues:

Things that do not work:
Sound
Volume buttons
Browser (another one is included)
Plymouth boot splash
Attachable keyboard
Camera
Battery life is probably really bad

That being said it's quite usable for me already and since I'll be having a bit less time to work on it, someone might help a bit with that. Not all things have PRs for upstream currently. I'll hope to write them soon. There will be an image, that I took from my SD card for you at the end of this. The card is a 16gb one, so beware if you're using something smaller.

THIS A LENGTHY AND QUITE CUMBERSOME THING TO DO, BE WARNED THAT IT MAY BE BEST TO WAIT FOR A TIME UNTIL THINGS IMPROVE UPSTREAM. I'VE DONE ALL THE BUILD ON ARCH, SO STUFF MAY VARY FOR YOUR DISTRO.

Ok let's start.

1. Get the flash.it script from https://github.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it and flash a SD card with the pinetab image.
2. In the mean time get the kernel I patched for sfos from: https://github.com/peperjohnny/linux-pine64-sfos
3. You will need to build this kernel yourself, as the changes in porter upstream are missing as of today.

I bought a 128Gb eMMC to use in my 14" Pinebook. 
Would it work in the PineTab ?

My Pinebook needs a new display and I may be waiting a while until a replacement is available.

Hello there,

I appreciate the general style of the mostly-unbranded Pine64 products and many users on twitter like that too.
But as I love the Pine devices very much(PBP, PP and PT collected so far) I would like to show this off to everyone.

So I would like to see some stickers in the store, in matching sizes for the devices. Like half the width of the phone and half the height of the PBP screen?
Just want to stick a big pine cone onte them ^^

(I also looked at this thread but didn't want to dig it up. Also a full skin is not what I want, because I tend to cover my notebook in stickers. Ok would spare the pine cone though)

Best regards,
fxkk8y

edit: I just discovered that there are third-party(?) stickers on redbubble, but as in the case with the PP tpu protector which contains a donation fee, I would buy them at a higher price and support you or your donation projects.

Create Your Own PineTime Watch Face in Rust... And Publish on crates.io

I have been using my UBPort CE Pine Phone on Mobian as my daily driver since mid September. I'm with T-mobile in the US. My Pine Phone always boots up to full bars, 4G.  While the data for getting online still needs rebooting from time to time, I've not have to use my back up phone for a while. I am forever amazed at the Mobian team for keeping up the good work. I have learned a few things, like never rebooting with the phone charging cable plugged in, or never covering/obscuring the top portion of the phone while not on the phone, or always making sure data is working before doing the update/upgrade....Happy to be able to learn from my mistakes.

On my end, I feel not too well-versed in how to customize my phone.  For some reason, none of the Software Store apps work. I mean, they would install, but would not start up. (and then Software Store will complain that such and such cannot be used).  Then I tried to get Skype to work, and I ventured off and installed Snapd. I was able to download skype classic.  Then while installing, it said that the software is not for arm64 structure. I'm confused as far as what exactly I can use. Am I wrong in assuming that something .deb is compatible with the Pine phone? Is there a workaround I need to learn?

Also, is it possible to go back to Camera until Megapixel works? With Camera I had decent picture quality, AND i could do video.  Now I cannot do video at all.  At times it's necessary to have a video camera in the phone. 

Switching between headphone (wired) and regular phone didn't seem possible without rebooting in between, which is not ideal , as it potentially interrupts a phone call.  Is there something I can do about that?
