Downloaded the new v3 linux file to my Cosmo.
Have problem with the next steps...QuoteOnce you downloaded the zip archive you will have to extract its content onto your microSD card:
1. Using the Files app (do not use File Manager app) locate the ZIP archive
2. Tap the archive file to reveal the cosmo-customos-installer folder
3. Long tap on that folder, select Extract to... and finally select the root folder of the microSD card as destination.
4. Complete the ZIP extraction process.
5. Your microSD card should now contain a folder named cosmo-customos-installer with several files inside it.
When I try doing step 2 above using the 'Files' app, it just puts a checkmark next to the file. It does not 'reveal the cosmo-customos-installer folder' as it says in directions.
Also, if I get to that folder, do you see the 'Extract to' option they mention?
Thanks for any input on this.
Thanks,
Mark

Please install "file manager plus ". It is a very good file manger ( play store ). Then long tap the zip file , click more and extract. Please make sure to do this on to your micro sd card. Or you can extract the files in your computer with a micro sd card reader. This is for a new linux install.
You can also upgrade your linux install with the instructions provided by Planet.
Good luck.
Mouse Control - you can now use the CoDi display as a trackpad when the unit is open
Phone Control - you can browse contact and place/accept calls from the Codi screen while the unit is closed
Device Control - you can switch OFF/reboot Cosmo from the CoDi display
Hi Cam1965,
Mouse Control - you can now use the CoDi display as a trackpad when the unit is open
Phone Control - you can browse contact and place/accept calls from the Codi screen while the unit is closed
Device Control - you can switch OFF/reboot Cosmo from the CoDi display
Did update to Codi V15 and Linux V 3 (no complete install necessary - only: https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Manual_Update_Linux_v3 )
That is what I did.
Mouse Control : works, but sluggish -> I dont use it.
Yes, mine too.
Phone Control/Device Control: doesnt work! What a pitty - phone usage with codi would be so handy :-(

Downloaded the new v3 linux file to my Cosmo.
I extracted the file folder to my microSD card. There are 3 files inside the folder.
Is it OK that they are inside the folder or should they moved out of the folder to the root level of the card?
I did the step 'Change the partition table of your Cosmo'.
Chose option 4, 'Reserve 30GB for Android and 90 GB for Linux'. Went OK.
Now have problem with the 'Install Custom OS on your Cosmo' step...here's what I see:QuoteDevice is multi-boot

It's been about 45 minutes since the last line.....with no further text, still says "please wait..."
Seems like something is not working....
Any suggestions???

The codi-app is installed to /home/cosmo/.config/autostart/codi.desktop, you have to copy the same to the same location of the user you created.
$ python3 /usr/lib/codi/codiServer.py

But can you use CoDi for phone calls under Linux?
Can use CoDi display as trackpad....
So, right now, pretty happy.....
-Cannot add new user so the device is very insecure
-Cannot add new user so the device is very insecure
One of the first things I did after installing v3 was add a new user.
https://devconnected.com/how-to-add-and-delete-users-on-debian-10-buster/#Adding_a_user_using_adduser
Then I changed the password of the default user "cosmo" (although I'll probably just delete that account once I get CoDi set up on my new user account).

Greetings!
I'm new to the group so please bear with me if this is widely known/understood.
I was keenly interested in getting he keyboard backlight to work in Cosmo Linux Firmware V3, I asked the support at Planet Computers if there was any way to turn the Keyboard Backlight on, turns out there is (the response from the Planet Computers support folks follows:
In Linux you can adjust the keyboard backlight from the command line.
The following command will work:
“echo X > /proc/aw9524_led_proc”
Where X range from 40 (no light) to 45 (light intensity max).
Again if this is old news my sincere apologies, I hadn't come across the above info before and wanted to share it.

I also cannot Import vcf contacts, Screen stays white in the Phone App. Any ideas? TiaApologies for the late response on this one, I spend most of my time in UBPorts these days.
QuoteBut can you use CoDi for phone calls under Linux?Hi LinuxGuy.
After reinstalling the new image,
Gentlemen,There are some things that may look minor but play an important role in our battery lifespan. The first one is tuning off unused system features. This includes (but is not restricted to) WiFi, Bluetooth, VGA ports, ethernet, and more. All these ports drain energy from the battery, and some devices even have hardware buttons to disable them. If buttons are not available, we can disable their drivers, as described in the next section. Moreover, we can also hibernate instead of suspending/sleeping our system. This means suspending to disk instead of suspending to RAM memory so that the battery spends no energy.
How long does the battery charge lasts using Linux? I can barely use Linux for six hours before the battery is depleted. I don't know if clock scaling works (the system reports the clock changes), and it seems that core disabling works, because some apps become sluggish. But both actions don't seem to make any difference on battery charge consumption. Disabling CODI on Android allows me to use Cosmo for almost three days with one charge, with moderate use.Minesweeper (https://mines-weeper.io)
