| File transfer from Linux Desktop and PinePhone |

Does anybody know a way to transfer files from a Linux desktop (POP OS 20.04) to the PinePhone using Mobian? The desktop doesn't recognize the PinePhone when connected through USB and I haven't been able to figure out how to transfer files.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

| Alternative icons? |

I saw people installing different icons, which is a pretty cool bit of customization.
I was wondering, is there a way to set a different icon-sets from UI or does that have to be done from CLI?

I am not sure when this stated working.
I checked yesterday and the menu entry was enabled, so I gave it a try.
It worked flawlessly. I connected three debian devices and did apt-get upgrades. Not once the connection was dropped and speed was around 1Mb/s. With my previous android based phone this was a nightmare: connections were dropped randomly, download speed was sluggish.
Again thank you for making this real.

| Proximity / ambient light sensor |

Going off into my thoughts in the flashlight app thread I have been trying to see where the proximity /light sensor is being monitored to blank the screen if covered. I have not yet found where this is but suspect it is programmed within phosh/phoc. I was hoping to add a section to this where if the light level is above the threshold to blank the screen but below another threshold it would change the gtk theme to a dark variant.
After spending some time looking and not finding, I thought it might be done with an udev rule like:
Code: # Set the theme based on light level
ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="iio", KERNEL=="iio:device1", ATTR{in_illuminance_raw}=="[0-9]|[0-9][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/su mobian -c /usr/local/bin/set-dark-theme"
Where set-dark-theme contains
Code: #!/bin/sh
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Adwaita-dark
Of course doing only this would need a manual reset; but it should be good enough for testing...
Unfortunately the event does not trigger when the light level changes, only when the sensor is added as far as udev is concerned. This works by restarting udev which is nice, but does not really help anything.
Next I thought to hook into the lock screen unlock where a script would run to check the value in /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device1/in_illuminance_raw and set the theme accordingly. (If you had an incorrect theme pressing the power button and unlocking would switch it) Tried a few spots that I thought might hook into the lock screen but without success.
It is probably not the best idea to constantly probe. However as a proof of concept, a simple bash script. (Most visible difference with gnome-clocks and the flashlight app)
Code: #!/bin/sh
while : ; do
reading=`cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device1/in_illuminance_raw`
if [ "$reading" -lt "100" ]; then
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Adwaita-dark
while : ; do
reading=`cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device1/in_illuminance_raw`
if [ "$reading" -gt "100" ]; then
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Adwaita
break;
fi
sleep 10;
done
sleep 10;
fi
done
Any information/pointers to bring this past a looping bash script?

I am on T-Mobile here in the US. It is actually a bit hilarious. I can make calls on 3G and texts on 4G. I have to move back and forth to use either function. Does anyone have any ideas getting my phone to use each function on the same setting?
I was able to get a Gmail app installed finally. The settings still will not allow me to set up any portion of my google account. I have installed version 75 of the software.
I want to see if anyone has any remedy to my above mentioned issues.
Also, please let me know what other issues you may be having.

Mobian Nightly Release 20200707
Camera is WORKING on the "out of the Box" software, pictures are not high resolution, but not bad.
Is there a GUI method to add these pictures to my outgoing SMS text messages ?
I did accidentally put a picture of my son, as my sisters text avatar icon.
Thanks, BC

| Pinebook Pro sleep issue (hinge?) |

I have a 2020 PBP running Manjaro Linux it shipped with. If I do not close the lid completely (leave a half inch gap) the pinebook sleeps as expected. However If I close the lid completly the pinebook screen comes back on and stays on. Is the hinge sensor misaligned perhaps? can this be adjusted manually by removing the bottom plate?

Hi fellas,
I've had KDE installed via eMMC for a few months now. I hadn't fired it up in awhile. Now at the login screen, when I enter my password and hit ENTER or the click on the LOGIN button, nothing happens.
Any ideas on how to fix this, and can I even get to a terminal to work some magic on the backend?
