This is really not a good practice. I see that that there are plenty LCD matrix compatible with pine64, but the digitizer TPs have a different pinout so wont match the TP port on Pine64. It would have been easier if you used the usually available stuff on aliexpress n such sites in china or atleast point us to something which we can just buy off the shelf rather than waiting for your manufacturer.
Agree with desai_amogh and would like to add: Pine64 is one of very view boards with MIPI DSI FPC interface. This is really an advantage. And there are quite nice and reasonably priced smartphone "replacement" LCDs on aliexpress with (2- or 4-lane) DSI interface (Searchterm on aliexpress: lcd replacement). It could be a real push for Pine64 to offer some FPC to FPC adapters supporting some of those. It looks like display industry and dealers only supply smartphone replacement displays with latest technology (AMOLED, good viewing angle, high contrast .. ). Displays for maker-boards are too low volume for display industry and often are highly priced and made out of aged technology.
