Alright things are moving right along now... I've got the touch screen margin/deadzone implemented and a nice little settings preference for it. The display margin will not happen until later, if at all. That's much more difficult to implement and intrusive to the system (it will likely require a reboot to take effect). I'll be adding a keyboard layout setting (qwerty/qwertz) next. Then I'll see what I can do with the fingerprint reader mitigations.

Yes it would be nice with a formalised channel for this. Currently we have two threads: One for discussing and testing possible bugs and the like, and one that was supposed to have confirmed bugs... But they are not 'clean', so hard to find anything in them. There is an unofficial bug-list here that is more easy to read. But a more formalised system would certainly be to everyone's benefit....

As a preorderer I would easily pay 100€ more for no accessories but the phone itself.

This is very interesting! Are you able to reproduce the issue? If you can then maybe Pro1 is rebooting in specific situation when there is no network or the network is changing. Reboots seems to happen during traveling. It is common that there are areas without network when you are driving between cities. Similar thing might happen when you put phone to metal locker which blocks network (like a Faraday cage).

No. 1: Full TWRP support No. 2: ExFAT support for large sdcards (generally 64gb+) No. 3: to take a time out @tdm after all that hard work/support 🙂

I think it's safe to say that we're by-and-large the 'tinkering' types that enjoy spending time on an unrestricted/unlocked device even if it makes no rational sense. I like having something different. It makes me proud even if it's behind the times and absolutely flawed lol.

I suggest reading up on what Magisk does and why. With great power comes great responsibility and it doesn't sound like you exactly knew what you were doing. You can get by fine with rooting stock, but modifying the system partition for real will break delta updates as OTAs are, so even if they'd allow it, it would not be a great idea.

Poking around a bit in the touchscreen driver. Adding code for the side dead zones is trivial and it works here. Hooking it up to a sysfs node and adding a setting item in the settings app will be a bit more work, but very doable. Not sure about the fingerprint reader yet. I may implement two options: one to only activate the reader when the screen is not off and one to limit the amount of time between reads. I personally like the latter -- I love to be able to unlock the device without pressing any physical keys. But I'm not really sure exactly how to implement either of them

There is an add-on su package for Lineage. See the extras download page.

I've been working on that two weeks ago (didn't have time after that), I was still stuck at the building stage with caf sources. I'll try it this weekend without caf, maybe that's my issue.

The Tasker Profile "Edge Block" created by @elvissteinjr works really well to solve the problem with typing the top number row on the physical keyboard. You don't even have to really know how to use Tasker. Lol. I don't. Just import by tapping the Profile and scenes tabs and away you go. Has advantages over Edge Null as explained in the post, especially the not getting kicked out by Android.

For me, I have tried to check what bands my carriers support but it does not seem to be an easy task. It seems both of them currently support only B3, B7 and B20 for LTE. The provider which I don't use for data has B1 and B8 bands for 3G. The other service provider which I have 4G and mobile data, only supports B1 for 3G. Both of them have 2G as fallback (at 900/1800 MHz). Looking at coverage map, the carrier I use also for data has good coverage for 4G but fair coverage for 3G and practically full coverage at 2G. The other carrier has fair coverage for 4G but good coverage f

Now having caught up a bit 😄 "What is the maximum dead-zone that allows us to drag an icon from one screen to the next in various launchers? With Trebuchet you have to be really close before it moves over." The Microsoft launcher also has this problem of needing to be very close to the edge you have to be on the curve for it to trigger the other screen.

Erhmm did you read what we have been debating in this thread since yesterday? Just asking... 😇

With this would it be possible to have the screen size generally reduced so the curved parts are not used for display at all?

My Pro1 restarts itself when I put it into a metal locker. WiFi connected, both SIMs inserted.

Did you mean that Night Sight is slow? The whole idea behind it is to take sevaral shots and combine them to one picture. There are some algorithms that can produce geat pictures in low light. It is the "magic" behind Gcam.

Agree with both of you. Funny in that I have never referred to my phones as sliders (although they have been, or pop-up, or flip and spin, lol). I just always referred to them as tactile, or physical, landscape keyboard phones. This was perfectly descriptive, and never became confusing in conversation. Speaking to someone who isn't familiar with a Pro1 they wouldn't have a clue what a clack phone, or a clacker is and I would be afraid it would just introduce more confusion.

I take it that he is referring to a traditional slider where the screen isn't angled, but is parallel with the keyboard (a good example is my Droid 4).

I'm not saying that it is a big issue, just some lost functionality, that might be missed. There might be other issues we do not know of. Say some app that requires an edge swipe to reach the very edge, or really close by. What is the maximum dead-zone that allows us to drag an icon from one screen to the next in various launchers? With Trebuchet you have to be really close before it moves over. So I like the software-bezel idea David mentioned with completely reducing the apparent display size. Optimally an option reducing either just touch or touch+display or perhaps even a

The other reason is for aesthetics, so someone who doesn't want to see content on a curved display can have a flat display. Related to that, would be square corners, not rounded. Aesthetics are probably way down on the priority list, but just mentioning for the future. I have no idea if you have control over things like this, but the pull down menu that has all the system shortcuts in it does not fit the screen when in landscape mode with the default settings for screen size and font size. The edit and settings buttons are off screen and can barely be accessed by tapping the

You can scroll with a vertical swipe anywhere on the screen for that. The scroll bar is just a visual indicator of your position in the list. I couldn't imagine requiring the user to hit that tiny scroll bar with their finger.

I don't use LOS yet, but just contributing ideas. With the dead zones, an option to change the physical resolution that is reported to apps would also be nice. That way, edge UI elements that a null solution would make inactive can be solved for. Another to add to the list is double tap on screen to wake it. I can't remember if that is already available.

Holy crap, I finally got a2dp working. That took waaaaaaay too long, but it's working now. Next build will have it, probably tomorrow since I am a bit busy today and there's some other stuff I want to fix/add also.

When I first saw there was going to be a tilt, not straight slider, I was concerned the angle would be annoying when holding the device. I've found that isn't the case, and the angle makes it better for reading when placed on a table (like while eating alone or something). I've got much better with opening than December, but I still feel this will remain an ongoing complaint by reviewers and new users. And if there were competition, and someone walked into a phone store w/o any prior experience and compared pro¹ to any other regular slider, they'd buy the regular slider, cuz pro¹ so d

Did you read the post right before yours? In fact, tdm is building it into the OS, and at that point, those using tasker to do it will no longer need to. But also note tasker works with stock too, for those who haven't moved to lineage (yet), so it's still a good solution imo.

http://en.key-test.ru/ I had been using that site as one way to verify my Fkeys keymap worked right, and for no particular reason decided to verify all the other keys too. Most behave as expected, but for some unexplained reason, - and ' arent identified correctly. In Firefox, both keys identify as left click. In Chrome, ' registers as ` while - identifies as left click. In both browsers, if I actually type those characters into address bar or text field somewhere, they work as expected. And Supertux identifies them normally. So something about the way that particular w

It didn't in my experiences. But, in general, the magic in GCam does seem to revolve around taking many pictures in the background and doing some magical processing on them to come up with a good looking composite picture, so it can be slower, depending on the mode used. If you use regular HDR+, that's faster than HDR+ Enhanced, for instance, but the output isn't as good in difficult situations. Of course, I'm speaking in nitpicky terms. All of this is much better than the camera sensors and software of several years ago, which is what I am transitioning from. 🙂 This is the GCam p

Retractable micro laptop? 🙂

Exactly. The word has to be descriptive, and it won't help to find a rarity deep in the English dictionary that no one understand. Maybe one should see it more as the keyboard dropping down than the display popping up? A jaw dropper perhaps... 😜 If one holds the display part and gives the back edge of the lower part a slight push with a third finger, i is actually a bit like a jaw dropping... Ideas have been thrown around in this thread after @Waxberry asking

If you lift from the back and guide the front with your thumb, the Pro 1 opens very quietly. You don't even have to do it slowly. You just don't let it fly into place on it's own.

I could extract images from the current stock and make a EDL package and/or a fastboot package. But I've been rather busy and quite honestly it's not a priority. The only use I have for stock is extracting vendor blobs for the Lineage build... 😄

I have no idea what's taking place with your carrier, but with AT&T in the US all the switches are grayed out for me too; however, but both VoLTE and VoWiFi work. The only way to turn VoLTE off is to use the switch enable/disable 4G/LTE switch in the mobile network configuration. If it is on it will place VoLTE calls by default (when service allows), if it is off then it won't. The fact that they are grayed out in the off position is a known Android issue.

What I really enjoy is reading with the keyboard open and the book forced to portrait. This might only be a pleasure for right-handers, but wrapping my left hand around the keyboard gives me a very firm, comfortable grip while my right index finger turns pages, or my right hand grabs my coffee. My hand doesn't get tired holding it this way. It's perfect for reading.

"A Better Camera" and "Camera FV-5" seem to work well. Using Googe Photo's for colour/image corrections and I have had some very stunning results.

The plain sliders have several issues you do not have with the superior mechanism, and it is related to the simplicity of the two-arms system. 1) The slides are almost impossible to keep clean, and you thus have to take a lot of care to avoid pocket debris and other dirt to get into the rails. 2) You have to press either almost exactly at the middle or use two thumbs evenly, unless the rails are totally clean and well lubricated 3) The display does not tilt, though some models offer an additional hinge to accomplish that. 4) as @VaZso pointed out the comlpexity means more error pron

No, but it's still fun to read.

I always felt absolute zero qualified as 'cold'.

Generally an AC high voltage input might have the issue, and a low voltage DC is very unlikely. Could be induction but I guess surface currents could be an issue too, or simply an 'unclean' ripled DC signal. It would be nice with a setting for the sensitivity, to adjust to match different humidity and skin texture.

...And you find that mentioned in the middle of my reply to the OP... 😜

Thanks to @Raksura for posting this in another thread, but let me put it here too, for more to see the progress.

@shani You will get used to the mechanism it in a short time and hopefully you will change your mind. If you have ever used Nokia N97 (Mini) E7 N950 you will probably this is a "feature" instead of a design flaw. I think the only this that can be mis-leading is calling it a "slider" with the fact that it uses a lift-turn hinge. "Slider" would mis-lead user to think it slides like Droid 4 and can push from middle of the screen. (Instead of lifting / pushing the edge) Maybe we could invent a new word calling this?
