Just a suggestion or rather asking if this has been already considered: a simple 3dof VR headset made by Pine64 that can work as a passthrough SteamVR device with outside in head tracking similar to the PSVR?

This open source project could be a starting point:
https://www.relativty.com/

Although I suspect it being easier to source the mechanical parts from one of the many Chinese cheap phone VR case vendors.

http://www.openhmd.net/ and Monado could be used software side.

And since Google made Cardboard VR fully open source it might be a good way to get some simple VR video watching or FPS drone flying working in stand alone mode via a RockPro SBC as a belt attached compute box?

Add some stereo cameras and it might even be possible to do some basic hand tracking or inside out head tracking in the future

Would be a cool addition to the growing Pine64 device ecosystem.

I want to try an older version of Android for the ROck64, 4.4.4 or Android 5? 

Are there any old old versions available?

Received my PinePhone earlier this week.

I flashed mobian onto the eMMC last night. This morning, the phone had a solid green light, and would not boot. The LED stays green and would not boot.

Found the test*.img, and ran it.

Everything passes, except the "Flash to eMMC".

not sure what to do at this point. Any other ideas?

I've played with my UBPorts install by mounting RW and going to town with apt-get, so now that I've learned a thing or two I'd like to revert to the base UBPorts image, maybe even adjust it to fill the available storage.

I can easily download and flash other OSes to SD and boot up on them, but I don't see instructions to install/revert the builtin eMMC.  Any pointers or links?

My Pinephone arrived today.
Unfortunately, its speakers and microphone are broken. Everything that goes through the mic sounds muffled and grainily distorted. Words are positively unintelligible through the earpiece.

Could this be due to bad wiring? Is it something I could troubleshoot/fix?

I've been having a heck of a time with it. I've been following these instructions, but the PineTab isn't behaving like the PinePhone (won't boot to screen on, but black, for the flash-sd.sh step.)

Turns out I needed to run chmod 775 * on everything in the images folder. Didn't realize that.

Is there a difference in the steps for the PineTab I'm not aware of, or does anyone have a fresh SD img they'd be willing to share? I swear I've seen reports of the support being there, and some already booting it.

Trying the .img from v0.2.0 now, but it seems to be in a loop. The backlight(s) come on for a few seconds, then shutoff, rinse, wash, repeat.

the v0.2.0 img didn't show any video, after fixing the file permissions for the release files from the Glodroid repo, I was able to get a card made for v0.4.0, but that had the same issues with no display. I want to try grabbing the 'next' branch for a more recent update, but I don't have the room typically required to build Android. Neither the built-in display, no HDMI out worked.

I received my Pinetab with keyboard yesterday. I had hoped that the software would be a little more mature, more usable; unfortunately, it's not. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Pine64. I just don't want to spend the next few months installing, testing, and re-installing.

$149. I'l pay shipping. US only.

Thanks.

Just got my Pinetab, seriously impressed with build quality and usability out of the box, but has anyone had success with libertine?  I just started poking around it and I'm looking for good sources of information on lxc and lxd containers.  I could be missing something but I've been trying to get FireFox to work with little success as of yet.  I'm going to spend a bit of time on it today to see what I can sort out from the console output.

I've been doing the preliminary research, and am a little concerned because I read on one of the other posts that the phone might not be supported in the US at all.

Can anyone confirm?

What's the best resource, for reading and research, as far as walking me through the setup process?

Thanks, fam!
