What software has changed a lot: that which comes installed in the phone memory? Please provide details.
I am unfamiliar with the term eg25-g. Is eg25-g essentially the bios/cmos firmware of the phone? What are the versions of eg25-g that are available and for what reason do they exist?
not going on small details but this gives some kind of idea https://images.mobian-project.org/pinephonepro/weekly/ , it's for pp pro. generally speaking packages get updated all a time. other operating systems go similar way. maybe this also gives some idea what's going on https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-arm-...pro/104120 .
eg25-g is a modem chip inside of pinephone (pro). which basically includes mini system, can operate independently from the pinephone's operating system. for official stock firmware https://github.com/Biktorgj/quectel_eg25_recovery . for partially free firmware https://github.com/Biktorgj/pinephone_modem_sdk .
