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 ​​. 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.
