The recovery from suspend problem seems "fixed on my original Pine phones", only my Explorer Pro w/Mobian is not recovering.
I currently have Arch/Phosh on my Pro and it recovers almost instantly.
No O.S. I have tried yet on the Pro shows a green boot light ?
Arch uses the vibrate as a boot indicator.... but no boot indicator light.
The phones read speed of the emmc is about 7 times faster than its read speed of the sd cards.
The sd cards are fantastic for test driving, but for performance the emmc is the way to go for longer term use.
I installed Tow-Boot to my PPP's SPI, I run Arch from the SD card, and I removed U-Boot and the factory OS volumes from the eMMC. Green boot light seems to work fine for me. Probably because there is no longer any reason to hold the Volume Down button while pressing the Power button (which I believe does return a blue LED and a short vibration, when using Tow-Boot), in order to boot from the SD. Which the phone will default to, with the eMMC wiped. You just hold the Power button for a sec and the phone wakes right up, or powers on, if it was off. This is just "as I understand it to be". If I've mis-stated something here, anyone can please feel free to correct me.
