PinePhone (Disfunctional Features)

[MrMendelli]

I recently installed GloDroid (LineageOS/Android 13) to my PinePhone and have run into some features that are not working.

• Automatic brightness
• Reading external storage
  - Camera

For the automatic brightness, I believe my model is capable of this and should have the sensor for it, I can even find the option for it in the settings. However, I can only see it in search options and if I select it nothing happens.

External storage is my largest problem. No matter what brand or format of card I use, nothing shows up in stock or third-party storage apps or settings. I even cleaned a card and only made it's primary partition to see if I would be prompted to format it but there is no such option for me. What strikes me most about this is that I sued a microSD to flash the OS to EMMC successfully...

As far as the camera goes, I could live without it, but I would prefer not to and I know it is functional. I do however expect this issue to be the least clear on how to resolve. I don't know if it's a settings issue or a missing package?

I'm curious why you used strikeout on the camera issues, were you able to get the camera working?

I've tested several of both the eMMC and sdcard releases, confirming both front and back camera dip switches were on and the camera app has always crashed before launch.

I just tried the latest LineageOS/Android 13 sdcard release 2023w45 and i'm having the same issue.
