Hello,

Is it possible to install and run Android TV 8 or 9 on Rock64 ?

Thanks,
Chris

First off let me say how pleased I am with this device. 
UBPorts Ubuntu Touch seems very functional.
Interface is just easy to navigate.

I hope this subject isn't stupid as I prefer GUI interface and the actual hardware power button (switch) seems funky.
Like why should I have to hold in power button for 30 seconds < > to powerdown.
Sometimes device goes through shutdown actions just to suspend.

In Ubuntu Touch software interface I can't find shutdown nor poweroff setting.

Oh yea plugging in the usb-c charging adapter to charge the PinePhone powers phone on? What the heck am I missing.
Is that normal.

Do I have resort to terminal commands
As this is my first mobile "phone" I wish there was some very basic documentation for PinePhone like a PDF user manual.

Maybe I'm asking for too much.
Please be my community!
How to be a newb - Just ask me ... 

Hi all,

I've made a breakout board for the Pinephone's pogo pins. This might make the process of testing accessory hardware easier when it is in an early stage of development (e.g. not ready to be mounted directly to the phone).

Here is the Github repository with pictures of it installed and the KiCad source files: https://github.com/SMR404/PinephonePogoBreakout


Also, I made a Reddit post with the same (redundant) info: https://old.reddit.com/r/pinephone/comments/fa43gp/time_to_get_acquainted_with_the_expansion_port

I hope this is a help to some of you!

Hi folks,
What is the best distro as of today for the original Pinebook/1080p in terms of features available? Does hardware acceleration, suspend, wifi, etc. landed in the kernel?

It seems the major focus is the Pinebook Pro those days but I'm wonder what can be done with the original Pinebook.

Thanks.

Record18 tracks of audio onto my PBP this weekend. No plugins, just fader automation. Still, though...

Hi Guys,


Is there anyone else in the UK who has not yet received their Pinephone ?

The delivery tracking is literally not moving at all. Just wondering if there are anyone else in same position as me.

Is there a way to do a one-off boot with changes to the kernel's "command line", ideally without opening up the PBP or attaching a serial console?  Like one would do on an x86 with GRUB by editing the menu entry.

I specifically want to interrupt the boot sequence while it's still running out of the initramfs and / isn't mounted, so that I can resize the partition, but I haven't been able to find anything on here talking about the general case.

I'm using the stock Debian install on the eMMC and I don't have a micro-SD card to put another OS instance on, unfortunately.

I do not own pinebook pro (linux computer) yet so I tried to install phosh w/ a Macbook terminal


from top to buttom:

$ curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
$ sudo python3 get-pip.py
$ pip3 --version
$ pip3 install pmbootstrap

$ pmbootstrap init

$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/mmcblk0
$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sda

last two commands both generate:

[06:25:26] *** (1/5) PREPARE NATIVE CHROOT ***
[05:29:26] ERROR: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/mounts'
[05:29:26] See also: <https://postmarketos.org/troubleshooting>
Run 'pmbootstrap log' for details.

Anyone knows what i'm doing wrong?

Hello guys I want to buy Pinephone but its not possible at this moment .. So if anyone is interested selling theirs and is located in EU please contact me. I'm ready to pay the full price + all the shopping costs.
Thanks

Hi,

First of all, many thanks to whoever tried to put this image together. I am working on it as well.

However, it does not seem to let me log in (neither as the existing Linux User nor as "Not listed" using "demo").

I also notice that this installation does not seem to use the Mali400 driver, with the result that the screen elements are too big.

I have been trying to work on this as well, but am still struggling to get PMOS to start in Gnome natively.

These are the steps to replicate what I did:

1. Install 2020-02-18 phosh but DO NOT update/upgrade. Make sure your Wifi works.

2. Now install Gnome with
