LineageOS 18.1 Official Release for Pro1
EskeRahn replied to Wheeljack's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
(lineage-18.1-20210913-nightly-pro1-signed.zip on September 5 security patch installed smoothly using adb sideload and Open_Gapps-arm64-11-pico-20210712) ...But the reintroduced Accessibility / keyboard bug is not (yet) fixed, see above. -
Note that some navigation apps tend to be smart, so if you move at some speed along a road it will snap you to the side of the road it expect you are. (so this could muddle things further)

Sorry. I was not trying to say that the GPS on the Pro1 is bad. What I meant to say was that it is surprisingly good on the Titan.
-
Well apart from a good idea, that IS also good news, as this means it is not too deep down the sound is filtered, so that increase the chance of a fix - though I certainly will not hold my breath for it. I would suggest using a dedicated app you do not normally use for video and set it to the lowest possible video-resolution, e.g. 320x200 if offered, as this would mean a less huge intermediate file for long recordings.

Indeed, and it sounds similar to what you get using it for calls hands free. If you talk loud and clear as you would at a (physical) meeting, it works fine. But if you talk in a normal voice, the other end complains that they can not hear what you are saying.... It has -unfortunatly- been a known issue since 'day 1' on stock, and I have long given up hoping for a fix and use it with a headset, as I seldom do voice calls. I fear this 'filter' is deep down, either hardware or software in the driver, as I assume they would have fixed it quickly if it was in software they could ac

I bought an old house some ten years ago, and found out that part of the insulation used in walls and ceiling was a sheet of metal foil, so to a large extent I live in a Faraday's cage. Thus I can not use my WiFi in the garden - no big deal for me, but a big surprise for many guests. So it was no surprise to me that none of my phones have been able to get an indoor gps fix. (Except when standing under the passage to the attic) The big surprise is that the Titan gets a fix indoor, and with 3-4m accuracy!! (2m under the passage)

I got one too. Have not found the time to make a review of it. I'm not a fan of keyboards in the wrong direction, with REALLY few keys though - but to each their own. Though (almost) any real keyboard phone is worth supporting, as it is still better than touch only. But I must accept that I'm simply too old to use a device with that size of screen, despite it being more pocketable, for other than occasional usage. I really struggle with the small print. And yes yes not illustrated by the picture below, that was just a quick one for the content. The hardware feels sturdy and g
-
Yes, I guess it could be argued that it is a bug in recovery that it does not correctly reflect that installing an image might have changed the active slot, before a boot has been made.
-
I believe the last remark is not quite accurate. It is the flashing&install of the main image that also changes the active slot. Reboot to Recovery just boots to that. If you do not want gapps/magisk/... a reboot from the main menu will also boot into slot B
-
Sad to hear you broke the screen. On the call quality, a headset might help you. I use a wired one, and that works fine. (though obviously just a workaround not a fix)

They do look suspicious, indeed. -

PPS looking inside the fastboot_all.bat inside the .7z file, Someone with more understanding of these things might be able to pinpoint the specific file that does the trick: fastboot flash boot_a boot.img fastboot flash boot_b boot.img fastboot flash dtbo_a dtbo.img fastboot flash dtbo_b dtbo.img rem fastboot flash system_a system.img rem fastboot flash system_b system.img rem fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img rem fastboot flash vendor_b vendor.img fastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img fastboot flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img fastboot flash userdata.img fastboot flash abl_a abl.elf fastboot flash -
The clipping seems like a firmware/software issue, so most likely not much point in sending it in. Is it related to the two sources? Someone are talking in the background and the music is playing. Could it be some attempted noise reduction that are teasing? It sounds a bit like when e.g. Skyping with someone in a meeting room, and the equipment struggles with recording what is noise and what is signal.

EskeRahn replied to MickH's topic in General Discussion
I doubt that factory resetting will do the trick, that 'merely' erase user data. I think it is in the flashing process it also sends something to the display, but I'm not sure. I would rather suggest flashing the latest version, without wiping the user data/ -

EskeRahn replied to MickH's topic in General Discussion
For those on the same version of stock, I do not think a factory reset would be needed after a re-flash. But I could be wrong, it is more of a hunch, as far as my understanding of this whole flashing circus works. So should I do it on a stock device, I would flash without the wipe first - I mean worst case is a re-flash WITH a wipe... So only time is lost. That said, if people have some extra packages sideloaded, they should most likely be applied again. -

EskeRahn replied to MickH's topic in General Discussion
Are you sure? I believe that it is the flashing of the stock that ALSO flashes something to the display. So even if on stock I think we might have to re-flash it to get the screen working correctly - but as it is the same image, there should be no need of a factory reset, so not that bad. I have not tried to do it though, so be sure to make suitable backup in case a wipe is needed to get things working after the flash. -
Interesting. I must admit I'm a bit confused here, as this would mean that Gapps and Magisk go to different slots. Could you check at next load whether it (in small print) says a or b at the three sideloads?

I'm pretty sure that a reboot to recovery is needed between the first two. At the least that was the case for Lineage 16 - have not tried without since.

How to customize the keyboard layout on LineageOS 18.1?

That was my point yes 🙂 -
How to customize the keyboard layout on LineageOS 18.1?
EskeRahn replied to ivoanjo's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Let me make an example. Assume we use the left YA key combined with the letters 'P' and 'L' to in the kernel 'emulate' two missing physical keys. But YA combined with 'T' might not be mapped in the kernel, so in this case rather than just sending the 'T', it could be sent as a modifier+'T', for remapping furhter down the pipeline, -

EskeRahn replied to ivoanjo's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
It would be nice if the kernel remapping could be so flexible that it only took a modifier key if it was used with on of the defined remappable keys. This way more combinations would be available for the users, with the modifier used with other keys.
