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, just click on this link.

Default username is "debian" with password "1234"; default root password is "root".

@harvey186 has started a list of working/non-working apps, you can view and edit it here.

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!

Downloaded to SD card and a lot of the stuff just works....
 Phone voice calls !
    Can hear and be heard !
   Could use a little more volume, and speaker phone is not working yet.
   Texting works !
        Needs a little refining,  but it does Function.

   Tried to do a 'software Update'  and it seemed to hang at 39%  ?
    (Phone is getting 'HOT'  screen blacked-out,  I will give it a few more minutes, then may need to do hard reset pulling battery)

add :
Did a hard reset, and it seems to be stuck at the start-up screen...
but Debian does do it's update downloads at the start-up screen, sooo perhaps it is still 'updating' ?

to be continued....
