    I flash Magisk as a zip in recovery when I first flash Lineage. After first boot, I download and open Magisk Manager and choose the install option where Magisk Manager does all the boot image patching shuffle and rebooting automagically itself. After that, I never touch Magisk Manager again (I only root for SU, I don't use any of the modules-- or at least I don't change any defaults) and I keep root after OTA.

    OTA worked great as well. By the way, since I had to recently do a first flash after leaving my Droidian experiment, I now have the newer MindTheGapps-13.0.0-arm64-20230408_162909. They are fine, and I don't notice any difference, so probably no reason to update.

    My guess would be they ship the batteries with about 50% charge, so I'm not too worried. What I'm not sure is how one would charge the battery with those converters... can you link to one. Unlike any battery Ive ever seen (but they were all removable), there are no visible + and - contacts. I have a universal charger for batteries like that. But this battery is sealed except for a very thing cable with a connector on the end. Probably the connector has tiny pins for + and - contacts, but I'm really not knowledgeable in this area. So, I'm hoping I'm right, they sent with a decent storag

    Lol, I hadn't even noticed, but, sure enough, my Pro1 on Lineage 20 doesn't go green. It has had a couple of screen replacements done by FxTec so I can't swear it's LOS... The next time I flash back to stock (probably before I try Sailfish) I'll stop and test on stock.

    Wow, I guess US Banks are (thankfully) less security conscious. Bank of America has no problem with either LOS 20 or my Pro1x being rooted (although I just did this as a test-- I actually do my banking on my not rooted cheap moto). Frankly, it makes me happy that BoA doesn't mind. Maybe makes up for having such crappy carriers. 😄

    I have no experience with a Surface Pro (and very little with Win 11), but Windows has always been a bit finicky with fastboot and adb (or, rather, properly connecting with the phone you are using them on. If you have a USB2 hub around, I would try that, USB2 often works better than USB3. Also try different ports, if the Surface has more than one, and different cables. I assume you enabled Developer Options for Android on your Pro1x and then turned on debug? I gave up on using my Windows 10 laptop for this and now use an old Thinkpad X230 running Manjaro Linux and a USB 2.0 Hub atta

    No, at least I don't.

    Just got around to updating to the 20230511 nightly (Official) OTA and everything is fine. It has the May 2023 security patch.

    1. LineageOs doesn't mess with the persist partition. 2. You need to erase userdata before installing Lineage. So after you flash the dtbo.img and the recovery.img, as per the instructions, you reboot into recovery and select factory reset on the recovery menu. Then you are finally ready to adb sideload the Lineage zip file.

    Yes, as the title states (and threads here can get caught up in issues) this is the thread for the Official version. They are referred to as "nightlies," but they are posted weekly, so, yeah, a little confusing. Each one is the current official version with updated security patches. There is a change log available on the Lineage site where you download the files for first flash. After that, you can update OTA. The links are in the OP.

    Unless, as in my case, you bought it to be a wifi pocket computer (it's not a tablet). I should demand a refund... they sent me a phone. 😉

    Well, I'm back. Everything just started working this morning with the folks on Droidian telegram, still including @matf-kabouik, walking me through steps I thought I had already taken, but maybe in my frustration never all of them in the right sequence. Plus fastboot seems to be behaving again. Whatever, I have Droidian bootable again on my Pro1. I love that we are not just buying phones but also a great community of folks willing to help. Thanks all of you.

    Did phone calls work consistently on stock? Lineage really doesn't really change that, as far as I can tell.

    MindTheGapps 13 are linked here. https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps Just noticed, they have been updated to April 2023... we have been using the Oct 2022 package. 🙂 Make sure you grab the Arm64 version.
  15. Hook
    Glad you pulled it all together. MindTheGaps is officially sanctioned for a reason-- it works reliably. You want the version for Android 13. If you did not flash them before booting Lineage, you will have to re-flash lineage, including rebooting to recovery after flashing and then flash MindTheGapps after that, then reboot. MindTheGapps only has one size and it isn't a minimal set, but also not a full set. Open Gapps does not seem to get along well with Lineage any more. There may be other packages people here know, but I don't, sorry.

    I think, for Windows, the files you are trying to flash should be in the same directory as the fastboot and adb executables. I suspect that is what that output is about (not sure as I have never encountered it). At least that's how I always did things in Windows and thought at the time it was necessary. So, locate the boot.img file and whatever else you will end up abd sideloading in the directory with all the Google tools like adb and fastboot. Try again. And, yes, your Pro1x is unlocked. They ship that way.

    I would need a lot more context of what you have and haven't done, in an orderly step-wise fashion. The troubles with your USB-C port I can't address, but it sounds like you have it working if fastboot devices returns fastboot in a terminal screen on Windows. I also can't really address using Windows for this. Although I am a Windows (10) user and have done this with Windows in the past, Windows is so tempramental with this flashing stuff that I switched to an old Thinkpad running Manjaro Linux for all of this. By the way, you don't need to set your usb connection to file transfer

    The easy fix is, of course, a tiny piece of black electrician tape cut to the size of the finger print sensor. Actually, the black stickers that cover the screws on the back of the screen (on the Pro1x they are invisible, unlike the Pro) are exactly the right width and can be chained across to cover the length of the fingerprint sensor. I have sheets of those black screw covers, if you want to DM me your address. I think Fxtec has enough on their plate, I doubt the feature request would get a lot of attention right now. I have only heard of this consequence of the sensor being activ

    It doesn't happen with Firefox. It does happen with Chrome, Chromium based browsers and I found a couple of other apps that will react to it, but most don't and, being a Firefox user, not using my fingerprint reader and 99% using the device with keyboard out, I never even noticed it before someone called my attention to it.

    I have now given up. I have once again been unable to flash Droidian . I have troubleshot this with @matf-kabouik extensively. I am doing everything he does and even verified the sh256 on my download. I honestly don't think this is a problem with Droidian, but some kind of problem on my Pro1, maybe my boatloder even, that Android and Lineage don't care about. For instance, when I try to launch the Droidian flashing script, My Pro1 reboots and I have to put back in bootloader mode. I've tried different ports and different cables. No joy. For now I'm abandoning it, but I don't think other

    Another little bump in the trail... a system update popped up, so I said "sure" When it rebooted, something was off with the touchscreen. It wasnlt nonresponsive, this was much weirder. Scrolling was fine, but anything requiring a point press, like launching an app icon, required laborius pressure. What's more, it was worse at the edges of the screen, meaning I couldnt send the open app to the multi-tasking card rack to return to the Phosh home screen. So, since I haven't had time to do a lot with roidian yet, been a busy week, I'm just going to reflash the March snapshot and not take

    For anyone worried by the hiccup with the Pro1 update, the 20230504 update for the Pro1x installed smoothly and all is good. Still April security patch, as expected.

    To answer your questions: 1) No disadvantages. You will have Android 13 and you will be getting current security updates. You will have all the functionality you're used to with some added features. 2) Here "useable" should be taken to mean it is ready for a daily driver, not as "it works, but..." 😄 It should not change your connectivity as it uses FxTec's own proprietary blobs for that. If you have good connectivity on stock, you will have the same on Lineage. If your connectivity is awful, it won't fix it. 3) Yes, those instructions at Lineage are good. Go slow with the ja

    Yes, you are right-- that hasn't been addressed, for now just use the Pro 1 Thoughts and Questions for the Pro1x as well. I'll look into it (I don't think even moderator powers can change those) Also, if you have a Pro1 or Pro1x, it's helpful to use the instructions in the thread I'm linking to indicate what you have so people know when answering your questions. https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3745-please-enter-your-fxtec-device-information-in-your-member-title-slot-under-edit-profile/
