I am no longer sure for which one, but there are two microphones, one at the bottom and one on the back, near the camera. This rubber is for one of the two.

The Pro1x can't do true HDMI out. It can only use a Miracast cable like the one linked below and a Chinese app. It has been noted by someone in Discord that you can deny the Chinese app all permissions and it still works. 🙂 I have not obtained the cable or tried this-- not a use case I need. https://www.amazon.com/Android-Mirroring-Charging-Smartphones-Projector/dp/B08LN8Z6QX or https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801266552716.html

So I've taken my phone apart, and it's been pretty disastrous. The only good news is that my battery still holds a lot of charge, the multimeter reported a voltage of 4.13v. The problems started when I tried to reassemble it. The connector for the fingerprint sensor is rage-inducing to snap back on, and after 40 mins I though I finally succeeded when I realised I broke off the ribbon cable. So no more fingerprint sensor. 😠 While doing so, some small piece of rubber seems to have fallen off, and I can't figure out where it goes after scouring the inside of the phone, the case, and F
