- If you want an office solution on your Pinephone.
- And if you want to transfer office files cloud-free from your Pinephone to your PC and back.
- This is the easiest way I know to solve this problem.
- This is a solution Google Inc. has killed on Adnroid phones after Android version 4.4. and that is to write to the external SD card.
- Here is explained how to use the externral SD card of the Pinephone for file transfer to a PC.
- The explanation is from a Linux beginner.
- Further which Pinephone distro to choose which supports the Pinephone keyboard.
- How alter the Pinephone keyboard layout for instance for your language, or to adapt it for Gnumeric and Abiword.
- Issues i had with file transfer over the external Pinephone SD card to my Ubuntu PC and back.
- I was not yet successful with this solution and I do not use it yet.
- But it is suitable to be processed further.
- Abiword and Gnumeric work satisfyingly on the Pinephone.
- There are also versions for desktop PCs available for these applications.
- You can use the same file format on the Pinephone as on your PC.
- How to transfer files over the external SD card of the Pinephone with your PC is described here:
- I failed up to this date with the external SD card solution with my Pinephone,but I was not far from being successful.
- I had issues with the writing permission with my Ubuntu PC to write to the Pinephone SD card I have sticked into my Ubuntu PC.
- But I have to admit that I am a Linux beginner.
- For a professional this should be easy.
- Most of it is aleady described how to solve it in the Pine64 forum by professionals.
- But this is not easy to digest for me as a Linux beginner.
- Adapting the Pinephone keyboard layout for Abiword and Gnumeric would aslo be helpful:
- And to adapt it to your specific country
- This would make the Pinephone more usable for office mobile.
