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. 😎

The Wi-Fi driver on the #PineTab2 appears to be much more stable now. Kernel 6.15.2 coming soon. Stay tuned!

@alexeymin Hi, sorry for the late reply.

The PineStore has stopped producing the PineBook Pro since around the beginning of the year. I'm not certain if that goes for individual replacement components as well. I'll ask in the morning.

@duncan_bayne they haven't been on sale for many years. We don't run the PineStore website, but I'll let them know.

decided to write a guide on how to mainline the rest of the patches for the pinephone pro: https://forum.mainlining.org/t/upstream-pinephone-pro-patches/138

no programming experience required (well maybe just a tad)! just a willingness to learn. also you need the pinephone pro to be able to mainline :P

Upstream Pinephone Pro Patches!

This is a noob-friendly guide on how to mainline patches to mainline linux for the pinephone pro (short form: ppp). This should help you get your first patch into the Linux kernel! Any questions? Ask away! What does “mainlining” mean exactly? An Android or Linux device usually has some drivers to make peripherals (eg. touchscreen, battery, etc.) work. The problem is that these devices usually run an outdated Linux kernel. That means you are constantly rebasing and testing changes on top of main...

Upgraded all of my working arm64 #postmarketOS devices to the latest #phosh #systemd edge! Also wrote a small script to do all my preferred app installs and some configurations (my custom squeekboard layout, autostart TouchpadEmulator, set default scaling to 200%) to make reinstalling less painful.

Been working on a #Kirby watchface for the Pine64 Pinetime, and I gotta say, I'm pretty proud of the unstable mess I've made considering I don't know anything about C++.

I know, many have been asking for this and even more out there didn’t even dare to ask.

But finally, the wait is over:

You can now use your #PinephonePro running #FreeBSD to do all your #Borland C++ #OS2 development while waiting for 1997 to arrive.

Nemomobile in May 2025

In the past month, several improvements have been made across the Nemo ecosystem to accommodate recent changes in the Kremium API. A number of core applications were updated, the lock screen experience was significantly enhanced, and support for UI scaling was improved. […]

@CalcProgrammer1 you have set the standard good sir. I will strive to achieve such a level of setup and organisation.

@CalcProgrammer1 have you got it running on an iPhone?
Show threadAdam HonseJun 4
@ZiesMcDoom I haven't tried, but I believe there is early, hacky support for some older iPhones. Problem seems to be that they can't be permanently flashed yet AFAIK, the postmarketOS Linux kernel has to be externally booted each powerup from what I've read due to having to use a bootloader exploit. All the devices I have have an unlocked bootloader.

@CalcProgrammer1 Nice! I've been itching to play with PostmarketOS on a phone for a while - if you had to suggest one that's close enough to "daily driver" use, what would you choose?
Show threadAdam HonseJun 4
@JonnyJest OnePlus 6/6T is the one to get right now. Good overall support and performance.

@CalcProgrammer1 I am planning to install #postmarketos soon on a alcatel tab 10 and some reasonable defaults would be great. Could you share the link to the script?

Kinda tailored to my specific use though, lots of developer stuff, my own keyboard layout, etc.

@CalcProgrammer1 What is the name of the tablet you displayed here. I have tested most of the rest.

@CalcProgrammer1 Thanks for your reply. How it working in comparison to OnePlus 6T or similar devices? What's not working?
Show threadAdam HonseJun 5
@tradasia Main things not working are cameras, microphones, stereo mode for speakers, and the wireless charging for the pen. Everything else is pretty much working.
Show threadShah Nawaz LodhiJun 5
@CalcProgrammer1 Good as expected. How charging the pen?
Show threadAdam HonseJun 5
@tradasia Unfortunately, the only way seems to be to flash Android. Maybe we can get it to boot using fastboot and twrp without removing pmOS, but the stock kernel needs to be booted to charge the pen until someone ports over the charger driver from downstream.

@CalcProgrammer1 Hmm. Thanks
