Using mkbootimg can be confusing and frustrating. I use a script to repack boot images after modification: repackbootimg It expects the files created by unpackbootimg to be in the current directory. It also can repack the ramdisk if it is extracted under a directory named initrd. Something like the following will do this: mkdir initrd cd initrd cat ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -id cd ..

You need to have usb debugging enabled, and ADB installed. Then we can execute fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1 EDIT: from fastboot mode, see Craig's correction below.

You all know that the phones are assembled with gloves, facial masks and some kind of hair protection? Yes, the virus can survive that long in special cases. But if production was that unhigienic, you'd have hairs, fingerprints and saliva on your phones when receiving it. Also, if it was a threat, international trades would already have been prohibited.

Looks like there's one upside to my package being stuck in customs.

Strange, my is definitely too loud. I use generic firmware. Maybe I'll check SailFishOS sometime. Thanks for response.

It's a known bug that happens for everyone I believe, the intention is probably to have this happen only when opening the camera from the lock screen so that people cannot spy on your pictures without unlocking. Most phones / camera apps I've used even allow gallery access from locked phone but only to new pictures.

You got Magisk installed? Awesome! But wait, there is more! 🙂 This thread is meant for the exchange of everyone's experience with Riru and Xposed modules running with EdXposed. The installation is pretty simple: 1) In Magisk, install "Riru - Core", reboot, 2) install "Riru - EdXposed" (SandHook), reboot, 3) install "EdXposed Manager" (github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposedManager/releases). Once everything is set up, install Xposed modules like crazy ... and prepare yourself for a hell of crashes and boot halts 🥰. Since we do not have TWRP with data decryption yet, you have to be prep

You guys are comparing Sailfish with Android, behaviour is obviously going to be different. Most those audio issues are certainly just about software and driver adjustments.

There's quite a few variations that are more like hubs than just usb-hdmi. If you want to use it as a video player to a tv, I suggest look for one you can also charge from (they'll have a usb-c input to hook up charger). Some of them will have built in usb hub or sd-card slots, etc.

The device encryption/signing keys are not kept in flash, they are in a separate non-volatile storage which cannot be read outside of TEE (the walled-off "trusted" environment). So no, it does not defeat locked bootloaders nor does it expose your userdata (because userdata is encrypted with a complicated algorithm that uses both the device encryption key and your passcode). But it does mean that if you aren't encrypting your userdata, it can be trivially exfiltrated. Which is one of the main reasons I won't make a build that uses unencrypted userdata. I have not signed any NDA w

EskeRahn posted a NVRAM variable here, but how do I set it in fastboot?

Let us help F(x)tec with some show casing! I hope everybody will flash it around and spread the word to everybody they think might be just a little bit interested, or might know one that is... At Crackberry a guy was asking where he could try it hands on. So if you are willing to be contacted by someone that wants a hands on before buying, here is a tread to post your Country, state/region, nearest larger town, Then people can create an account in here and send a PM to arrange further. Please mark the geography in bold and/or a larger font, to make i

Hi, I'm making this thread to store some of the tricks I've found when using the Pro1. I'll edit the first post with additions and corrections as they come up. To force Portrait when keyboard is stored and Landscape when keyboard is deployed In "Slider Settings" make sure that "Landscape Orientation Lock" is on. Install "Lock Screen Rotation": <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.ale32thebest.lockscreenrotation> and select "Landscape Mode". Contrary to what you may expect, this works! Apps are now forcibly confined to portrait/landscape mode depend

Someone somewhere reported their cable just died. No noticable damage, just stopped working. So worth trying another cable before sending it back.

I am typing this on my Pro1! I opened it yesterday, and here are my first impressions: Keyboard First, the main selling point. The keyboard feels good, though it's most comfortable when standing, sitting in a chair or laying on my back in bed. Not on my side. It's like having a mini laptop! Sub-netbook? Sub-Chromebook, since it comes with an OS from Google?🤔 Setup I moved my SIM card from my Moto Z Play (used 2016-2020) to my you-know-what. At first it didn't work, but removing the card and putting it back did the trick. Setting it up was easy. I also turned on

He's mistaken. If you have finqwerty layouts installed, you can use them. The layouts included with stock (besides german for qwertz) don't use the fn-key at all, so the only way to get slash and question mark on qwerty is to not select any layout at all - but then shift won't work right, so finqwerty is a better solution anyway.

@netman thx, I'll try it tomorrow after work. I used mkbootimg and unpackbootimg from osm0sis but for the ramdisk I used gzip and cpio. And I have no idea, which algorithm I have to use for packing.

Try restarting it, maybe the Pro1 has just forgotten that it was on or there is a display bug. You could also install an app to watch the battery drainage or if it actually drains the battery. Lastly, have you tried different cables (not adapters)?

Coronaviruses can remain on surfaces for up to 9 days, study finds "An analysis revealed that the viruses normally survive on surfaces between four and five days, but can remain infectious for up to nine days."

I've done some research and this problem seems to occur rarely but I haven't found any fixes. Some users report that the problem appeared after months of using the feature. It may sound stupid, but have you tried turning it off and on again? If that doesn't help, you could delete cache and dalvik cache and if that doesn't help either, you could restore factory settings, but this should be the last step. Edit: With Android 10 resizing is also possible in landscape, so don't lose all your hopes.

The main part of this is you have to boot to bootloader before executing this command. From android, you can execute adb reboot bootloader; I think you're sfos, so you're stuck using the voldown+power method to get there which always works.

I had a good experience video chatting with my brother yesterday over fb messenger. No sync problems, audio and video worked well. So it does look like call quality is rather inconsistent, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's awful. Next time I get issues with fb messenger video call I'll try rebooting to see if that helps.

Hi, I am from Hong Kong. I know most of the city in China will return to work until 20th Feb. Also, most of the check point of Hong Kong are closed. There is only one land transportation method can be used to ship the stock. It is very disgusting that the Chinese Gov conceal the news about the virus. When you get the phone, PLEASE DISINFECT IT. More than 10k chinese is infected. Absolutely 10k is the number released by Chi Gov. I believe that the actual number is far greater.

Was looking for an app that could activate the screen when opening the front cover (like on my XPeria X, which uses a magnetic sensor). Found WaveUp on the F-Droid Store. The app uses the proximity sensor and works excellently in both portrait and landscape. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.jarsilio.android.waveup/

Odd. Could it but app dependent? I have no idea if an app can set signal something to the OS on minimum requirements? What Apps did you try? Even "Settings" and the "Snapdragon Camera" apps works here. ADD: The minimum size is about 30% though.

In my experience, phone calls on Fxtec Pro1 are unreasonably quiet, and the volume keys don't seem to affect that. Speaker button helps a little, not much. Music player, SirenSong, has no problems - plays perfectly fine, can play loudly, and volume controls work. I think Android had quiet calls, too, but haven't tested music on it - installed Sailfish right away. Thank you. Best wishes, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Per aspera ad astra...

@Craig I activated the terminal for Lineage/Android in the settings, then opened it and entered 'nano test' and typed around in there.

It was a long shot, I have noticed that sometimes adjusting seemingly unrelated settings fixes things. My Pro1 does not have volume issues.

But I'm not talking about bluetooth handset. The phone itself produces way too loud sound.

Yes, the device boot ROM communicates with a very simple protocol to download firehose, which is an ELF binary. After verification, it simply runs the binary not unlike running a command from a terminal. I'm not sure if the OEM builds the firehose, but they do sign it. An OEM typically has a separate signing key for each device model. Yes the firehose can be used with any tool. And of course access to the firehose can be dangerous. This is one reason the qfp file is not a simple zip file. No I don't have firehose source. But I could look into releasing some

Ok, so the restore-tool sends the idealte-signed (or is it qualcomm-signed?) firehose programmer to the phone, and then communicates with said programmer over USB to send it the stuff it has to flash (or receive whatever it reads), am I getting this right? So in theory, if one were to take the signed firehose from your tool it could be used with the Linaro tool or something similar? And I take it that you don't have the firehose source (and if you had you couldn't sign the resulting binary), but what with the code from cyngn? I suppose you are not at liberty to release the source of

Yass! Oh, that sounds very interesting! How much is your tool dependent on the NDA stuff F(x)tec gave you? Do you think it is possible to develop something like it as open source, and add reading capabilities to it? I mean, that sounds like a prime way to fully, completely, back up your device :D But apart from that, if you can read flash with EDL, doesn't that kind of defeat locked bootloaders? As in, now I can dump the data from the phone before I tamper with it to get the decryption key? Or is that completely mitigated by a part of the encryption key being stored in a secu

Thank you, so much! (Receiving an award) I'd like to thank my manager, my parents, all my colleagues and also folks at F(x)tec for making this possible. (Applause and music) ... Who's next? 😉

Vienna, Austria

Warsaw, Poland

Geneva, Switzerland, here. Will install LineageOS soon + root it.

Munich, Germany. Not yet received, but will receive before general availability.

Nuremberg, Germany. Please get in touch via this forum first.

Usually a giant padded mousepad on a table should be sufficient. I do worry everyday about dropping the phone during the daily commute in the train. Anodised metal looks cool, but oh so slippery

Am from Singapore. Yes, this is a great idea.

Now we just need to find a business that offers padded phone testing rooms. :-)

USA, Minnesota, near Minneapolis and St. Paul (Twin Cities)

Great idea! I'd like to try one before buying it in a few months.

LOL It takes all kinds What's the word on the latest greatest screen protector to get? Really comes down to one that doesn't look/feel much worse than using it naked. Like LINGERIE

I made a leather pouch for the Pro1. I used cow leather, thickness about 2 mm. All the parts are glued with super glue gel adhesive which remains flexible. I made some holes to see the led and to get stereo sound! There is no flap for closing, just a gap that opens to let the device in and out. see pictures for the details. If you want to try something similar, make sure that the inner part is about 1 mm wider than the phone to ensure it’s easy to slide it out.

Please also note these interesting news

Lol delayed until who knows when~ This saga of delays has reached comical levels. I wish everyone in China good health and safety.

Question...can anyone with fx test to install this audio mod driver / app ? It is Viper4Android https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx For me it is really needed app for really good audio output from phone, but i am not sure if it can works on stock FX firmware. It works without problem on lineage. Check if is under driver status NEON enabled, Normal status and processing yes EDIT...i know that it is not exactly about qwerty and landscape

Unfortunately stock kernel does not have pstore configured. So no can do. 😞
