I'd like to redefine the power switch so it brings up a whiptail confirmation dialog or something like that before it actually shuts off.  Suspend could easily be added to that as another choice.

Is that possible?  I keep hitting it by accident.  I'm using the original Debian Stretch still.  Something like:

Hello everyone,

We’ll soon be starting work on the PineCom - a privacy-oriented handheld communicator that shares the PinePhone’s pedigree but offers a distinct and different feature set. We hope to achieve a high degree of software compatibility between the two devices - indeed, we expect the PineCom to run all existing PinePhone OS images out-of-the-box. Unlike the PinePhone however, the PineCom will not feature a modem but rather rely on WiFi, IoT LoRa and LoRaWan for communications. The device will also be smaller at (5” LCD panel or less), and will not feature a USB-C alt mode for video output. 

Everything else is still up in the air at this point, and we therefore invite you to brainstorm ideas with us regarding the remaining design features of the PineCom. More specifically, we’d like to know your opinion on the following:

1. Do we need both a front and back camera on the PineCom? In fact, do we need any cameras at all? 
   
2. Should we bring over all sensors present on the PinePhone? If so, which do you think we can do without?
   
3. Should we use the same single band/11n/BT4 WiFi module in the PinePhone (for compatibility sake) or change it out for a dual band/11ac/BT5?
   
4. Should the device feature a GPS (and compass) or are those features redundant in this type of device? 
   
5. Should we include SPI flash?
   
6. We are currently considering following the PinePhone’s general design and aesthetic for the PineCom, but if there is some sort of physical (within reason - also financially) that you think would fit this type of device well then make sure to let us know.  
   
7. We’re currently thinking of using a 5” LCD panel for the PineCom; what do you think about this - is there a reason to go bigger or smaller? 
   

Hello,

I set up minicom and the serial cable and watched the whole thing boot.

Everything looks fine otherwise, text input works as expected EXCEPT the enter key.
Pressing enter will echo back 'OM'

How? Why?

Ctrl+m works as a workaround.

Thanks.

Is there any port of Bliss OS on pinephone?  I see some old threads of Bliss OS on pinebook but nothing for pinephone

Thanks

I have no problem using WPA personal to connect to my home wifi. However, at work, there is no option in my phone to connect wpa_enterprise. Does anyone have any idea if this is possible in mobian? thanks

everything is updated, via terminal/kings cross.

Yet, when I attempt to select any category "audio & video", etc., the software application quickly shuts down .

Not sure how to rectify this. Any ideas?

thanks

What do?

So I'm looking for a new laptop and might consider buying a Pinebook at some stage. However, I'm wondering with the right setup whether I can simply use my Pinephone as a PC? So when I'm out and about it's a phone, but when I get home, I "plug it in" and it becomes my home PC.

Cheers,

P.

Hey guys,

I have my own domain and so I use a different email for everything. I ordered and received the PMos PP using an email specific to this order, when taken to paypal to pay I used a different email there too.

Last week I got a news letter from DHL using the email address I've only ever used to order this specific PinePhone. I'm not too worried about it but I thought I should post it here to let you guys know.

edit: looks like the unsubscribe button in the email isn't a link, just text so that's nice. time to black hole that email address

Thats all, cheers!

I know there was a thread from 6 months ago talking about Retropie, but can we have a dedicated thread somewhere talking about what games work on the pinephone? I really like the idea of people posting here how they manage to get what game to work.

On Mobian, you have access to the full Gnome Software app, but there's literally no way to know if a game will "Just work", or "work but not fit on the screen", or just crash upon opening. The UBPorts app store is... kinda rough. Last I tried it a lot of apps just didn't work, and the games that did work were pretty minimal.

Atm I'm using Mobian, and:

-The only game I've installed that ran with zero issues was Aisleriot.
-All of the generic games with "Gnome" in the title don't fit on the screen properly.
-Retroarch from the Software Store opens, but neither fits on the screen or accepts touch-screen keyboard inputs.

Has anyone else found games that are playable? If anyone else is interested I might look into making a spreadsheet or database that can be updated as progress gets made.
