An update to this. My replacement Elephone U Pro screen arrived yesterday, but I didn't have a chance to install it until today. The screen is clearly secondhand; there was exposed, dirty adhesive on the back, and the plastic scratch protector on the front is also scuffed. The screen itself is largely undamaged. It came with several tools to help with replacement, including spudgers, adhesive strips, and two small screwdrivers (one Phillips and one flat). The display frame was very easy to remove per F(x)tec's instructional video. It was a little more difficult to remove the screen from the display frame; I used a hair dryer to loosen the glue in one corner, then slowly pried it off the rest of the way. Then it was a simple matter of adding the new adhesive strips, setting in the new screen, and re-assembling. Unfortunately, there are some black blobs on the corners of the screen, which was what I originally ordered a replacement screen to try take care of. It sounds like that's a common problem with replacement Elephone screens. However, between the time that I ordered the screen and it arrived, I dropped the Pro1 X again and the factory-installed screen failed entirely, so I needed this replacement anyway. I was hoping I wouldn't need to flash this screen to deal with the touch-insensitive margin, but I will need to if I want true edge-to-edge input. As has been mentioned, if I put my finger within the margin and drag all the way to the edge, it works, but starting at the edge does not. To be honest, though, I'm debating if I even want to do it. Curved screens have always annoyed me--I tend to accidentally interact with things with my palm when I don't want to--and all the apps I normally use don't require input at the very edges.

I've seen a few posts raising concerns about how much longer this community forum will be available. It seems F(x)tec is still in business, working on the Clicks keyboard case and other projects, but I don't know if there's a future for the Pro1 line. I've gained a lot of useful information from here, so as a precaution, I saved an offline copy of the forum over the weekend. Specifically, the command I used to mirror the forum was: wget -E -k -m -np -p https://community.fxtec.com The archive is about 17 GB in total. Compressed as .tar.gz, it shrinks to about 2.3 GB, which I think is pretty manageable. You can download the compressed copy directly from this Mega link or over BitTorrent via the following magnet link. magnet?xt=urn:btih:b7530da843334b24e289cd5f165670f19cff356d&dn=community.fxtec.com_2025-12-27.tar.gz&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonoid.ch%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.stealth.si%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3A451%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexplodie.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker2.dler.org%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.tryhackx.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.torrust-demo.com%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.therarbg.to%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.skynetcloud.site%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.qu.ax%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.hifimarket.in%3A2710%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.gmi.gd%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.dler.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.bittor.pw%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.0x7c0.com%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker-udp.gbitt.info%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftr4ck3r.duckdns.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ft.overflow.biz%3A6969%2Fannounce&ws=https%3A%2F%2Fwebtorrent.io%2Ftorrents%2F
