Touch keys
For configuration of the touch keys, see Tm2-touchkey.
Display brightness
The brightness of the display can't be adjusted, this is not available yet.
Charging
There is no charger driver yet. The device charges – but slowly and there is no indication in the User Interface that it charges.
Suspend
Suspend is not yet fully implemented. It's recommended to disable suspend. See Qualcomm_Snapdragon_410/412_(MSM8916)#Suspend.
Plasma Mobile
On samsung-serranove the display natively shows everything in flipped/mirrored way. To compensate this, the cmdline in /etc/deviceinfo contains video=540x960,reflect_x
. In Plasma Mobile of postmarketOS v21.12, the screen handling is done by KScreen. As KScreen doesn't support flipping/reflecting, everything is shown mirrored. There is currently no solution. See pmaports issue #1340.
