It also documents a remaining SD card versus eMMC issue affecting a previous service-pack fix. ### Source excerpt Phosh upstream did this really nice Quick Settings menu style refresh that we are happy to ship with this service pack, among other improvements. Without a long introduction, enjoy the full list of changes: Contents Phosh: Upgrade Phosh from 0.24.0 to 0.26.0 Upgrade Phoc from 0.24.0 to 0.26.0 Upgrade phosh-mobile-settings 0.24.1 to 0.26.0 Fix Waydroid: it was broken for several devices since the upstream image had been updated to LineageOS 18 (Android 11) and required new kernel options (!3901, !3975) Tuba: Tuba is a GTK4 Fediverse client, forked from the unmaintained tootle. Add version 0.2.0 mobile-config-firefox: upgrade from 3.2.0 to 4.0.0 Millipixels: Millipixels is a fork of the Megapixels camera application that works with the Librem 5. Add version 0.21.0 Upgrade dependency libcamera from 0.0.1 to 0.0.4 Purism Librem 5 Upgrade kernel from 6.2.0 to 6.2.8 (!3986) Upgrade librem5-base from 54 to 58 (!3989) PINE64 PinePhone Pro: Upgrade kernel from 6.1.10 to 6.2.7 (!3967) Enable Lazy RCU scheduler (!3928) Fix SD->eMMC installer prompt (!3978, related wiki notes) Samsung Galaxy S III: Upgrade exynos4 kernel from 6.0.2 to 6.1.0 (!3717) Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7 inch, 10.1 inch): Upgrade omap kernel from 6.1.0 to 6.2.1 (!3911) Xiaomi Mi Note 2: Upgrade qcom-msm8996 kernel from 6.0.2 to 6.1.14 (!3910) PINE64 Pinebook Pro, RockPro 64: Enable kexec (!3999) PINE64 PinePhone, PineTab: Enable FSCACHE and NFS caching (!3979) Notes on SP1 As we found out later, the fix for high CPU consumption on the PinePhone (original, not Pro) and PineTab mentioned in SP1 only works if postmarketOS is installed to the SD card, not it if is installed to the eMMC. This is being investigated in #1946. If you are affected, consider installing to SD card in the meantime or consider contributing towards getting it fixed. Careful readers will notice that it would have more sense to include Millipixels in SP1 already, as we had backported related improvements in the Librem 5 packaging.

This has largely been my fault as I was rather busy in January and following FOSDEM at the start of February I found myself occupied with things related to the EU store. I hope for things to go back to normal now; you can expect future community updates at the end of each month as per usual. Again, I apologise, mea culpa. I hope that this month's update and the news it brings will more than make up for the wait: the Nestflash section is absolutely packed this month, we're revealing PineTab2's pricing and SKU variants (both of which I'm sure you'll be pleased with), announcing that Star64 will be available in the next 6 weeks (or so) and report on all the work that has gone into PinePhone (Pros) development in the recent two months ... and much more Let's get to it.

This month we're announcing production of the Pinebook Pro resuming and introduction of Quartz64 model-B.

This is in large part due to the continued interest in the Pinebook Pro and PineTab, which have just shipped, as well as the ongoing massive demand for the PinePhone. By my estimate, come December we will have shipped more PinePhones than OpenMoko and the original Ubuntu Touch smartphones ... combined. Let this sink in for a minute. I'd also like to thank JF for once again providing this month's PineTime community update. There is plenty of stuff to get to, so let's get to it! This month's TL;DR: Shipping is coming along quite well; stay tuned to shipping updates on the forum New Pine Store in the works; not only will it look better but will also support more payment options We're an Arm ecosystem partner now; Pinebook Pro laptops will be give-aways at this year's Arm Dev Summit Pinebook Pro: production halted temporarily due to LCD panel shortages (hopefully will resume in 2 months time) Pinebook Pro: check out the Fedora 32 community build with a choice of multiple DEs PineTabs are being delivered; positive initial reception Mobian and Arch Linux builds are now also available for the PineTab PineTime dev kits with InfiniTime ought to be available in Pine Store September 20 PineTime Hypnos - a Zephyr based firmware spotlight PinePhone Manjaro CE available for pre-order September 17 PinePhone software development: 13 OSes, multi-boot, and the p-boot bootloader is awesome PinePhone camera implementations on Ubuntu Touch; 30FPS viewfinder and Qt 5.12 updates PinePhone Megapixels camera postmarketOS app; both main and front cameras working, and taking higher-resolution pictures PineCubes are awaiting assembly; should be available in the store later this month Housekeeping The first topic on the housekeeping agenda concerns shipping.
