As a learning experience, I've been trying to roll my own Arch Linux image. I've been cobbling together bits and pieces from the following locations while adding some bits of my own:

1. anarsoul's build scripts
   
2. Blutkoete's manual setup
   
3. hku2's manual setup
   
4. enospc's mostly upstream uboot
   

Im still digging into the interfaces and devices for the pinePhone, much of it is differnt from other systems I have messed with.
I see that acpi isnt a module here, but psci is. I would like to know if I can query psci to get battery charge info.
alternatively, a method for getting battery life info would be helpful.

yes, I see the applet for battery life. where is that source code?

I don't have much use for mine. Ready to give this guy a new home. $220+shipping.

I run PostmarketOS with plasma-mobile UI.

I have 2 browser installed :
- Firefox
- Angelfish

1- Firefox is running quite well, specially with the customization found here. However, I struggle to find a way to get a virtual keyboard running (the virtual keyboard from the distro do not show up when placing the cursor in a text field.

2- I can't run Angelfish : it launches, but impossible to load a page. I got this error :

Hey, y'all - I decided to download the 3d model of the pinephone's back cover as linked to from the wiki and give it a go through my 3d printer to see what happened.

Of course, I've only got a tiny printer, so I had to print it standing on it's side edge to get it to fit on the print bed.

The print quality wasn't high enough to actually use on my phone (I printed in PLA with 0.2mm layers for these initial attempts, will switch to a more appropriate material eventually) but it came close!

Here's a jumpy timelapse video of the case being printed that I posted to the fediverse last night:

Has anyone gotten a good enough print to use on their phone yet? I'd love to hear about it!

I have started to document my Ubuntu Touch setup process as I learn how this system works.  I have have had the phone about a week now and I am trying to gather information from many different resources into one place for my own reference and also hope this may help others.

Also it is very important to note that Ubuntu Touch comes with an SSH server running by default on your phone.  So I have come up with some instruction on hardening your SSH server setup and scripts to easily enable and disable the service as needed.

Please feel free to share and make comments.  I still have lots of things to work on and add as I get them fully working (cell calls, sms, firewall, trying apps).

With the latest Feb. update post now live, could we receive some news regarding this last batch of Braveheart units that didn't get shipped?

Quick refresher from this thread

01-29-2020, 10:59 PM (This post was last modified: 01-29-2020, 11:02 PM by tllim.)

During Jan 18 when shipping team, including me, wrap up the PinePhone shipment, we discovered there is about 80 units that lacking shipping label. Based on the quantity, shipping team believes that there is one batch (about 80 units) that logistic didn't provide the shipping label info. However, the logistic team already left work for the Chinese New Year, we don't know which batch (within certain date range, not certain country) got affected and can only know when logistic and shipping team back from Chinese New Year (has been extended due to Coronavirus crisis). Based on recent response, I believes the affected batch is the last batch (from January 5 order till sold out). Please noted that this is a not random miss shipment scenario. Once back from the Chinese New New Year/Chronavirus Crisis period and Hong Kong open back the broader, shipping team will immediately ship out this missed batch.

In the February update it's called out that -

Sadly, this isn’t the entire extent of the problem; as I’ve already mentioned, all devices which contain batteries ship from Hong Kong. Earlier this month Hong Kong closed many key crossings to the region from mainland China, including the one which we rely on, and now there is a 2-week long quarantine for anyone arriving from mainland China to Hong Kong. This means that our shipping staff can’t reach the Hong Kong warehouse. 

So, then, what does all this mean in practice? It means that we cannot produce anything this month and, even if we could, there is no way for us to ship any devices with batteries.

Emphasis mine. Since these 80 units are packed with batteries and ready to go do they have a chance at shipping? Or is the shut down + quarantine going to impact these as well moving forward since they are not on mainland China and therefor not considered backlog (like the Feb. update post mentions will still being going out).

Given the nature of the shutdown safety should be the priority, with these units being in a unique situation and not being expressly addressed I wanted to see if we could get some official word one way or another however.

I had to wait an extra week and pay $15 because of the lies on the content declaration.

Why were there lies on the package about it's content and no one was informed about it?

The phone obviously isn't $25 and most definitely isn't a gift.

Where is the source code for the postmarket OS that ships on the pine phone.
Specifically, I want to look at the hardware test page that comes up for factory testing.

can I get the hardware addresses of Pine Phones devices?
I have tried sudo cat /proc/ioports
and some other commands that might work on more standard Ubuntu distros. this isnt a distro specific question, I just want the hardware addresses for the devices such as the motor, rgb LED, gps, acellerometer etc.
