  1. Thank you Hook for bringing this to my attention. I have now updated all the links in Documentation tab. Everyone should be able to access now.

  2. I had noticed that the G-drive links in the official help documents posted by Casey were no longer working (access was denied). I reached out and this was not intentional and they will be fixed sometime this week or so. Just wanted to let folks know. Be patient and the links will work again.

  3. I suspect that actually your Pro1x has been revived by the rubber band method but your problem is with the display. There is one easy thing you can check. The back of the display can be easily opened (5 screws, no glue) and you can check the ribbon cable to see if it is properly connected and seated. Unfortunately, if that's not it, it is probably a defective display. I wasn't sure whether you said FxTec didn't answer your email or replied saying they couldn't help you (meanng they have no display replacements they could send you). If the former, you may have to wait a bit. They are

  5. On Sunday, Casey communicated to me that he had all the files and would create new links "Next week." I don't know if that meant the week we are in or really next week. I suspect it hasn't been quicker because he is not where he can easily take care of this. But it will happen. There is someone in our unofficial Discord who is currently sharing the files on Proton Drive if you are impatient. That's where you would want to ask questions about it.

  9. F(x)tec has been surprisingly communicative over email. They also sent me a replacement display cable after the display swap didn't fix it, and I'm going to try installing that.

  10. "Very soon" is a very flexible term coming from FxTec, but good to know they have it on the backburner. Better than nothing, I guess.

  11. I'm indiegogo contributor instead. Just for the record, I had been told earlier that website orders would be shipped "at a leater date" (than Indigogo orders), and now I asked again with their Indiegogo orders reported as done, and I just got the answer "very soon I expect". For Indiegogo backers who didn't get their device yet, I suspect only contacting support can help. But be patient, they can be really slow, and don't send "several emails"; their ticket system has been said to bump a case back to the end of the queue when a follow-up email comes in.

  12. I don't know if it has any answers, but you might look at some of the discussions in this thread: It is mostly a discussion about the Pro1, but towards the end of the thread there is also discussion of the Pro1x. It may not resolve anything, but will give you an idea of what has been tried and with what degree of success.

  13. It might help if you gave more information on where you are at and what you need help with. For instance, have you looked at and tried to follow the instructions here? https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pro1x/install/ They are actually pretty clear instructions. If you don't understand or are uncomfortable with the instructions, chances are you shouldn't do it. Take your time to read everything carefully and then maybe ask specific questions on what you don't understand.

  16. I've had three - the one that came with the phone and 2 Aliexpress replacements. The original had 2 tiny black marks in the corners. The first replacement was flawless. Then the phone fell out of my pocket as I got out of a van and that screen shattered when it hit the ground...the next replacement had one large black spot in a corner. It seems to be that the black spots are areas of dead backlighting, you can still just barely see the content especially in dark rooms with the backlight near minimum.

  19. @Hook thanks for your comment. I indeed misinterpreted the restore parts of that thread, I thought the warning under (1) would also apply to the section "Repair sensors/ folder in persist.img" (2), but now after re-reading, I am pretty sure you are right, that are two totally different things. I could go the "restorecon" way, I even could dig up a Windows machine somehow, but not too familiar with that OS anymore ... I will ponder a bit more, on how to proceed. I always wanted to have "Convergence", i.e., run all my tools on one machine, and one machine only, but I doubt that I wo

  21. I'm on 2degrees (Welcome Bay) on a Pro1X running LineageOS, and I've had missing SMS for the last 2 or 3 weeks. Discussions with Mrs MonCon revealed that some texts had disappeared into the ether, apparently delivered from my end, never received to her end. Like you, I put my sim into a backup phone and it worked, then back into my PrawnX and it worked. It's just started playing up again. On Friday I sent Mrs MC a few texts from the dining room to the lounge, and when we compared notes, again a few missing. Don't think I've been missing any incoming, but I'll ask around, and n

  27. Maybe you know better. I have been assuming that if you are updating OTA rather than sideloading, flashing the newer Gapps isn't relevant since the Google Apps are updated by Google.

  29. As the saying goes: "The great thing about standards is there are so many to choose from" P.S. @EskeRahn Agree that a grounded 'sleeve' terminal at the base makes a lot of sense.

  30. Be aware that there - unfortunately, are TWO standards for the four-pinned 3.5mm with microphone, I do not know if the wrong type could cause this. The OMTP and the CTIA. Now most devices (including Pro1/Pro1X) uses CTIA, some years back most (e.g the real Nokia) used OMTP. OMTP is an a LOT more sensible standard BTW, having ground close to a plug housing that could be metal. The easiest way to know if a given headset is CTIA or OMTP (if doc does not tell), is to measure the resistance between the right and left at the tip. Typically something like 320-340 Ω, then measure for he t

  31. I was saying that even after you remove the screws, the screen will still cling to the base plate. Detaching it requires some prying tool to insert between the screen frame and the base plate.

  33. The October build of LineageOS16.0 (for SD835 Pro1) is available. Head to https://findus.zwergenschaenke.net/~puma/linux.html#lineagepro1 and get the ROM dated 20241017. Changes since last month: Backported security fixes up to the October 2024 ASB. Update of the bundled System WebView and browser to Chromium 129.0.6668.70 (from LOS21). Have a lot of fun!

  34. @zikad Well it will keep working BUT there is an issue with the outer edges being non responsive to touch with the screens we can find on AliExpress. The only KNOWN method we got to fix this touch issue Is to mount on a Pro1 (not Pro1X) and re-flash that....

  35. While buying a miniature Phillips screw driver, make sure to also get some prying tool. Besides the screws, the display frame "clicks" onto the supporting base plate. Especially if it has never been removed before, fingernails are not enough to get it loose. You wont have to mess with the hinge mechanism by the way. However, be careful with the ribbon cable connecting the two halves of the phone: it is just long enough to allow you to reach the connector head. Once the display frame is unmounted (which is quite easy) you can check and re-seat the ribbon cables coming from the bottom ha

  40. Yes, it's Android 14 ("MagicOS 8.0"), and Android 15 based MagicOS 9.0 has been announced for November. If it wasn't for either a hardware keyboard or a folder to make the lack of a hardware keyboard less annoying, I'd probably be using a Fairphone. They've an excellent track record for software support, too, and I neither need the fastest chips nor the most advanced cameras in a smartphone...

  43. Could you clarify whether a factory reset required after installing the new screen? Or will the existing phone just keep working?

  44. Just to add that this is something of a good sign, as this is how it behaves if I do it on a working Pro1X. But as it does not display a splash screen also in the loop, I agree with others that it is most likely a display issue.

  45. (you can switch off google's automatic waste of bandwidth aka 'updates', though it is hidden deep in setting in the app, and by default is turned on - I guess the purpose is so stealing our data is less obvious among the constant traffic.... Oh and note even when you switch it off they turn it on themselves, so you have to do it repeatedly - bloody crooks...)

  46. It took me a while, but I got LineageOS running on my Fxtec Pro1 X by following the guide here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pro1x/install/ However, I ran into issues when trying to run these fastboot commands: fastboot oem enable-charger-screen fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1 fastboot reboot Fastboot reported that no devices were found. Ok, so that's a driver problem. But, I couldn't figure out how to install the Google USB Drivers for Android on Windows 11: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb After doing a lot of digging, I found a video in R

  48. Hello, my Pro1x also has a black spot, I also find it very annoying, yes, at the top edge it doesn't really bother me, but...! I also have to say that it doesn't work as expected. The camera is total crap. With the original app it rarely or never focuses and the Manuel Camera DSLR Pro app often freezes, despite being a paid version. Not nice. I want my BlackBerry Key2 back. It just worked and always worked. It was just that Android 8.1 was too old.

  49. Hello, just got my new Pro1-X (ordered >2 years ago I guess). It was completely drained and not able to charge or boot. Thanks for Charging dead Pro1X to help out. It worked. But now I face a screen asking me for google credentials. What the.... AFAIR LineageOS was meant to work without Google using FDroid, MicroG and stuff. Now, why do I need to enter Google credentials ? I tried skipping but it only leads me to the next login page. So how can I start using this phone with a Google free approach and no Google login ? Any help ? And in case the Pro1X is not
