The first Pinephone (braveheart) phone
Notes
First testing image can be found here: (TODO)
What you can do with this image:
- Run any applications in Debian and Devuan on your phone
- Connect to wifi
- (With not yet finished userspace) connect to 2G/3G/4G data connections
- Develop for Maemo Leste and work on applications that interface with modems
TODO mention/link to:
- usb peripheral
Note that:
- Virtual keyboard should work in all gtk2 applications (not yet in gtk3 and qt, but this is coming).
- Some rendering bugs in portrait mode remain, so the default desktop orientation is landscape for now.
- Screen brightness adjustments in UI do not work on the Pinephone yet.
- Performance is not bad, but will get better, with hildon-desktop optimisations and as lima improves.
- We are not shipping the latest Pinephone kernel yet (feel free to work on that, or anything above!)
- many "games" packages in the Application Manager don't work well yet
- For some reason the X cursor is still shows (usually it's hidden)
