How can I flash UBPorts to the eemc? After testing pmos, KDE neon, and manjaro neon I see UBPorts as having the most promise and ebung the furthest along in development. predictive text, a functioning app store, theres an app to connect to my self hosted nextcloud server, theres just a huge list of positives I'm seeing. Next task will be to see if I can get verizon service going on it. In the mean time I really want to run this from the speed of the internal flash storage.
Some other things I'd like to do; screen rotating, test the camera, test headphones and I'm sure I'll think of more with time.

@Marathon2422 I haven't been able to change time via GUI either (EST) I had to do it via CL

Updated to #217 got hung in setup with demo screen " pull down" , quick off/on, got past that.
it is very slick and good looking in operation.
Re the time zone function ,I guess thats related to location etc . -
@Marathon2422
About the timezone, Bearded1 on UBports TG channel send this :sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_YorkYou can set the timezone using either command and even by choosing
Manuallyin the settings...
Changes may take some time to be visible. -
I tried manually in settings but it didn't work, thanks for the CL setting

@PINE64 I would like to know how to access, take photos using the integrated cameras.
I have had no luck sofar getting either of the cameras to return an image. Post a tutorial or something.
Im using either postmarket OS, or Ubuntu touch, depending on which has fewer kernel stability issues at the time. -
@PINE64 provides the hardware, the community (hence you/us) provides the soft part.
Plus this forum is not the best place for your request ; https://forum.pine64.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=121 is more suitable.To try and answer your question, you can find a way to take pictures with postmarketOS here (never tried though) :
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PinePhone_(pine64-pinephone)#CamerasFor UT I didn't search more but couldn't find how to do it.

For now cameras are listed under 'not working' for UT.
See the readme here:

i just loaded 233 build and flashed to the emmc. when i went to change the password i get the error:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged -
@admsjas
I don't see a question here and this is not the thread purpose.
Please check the gitlab for opened issues and post yours : https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/pinephone/issues?scope=all&utf8=✓&state=openedAnd try to give more details and check for reproduction.
As much as I can, I force myself to reflash with another build which I think worked ; then test.
Then reflash with the build I suspect is not working and check again.Sometimes flashing errors occurs... Or I was the problem

i thought this was the place to discuss thing regarding UT on pinephone if not my apologies. the issue was the same running from sd card and from the emmc
-
Today's build brings many new improvements to the PinePhone, including performance and the modem automatically starting at boot (as well as auto-rotating the display - although I haven't gotten that working just yet).

@PINE64
Oooh nice
I can't wait to go back home and test it -
