Maybe you can Try the above mentioned method as manually update the kernel to 5.3-rc4
I am not sure about this.
did you try to do something w/ the 3 .deb files provided before by Nick ?
No. As manjaro is distro for mainline kernel we tried to build something close to mainline instead is using pre compiled kernel
After a second try, I confirm that applying the 3 debs on a clean ubuntu just reflashed to EMMC simply drive to bootloop w/ following traces:

i might be wrong @numbqq
but the issue seems to be the dtb, no ?
Updated about VIM3. Same img can be used for VIM3 but follow the process mentioned in this post.

VIM3 Known Issues
- No Wifi.
- Graphical Glitch (Only when you use MVP or SM Player, VLC Works smooth with CPU Load) - Make sure to have a heatsink and a fan incase you use it fullscreen.
Currently waiting for Wifi drivers.
If there is no audio then please follow balbes method.
For reasons not yet clear, the G12 has a conflict with this kernel with PULSEAUDIO. To turn the sound on models with G12 (s905x2 S922x a311d) you need to perform these steps.
- Remove package “pulseaudio”.
- Reboot the system.
- Run this file script g12_sound.sh.
When you remove the pulseaudio package, not volume control.
Alternatively, you can install the “pnmixer” or “kmixer” package that works with ALSA.

Update: Original post in quotes. These are images for running from SD card, as pointed out by ravelo. I should have known better. 
“*Hello Spikerguy, I have downloaded all four images, some more than once. *
All have been extracted using 7zip. However, every attempt to load the images in to the USB Burning Tool have resulted in an error, shown in the screencap below. Are these images designed for the tool?
*
I assume I have missed something, any ideas?
Thanks.”
i think his images are meant to be burnt to sd card or usb drives only
use etcher on windows or try this on linux
xz -dc 'imagefile.xz’ | sudo dd bs=8M of=/dev/sdX status=progress

Yes, I should have guessed. Thanks ravelo.
Update: Card burned successfully.
Note:VIM3 eMMC is loaded with Superceleron’s Pie.
Pulled VIM3 DTB from DTB folder, copied to Boot folder, renamed to DTB.img.
Ran AML-autoscript from update.
Unable to boot, goes on to Android.
I will reexamine my steps.
Also tried on VIM1 after changing DTB.
Evidently I am a bit rusty.
Dtb was already replaced for vim3, so no need to do anything just flash and boot.
Also just check if you can replace dtb to s922 and also try with a311d khadas vim3 coz my board is A311D but was working fine on s922 dtb.
Did you try upgrade mode to allow the board to boot from the usb?

I did, but will try your other suggestions tomorrow. Not with the board at the moment.
Thanks for your efforts on the Manjaro.
This is a mistake. This option is no longer used. Proper configuration of the DTB performed by a simple editing of the file (uEnv.ini), with the name of the file used.
Yes, I realize that with your Armbian and others, however I missed the file in the Manjaro. I wanted to get back to it last night, but severe thunderstorms kept me away from the board. I will give it another go tomorrow. I will edit the file and give it a go.
Thanks.

OK, I am running Manjaro. Success is sweet.
I have zero experience on Manjaro, looks very nice and runs well. Going to be a little learning curve with this distro for me. Nice package manager.
Previously runs had an error after running, “Etcher, failed to unmount volume”. It would attempt to boot but had errors and would drop to shell.
Switched to Rufus on a fully reformatted SD card.
Nice work @Spikerguy. Thanks for the assistance @ravelo and @balbes150.

I cannot easily retreive the link to lxde (or xfce) manjaro kernel 5.3-rc5 for VIM1, can anyone please give it below if it has been already published somewhere ?
tks!
yes, that post showed only vim3 img links, i look for vim1 img
Is it not just a matter of modifying uEnv.ini with the VIM1 dtb from the dtb folder.
Once the SD card or flash drive has been burned with the image you chose, look for the DTB folder on the SD card or flash drive, the VIM1 dtb should be in there, I right click the appropriate dtb, select rename and copy the name.
Back out of that folder and look for uEnv.ini, open that with a text editor and replace what ever the named dtb is showing with the VIM1 one you copied the name of. Save the file.
I think the images are mostly universal, just modifying the uEnv.ini is required.
Hey ravelo,
Download from these links and flash it to usb.
After that in uEnv.ini change the name of dtb from vim3 to vim1 and it will boot.
Match the name if the dtb in dtb folder with dtb name in uenv.ini file
I hope you get this.
