I've seen it reported that the Pro1 doesn't come with its own recovery. There is a standard recovery included with the phone's firmware. I think there may have been some confusion due to the way you need to access recovery mode. To access recovery mode, you have to either: A) Hold down the volume up when you boot the phone (before the logo screen comes up) or B) Use "adb reboot recovery" from a connected computer or C) Boot into the bootloader (by holding down the volume down when you boot the phone (before the logo screen comes up) O

Let's see, there are a number of games I play on the Pro1 Where Is the Setting Game How Do I Make This Stop Search Game What Does This Do Challenge The Volume Game Puzzle The Notification Light Game Holding The Pro Russian Roulette Can You Hear Me Challenge I find new games to play EVERY time I use it. It's such fun :D

Basically it's a standard Qualcomm device. Meaning that data is encrypted and this cannot be disabled. The method of encryption varies: stock uses FDE while my lineage ROM uses FBE. There is currently no TWRP that can decrypt data but it's on my todo list. If you mean a locked boot loader, yes it comes locked by default, and can be unlocked. However, being a device aimed at hobbyists, FxTec chose to disable Secure Boot. Which basically means that you cannot force your device to only run OEM signed code -- it will always allow you to flash a custom ROM

FYI... for those following this thread: The Linux and Windows tools have been updated and now flash xbl properly. This has been verified with real bricked devices (no shortage of those recently!) I'll try to update the MacOS version within a day or two. I asked the Sailfish developers to please remove the option to flash internal storage partitions. They had no idea so many people were doing this, and said they would fix it soon. That's great, but why didn't they know? Did nobody file a bug report or anything after bricking their device?!?

Here's the details from android source (emphasis added): https://source.android.com/devices/input/key-character-map-files ALPHA: A keyboard with all the letters, and maybe some numbers. An alphabetic keyboard supports text entry directly but may have a condensed layout with a small form factor. In contrast to a FULL keyboard, some symbols may only be accessible using special on-screen character pickers. In addition, to improve typing speed and accuracy, the framework provides special affordances for alphabetic keyboards such as auto-capitalization and toggled /

If not mistaken Swiftkey can do that for you.

Finqwerty is not an 'active' app. It 'just' presents the system with some alternative pre-fabricated .kcm keymaps, and lets the system do all the active work. The KeyMapper is installed as a keyboard driver, that is an active app, and let you map things one by one. Nice versatility, but quite a bit of work to set up fully. I do not know if the setups can be exported and edited in an editor and reimported though - that could help. (Unless I'm mistaken the keymapper only handles individual keys not combinations, but i could be wrong) KeyMapper requires a LOT of high privileges, so

Sure, it seems silly to me also. But that's the way the keyboard is printed. I would map the fn keys to something else but they are required to generate '/' and '?'. But the beauty of the new keyboard driver is that you can remap all the keys. The gpio keys aren't remappable yet but I'd like to make them remappable before I finish.

I think he gets a new one sent to him every 2 weeks. 🙂

Perfect! It took some time to configure it the way I want, but it solved for almost everything. It took me a while to get "i" to auto cap. I had to enable autocorrect by tapping on that icon. It can be a bit odd about learning some shorthand capitalization I use with a friend, but I seem to be able to get it to work eventually, if I keep trying. The only 3 things it doesn't have for the physical keyboard settings are: - No double space to insert a period. That setting is only in the generic settings, not in the physical keyboard settings. - When you type punctuation, it inserts

Even if the card was too big/wrong format/wrong block size (etc) I think it would at least know that an SD card had been inserted. My phone isn't even detecting that there's an SD card in place.

They do.

Roguelikes! The keyboard lets us play "real" roguelikes, not just the ones that have been simplified for mobile. Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup Nethack Brogue

Possibly stupid questions but they gotta be asked: Did you try rebooting after inserting the SD card? Did you look in settings->storage?

Please note that this is NOT the straight apostrophe, it is the backwards slanted one (apostrophe not accent!), printed left of Q, My English isn't good enough to even know where I could (or should?) use a slanted apostrophe over a straight one. Please tell me where it is used. (see also this) And the Alt functions are Stock Android afaik...

Don't know if Eske gave him the idea, But Anssi asked me what I thought of the idea back in December and I told him I thought it was a good solution (which I continue to think) so you might have to blame me too. 😄

This is in the splash partition. It's a BMP file with a custom header prepended. I don't know the header format off the top of my head though. Feel free to play with it, it's a rather easy customization. Also please note the "powered by Android" text, including font, size and color, is mandated by Google for play store certification. There is no use requesting that FxTec change it.

This was incorrect. I posted that before receiving my phone. I posted instructions on how to access the Pro1 recovery mode here:

Never uses PTP either, but it CAN make sense if you want to show images on some computer you are not 100% happy connecting to. As the PC is not supposed to be able to access other than the photostuff. (the pc can still copy/delete/modify those, but should not be able to do it outside the picture folders)

I tried some testing without much success with Light Flow a couple days ago. I didn't do a lot of testing, because I got sidetracked with a bug where gmail notifications won't come through in a timely manner and that is what I was using to test notifications. Turns out google changed something on purpose to not make gmail notifications be timely. They say that email is something that doesn't need to be dealt with on in a timely manner. Now, either they are covering up for their mistake, or it is yet another case of google thinking they know what we want, when they clearly don't. The way a

It seems there's no dedicated thread about gaming on Pro1 so here we go. Please, share your favourite games you play, whether your games utilize the keyboard anyhow, how's the landscape support etc. I'm not regular gamer but like to get to games occasionally. Mostly retro gaming or emulation of older systems (GB, GBA, SNES, SMS, PS1, PSP) or games of my child- and teenagehood (80-90s era). RPGs being my favourite genre, I discovered just recently that TES Morrowind runs nicely via OpenMW (or better with OMW from F-Droid store) on Android. And Pro1 is perfect with the keyboard. I didn't try

Tried to pair my Pro1 with my car's handsfree bluetooth and ran into issues. The pairing appears successful on the phone side but just waits forever and eventually times out on the car's console. The car appears in the pro1's "previously connected devices" list, and the pro1 is listed by the cars pairing menu as a paired device, but it won't ever connect. When I'm in the car the bluetooth screen on the pro1 just says "connecting..." forever under the vehicle handsfree device. Handsfree system lists "Phone Calls", "Media Audio", and "Contact Sharing" as available services. I've succes

When I get home, I'll try it again and post the output I get from command prompt and tell you guys exactly what I did. I just want it enabled after reading some stories about how some owners cannot charge their phone after it dies. I don't want to risk that happening to me

I haven't pushed my code up to github yet, I'm testing some changes. Android seems to be unhappy when you tell it that you can generate all possible keycodes and it rejects the keyboard (amusingly, it says the internal keyboard is not connected while getevent happily reports all the events). So I'm trying to figure out exactly what it's checking. I fixed ghosting by switching to polling when any key is down and then back to irq when all keys are released. That's not optimal -- I would like to only mask the interrupt and poll for rows where keys are down (and thus ghosting is pos

Besides switfkey as netman mentioned as workaround, hopefully that's coming to stock in next OTA. It's a simple thing for them to fix, they have to define our keyboard as alpha (thumb keyboard) and then you get optional auto-caps, sticky shift/alt, longpress ltters get you accented letters popup, etc. They accidentally defined it as a full sized keyboard for touch typing, so Android is doing the behavior intended for when someone connects a full sized keyboard thru usb/bt.

I would not at all be surprised to see F(x)tec introduce a soft shell that can be used either as is or adhered into a flip case. Sort of similar to what we do when we take out the inner shell of a P20 Pro flip case, and then (optionally) glue it back in. This could be an adhesive strip, Let us see if we can not tempt @Waxberry to do that. I think we will have a hard time doing a two part case, but we will see. The first I got today for Honor 9 lite as expected is too small, but cutting off one end the front part sort of works, but not good. so hopefully something can be done with a l

So if you uninstall FinQWERTY, do the layout options disappear from the Android UI?

Great recommendation. Liking this a lot.

Yes pure presentation thing has no meaning in language.

Got an easy way for you to do it - there's an app on openrepos for it. https://openrepos.net/content/coderus/splashscreen-changer Have you looked at the links on the sailfish wiki? The manual method is described there, along with some sample screens, including one that just changes 'powered by android' to powered by sailfishos' or whatever. And we can do full 2160x1080 even. https://together.jolla.com/question/220410/wiki-fxtec-pro1-sailfish-os-tips-and-tricks And by the way, you need to figure out how to stop spamming "Thank you. Best wishes, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Per aspe

Definitely possible. The only semi unique things about my setup might be: - Magisk root (no modules used and no changes made by me to any system files) - fastboot was used to enable charging when phone is powered off - I do not have boot security enabled - I did do one factory reset on the 20191203 firmware that my phone shipped after unlocking the bootloader. I then allowed the OTA update to happen to get me to the 20191210 firmware. I then used Magisk manager to patch the boot image and gain root. I then did the final OTA to bring me to 20200106. I did undo root and

That is the one, linked in the op. No root or anything here. After pressing Test and ok, you do press Power to turn the screen off and wait a bit, right? It does NOT show the colour when the screen is On, nether immediately after screen Off. I would say within 5 seconds.

Or just long press on them when they come up, and tell it not to send them anymore.

Yes please. A hub thread with links to main stuff seems to be the best choice. You can use spoiler tags to make 2-level grouping Or make a wiki where people can suggest changes (not one where people can change directly; we already know how much work wikipedia requires)

Nice. On the keyboard, I would extend the list a bit of other non-obvious things (in no particular order here) Alt+Tab and Alt+Sh+Tab : Task switching Logo-key : Home Alt+Sym : Reawakens keyboard-light like close&open (FinQwerty only) Ctrl-Space : Rotate between installed keyboard-layouts (e.g. US and a national one) Alt pressed and released : Launches Emoji (Does NOT work with SwiftKey installed 😖) Esc : Back (If FinQwerty installed ONLY Back if the app does not use the Esc key - e.g Termux does) Fn+Esc : Back (Even if app understands Esc, Fi

Rotation Control https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.crape.rotationcontrol I have been using the Rotation Control App for many years now on multiple tablets and QWERTY phones. Allows for upsidedown portrait and landscape modes. Will force portrait only apps to landscape, sometimes hiding screen elements and buttons, some apps are just not meant to be landscape. Has notification widgets that can quickly switch rotation back, works perfectly on the Pro1. I also have the "Landscape Orientation Lock" ON, even though I am sure Rotation Control would handle it solo.

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

Thanks for the confirmation that recovery is overwritten. Learned the same in discord overnight 😉 For others reading here, obviously do not reflash whole phone if you do TWRP backups but only /boot/hybris-boot.img (which you have to backup! . c.f. these install notes; https://gist.github.com/Kabouik/f77539b3eb6a77b032d2fa827271b81d )

We dont have a recovery partition. So when you flash twrp to boot with fastboot, then install sfos with twrp, you're overwriting twrp. So if you want to use twrp to backup, you flash twrp back to boot with fastboot, do your backup, then use fastboot to flash the sfos boot.img when done. If I understand right. (If we had a bootloader that allowed us to boot images like my Moto Z²F, or had a recovery partition like my Moto Photon Q, this wouldn't be necessary!)

minor typo, fashboot → fastboot
