  1. Gotcha and thanks. I have already swapped the display on my Pro1 via the unglueing, but I have another Pro1 where the display has simply stopped working, possibly due to the twin ribbon cable being plugged and unplugged so many times for various repairs, so was hoping a new frame would fix that, either that or try to find a new ribbon cable. That's a shame, I actually bought the above frame in the vain hope that it did fit, all but 2 of the screw holes and ribbon cable connectors all seem to be in the right place, at the very least it should tell me if it's the ribbon cable or frame that

  2. For the Pro1 it's pretty easy. Just Fastboot flash stock. You don't have to set up stock, Just flash it and sign in. I'm pretty sure the version of stock you download, from August 2020 was the latest update so it should have the patch. You may not even have to sign in, but I have always done that to be sure it was a proper install. Then reflash Lineage. And, yes, it means you have to re-setup Lineage-- there is no way to patch Lineage properly. The patch is built into stock. Annoying amount of work because no proper backup. Lineage is supposed to have seedvault, but I have no experience

  3. This. That's precisely why I gave up on all those alternative OSes that are said to be more "Linux-like" than Android but, actually, are just AOSP piggybacking another UI via libhybris. Like you, I settled early for a combination of (Google-free) LineageOS and a chrooted Debian Linux install, giving me native access to the huge Android ecosystem of apps. Unfortunately, the latter is just necessary nowadays. On the bright side, I can cover almost all my needs with FLOSS Android apps. Installing some alt OS that claims to be "real Linux" but, actually, runs on a containerized vers

  4. Yeah, that was exactly what I came to realize. I wanted to give it a try, as said, to give my funding for the Pro1 X campaign some sense. I still think the campaign anf Pro 1X is cool, despite all the struggles they and we went thru. But I already run a Astro Slide with Termux X11 on Android there, and that works surprisingly well, without me being forced to jump thru hoops getting, e.g., 2FA banking apps to work, which simply run on main Android. Also, in the past maybe two years, I found myself using the keyboard, Linux environment less and less, so there is really no point for me to ev

  5. Thanks @claude0001 and to the whole forum. I went from stock Android to Ubuntu Touch and back, without rendering my device (even more) useless. And while Ubuntu on a phone is nice, it really is far less powerful then I have imagined. No Firefox, no Thunderbird, ages away from running docker ... it sure works, it's also actually nice, but by no means could that ever be my daily driver in that setup. Still, as I waited almost 4 years for this device, I wanted to give it a try. At least I squeezed out the guide, hoping this is helpful for another lost Linux-Phone person out there.

  6. According to the "USB OTG Checker" App the only thing missing is adding "android.hardware.usb.host.xml" in /system/etc/permissions.
