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?~~
