I'm using PINE64 Community Edition: UBports Limited Edition Linux and I wonder if there is a way to increase the storage? For now, the storage is ONLY 16 Giga, which seems to be toooooo little.

Thank you

First tries with my new RockPro64.

Flashed Manjaro ARM 20.06 on an SD card and ayufan's latest stable release bionic-minimal-rockpro64-0.9.14-1159-armhf on another SD card.
Both of them work just fine.

While in Manjaro, I flashed the same Manjaro image to eMMC, which Linux sees as /dev/mmcblk1.
Shutdown, removed SD card and reboot.
The board does not boot from eMMC.
It boots fine from Manjaro SD card when eMMC module is present.

Tried the same thing in Bionic, flashing the same Bionic image to eMMC.
Again the board does not boot from eMMC, but boots all right from Bionic SD card with the eMMC module present.

Then I flashed the SPI using the instructions from https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...ash-spi.md with the latest release of flash_spi.img.
The eMMC module was removed during the SPI flashing process.
Same result, the board still does not boot from eMMC.

Last thing I flashed the SPI again using the instructions from https://github.com/sigmaris/u-boot/wiki/...oot-to-SPI.
This did not help either: boot from eMMC is not happening, while boot works like a charm from any SD with the eMMC present.

SW4 is open (no jumper).

What am I doing wrong?
How do I get the board to boot from eMMC?

I try to build some other WM or DE, some of you already tried them.
As i build for myself i can push archives for testing, this post is to share the links.

Just ask if a link expire.

When I click on + to choose one of my contacts in chats (chatty) . Chats never initializes a chat dialog but instead goes back to the main choose a contact screen again. If someone texts me first it works just fine. I'm just unable to start a chat myself.

HI all,

When I tried UBports, the phone was more or less cold, but with Mobian it gets hot persistently, is it OK?

hello guys ! 
I've been looking for a method to write a uboot compatible image of Ubuntu , 

trying (failing ) to follow this 

installing other ARM64 distributions
Warning: Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable. This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.

Note: This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from PINE64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.

If you would like to see specific commands for how to complete these steps, see https://github.com/nikhiljha/pp-fedora-sdsetup

(an example for Fedora) or https://xnux.eu/howtos/install-arch-linux-arm.html

(an example for Arch Linux).

Create a boot (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and root (from 252 MB to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.
Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with f2fs.
Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files (in archive mode: like rsync -ar).
Edit /etc/fstab to match your partitions.
Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/

(you probably want 5.6 or later).
Follow the README instructions, which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs and writing u-boot and the bootloader.
(https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PinePhone_Software_Releases

with no luck , have you succeded trying to write other images than posted on 

I've seen that Rpi 3 and 4 uses similar Uboot stuff but no clear how I can create a boot and appropriate IMG for the pinephone 
as you can see I am very new to this , hope you can share some

I'm currently using an old Kensington trackball with my PBP. It works great, but several times a day, it doesn't work correctly; It will either get stuck, select text (even though don't select anything, or some fields on a website won't work like clicking on a checkbox). 

In order to fix it, I have to tap my trackpad. After that, everything works well for hours. This issue happens several times a day.

I've tried multiple fixes from the wiki and I'm using the factory version of Manjaro. I've also tried using a different USB port and turning off the trackpad using Fn+F7. No difference.

uname -a:

Linux pinehost 5.7.6-1-MANJARO-ARM #1 SMP Fri Jun 26 18:30:57 PDT 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Any tips?

This might sound like a daft question but please humour me. I installed the latest nightly ie 27th and was wondering do the software / updates that get installed cover future updates or do we still have to reflash new nightlies ?

Told you it was a daft question.

Our work-in-progress PineTime Companion App for Android and iOS now talks to PineTime over Bluetooth LE to fetch and display the firmware versions. Find out how we use the Bloc Library to manage state in the Flutter app.

Hi everyone. Finally my pinephone has arrived. Seems to be working well, I only have 3 questions.
1. The camera does not work, is it normal? Is it a known bug?

2. I can't activate developer mode. Why?

3. I am unable to send files from ubuntu to the pinephone via bluetooth, even if the two devices are properly connected.

Anyone know how I can solve my problems? Thank you
