Nice to see your concern for the poor postman that has to be out to delver it. 😇 Let us hope you get it before it gets warm again. 😜

I would suggest to buy the cheap phone now, and then see when things have settled and the pre-orders are all delivered, If you need the device NOW we should be really optimistic to expect you could have it with either qwertY or qwertZ before Christmas. Then see what the situation is, and IF they are going to make a Scandic layout, then wait for that, alternatively buy the qwertZ variant that is REALLY close to Swedish/Finnish layout, quite close to Norwegian (öä rather than øæ), and for Danish with the last two swapped. It works just fine for me as a Dane, so should be at the least as goo

It must be few coupons. We know there were only 1653 "backers". Some of these were mere donations, a few got a Mod, and some got a refund... How many that leaves is anyone's guess..

I'm pretty sure eSim is a separate chip, not in the standard chip-set. And no I have not heard mentioned that the Pro1 should have it. Could be cool, and would have helped those that need more than one carrier AND even more than the 128GB storage.

I agree, though one should remember that "If you do not input any personal information" is not as easy as it sounds. As they collect your position data(*), and that alone would be enough to identify most of us. And especially if you also use the narcissistic media, e.g. Faecesbook, plus the search history. They can link it all together and get a quite accurate picture of most people. (*) Position data are NOT limited to GPS. But also what WiFi networks and cellular masts are visible...

Absolutely. As I said "a simple inside job is all it takes"

You can safely replace "could happen" with "will happen". Even if illegal, at some point data gets stolen by someone. There are no tight systems. Though I would not consider other OS more safe as such, but at least they do not openly collect ALL the info they can scrape together like Google does, so the data could be leaked from either the phone OR Google. But the risk of an individual phone being hacked to get it's info is much much less than that the massive storage of data at Google will be attacked - a simple inside job is all it takes....

And worse than that. In some countries information about political activity or even just sexual preferences could have life-threatening consequences in the hands of the wrong people.

Not quite, But applying power makes it turn On by default.

Off topic: In that link i stumbled upon fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1 That allows the Pro1 to charge while staying turned off. I do not know if there is a good reason for them to turn this feature Off by default (Or maybe it is Off by default without FxTec changing it?) Tried it On with slow charging, and from what I can see it works exactly as you would expect. Will try with fast charge when the level is sufficiently low for it to make sense. Works fine with fast charging too. ADD: When the off-mode-charge is Off, the device will automatically power up when power is appli

The big thing here is the intention. If somebody tells you something they believe, that really isn't true (maybe later proves not to be true), does not make them liars, only if they know it isn't. A very large partition of the human population believes in a religion - but I would not call them liars. And I doubt that even those believing in one set of deities would call those believing in another set for liars. But SURE their communication has been a mess, and sometimes different parts of the staff even happened to give contradicting messages, and that is really bad, and feeds all this co

Well, welcome back when things settle down a bit 🙂 But please stop lying by saying people are lying when they are not... They gave an ESTIMATE, And yes that did not hold, but wrong estimates are, well wrong estimates and not lies.

Lancher < 3 it is supposed to give a ❤️

It is clearly from the launcher3, even the icon survived... 😉

On the keyboard layout issue. The qwertY and qwertZ keyboards are electrically identical. Basically the qwertZ is a logically unshifted qwertY. That is the letters are shifted back to their natural positions, and then a few national keys in the right pane. Have you tried if FinQWERTY works under Lineage too?

the apk is available under /system/priv-app/Launcher3QuickStep, but I do not know If we are allowed to copy it?

A must have if you do not disable ALL the google stuff IMHO.

Anybody with a hint of getting rid of the 10sec dancing tray icons after the update? If no fix, that could make me live with issues with alternative launchers... Forget it, the dancing magically stops after some time?? Have no Idea why....

I read it as roll out, so you can configure say 100 devices without having to do a lot on each one by one.

That would be nice. The clever idea of two blocks of icons placed next to or above each other used by the build in launcher might be worth copying for a(ny) device with a elongated 2:1 or similar display.....

Stand corrected, that part of the strike through has been removed.

I have not tried if you can disable or uninstall it for Guest. But could be worth a try. But as it is in ROM, it is still there of course, so it is related to trusting android to keep it passive when logically diabled/uninstalled

So ZERO reason to mention either as related to this project. It is a warning, and NOT an invitation to a discussion!
