Dedicated Chat and Phone.
#1
Greetings folks,
After reading plenty of issues related to sound and phone I thought I might suggest a possible solution for Pine64 staff to consider. Since Android devices work excellent as phones but not so great as data devices whereas PinePhone works excellent with data but not so great as a phone ... why not marry the two together? Is it possible to have a PinePhone flashed from the factory with a dedicated Chat/Phone system separate from any o.s.? Further to this a system that can boot from the dedicated phone app with no other o.s. on the eMMC card? In doing so people can flash whatever o.s. they wish BUT the phone/chat system are already there preinstalled by factory and unaffected by any o.s. except where an address book is created in any Linux o.s. This way the phone will always work regardless and the sound system also dedicated to phone/chat. On the PPP we can flash tow boot to the SPI chip which I have done so I am suggesting something similar to that. So instead of a rolling update that destroys (potentially sometimes) the usability of the device a dedicated system unaffected by any update except where a flash update is released to the phone if required.
Just a suggestion to consider.
