New user. Very excited as this is my first linux phone...have a few questions
#3
Thanks Anna! I cleared the bootloader using the wiki instructions and was able to boot to the Manjaro-Phosh that I had loaded onto an sdcard. That helped on battery life, but waking from sleep was still a problem so I loaded tow-boot into SPI flash this morning and trying that out, however the bootloader reloaded Manjaro-ARM from emmc and is still killing the battery as fast as it possibly can.

I want to DD my pinephone so bad, but without MMS support and the mic being nearly unusable I am going to just wait for PostmarketOS to come available for the pro (I read you can use pmbootstrap to load it, but haven't gotten that working yet).

Stock, OE Manjaro-ARM is hot garbage though...not only does the battery not last more than 30 minutes, but Authenticator app doesn't work, cant get email app working either. Manjaro Phosh does good with both, but PostmarketOS seems to have far less bugs than the stock OS does.

Got keyboard and mouse working via my Lenovo usb-c hub, but hdmi output didn't function (this was attempted via Manjaro-ARM and not Phosh...I hope I'm getting these terms right [if not, correct me!]). Is there a proper dock I can use other than the Pine64 branded one?
