PinePhone

@PINE64 theoretically, would it be possible, while using HDMI and LCD is off, continue to get inputs from the Touch Panel and use it as a touchpad?
I mean hardware speaking.
Of course there should be software to support it. UT actually has that touchpad features with an external monitor but it's buggy and keep the phone's LCD on... -

@mymike Yes the touch pad has nothing to do with the screen. Thats why in mobile devices, there is always confusion between the display, and the screen. So the display consists of a screen and a digitizer, or "touch pad".
If you look into edge bugs, you will find one where the digitizer stay on, while the screen is off. We already did it - accidentially

@makeixo Not really. Lukasz sometimes post something on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs6A_0Jm21SIvpdKyg9Gmxw

@PINE64 thanks a lot for clarifying

When will the PinePhone be added to the ubports installer? Will it be in for the braveheart batch, or not until the stable release?
-
@B2288 That will happen very late, as currently we do not have final dev builds. But we will keep you posted

"Some performance improvement later and Lima and unity8 is really staring to become buttery smooth!"

PinePhone will be my next daily driver!
Anyway, I wonder if it's running the latest codes from the edge channel. I see the system indicator still having the user list.

@kugiigi You and many more I think. Me included.
-
@kugiigi yeah, mine too!

is it right to assume that the PinePhone, being a Linux phone, won't need Libertine to run Xorg apps?

No. It is "more" of a Linux phone than others that run some (old, forked) version of the Linux kernel in the sense that it runs a recent upstream version of the Linux kernel.
Everything that happens on top of the kernel is up to the distro you run. In the case of Ubuntu Touch, it will be Mir and Libertine. If you run Plasma, Lune, Postmarket, something else it will be whatever that distro provides

Thanks for that, @doniks -
