debian+phosh running on PinePhone

[bcnaz]

Hi there!

As a long-time debian user, and being quite impressed with the looks of the Librem 5 software, I've been hacking a debian-based image for the Pinephone.
It uses phosh as the UI, packed with a few apps (not all are usable on the phone's screen)

Don't expect more from it than any other Pinephone distro out there can deliver, most features don't work yet and the phone feels really slow, but I believe this is a good starting point, as the display, touchscreen and wifi work (mostly) fine

For those wanting to try it out, here are the links:

• Image file
  
• bmap file
  

More details (and the debos recipes used to build this image) can be found on gitlab.
Contributions are more than welcome

Finally, kudos to the "low level software" team for the awesome work on the kernel and bootloader!

 NICE FIND, 
        The wifi & browser work fairly well,  the interface seems pretty intuitive...

        I managed to navigate to the forum with this, the phone is getting pretty warm so it is probably in need of better power management ?

         BUT, Heck Yeah this seems a fairly worthy competitor in the OS arena !

        Getting to the forum was simple but actually navigating the forum is challenging in 'Portrait' mode only.

          SO I will say this is in the Top Ten for me.

      Thank You for posting this  !

AWW !

This is 32 bit NOT 64

But I did find the manual 'ROTATE' that was a plus
