Pinephone testing release 2022-sept-29

Content

This release of LuneOS uses Qt 6.3 and updated components of WebOS-OSE.
It is based on the "kirkstone" branch of Yocto.

What works:

• Almost everything except camera and sound

Known issues:

• Camera doesn't work yet
• Sound seems broken
• Some conflicts seem to happen between wifi and cellular connections at first boot. If the connection to wifi doesn't work on first boot, reboot and use the Wifi app to connect.
• Cellular data has not yet been tested

How to install:

1. Retrieve the WIC and BMAP files.
2. Write the .WIC file to your SD Card with your favourite tool. I use bmaptool on Archlinux.
3. Place the SD card in your phone, power it on and wait for about 15-20 seconds and you will see the log on your screen, followed by the LuneOS logo and the OS will start.
