Development Changelog
We will list our progress to Alpha4 here
My SIM, Finnish Telia is not working. Same thing goes applies for Plasma Mobile. Probably ofono? It does read Telia upleft and has some numbers there before it starts to read just Telia. No internet connection though.
Pinephone manjaro edition, lomiri alpha 3, Denmark Tdc
Phone calls work with no problems and sound perfect.
Sms can send and receive (can begin to freeze when receiveing), Mms cant get it to work.
Wifi , internet browsing and terminal updates works. Youtube running very good.
4g cant get on the internet, but think it is something with the Apn.
Second monitor, is a no go, can get a picture up and mouse quickly stops working on the phone.
The phone it self is running smoothly, just like a new android or an iphone, very nice work there.
Not a long road ahead before this becomes my main phone.
Very good job done.
care to explain the new ‘nightly’ builds. is each one different than the last? will there be a changelog for every nightly release?

I think the ‘nightly’ builds just come with newer packages, so if you don’t want to have to download/update as much after installing a new image, get the nightly. There will sometimes be notes in the bugtracker post if there is anything of particular importance.
btw there is a bounty source for making Anbox work on Wayland. Currently its at 180$ if someone is interesting on contributing to the bounty or making the work and reclaiming the price its here:

Installed Alpha 3. Lomiri ui is great! But I have some problems with WLAN. Can’t wait to see more releases and progress 
- wifi doesn’t work some times
- can’t activate gps
- login input blocked in neochat (server field after typed first characters)
But Manjaro works much better than mobian / postmarket with my pinephone. Both are unusable if I try to update with packet manager or change language. Manjaro with lomiri gui is the best choice for me.

We try to work closely with UBPorts developers on these issues. However the process is kinda slow.
It will need some time, but I really like what I see so far 
Yeah, even progress on their own OS for Pinephone is barely a crawl.
Tested mobian (posh), postmarketos (posh, plasma) and finally manjaro (plasma, lomiri).
Lomiri hat mich am optisch und von der Bedienung her am meisten angesprochen und Manjaro war bisher das stabilste OS der Kandidaten.
Entsprechend bin ich sehr gespannt auf Manjaro mit Lomiri. Good job!
How are they doing?
Hi, latest dev build isn’t booting with my pinephone. I liked the Lomiri UI, but looks like should move to another UI? Which ist the smoothest and active developed UI / OS build for pinephone?
We need to look at whats broken as it fails to load. I hope to rebuild the whole lomiri pkgs list and see if that would help.
Thank you for reporting.
Not sure if this is relevant, but hey 
I’ve noticed that doing a system update (pacman -Syu) starting from the alpha3 image will cause the pinephone to seem bricked.
From what i can tell everything looks good except that lightdm isn’t starting up.
After a bit of digging it looks like the unity-system-compositor can’t start because the file ‘libprotobuf-lite.so.23’ is missing.
i’m guessing that the system upgraded removes libprotobuf-lite.so.23 and adds libprotobuf-lite.so.27.
I’m not exactly sure what to do with this information, or even if it’s the root cause of the problem, but i hope it helps someone out.
Yes, alpha3 was the last image we did for Lomiri. Currently this edition is unmaintained.
Hi @philm
I noticed that some broken dependencies are preventing the lomiri image from building.
They are
- lomiri-keyboard-git
- inputcontext-gtk
- location-services-git
lomiri-keyboard-git and inputcontext-gtk both fail because they have a dependency on maliit-framework-git which has been replaced by maliit-framework in the repos
So changing this dependency in PKGBUILD files for the respective packages will fix them
(i know i tried )
But for location-service-git there seems to be a bigger problem (for me at least )
It depends on net-cpp-git, which in turn depends on pyhton2-decorators
I can’t find pyhton2-decorators anywhere… any clue where it went or what it can be replaced with?
If i can figure that out, i can submit some patches to the relevant repos and we can get the image up and building again
(also mir needs a rebuild with the new protobuf lib, no patch needed, just a rebuild will be enough)

Maybe it can be replaced with python-decorator? That seems to be the closest alternative available, maybe it replaced python2-decorator.
I would love to see some activity on Lomiri development again, so thanks for bringing this up! I’ll try to figure out how to contribute something useful to this too.

in the mean time i’ve found that it’s much more complex that this 
ubports moved to gitlab, this basically means that all the PKGBUILD files need to updated to point to the gitlab repos and rebuilt
And probably update the dependencies as well and who knows what else…
It makes me sad that manjaro does not support lomiri, but i get it…
I’ve tried to update the builds myself, but i’m by no means capable of doing this.
I’d be more than happy to learn and do this, but i would need a lot of help and i’m not even sure who to ask
