I split the USB part to a new thread. Here a copy of the part of the answer relevant to this thread

...I wish they would offer the usb-board as a spare, e.g. on IGG, I would certainly buy some, as this always is a vulnerable part of any phone expected to have a long life.

@VaZso I took the liberty to split this into a separate thread. Could you please (re)-answer on the display part in the original thread, and edit it out of the main post in this thread?

Current estimate on IGG as of April 14: Based on this timeline, we expect to begin mass shipping your Pro1-X’s in mid-late May! Then the factor in answering your question is where in the queue you are, and at what rate the production will be, So If your order is recent, I would say after May.

Ah sorry, it isn't offered as a zip for adb. So yes fastboot, as described in the official guide here. (I never tried the process myself, and I do not know how to pack it for adb sideload)

Looks great, even with room for the magnetic USB-plug! And good that it grips both halves, as a bumpy road could otherwise potentially damage the sliding mechanism.

I was SO close to buying one in the Z series several times, having ordered a few of the keyboards, but was so pessimistic that I persuaded myself to wait until I actually had at the least one keyboard mod in my hands - that proved to be a wise decision....

Unfortunately I do not know of any short cuts. We all hope things will look better when they got the Pro1X available, since at the least some of the devices in queue might be replaced with a new device. and hopefully they will have spare parts after the production run.

Update to April 20, with March 5 security patch using OTA went smoothly. Known keyboard bug still there (see lineage thread) (The download stage is substantially faster than LineageOS, But the stage after download and install called "Finalising package installation" is surprising slow though - like it is on LineageOS)

You can only get it from FxTec. See https://www.fxtec.com/support and the "contact us", where you can write directly (or email them). I do not know how easy/difficult it is to replace, but as it is glued it will almost certainly need a heat-gun.

Yes there are tools out there that give you a general margin, not just touch. I do not recall any names though.

As @Rob. S. answered in the other thread, it (unfortunately) is not just an app. The only known method is to flash to stock (wiping everything) and then back to your preferred ROM.

As a very early backer I was offered them too. But though sleek looking I knew that I would never use them so politely declined. (I use ATH-ANC33iS)

My Guess would be that they are generally just deep flat concrete building, so the signal has a hard time reaching. So most likely they offer the WiFi as a service to compensate this, especially if they are one of those allowing you to scan the items with your phone as you put them in the basket. (That offer is quite common in Denmark. e.g. Coop) , I have given up using this due to net-issues doing so....

Well I was talking WiFi... So only internet through the mobile carrier (when not at home, or a few trusted WiFi locations). But yes I will need to to trust my mobile carriers net.

The polemic answer is: Yes, do not trust a phone as a safe place for data, no matter the OS or security update level... But then the big question always is HOW big the risk is, if we choose to take the chance anyway? Strictly someone could snap it out of your hand while you are using with your banking app open, so you NEVER get it completely secure... There are a lot of other things than security patch level in play. e.g. the security of the net you are using it on. That is the reason why my 'Paranoia' never would let me connect my device to a net where I do not feel they are su

Me to, I use stock android on my daily driver, and apart from the need for occasional boots (roughly twice a month), when it forgets it has a fingerprint reader, it works fine for me. I seldom do voice/calls, and when I do almost always with headset. But yes, certainly disappointing with the lack of updates.

There have been written quite a bit on this in various threads, here a search: https://community.fxtec.com/search/?&q=lineage banking&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy But in generally it much depends on what bank. But many require the device to pass SafetyNet tests.

Strictly you can always cancel a preorder. But you can not cancel a perk on IGG. A preorder gives you a guarantee to either get the device or your money back. A IGG perk is like a share. We invest and hope to get the perk. Though at this late stage of the IGG campaign where production are said to start this week, the risk should be fairly low. Also make sure to check what the terms are for taxes and shipment, they might be included in one and not the other, (might vary with region)

Stock android comes with a rather special launcher, with very limited functionality. but you can easily swap it with a huge variety of others out there.. The default got one special thing that I have not seen on any other. And I personally find really clever. It divides the 2:1 screen in two roughly quadratic blocks, and rather that stretching are rearranging icons (like all other launchers seem to do), it simply rotate each of the two blocks. It is at the least a year since I last checked others, so perhaps some (e.g. Nova) can do this as well today?

As I said it is usually quite simple to change the soft inner shell, grasping the phone, keeping the flip-part of the case. I have done that several time, when changing a 'book' type case from from opening in Western to Japanese direction.

He he. You lake le maugh, Sounds odd indeed, It MIGHT be that the endpoint of OTA is no longer answering correctly, I do not know. You could try a normal adb sideload again with the 20200825 after the EDL, and see if that works.
