    Probably either method preserves root after OTA. However, if root is really all you want, the flash-as-zip method is easy and gets the job done without you having to manually do the whole repack the bootloader dance.

    AT&T are pretty much out of the question. They are now the most aggressive white-listers and they will boot you. As I said before, people have gotten Verizon working, but, yes it has to be a SIM muled in a Verizon phone approved for ViLTE on their network, and then moved to the Pro1x. T-Mobile and their MVNOs are the only ones in the US that just work, Moving to Lineage still gets you the play store, using MineTheGapps 14 (see the begining of this thread). Other security intensive apps, I don't know. Depends on if they detect the unlocked boor-loader state (chances are, your boot

    Verizon is hit or miss. Some people have it working fine, Others have trouble. The OS won't make a difference, I have seen peple reporting that they get a notification from Verizon that the phone is unsupported, but so far not much evidence that there is any enforcement yet, When i had my Verizon SIM in my Pro 1, ages ago, it worked for a few months and then SMS broke. I gave up. I now use Ting in my Pro1x (which is T-Mobile). Here is the long Verizon thread: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2133-fxtec-on-verizon

    Switch the Physical Keyboard language in Settings/System/Keyboard/Physical Keyboard/Builtin Keyboard from "English (US)" to "F(x)Tec QWERTY" That will match the prints rather than more standard key assignments. Since I don't do anything Linuxy on the phone, I prefer the English (US ) exactly because I expect the question mark to be shift-forward slash and ; to be on the same key as : ;)

    It is certainly not my favorite design choice— I really prefer landscape keyboards. But it is an interesting concept and I would buy one just to support their efforts if is comes to exist. They say they will refund everyone if they don't reach their $500K goal, and I hope that is true, because I am skeptical they will hit it. I just don't need to be doing that.

    I've never had to format a new SD card before using it in any android phone I've had.

    EDIT: Decided to finally clip this tangent off the Unihertz Slim thread, since I was kind of responsible for the tangent. :D Took me a couple of tries to figure out how "split" works, but I did it. :D I think THIS could turn out to be interesting (keyboard, Android 13, not good for graphic intensive games and video but can otherwise run Android apps and rootable/flashable). I might buy one if it actually becomes available off the shelf, but, no, I am not going to back it on IGG Not encouraging that they are still far from their goal and ordering has slowed down. Now the

    Ditto here too... including both my Pro1 and Pro1x.

    Worth mentioning, although this may not be to some peoples liking, there is still an unofficial Discord, which is not in any way run by FxTec. A multi-room chat is not as efficient as a forum in some ways, but it works and has largely remained civil and helpful. FxTec folks show up, but lately, I think it only shows that they are connected to Discord, not that they are necessarily reading our posts. Not an objection to having a forum hosted elsewhere, simply reminding people that there is a place already where there are helpful people and information can be posted.

    It doesn't appear to be private. It's true that the URL, if you are not signed in, lands on an error page with buttons to "contact us" or "Sign in if you are already a user", but there is still a "sign up" link at the top upper right that still gets you the sign up form. So not super-obvious, but still works. EDIT: Oh, but I now realize I misinterpreted what you meant by "private." Yes, it appears you can no longer read the forum without joining.

    Well, whatever the case with the Feb 19th update... Lineage-21-20240226-NIGHTLY-pro1x with Feb 5th security patch installed smoothly via OTA. MindTheGapps14, and root was maintained.

    I believe that's a very early version of tdm's instructions for the test version of Lineage 16 and I believe that instruction was changed by him later. As far as I know, installing Lineage does not then make the inactive slot where the update is installed active. You'll never notice if you are installing Gapps as we do, but if you pay attention to the top of the recovery screen where it lists the active slot, you will see.

    Still on the road, but I updated as a dirty flash using the method @FlyingAntero gave for the Pro1 HERE. I also flashed (using the flash-as-a-zip method because all I care about is SU) Magisk 27. All is good. Update was successful, and I have root. So I now have the Feb 15th nightly. What is curious is that the Feb 19 update, mentioned above, doesn't sow up either on the Lineage download page or the updater on my Pro1x, however, while on Lineage 20, days ago, I did get a notification of the Feb 19 update to Lineage 21.1. Did they withdraw it for some reason? Whatever the case, M
  15. Hook
    Yes, But even if you don't install Gapps, I believe you need to reboot to recovery to switch slots before a system reboot. That's why I was asking.
  16. Hook
    Just to clarify: This is a dirty flash using the recovery already flashed for LOS 20, correct. I assume between flashing LOS21 and Gapps 14, you still "reboot to recovery" to change to the slot that the formerly inactive slot which is where LOS installs itself?

    Or simply an old USB 2 hub works pretty good. You can still get them on Amazon last time I checked. However, as I'm sure I've mentioned before, I find the best result from using my older Thinkpad (X230) with Manjaro installed. I don't even bother with my Win 10 Thinkpad any more, which is why I'm waiting until I get back home in March to upgrade, unless I get impatient.

    No, the nice thing about Official Lineage is that it leaves having Gapps as your choice and does not come with Google pre-installed. The proper MindTheGapps for it are here: https://github.com/MindTheGapps/14.0.0-arm64/releases/tag/MindTheGapps-14.0.0-arm64-20231025_234300

    I'm on the road right now so likely won't flash this until i get back home in a few weeks. Here's the MindTheGapps package for LineageOS 21.0: https://github.com/MindTheGapps/14.0.0-arm64/releases/tag/MindTheGapps-14.0.0-arm64-20231025_234300 Thanks, @TeZtdevice for the heads up.

    For people considering this, it would be nice if you expanded on what specifically is "much better" in 21 compared to 20. Is it that 21 is much better than 20, or is it that you are finding whatever tweaks Nolen has made in his version so much better than Official 20? Anything you can be specific about will help people. :)

    This exact version will never quite become the official version. Nolen maintains his own versions, although he also contributes to and uses some of the same work that goes into the official versions. So, yes, if you want to switch to the official version when it comes out, you would have to do a clean install. That said, there is also no guarantee that there will be an official version . Of course, I assume there will be, but Lineage could decide to drop support for the Por1 and Pro1x. We don't know until we know (Lineage never answers questions about future versions or support).
  23. Hook
    That may confirm an impression I had (but couldn't find any source that I had gotten the impression from) that Nolen includes Gapps actually built into the ROM.

    From what I can tell (I don't have inside information), Francisco handles all communications concerning trouble tickets. That doesn't necessarily mean he is working to solve all the trouble tickets or that he makes all the decisions concerning trouble tickets, but he is the one doing the communication. There will tend not to be responses for email inquiries about what is happening as only IGG updates, as infrequent as they are lately, are used for such information. Both Casey and Francisco have communicated on trouble-shooting matters in Discord, but not as often as they used to.
