A TINY bug that I guess is AICP and not in any way related to the implementation by @tdm (might even be a bug inherited from AOSP) The system guesses a language on first boot and suggests that in the Wizard - and that is just fine, I chose proper English, and continues. BUT the "Settings SanDisk SD card Tap to set up" notification is fired before that, so I got this in Danish.... Ignoring it and rebooting, it reappears in English. so not in anyway a big thing.

Is the qwertY/qwertZ setting available somewhere, or is it on a TODO-list? Found it! Searching for "qwert" it pops up as a setting I do not know where though! ????►Additional buttons►Layout 🙂 Searching for "Additional Buttons" does not give anything... (and does not seem to be in Auxiliary Buttons)

I was even more optimistic and tried without wiping from LineageOS 17.1 - and well no surprise it told me data was corrupted, so wiped, and it booted (currently in the setup wizard) 🙂 ADD: I got an "Authentication error" on first WiFi-connection attempt, but reentering the password made it happy. (I had used Show Password, so 99.9% sure it was correct), just reporting if anyone sees he same initially. It is currently adding my apps , and all seems fine. Thanks 🙂

Here my slightly adjusted helper batch-script. Takes date YYYYMMDD as a parameter and assumes, the img, zip, and the nano is in a LineageOS subdirectory. (Note that I do not plan to download and change the OpenApps package each time, so the 20201110 is fixed here, And obvious if you want say the pico and not the nano, the name should be adjusted) An example of a call: LineageFLASH171.BAT 20201110 @ECHO off if %1.==. goto :EOF ECHO * Wait for boot to bootloader to finish (or do manually holding VolDown+Power) adb reboot bootloader pause fastboot flash boot_a LineageOS\lineage-17

I would download the opengapps for Android 10, as the one you are using currently are likely to be for 9. I have not tried from SD, only ADB. But doubt that will make any principal difference - obviously given it can read the SD.

Sorry, Did not guess that it was moved to Settings ► System ► Buttons ► Extra ► Additional buttons, 🙂

The settings section where we could set the layout and other keyboards options seems omitted in the 17.1 Found it deeply buried in another menu....

It looks like the one @tdm made, but it seems to be without the qwertZ support...

I do not know if you NEED it, but it looks substantially different, so I would suggest so, unless someone can say explicitely that they know you do not need it.

Done, went super smooth and fast 🙂 IF we got mindthegapps while on 16.0 It seems to be important instead to install opengapps during in the 17.1 process. (That is as Mindthegapps in this version is not supported on 17.1, we can not leave it there, but have to have opengapps replacing it - as @Wheeljack did above too )

I waited about half an hour or so... After a wipe it booted quickly. Will try the Pre-production unit too without the wipe, as this got qwertY. Do we need to remove the mindthegapps while still on 16.0 before the upgrade? Or should installing opengapps in the 17.1 process fix it?

Accepting a factory reset, things seems to work, except the keyboard.... Currently useless EDIT: FinQWERTY can make it working on qwertZ too, for the supported layouts. At the least to some degree. Some symbols like @ is inaccessible, unless you use the fake keyboard OR make a language swap with Ctrl+Space to a language supporting @, and then back.

I am loosing mine, but this is a test device. Others will have to answer if there is a way to keep stuff.... Non-destructive, see below

I was super optimistic and downloaded the two 17.1 files, flashed the loader as usual and sideloaded the zip, over the 16.0 with mindthegapps. WITHOUT wiping anything. And well the flashing went smoothly, but it did not work.... It seems 'stuck' at the loader screen. I do see the circle move over the blue sad mouth, but it does not seem to move forward from that.... So will repeat the same with a wipe.... (and opengaps - thanks @_DW_ )

A question for @tdm Is this the right one to download?

Thanks for the warning @acrux for now I'm trying to download, but I guess I'm not alone, as it takes 'forever'.,,

As suggested... And with a qquote from the original post of that thread: You can find the builds and installation instructions on the official LineageOS Downloads page

Though I like the boundaries, I bet they will be hard to get legible on such small keys, so I bet some exaggeration will be needed compared to the suggestions. Wider lines and wider space, that is a more 'fat' symbol. But the principle is great IMHO. Look at how they did the Tab & BackTab on the qwertZ variant. 🙂

....and ⤒, ⤓ too. The second would be natural for the seldom used VT (Vertical Tab). I have never seen Back-VT though, but for consistency, I would remove that one as well. (also close to the symbol often seen for caps)

I like your ideas, though one symbol is already used for backward jump to tab-stop (Shift+Tab) ⇤ I really like the principal idea of e.g. ⇱indicating a jump to a boundary, and not just an indication of something in a direction

I took the liberty to split this away from the LineageOS thread, as it is hardware-related.

Well it is more like a setting we do not want/like than something strictly wrong. But indeed would be nice with an easy way to change the setting to what we prefer, and the 7-8mm you describe sounds a bit much for my taste too.

I know they changed 'something' at a deep level to add a small margin at a very early stage, so I guess what you describe is that newer displays comes with a much wider default tap-insensitive edge (that still allows sliding so not touch insensitive). I have no idea if this can be changed without wiping everything. But as it seems to follow the hardware I guess it ought to be possible - though I got no idea on the how we can flash individual hardware components.

Is this not a deliberate fix for people to avoid unwanted edge interaction? If I do not remember wrong the lineage implementation have a setting for the size of this.... Settings►System►Advanced►Touchscreen►Margin

Sad that you do not want to use it. But feel free to add an ebay link. Others have done so previously,
