  1. Another unofficial build of LineageOS 16.0 (for qx1000) is here, celebrating 3 years of support beyond its AOSP EOL. πŸ₯³ At https://findus.zwergenschaenke.net/~puma/linux.html#lineagepro1 Go for the ROM dated 20250203. Changes since last release: Backported fixes up to the "1 January 2025" Android Security Bulletin. Updated system WebView and browser engine to Chromium 132.0.6834.122. Have fun.

  2. Hi @drcp, @Hook has written down all the essential information already. I just want to add that, while the black spots in the corners are standard for these screens, they do not worsen over time. I own three Pro1 and one Pro1-X: All have the black corners to some degree, but even for the oldest device they have been stable over time. Concerning QWERTZ vs. QWERTY: F(x)tec lost many QWERTY devices to unauthorized grey marketing by their Chinese logistics partner company, which is likely the reason they ran out while shipping to backers. If you are really unhappy with the keyboard

  3. I'm not sure how to approach the word "Fair" in all of this, Neither what backers have had to go through, nor all of what FxTec was hit with producing these phones, resulting in what the backers had to go through, are fair. I'm not arguing you are not entitled to feel as you do, or dismissing your concerns, but there is a lot of backstory to this, contained in the IGG updates and in the production thread on this forum. First, note, when you back a project on IGG you are not even guaranteed a product. You are investing in hope of a return, not buying. Despite being hit by disaster after

But method - flashing stock rom without wipe, wait for boot and then flash back los22 works fine πŸ™‚ ...only reinstal magisk was needed

  10. The point is that the updates are not incremental. The weekly OTAs each time contain the full ROM, even if changes relative to the previous one are minor or non-existing. The idea behind the a/b partitioning scheme is to keep the previous version of the system intact for backup, while flashing a completely new version of the OS to the respective other slot with every update. This is to make sure one of the slots always contains a working OS, even in case of a bad flash or faulty download.

  14. one more note regarding protecting my battered Pro 1x: I ordered one of these cases, took out the wallet insert quite easily, increased the cut out at the bottom for the charging access, and figured out that if I open my Pro 1x, I can insert the bottom, keyboard portion into the case quite snugly, and then i can slide the phone close and open securely. I just have to memorize the locations of the up, down and power buttons as they don't correspond exactly, but not difficult. Now I don't feel like i'm risking another disaster. Hope this can be of help to others.

  16. Update after one year of usage: Current version (video): I still love it. I had to replace the keyboard one time as the touchpad stopped working (probably my fault since I sealed the touchpad chip on the board with super glue so it could have overheated. Part cost: 25€ The hinge system is still in place since the first day. At one point, I replaced the phone cover (which is fixed on the hinges with super glue). Part cost: 10€ These changes gave me the opportunity to do a better job with the backside of the phone so it looks more professional and to probably make it l

I think the April 1st dates in previous posts was a typo I kept perpetuating. Lol. So far well behaved, battery-wise. Lost 3% in 2 hours including activity post-update. Edit: Looks good. 7 hours, yes, mostly idle, but has only dropped 10%. That's par for the course given that I have background mail, dropbox ans calander syncing.

  21. Lineage-22.2-20250414-NIGHTLY-pro1x with April 1st security patch installed smoothly via OTA. MindTheGapps15, and root was maintained. Notes: I encountered no problems after the OTA going from 22.1 to 22.2. I use Magisk, but only as SU, I don't use any Magisk modules. Also, since I update OTA, I don't flash newer packages of MindTheGapps. My contention is, that since Google updates both the Gapps and Play services, there is no need to flash the newer MTG packages unless you are moving to a new full version of Lineage (new version of Android) that can't be installed OTA. I don't k

  22. It's 2025, and I am going to necro the sh1t out of this thread because it confused me a lot ... but helped me getting the touchscreen on my replacement display for my Pro1 to work properly 😁 Essentially, Kaali said it all and provided the correct files. I uploaded translated and modified instructions as a PDF. I don't know why the instructions say to start the GTP Tools directly after installing it, because it just crashed since it can't access the hardware yet. The "fix" are the adb commands, which can also be performed in Termux (as SU) on the phone itself. Set SELinux permissive (

  24. The lineage page is correct. CPU-Z misreports it. I've had Lineage on for a very long time and it works fine. Lineage is currently on Android 15 (Lineage 22) which you will probably not be thrilled by if you don't like Android 11. Android 11 is the earliest Android the Pro1x can take. But yes, you can reinstall stock Android 11 if you don't like Lineage, but you will get no security updates. Make sure you thoroughly investigate the Pro1x's call and text performance on Stock. Lineage will not affect that, either ofr better or worse, so make sure you know what the problems are ahead of t

Maybe it will be my second device...or device just for fun πŸ™‚ It works relatively good...yess it is old and yess it have only 3gb ram....but good device. It runs LOS 18.1 (A11). I have one question. Passport have on lineage same problem as was on FX (first custom roms) - multipressing keys. Can anyone help me fix it? Will be needed to add something like key press deelay.

  30. I know everyone has had their breath bated: "None of us can sleep until we discover why, oh, why the Backspace won't work in the Pro1x/Exagear/MS Word 97." External Keyboard Helper proves to be the oracle. Installing EKH and selecting that as the on-line keyboard somehow returns the Backspace to all its glory of erasure. I can't even begin to imagine the forum's relief πŸ™‚

  31. Hi everyone! I decided I'd share my initial efforts on making a leather case for pro1x. I got mine just a few days ago. This is work-in-progress, I'll post the CAD files once the result doesn't look too ugly. But please note, it requires some good equipment and skill. So, since it's a true linux smartphone like they used to be in 200x - you even have to make the case and the rest yourself. Basically, I used the initial design from here: https://www.printables.com/model/267403-fxtec-pro1x-case/files and printed it. While TPU was not around in my workshop, I made a draft print from SBS

  32. 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

  34. Will be 5 years for me December 10th. My Pro1x is actually my daily driver... I like the keyboard betterβ€”as a writer, the key mapping for punctuation is better, and I don't do anything that challenges the weaker SOC. But I love my Pro 1 and use it for experiments. Right now experimenting with Google Free Lineage. Both work ok as phones, but I don't use either that way. I have a Pixel 7 Pro which is my phone and point and shoot camera and has all my sensitive bank type stuff. Everything else is on my rooted Pro1x, which means I am using my Pro1x 95% of the time.

  41. HI, the Lineage Juli Update maybe improved the battery drainage a little bit. Instead of going down from 100% to 30% during the night (meaning, the Pro1 was at standby and "Do not disturb" was activated) my Pro1 was emptying the battery to only 50%. Slight improvement, but still to much to use it during the day at work and so on. Last night I had "Airplane Mode" on and Wifi on too. VoLTE (4G-Anrufe in the phone localized to a German UI) was on. The battery was going down from 100% to 93%. This is approximately, what I had in the past before the update of Lineage to version 22.2. I

  48. Hi, I have finally figured out how to do it. However, just keep in mind I am running /e/ OS which is an OS built on top of lineage so theoretically the setup proceedures may be identical. Below are the steps that I`ve taken: -enable developer mode -in dev options enable the "force activities to be resizable" -install app rotation control -enable app and set to landscape mode -turn on screen rotation in display settings and enable rotation to only 90 degrees [if you do not have (system) screen rotation activated even though "rotation control" app is forcing it
