That protector claims "100% bubble-free application". Considering the bubbletastic application I did of the protector I have here, maybe I should buy those instead... -
Mine has the same build number (QX1000_EEA_20191203104303), which magisk boot.img do I use? The closest seems to be magisk_backup_4_201912101, but is it the one I use?

Woo! Just arrived!! Would have been here a day earlier if not for a national holiday... Serial #698, nothing special. Already (mis)applied a screen protector (why include a protector and not actually have it preinstalled?), now to start the task of rooting it before I actually set it up for use (since you need to wipe it to root it).

Memory Cards. Recommendations and Suggestions.
lameboyadvance replied to MickH's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
...Android phones need to reboot in order to see inserted media? What is this, 1995? ...Anyway, anyone know the maximum size SD card the Pro1 will take yet? -
FinQWERTY certainly looks like a util I'll be installing as soon as I get my Pro1. ...Is it possible to use custom KCM files? Being able to custom define our own layouts would be the only thing that could make it even better.

A review for that one on Amazon says the magnet is pretty weak and the phone slides around inside the case. Interesting idea though. -
Can't remember the actual username but the avatar was of money scales or something. Guess they'd had enough of us/being here...

I wish I'd known that 6 months ago...

...Speaking of being super late to the party, I still have an unused voucher code, since I originally backed 2 keyboard mods. Is it still possible to have it renewed, even though the phone price has since jumped up to RRP and we are now at the point most IGG backers are finally getting their phones? I wanted a backup phone from the beginning (I always manage to damage at least one...), and didn't have the funds for a second phone then (...or now for that matter...). Just curious if they'd still be honored 6-12 months past their intended use date, or beyond...

...Is a (existing, not Pro1 custom made) front window even viable? From what I've seen of the window cases (small, or large window) is they add an indent to the window edge, meaning you can't cut out the inside of the case to gain the extra height needed to fit the Pro1. And while I would actually prefer a double sided clip on bumper case design, realistically this is the cheaper design method companies (and possibly even FxTec) will go with to provide a case for the Pro1... -

Is there any reason you can't leave the case the right way up? Normally you fold the front half of those cases out of the way to use them, any reason you can't do that when using the Pro1 normally + keyboard extended? -

...It looks as if the 'P20' small window cases might use a side window instead. Kinda useless for normal Android usage. âšī¸ -

Ah, that would explain the wrong case ratio/dimensions. ...Trying to locate a P20 flip case with the rear design of that linked case I did come across some front window variations for the P20 Pro (supposedly): The first one uses some sort of conductive horizontal bar to allow swiping left/right. Since the Pro1 uses vertical swiping its kinda useless though (unless the Pro1 caller APK can be swapped for one with vertical swiping?). The second appears to have a larger window for swiping, probably enough room there to register a swipe. ...The problem with using these wind -

Is that a screenshot from a Pro1? It doesn't look the correct aspect ratio. Trying to resize that screenshot to fit this one from that site makes the screenshot way too long to fit the case in the picture. -

That case does look interesting, but would that extra screen cutout match up with the Pro1s call screen (and lock screen as you said)? The unique way it flips out at the back means no drilling holes for the camera/mic, and that large speaker hole on the front would probably also handle the notification led. The only thing I'd have against it is their method of attaching it to the phone. A rubber holder lets you remove the phone at will and also protect the side of the phone, that glue strip would be a single use thing. If only we could combine it with a rubber P20 holder, but th -

While it does seem the Elephone uses a centered rear camera design, they do make some interesting screen accessible case options for the Elephone. Its a shame we can't slice the front off those and paste them on a P20 rear. -
Great to see that the screen is relatively easy to replace/acquire. ...Would still like a front screen bumper/protector for the image/reason posted above though. đ

...Considering the screen/front of the phone is the same as the Elephone U/U Pro, what about the idea of fusing the inner rubber of a P20 pro flip case with the outer leather of an Elephone flip case? Would that remove the need to drill holes in the front of the case? (ignoring the rear camera/mic ones) Edit: While these 3D printed cases are looking good, until they're ready for everyday use I'll still have to look into other alternatives in the meantime... -
Never got the FedEx tracking email, so as suggested earlier I logged into the FXTec website and it was listed in my account on the order page. "Scheduled delivery: Thursday 1/30/2020 by 6:00 pm" to me here in Australia. Only another week of waiting!

I guess I too will have to start considering case options... So the best current non-3D printed option is the case from a Huawei P20 Pro? I don't really want to use a flip cover case, but considering the curved screen of the Pro1 is my greatest worry its probably going to have to be that, or this 3D printed option if it can be made strong & accurate enough. ...I'm guessing this dual sided case couldn't be modified to fit both sides of the Pro1? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Huawei-P20-P30-Mate-20-Pro-Lite-P-Smart-2019-360Shockproof-Protective-Clear-Case/173825524687 -
Finally! ...Now I just need to wait to see if I actually get tracking details...

I got this email a few hours ago. Is this a "stock assigned" email? To me it just looks like the same mass mail service they've been using for the standard (semi-)monthly updates.
