Notes:
- wifi requires this file to be placed in the
/lib/firmware/brcm/directory. - The
fedorauser is not in the sudoers file. Adding this user towheelgroup when signed in asrootwill resolve this. - The chassis needs to be changed to handset to make phosh default to more mobile settings:
hostnamectl set-chassis handset - The default is
gdm, if you want to set it to phosh simplysudo systemctl enable phoshand thensudo systemctl disable gdm

Notice
- The current build has a broken symlink to a temporary resolv.conf file. This causes some apps to not connect to a network.
sudo rm /etc/resolv.confand reboot to have the correct file generated.
Release #5: June 15, 2020
Update 20/08/20: This release has rotted quite a bit, but due to some circumstances I haven't built an update for a while. Please wait for the next image (follow me on Twitter or join the fedora mobile chats to be notified when that's released).
This is obviously an unofficial image and is unrelated to the main Fedora project.
See the instructions section for a download link this time.
What's New
- eMMC support (thanks to @cybik and _Yoda) - you can now use jumpdrive to flash Fedora onto the eMMC for better performance :)
- The kernel now updates via dnf. If I did everything right, this could be the last image update you'll have to reflash (until all pinephone patches are mainline and support is in upstream Fedora, of course).
- Remove the "X" button in some apps, instead opting to use the phosh-provided app switcher.
- 5.7 kernel

- The lockscreen now shows up at boot (thanks to @Raatty)

- gnome terminal has been replaced with kgx (the red circle icon)
- dnf updates no longer brick phosh

Release #4: March 15, 2020
This is obviously an unofficial image and is unrelated to the main Fedora project.
Changelog
- The modem now properly enables itself at boot.
- Just tell it your APN once and you're good to go!
sudo nmcli c add type gsm ifname cdc-wdm0 con-name mobile apn <your-apn>- You might also want to tell it that it's a metered connection if you don't have unlimited data:
sudo nmcli connection modify mobile connection.metered yes - That should be it, but the docs say you also have to do...
sudo nmcli r wwan on. I found that to be unnecessary, so ymmv.
- Disabled WiFi powersave
- It caused a ton of packet loss and generally just didn't work.
- Upgrade Megi's kernel
- Didn't check what changed, but it's newer now 🤷♂
- More fixes and stuff that I can't remember, see the git log of each of the respective packages.
