PinePhone
PinePhone is supported by Mobile NixOS: https://mobile.nixos.org/devices/pine64-pinephone.html
This guide is discusses how to use Phosh, the GNOME-derived UI used by Librem and Mobian.
Status
Calling
Working with:
- Use the more generic device path for modem
- the following:
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.calls ];
services.dbus.packages = [ pkgs.callaudiod ];
SMS
Working with:
Chattypkgs.purple-mm-sms
Camera
Working with pkgs.megapixels. Front camera causes it to crash? Works in other distros.
Mobile internet
Working (imperative), with:
$ nmcli c add type gsm ifname cdc-wdm0 con-name $PROVIDER apn $APN
Other distributions use Librem's fork of gnome-control-center which has a mobile internet panel. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/583 tracks the upstreaming of this functionality.
