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

Honestly, I usually just wait for official as, in part, the unofficial odd solutions ones include much bigger Gaps packages.

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.

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

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

Root of los21/22 is very simple. In phone just download and install last magisk.apk. Then downloaded magisk.apk (download folder) rename to magisk.zip and copy this zip to sd card root. Reboot phone to lineage recovery. Select install update, install from sd and select magisk.zip...wait...and reboot to lineage. Open again installed magisk app, press install - direct install (recommended). Done...phone is rooted 🙂

Camera functionality seems to be important to @mangled. The device pages for Pro1 and Pro1X still state camera stack to be unstable and video recording not to work at all. So I guess the question is whether this information is up to date. Beyond that, here as well as on discord, users reported many more issues related to things fundamental to daily phone use, like mobile connectivity, battery life, and stability of core apps. Those problems are not mentioned at all on the project page, which lists the Pro1 and Pro1X as "officially supported". A brief, but honest, report about how us

That one claims to be the Elephone U frame, which, if true and probably is, the frame won't work on the Pro1. There is one that claimed to have the frame for the Pro1 and I ordered one (it's in my closet-- luckily I haven't yet had a need for it). Unfortunately, they are out of the frame. They do have the display. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804876586192.html But any of the Elephone U displays, without a frame will work on the Pro1. Just have to un-glue the old display from the frame and glue the new one. I haven't done it, but from what people have said, it isn't super agg

as far as I recall, yes, the rubber band trick had probably worked in my case but came too late in my knowledge. Yes You can also measure battery voltage, but if you fall under 3 volts your battery is probably dead. Be carefull if you want to disassemble it.

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

***BUG found. I am able to enable wifi hotspot...but i am unable to turn hotspot off. Settings crashes and is needed reboot.

Despite the date, if it showed up on Monday, it wasn't until I went to bed, but it was there this morning. Last weeks was similar, but it did show up before I went to bed. NBD, but just odd to release it so late in the day.

Here a couple of disassembly guides, taken from the Start here FAQ. Disassembly guides, see this @netman and official videos here and on Vimeo here

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

Did you have the red notification light flashing about once per second when trying to charge it? This seems to be the status of mine too. It's drawing constant 50mA, but even after leaving it for 24 hours, it will not boot. The rubber band trick is also NOT working for me. I tried several times, leaving it for over 24 hours for one attempt. So I'm guessing you had to disassemble and connect a bench PSU to the battery connector?
