  1. Update: I can now run the X.org X11 server inside my Devuan chroot. Yes, the real thing, not TigerVNC or TightVNC. The nice thing with X.org is that I can use it with xorgxrdp in the chroot and connect to my Linux distro via a much better-performing (native) RDP connection as compared to using VNC as backend for XRDP. I still use the Microsoft Remote Desktop 8 App combined with the default xrdp-0.9.9 shipping with Devuan 3/Debian 10. As far as I can see, one can find no information on how to do this on the internet. Either it is really tricky and I am a genius, or no one cares about

  2. I'll let you know. RL took over to pull me away from finishing setting up my Pro1. So far everything is working great.

  3. Of all the days to release the first official 18.1 build, they chose this one.

  4. I'm in not quite the same but remotely similar kind of a situation, with a device I got second-hand that had already been flashed with LineageOS, but without root, and sooner or later I'm going to want Magisk and hide-root and Xposed to pass SafetyNet and enable Google Pay and the security token app for my employer's VPN. From what I've read, I'd say we need forget about TWRP for the time being, though, because there's no official version yet that would handle decryption, so it's no use for backups. Also, I don't know whether someone is working on getting such a fully-functional TWRP for

  5. There are several links to various stock rom packages in this thread: That thread also has instructions for rooting the stock rom. It will require wiping data. This thread Has yet-more images, and also instructions to roll back to older releases. Personally, I recommend rooting, installing all the magisk stuff you want to use, and then testing the ability to upgrade without losing root before you add any other data. You have to be very careful to not modify the system partition to preserve the ability to upgrade.

  6. Ah, just noticed there is a MindTheGapps for Android 11, linked on the Lineage site. I'm going with those.

  7. @EskeRahnLooks like we need a Lineage 18.1 Official Builds: Discussion thread. What should we be using fo Gapps? NikGapps has been being used in the unofficial thread. Opengapps only has test builds for Android !!, but I notice both OpenGapps and NikGaaps latest files have the same date. Are they the same or coincidence? I'm probably going to try NikApps Basic

  8. It is definitively not just "a small matter of coding". I think (but unsure) it is all about a specific private key and if I rememben well, not even F(x)tec has that key, but their partner. I don't know if there is a workaround however.

  9. Thank you Rob. I noticed the decryption was a problem. It sounds like that's an issue for backups, whether TWRP or not. I'm still wondering... why is decryption not handled? Is there a private key that Google/Fxtec isn't revealing, or is this just "a small matter of coding"?

  10. Regardless of whether you use a case or not (I hate cases and don't use any on my Pro1), I highly recommend having skin on the back of your Pro1 to provide more grip (which ultimately protects the Pro1 by eliminating the slickness of the back)

  11. 1. An IGG perk is NOT a contract, which is clearly stated by IGG in many places, including when you select your perk. 2. They substituted a slower, less powerful SOC, but you are right, it won't change it that much. 3. While they do like to show off games on their Pro1s in their tweets, that isn't the main point of the pro1 and it won't be for the Pro1 X either. 4, They have carefully explained everything in the IGG Updates including what happened and why they made the choices they made. You are entitled not to like those choices, but such changes are the things that happen wh
