Hello all, my husband mentioned this phone as an alternative to Android.  I am curious as to the root/adminstration capabilities as well as encryption.  I read the information on the hardware specs, but didn't see anything about the software abilities.  Any links to said information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

The pinned guide says to go to updates > update settings, but when I do that, all I see is Auto download and Reinstall all apps. I just updated everything and restarted. Has the process changed?

I'm really impressed with what the team pulled off here (Just received my CE PP).

Hardware wise it looks fantastic. Software will catchup I'm sure!

Took a long time to get it but I probably picked a cheaper shipping option or something.

It's totally the best "nerd gear" I've gotten to put my hands on in years. Thank you so much for doing this!

Hi

I installed ssh and samba and they work fine. No problems to communicate with the phone.

However, to be able to connect via ssh or samba, the screen has to be on. If phone is left unattended, screens turn black and communication stops.

is phone sleeping when the screen turns black? I checked in Power settings, and the Black screen can be modified. This should only save energy for the screen but not sleep the phone, or does it?

ok, so i downloaded kali linux for pinebook pro and it works very good. except the problem that my mouse buttons switched. i tried to change it at the
settings but it didn't worked.. do you know why?

Hello, it's my first post, I hope that it's correct topic. 
I start the smartphone after charge battery and when i try to start camera it's don't working both front either rear, when i start the app the screen  become black and the "button" to take pictures doesn' t function.
The phone arrived with pre-installed Ubuntu touch I ask to someone what can i do to verify the funcionality of Camera?? 
Or how to check if it's a software problem?

Thank you.

In the Wiki https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=...Pro_images
there are couple of Debian / Armbian images listed.
Are any of these pure 32 bit ARM ?

thanks

Hi All: I have ported 3 flavours of PineTime Firmware to GitHub Actions...

1. FreeRTOS (see the workflow)

2. RIOT OS with Rust (see the workflow)

3. Mynewt OS with Rust (see the workflow)

This means that any of us may fork these repos, update the source code, and GitHub will automatically build the PineTime Firmware for us. All in the GitHub Cloud, free of charge :-)

After hanging out in the PineTime Chatroom for a while, I realised that many people have problems building our PineTime firmware (especially on Windows). Hope this solves the firmware build problem for newcomers. And it also lets us compare logs to troubleshoot the build.
