Alright, it's time to finally start using this account.

For those that are unaware, we moved from Fosstodon to TH.S on April 26, 2025 and we haven't posted anything on this account since then.. until now.

A quick introduction, we're the maintainer of an Arch-based distribution for #PinePhone, #PinePhonePro and #PineTab2 and our latest release (at the time of this toot) was in December last year (it's been that long, huh)

This account will be used to post updates and news about that distribution.

Thanks treehouse.systems team for letting us in. 😎

Tested the latest #GNOME #Snapshot on #postmarketOS on my #PINE64 #PinePhonePro! It's been a while since I revisited the PinePhonePro but with cameras and camera utilities coming a long way on newer devices I wanted to revisit #libcamera on the PinePhones. I installed @NekoCWD's cameractrl and it successfully controls focus, but the PPP camera seems to have autoexposure that reduces the utility of cameractrl's exposure slider. Anyways, here's a picture of some other postmarketOS devices.

Continued thread

Just a reminder about the meetup in Christchurch, New Zealand on February 26.
The topic is Linux Mobile and I (Dan) will bring 4 devices:

#OnePlus6
- OS: #postmarketOS | Environment: #plasmamobile

#PinephonePro
- OS: postmarketOS | Environment: #gnomemobile
- OS on SD card: #Mobian | Environment: #phosh

#Pinephone (braveheart + upgraded motherboard)
- OS: #Archlinux | Environment: #sxmo

Pinephone (braveheart)
- OS/Environment: #UbuntuTouch

#digitalemuendigkeit with #debian on smartphones, aka #mobian . I was suprised that over 20 people joined yesterdays meetup and some brought their #linuxphones with them. People played around with #phosh #kdeplasma #mobian #postmarketos #Fairphone5 ..
Also thanks @awai for the #pinephonepro rental. It was used to present the slides and was flashed with #mobian trixie. People could choose between #lomiri, #phosh and #kdeplasma in the login manager.

would anybody else be interested in an 18650 battery case for the #pinephone / #pinephonepro? i did the math, you could fit at least 6, probably 8 cells on the back without covering the cameras. 3500mah cells * 9 (including internal) would get you over 30000mah, or about 100wh with a standard 3.7V cell. that's several days of screen on time.

sure, it might be a bit chunky, but i think it'd be awesome. theoretically it could charge with the phone's builtin port too thanks to the pogo pins.

Outgoing call quality is terrible. "Sounds like you are standing next to a waterfall". Tried following this and this advice and modified /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/PinePhonePro/VoiceCall.conf:

cset "name='IN1 Boost' 0"
cset "name='IN2 Boost' 0"
cset "name='IN3 Boost' 0"
That didn't work so I tried reducing mic volume in sxmo menu to 5%. "I still hear static but it is a lot better. I can hear my own voice echo back to me".
I followed
this advice and set
cset "name='ADC Capture Volume' 0"
Still having background static noise as well as echo. Very odd as I would have thought setting capture volume to 0 would have had zero input but it is still picking up too much.

This thread will be about my experiments with my new #pinePhonePro.
I got it yesterday and had a few minor hurdles out of the gate. I followed instructions on the wiki but couldn't get it to boot into
#sailfishOS. I don't remember what I did differently but after a few attempts it booted fine. I immediately wanted to replace sailfish but first checked that sms and calls worked fine and it did (though took a while to receive the first call).
I flashed
#postmarketOS with #PlasmaMobile to an sd card and tried booting from it but quickly realised I had missed a step ​:shinx_facepalm:​. The wiki said I had to install #towboot to the SPI so I did that. After following the instructions properly this time I installed the OS successfully. I found Plasma extremely sluggish and unresponsive so quickly moved on. The next OS I flashed was postmarketOS again but this time with #sxmo and I immediately fell in love with the interface.
After that I went to sleep as it had been a long day and was getting late. This morning I flashed postmarketos with sxmo to the eMMC and will be tinkering with it today. Ill update this post with comments about my progress.
