Honestly, I usually just wait for official as, in part, the unofficial odd solutions ones include much bigger Gaps packages.

Lineage-21-20241202-NIGHTLY-pro1x with November 1st security patch installed smoothly via OTA. MindTheGapps14, and root was maintained. On time this time, just me who was late getting here. :D

https://updater.oddsolutions.us/devices/pro1x/builds I see MindTheGapps here: https://mindthegapps.com/#mind-the-gapps-for-android-15-lineage-os-22 I'll give this a try when I have a chance and report back.

Just to be absolutely clear. Let me repeat that we ONLY got this fix using an old Pro1, and NOT the Pro1X. AFAIK, once the patch have been applied using an old Pro1, the display should work on a Pro1X too, but of course it would require a Pro1 to be disassembled and used for the purpose.

For the Pro1 it's pretty easy. Just Fastboot flash stock. You don't have to set up stock, Just flash it and sign in. I'm pretty sure the version of stock you download, from August 2020 was the latest update so it should have the patch. You may not even have to sign in, but I have always done that to be sure it was a proper install. Then reflash Lineage. And, yes, it means you have to re-setup Lineage-- there is no way to patch Lineage properly. The patch is built into stock. Annoying amount of work because no proper backup. Lineage is supposed to have seedvault, but I have no experience

Did you have the red notification light flashing about once per second when trying to charge it? This seems to be the status of mine too. It's drawing constant 50mA, but even after leaving it for 24 hours, it will not boot. The rubber band trick is also NOT working for me. I tried several times, leaving it for over 24 hours for one attempt. So I'm guessing you had to disassemble and connect a bench PSU to the battery connector?

Yo folks, I have just replaced the screen on my Pro1 with one from Ali-Express, so I now have that weird lack of sensitivity at the edges. Can someone please talk me through flashing the device to fix it? Is there a way of doing it without losing all my data? Hope someone can help! Thanks

This. That's precisely why I gave up on all those alternative OSes that are said to be more "Linux-like" than Android but, actually, are just AOSP piggybacking another UI via libhybris. Like you, I settled early for a combination of (Google-free) LineageOS and a chrooted Debian Linux install, giving me native access to the huge Android ecosystem of apps. Unfortunately, the latter is just necessary nowadays. On the bright side, I can cover almost all my needs with FLOSS Android apps. Installing some alt OS that claims to be "real Linux" but, actually, runs on a containerized vers

(lineage-21.0-20241130-nightly-pro1-signed.zip on November 1 security patch installed smoothly using adb sideload and MindTheGapps-14.0.0-arm64-20240925_175633) And we still can only select one keyboard layout, so no easy layout switching, for multilingual usage.

Yeah, that was exactly what I came to realize. I wanted to give it a try, as said, to give my funding for the Pro1 X campaign some sense. I still think the campaign anf Pro 1X is cool, despite all the struggles they and we went thru. But I already run a Astro Slide with Termux X11 on Android there, and that works surprisingly well, without me being forced to jump thru hoops getting, e.g., 2FA banking apps to work, which simply run on main Android. Also, in the past maybe two years, I found myself using the keyboard, Linux environment less and less, so there is really no point for me to ev

Back in the days, Canonical wanted people to believe Ubuntu Touch was the Ubuntu GNU/Linux distribution for PCs, just repackaged for their mobile phones. Of course UBTouch is nothing even close to that. Fun fact, it does not even use a Ubuntu Linux kernel! It runs on the same Android kernel and proprietary drivers than Stock, interfacing them using middleware layers. The latter, however, can be used only by specific "native" UBTouch apps, not by your random favourite software from the full Ubuntu distribution. You can run Linux Firefox or Thunderbird on UBTouch just like you can on A

***BUG found. I am able to enable wifi hotspot...but i am unable to turn hotspot off. Settings crashes and is needed reboot.

Just in case anyone else hits this error when running flash_all.sh: Sending sparse 'userdata' 1/5 (765895 KB) OKAY [ 16.362s] Writing 'userdata' FAILED (remote: 'Flashing of userdata is not allowed in snapshotted state') fastboot: error: Command failed The fix is this fastboot snapshot-update cancel

Flashed Droidian, it got as far as I: Flashing data/userdata.img Sending sparse 'userdata' 1/5 (765895 KB) OKAY [ 16.361s] Writing 'userdata' FAILED (remote: 'Flashing of userdata is not allowed in snapshotted state') fastboot: error: Command failed Unsurprisingly it didn't boot but it did replace the startup screen with a beautiful green one! Tried stock without GMS again and the fxtec logo bootscreen is back. And there was no startup wizard! There is a google search box on the homescreen though so this is not an acceptable ROM for me.

I just followed this guide this guide including ColdCamel's addition to flash stock android without GMS. On restarting it said it failed and offered a factory reset which I did that as there was nothing on my Pro1x. When it rebooted the loading screen was still /e/os, as is the setup wizard. I tried to go through the wizard to get back in and re-enable adb to try flashing again but can't get past location services screen - when I press next I see the screen about the keyboard briefly (in a dark theme which I was using before 🙃) then it goes back to location. I tapped quickly hoping to hit

Thanks @claude0001 and to the whole forum. I went from stock Android to Ubuntu Touch and back, without rendering my device (even more) useless. And while Ubuntu on a phone is nice, it really is far less powerful then I have imagined. No Firefox, no Thunderbird, ages away from running docker ... it sure works, it's also actually nice, but by no means could that ever be my daily driver in that setup. Still, as I waited almost 4 years for this device, I wanted to give it a try. At least I squeezed out the guide, hoping this is helpful for another lost Linux-Phone person out there.

Yep, think so too, see above.

yeah .. I read all this 6 weeks ago, and finally had some time in my hands last night, and started right away ... since when isn't that a smart idea !?!?! 😄 Thanks, as posted right above, I think I have a path forward ... thanks!

I think I only need to ... adb shell su restorecon -vRF /mnt/vendor/persist/sensors/ reboot ... but for that, I first need to root ... I will update all this later today, or later this weekend.

Have you performed the steps listed in section "Repair sensors/ folder in persist.img" of this post: I understand those steps are necessary after flashing back to stock from UBTouch. Note that you need to root the device. Also, please note that I never tried Ubuntu on the Pro1X, so I never had to do this procedure myself. Just trying to point you into what I think is the right direction ...

How to flash Ubuntu Touch and revert back to stock Android 0. Warranties, Guarantees 1. There are none. Proceed at your own risk. If you loose data, or damage your phone, even beyond repairs, you, and only you are to blame. Please read the full guide first before doing anything with your phone. Only proceed if you think you are capable of doing each part of it. Do not proceed if you feel unsure. 2. Again, no warranties, no guarantees, that this is working for you, and that your device is usable after following this guide. 1. Assumptions 1. This guide assumes you have the

So, here comes finally my "guide" ... Disclaimer: I failed! I now got an incomplete keyboard, special keys are not working, and sensors seem to be off, as the screen in restored Android *does no longer rotate* when I open the keyboard. I have an IMEI for slot 1 and 2 according to system settings, though.Any help to resolve this, would be very much appreciated ... The "guide" will follow in the next post, shorty ... I got it all (?) back working ... I will update my guide below ...

As with the post I made above, people are not going to be able to help you unless you provide details. Do you have a Pro 1, which is what this thread is for, or do you have a Pro1x, for which this is the wrong procedure? What OS was on your phone before you began? What are you trying to do and what are the exact steps you have tried. What are you trying to accomplish.

I was able to compete the steps successfully now stuck on boot screen after rebooting please help
