    I agree with @Craig's suggestions. I liked the shifted qwerty, and purchased the Pro1x thinking it still had the same layout (based on pictures). However, seeing now that it is non-shifted, I think Craig's suggestions make perfect sense. - Freeing P and L's second layer would be great and more standard - ?/ next to L would also be closer to full keyboards - Moving \| to Sym should not be an issue for anyone, even coders - Keeping yellow arrows duplicated on left and right is a must for international layouts (no one wants to type right arrow + o or left arrow + e)

    I forgot to post it here because I was no longer following the forum discussions, but I guess now is a good time to show that LXC containers on SFOS made the whole desktop experience even smoother: https://youtu.be/8PnDZtKzsSc I use a tiling window manager but Xfce would work fine too, I just prefer using the keyboard over having to tap on tiny buttons. Works pretty well for a mobile device with small screen. I like the UI this way, but DPI can be adjusted for those who would want UI and fonts bigger; same in Xfce. Apologies to those who've seen it already, but I didn't take the

    Not sure if this was mentioned, but it is now possible to use simultaneous key presses (chording) on the Pro¹ using @netman's custom kernel. It is already included in SFOS, and might be included in future updates for stock Android. Not being able to chord keys was the most important limitation to overcome before a Game gripper could be useful at all. Now I see nothing really hindering the possibility of a Pro¹ Game gripper. WASZ are what I am currently using if I need a D-pad (I don't play on my phone usually, but would still be interested in a game gripper just in case), works great in S

    I have been playing with chroot on the Pro¹ lately, extremely happy with it, even though it is still rough around the edges. Even my N900 never felt so close to an actual pocketable computer. Therefore, moar pics. I typed this post and uploaded images using the Pro¹. cmus (not affected by SFOS volume, but it has its own volume settings anyway): cmus and nnn file manager side by side, I really appreciate tiling since SFOS does not allow that: And an additional tile for another tool: Some random programs in different terminals in Tilix and the sidebar showing c

    Page load really is quick, much faster than with the Sailfish Browser, and it can handle up to ten tabs with no memory issue. Scrolling is fast, sometimes too fast, you have to be more gentle than with a mobile browser. Most of all, the video shows that I can operate tabs and navigation just from the keyboard (new tabs, close tabs, focus address field, reopen tabs, switch tabs, previous/next), which not only feels great, but also is very efficient and faster than anything else I could imagine on a phone. Coming back to the Sailfish Browser really feels painful just when I need to open a tab or

    A simple video showing the SFOS port on the Pro¹, and more specifically Ubu Chromium (run in its own window, and then from xfce4 desktop environment): https://youtu.be/DLl92bISgAo I'm sorry about the overexposure of white web pages. I lowered the screen brightness and adjusted the camera settings, but not enough. 😕

    Exactly, I have the same hw decoding issues with my Chromium-based browser on Linux, and even an i5 7th generation struggles on Youtube. I typically use mpv <URL> all the time in terminal. I tried that on Ubu chroot, but unfortunately running a command in the Ubu shell will fail to open a graphic window in SFOS. I don't know if there is a workaround. Maybe this would work from the terminal within Ubu chroot though, I'll try that.

    Performance is OK for me, Xfce4 starts fast, and navigation in the menus or in the browser is smooth. Video playback works, but I don't know if it's hardware decoded. I installed vainfo but it doesn't display anything useful. I am not sure about the pointer, I haven't looked into it yet. You would want something like Teamviewer mobile, right? At the moment, it works like a touch screen, not a touchpad, and you cannot pinch to zoom, so you need better accuracy than with an emulated touch pad. Perhaps there are ways to do it though, I'm not sure. You can change the dpi to change the U

    Ubu chroot on Pro¹ running SFOS: Thanks Preflex and TheKit!

    I am not spreading any misinformation. Erik did say they were approached at MWC and have been discussing since then. I specifically wrote that I don't know when they paid, but that discussions started at MWC. If they were approached at MWC, then I think it is safe to assume they replied. It was a stand, not discussions over emails at that time.
  12. matf-kabouik
    I got mine. I can say my impression is the opposite of anonim001's. Will try to flash SFOS tonight.

    Still no UPS driver here at 4.15 pm, I hope they won't pull another surprise out of the hat at the last minute, since the initial delivery was scheduled two days ago. :'<
  14. matf-kabouik
    I do not see the link between those two sentences. They did not disclose when agreements and payments were made, but Erik said those few retailers approached F(x)tec in February at MWC.
  15. matf-kabouik
    Actually discussions with the retailers started in February, before any individual pre-order, so I do not think it is shoking that they receive their units at the same time as pre-orderers. The thing is it takes longer than expected to deliver all pre-orderers, so it technically is not at the same time as all pre-orderers, hence the frustration. But why should their order be postponed because of that? They ordered long in advance just like us, perhaps even more.

    I'm sitting behind my front door to wait the UPS deliveryman just like a dog waits for his master all day. Standing in excitment every time I hear a vehicle in the street.
  17. matf-kabouik
    Great. And very encouraging to see growing support for the Pro¹.
  18. matf-kabouik
    Thanks @TheKit. Please @Waxberry, could you update update the link to the CI image in the first post when you see this?
  19. matf-kabouik
    Remember also that the Pro¹ is not crowdfunded (I know some will say it is almost the same due to the delays since payments, but well, it still is not a crowdfunded project), meaning F(x)tec had investors. I am not saying those investors included retailers, but that' is a possibility, especially as Clove seems to be UK-based. Or they could just be pre-orderers or IGG backers too. In both cases, it wouldn't be shocking that they get devices at the same time as pre-orderers.What increases the feeling of being fooled is the slow production followed by long export process. I don't think anyone wou

    So yours actually left London? Mine is sitting there, despite UPS claiming at first that they would deliver today. 😆
  21. matf-kabouik
    Delayed to Thursday at best: Still soonish. This shows that delays happen and estimates can be wrong, even for companies bigger than Fxtec and much more focused on logistics. In less than 24 hours, UPS changed their estimate twice, and tripled the shipping time. Of course it's only two extra days here, but they are not dealing with the same level of complexity as Fxtec are, they just didn't manage to put the box in the trailer on time.
  22. matf-kabouik
    I don't think the delay is due to the events, UPS changed the scheduled delivery when the status went to "Picked up" to "In transit" in the same location. Probably they realized one-day international delivery was a bit optimistic. I expect further delay if the strikes/protests actually interfere with UPS. Plus I agree with the protestors' claims. 😮
  23. matf-kabouik
    Pushed back to Wednesday already. :'<
  24. matf-kabouik
    Mine is in transit (picked up today), scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I'm not in the same country as the warehouse, so that's pretty darn fast.
  25. matf-kabouik
    Picked up today in UK by UPS, delivery in France scheduled for tomorrow. 😱 😱 However, tomorrow will be a massive strike day in France, not sure I'll get it. Can't wait anyway, it's moving, and it's moving fast!
