Pine64-Arch VS plasma-mobile

Phone has Tow-boot and the open-source modem firmware already installed. eMMC & sdcard have just been formatted & flashed to the latest Arch Phosh image from danctnix.

I flashed my pinephone pro with an arch-sxmo image (here: https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/releases), and it works great, but I can't seem to switch the autologin to a new user. In fact, I couldn't find a conf file, neither in /etc/conf.d/, neither in /etc/tinydm.d/env-wayland/. I added a "tinydm" file in both directories, containing the line "AUTOLOGIN_UID=1001" (1001 is the userid I want to log in at boot), but to no avail. Any suggestion?

The keyboard is an important detail! Given the state of the PinePhone Pro, and that you want to use keyboard, have a look at DanctNIX Sxmo https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/releases .

I was using the danctnix arch build running Phosh - https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/releases

At the time (about 10 months ago) it was the most solid I could find. I'm a little out of date at this point, but I'll probably check back in on it some time in the next few months.

And I agree - even at the time it was a usable phone. A tad slow for my tastes, but hard to argue with the performance given the low cost of the hardware.

For comparison: Here‘s the (IMHO sane) DanctNIX PKGBUILD: https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/blob/master/PKGBUILDS/phosh/phosh/PKGBUILD

Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephonepro-factory-20220529.img.xz

I tried flashing Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephonepro-20220311.img.xz from this page and then I tried Arch Linux ARM but I don't have the link readily available.

So probably Manjaro Plamo. Try this image.

That's the old location for the stable images. This is the current: https://github.com/manjaro-pinephone/plasma-mobile

Autorotate does not work for me for far on Mobian plasma either I am currently running the Beta3 https://github.com/manjaro-pinephone/plasma-mobile/releases/tag/beta3 really for me right now autorotate and resizing issues (I like Mobian but it seems that some apps don't work well with either 100 or 200%) are what I'm dealing with right now. To reiterate in Manjaro Plasma I have found the autorotate button and turned it off and back on again so am looking for any possible terminal configurations people have found to adjust before contacting Pine and investigating any hardware issues. I will admit I don't know my way around plasma very well so it could be something simple, I mean I haven't even found the gui button to turn it off so I have been typing poweroff in the terminal to turn the phone off in plasma. I know there must be a button to click somewhere but I haven't found it.

Cool, will have a look at that. Would you take the most recent image from https://github.com/manjaro-pinephone/plasma-mobile/releases?
