Phosh - Tweaks and Customizing

[mikehenson]

I have been daily driving a PinePhone with Arch Linux and Phosh for over a year now. I wanted to make a post with my tweaks.

Device: PinePhone 32Gig
OS: Arch Linux Arm with Phosh
Phosh version 0.22 (EDIT: 0.22-0.23)


phosh - scaling

Code:

sudo mkdir /etc/phosh/
sudo cp /usr/share/phosh/phoc.ini /etc/phosh/
sudo nano /etc/phosh/phoc.ini
# Un comment the DSI-1 output section:
[output:DSI-1]
scale = 2
# Change scale to desired value (ex: scale = 1.5 means 150%)
# Save and reboot

phosh - Mount SD
This should automatically done with portfolio-file-manager

Code:

sudo pacman -S portfolio-file-manager

Code:

#OLD WAY
sudo mkdir /home/SD
sudo chmod 777 /home/SD
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/SD/

phosh - squeekboard - Custom Layout

Code:

# see https://github.com/mikeshenson/Phosh-Squeekboard-Keyboard

phosh - App filter

Code:

OFF
gsettings set sm.puri.phosh app-filter-mode '[]'
ON
gsettings set sm.puri.phosh app-filter-mode '["adaptive"]'

Code:

# This can also be done with
sudo pacman -S danctnix-tweaks-app-phosh

phosh - Remove the vibrate on button press
#remove all unwanted sections
