PinePhone

So I get that USB PD means quick charging, which is good. It's been a while since I read the whole topic, but I don't think it's been mentioned; with USB-C, does it mean this device could potentially support convergence?
-
Im very happy we have alternative hardware/software to the mainstream spyware. Ill be buying a pinephone immediately when available!
-
@normandc They said video out, so yes.
-
Lots of us out here watching and waiting, for,daily users , being shipped , keep up the good work
-
Video out will work on the PinePhone yes.

@PINE64 Do you know if touchscreen will also work via type-C? i.e. touchscreen monitor with type-C data input
-
@kugiigi The SOC is presently limited to doing either HDMI or LCD out, unless you mirror the displays. That, however, is a bit problematic due to the 1440x720 resolution on the PinePhone. But everything is a subject to change and with time there may be a way to output to both the PinePhone LCD and separately to HDMI.
-
@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

This post is deleted! -
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
