I think there is a time limit on edits on this forum, so I'll post updates on this page instead. Here's a guide on how to get Gentoo Prefix running under SailfishOS. I've made it for the Pro1, but you might be able to use it for another device. If you know what Gentoo Prefix is, do not expect it to be the smooth ride I'm sure it usually is. If you know what Gentoo is, but not what Gentoo Prefix is: the short of it is that this basically lets you install Gentoo as a normal user in the directory of your choice, minus the kernel (since one is already running). You cannot mess up your

No there's is a difference ... Normal orders are delivered before than pre-orders... Courtesy ...FX Tec

Which goes to show how much this outdated device with its outdated CPU etc. is not worth its list price...

I just got my Pro1 today (after a really long period of waiting) :-) I am struggling to root it now

test14 is up. Changes: * Fix QWERTZ apostrophe. * Disable double tap to wake. Also updated github repos.

You forgot to warn people: This is a tutorial to prevent OTAs from installing!

COVID has really screwed with things regarding shipping, I've done a lot of orders in the last few days (Including a Pro1, Order #55xxx) and yeah, some places you simply can't ship to/from at the moment for a reasonable cost. (eg. I've got some used PC parts coming, PhysX PPU from Texas? No problem. Radeon x1950Pro from England? Not an issue. A second x1950Pro from Germany? Fifty Euros to ship to Australia because we have to pay for premium shipping to get DHL to ship here.) I wouldn't be surprised if some of the skipped over orders had something along those lines going on. It really s

Your sacrifice is greatly appreciated, dare I hope it was a QWERTZ? 😁

Thanks a lot. I'm going to mention it in the OP.

Official OTAs won't install when the checksum of the system partition does not match the expected value. Even remounting /system as rw, without further modifications, will change its checksum. Magisk prevents this by linking files to /system during boot without altering the system partition itself. This should also benefit LineageOS, because Magisk modules and settings survive /system updates.

Was the price of 786 and then some a Freudian slip from an Intel fanboy?

orders and preorders = same = waiting and waiting 😄

When did pre-orders became just orders? Was it when the deliveries started? Fxtec main site still has a button for creating a pre-order.

No, I hadn't thought of that. I'll do it next time, for the good of mankind our community!

I managed to flash the LineageOS recovery! I found some USB hub, connected it to the USB 3.0 port, connected the device to the hub and fastboot flash worked. I have absolutely no idea why, but here's the USB dump.

Today was the best moment I've had with the pro1. I bent it with my hands, threw it across the room into a wall, I retrieved it and the thing was still on even though the screen was cracked, and the keyboard dislodged from the body! I pulled my sim and sdcard from the phone so I could finish the job. I took it out to my workbench and smashed it to pieces with a hammer. It was truly the most satisfying moment I had with the pro1. The spontaneous reboots for days on end and then stability for a couple weeks, only to start rebooting again. The ability of the camera to take one

Time to get out the ouija board app!

My phone seems to be imagining touches. I do not mean me accidentally touching the edges --- that's annoying, but I can live with it. I mean this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/jDNKGRVmvXtfF2QN8 This does not happen all the time, I haven't found any regularity so far. It does mostly happen in the same area of the screen.
