Having previously only owned a Braveheart I had expected to be on my own for any "add-ons". Otherwise still the just about the same packaging.
Played with the installed AOSP 9 until I realized it was without gps. Didn't check cellular, but that may also be isolated from the factory installed AOSP.
Nuked factory AOSP as directed in https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_P...stallation
"The phone will freeze and then the screen will go blank", I expected the screen to actually blank, instead the apps disappeared and the status bar time froze but the screen remained on with wallpaper displayed. 10 minutes later rebooted into Arch. Greeted with what seemed like a much longer and stronger vibration than the PP.
Everything runs super smooth and responsively. However, having tried Arch, pmOS, and Mobian, only Mobian was able to power on and connect the EG25. Seems like there may be a bad config in Arch, didn't dig into pmOS.
Sms and phone calls work on Verizon, and with the added hardware improvements the PPP is well worth it. If the PP was just barely useable as a DD, the PPP is very useable as a DD.
Sounds good. 1 question: Do you have boot arch from sdcard and do you have try to flash this to the eMMC?
