Nemo is back!
#1
Nemo mobile is back after some time in the wilderness looking for a new base OS...which turns out to be Manjaro. In the process it has moved even further away from sailfishos, while still sharing some UI and navigation.
You can download images from https://img.nemomobile.net/ or from https://github.com/jmlich/nemo-images/releases.
Read the blogs at https://nemomobile.net/ for more info; telegram group: https://t.me/NemoMobile
Currently working: see the list at https://nemomobile.net/pages/status-matrix/
Apps can be installed using pacman or flatpak but may not scale well.
Overall Nemo is currently at the level many of the other OSs were at when the pinephone came out, but has the advantage that it's a real mobile OS, not a hacked desktop. Development will hopefully be much quicker as solutions are borrowed from the other OSs.

Tried out the latest image booted from SD, really like this, it now boots up and shuts down reliably and cleanly, Like that the pin lock screen is off by default unlike most other distros, as it should be especially when testing.

Also like the pop up shutdown dialog when the power button is held down.

As soon as we can update on the device I will stick with this, it is my favorite and really is nice visually. Heart

I like the layout more then others so far. My phone will not use the phone data at all tho. It will work through wifi. When I go to network and switch it to LTE, as soon as i leave that setup it will return back to gsm. What am I missing?
Thank You for any help.

I loaded this up today, I really liked it but being a noob I'm still trying to work out how to get my podcasts to show up.

Tried the Nemo for the first time, I have to admit that it's the best UI I've seen on the pinephone so far (it's uncomparably faster/smoother than other UIs even though I'm running it from SD card), I also like the gestures. I did download the 0.7 version, but unfortunately I couldn't test much because:
- I cannot turn on WiFi (after enabling via settings, the button returns back to off on its own)
- terminal is messed up it seems that the keyboard is not scaled well (eg. I don't see Enter button)
- checking the Cellular data in Settings it just says that "SIM cards unavailable" (even though it works in other PP distros)

Quirks I have noted:
- screen orientation is broken in some apps (orientation is reversed e.g in terminal app when I flip the PP)
- it happens very often that my gestures/actions when touching the screen are not captured at all, even multiple times in a row which is pretty annoying

any advices to what I did wrong are welcome. I'd be mainly interested to make WiFi and Cellular working to test more.

You did probably everything right. The Wifi sometimes doesn't work because of low battery level. DPI in terminal was fixed after 0.7 release. Cellular data doesn't work for me either. I have finally bought new sim card to debug it on my own. The landscape mode is really broken. I have notice some glitches with gestures, but I considered it to be an issue of my braveheart.
The Cellular data may be affected by fact that Nemo is using ofono. Others are using ModemManager which should more stable for pinephone.
