LineageOS 20.0 Official Release for Pro1
Hook replied to CornholioGSM's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
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..." ๐ 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/

Well, I fixed it. I reflashed 2019 stock wondering if there's something Droidian doesn't like about coming from Lineage, and it still didn't work, so then I took all of the updates to 2019 stock (I had forgotten how many updates we got before it just stopped). Tried one more time with the Droidian flash_all and... it just worked. Nothing different about the output of the script, but it booted into Droidian. Will be a while before I get to set it up, but I finally got it. ๐ฅณ ๐ป

Yes, from what I can tell, Lineage doesn't improve connectivity from stock. So my Pro1x does fine on T-Mobile on stock and does the same on Lineage. Others, who have had problems, have reported those same problems on Lineage.

I don't know if this is my problem or not, but it may be and, if so, I need to know how to do the above, because I'm not sure what it means. However, here is what has gone on up until now. I am trying to flash Droidian on my original Pro1 (not Pro1x). I previously had Lineage on the Pro1. I downloaded droidian-OFFICIAL-phosh-phone-fxtec_pro1-api28-arm64-25_20230324.zip and unzipped it into a folder on my Thinkpad running Manjaro. I then put my Pro1 in bootloader mode and then issued the command ./flash_all.sh Everything went fine, there were no errors. The Pro 1 reboot

There is also my solution (developed for my Pro1, but I like it even though my Pro1x has okay connectivity),,, getting a cheap slab phone to use as a phone and hotspot. Sure, a hotspot is smaller, but it isn't any cheaper than a middle range moto slab on sale and I always have enough pockets. And I get to keep using Verizon. I use my Pro1x 95% of the time, but I have a reliable Verizon phone when I need it and the cheap moto can take the wear and tear of taking it in and out iof the dash mount in my Honda for Android Auto. ๐

Pro1X - Lock Bootloader, but now, cannot Unlock it anymore
Hook replied to azamrazman's topic in General Discussion
I think this is your best hope... Note. I've never done this myself. As you've learned the hard way, you cannot OEM lock the bootloader on anything but the OEM stock. If you want a locked bootloader, you will have to stay on stock Android. -
Yes, that is still good. Airplane mode helps. I never use that as I want my emails and dropbox and such updating in real time.
-
That's definitely good, especially if you were actually doing anything with it during those 8 hours.
-
Thanks for your early development efforts for the Pro1. I still use Fulguris as a fast and efficient browser (alongside Firefox, which I keep just for access to my desktop bookmarks when I need one).

I received my tracking number this morning as well... and it is to the correct destination! ๐ฅณ

LineageOS 20.0 Official Release for Pro1
Hook replied to CornholioGSM's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Yup, did the same here. Except apparently I couldn't boot to my other slot, I think because I had installed Lineage without anything Google or Magisk and the old slot had the works. When I tried to boot, it claimed the data was corrupted and I had to factory reset. Here's the odd part. I factory reset and it booted into Googleless Lineage-- it was the May 1st nightly and the touch screen is working fine. ??? Be curious what @EskeRahnfinds when he sideloads May 1st-- is the problem with OTA, a problem that Factory resetting solves? Luckily my Pro1 has become my experimental device -
I have no idea what to make of this situation. I don't think it's a scam. That is, I am pretty sure it really was FxTec (Francisco, bot or not) asking for my money and I'm pretty sure the Paypal invoice was really from them, and assume the same with yours. So, to my mind, that makes the most likely scenario that they somehow gave you the wrong tracking number (more likely, I think, than they sent your package to someone in GB, though we can't rule that out). Nowhere does FedEx indicate that you ever figured into this shipment. It may even be that your battery hasn't actually been shipped at

Certainly allowed, but skeptical we will get much out of it. There are just too few of us regularly on this forum. -
app Interface - Bluetooth PC keyboard for Android tablets
Hook replied to Slion's topic in General Discussion
For the life of me I can't figure out how to trigger 3rd and fourth layer symbols. I've tried holding separately and in various combinations Alt GR, Ctrl, Alt, Fn and shift. Lol. It is likely user error, but clearly I'm missing something or my tablet is incompatible in some way. -
app Interface - Bluetooth PC keyboard for Android tablets
Hook replied to Slion's topic in General Discussion
Oh yes, I don't know why it didn't work the first time I tried with my Thinkpad X230 running Manjaro. Works fine now. What was weird, though, and possibly a coincidence, is that I lost my sound feedback when I connected to Linux, When I repaired with my Windows Thinkpad, the sound was still gone. I had to reinstall your app to get the sound back. Have no idea what happened there. Will run more tests to see a)if it keeps happening. b) is it my tablet doing something funny and not your app (likely) c)if there is any pattern. Made me realize how important BOTH the sound and vibration f -
I'm glad you are happy with the script, but it sounds like you were, in fact, not successfully rooted with Magisk.
-
On Lineage 20, it's a lot easier. Having flashed the Magisk zip in recovery to give me SU when I first set up Lineage, I open Root Explorer and grant it Superuser privileges, mount root as r/w, go to System/vendor/etc/gps.conf. Tapping the file opens it in a text editor, I added #test at the top of the file and saved. Remounted root as r/o and bob's your uncle, as far as I can tell. No reason it shouldn't work if you rooted stock, but I never tried so can't say for sure.

app Interface - Bluetooth PC keyboard for Android tablets
Hook replied to Slion's topic in General Discussion
I've been fiddling with this off and on and it is really pretty nice. Surprisingly nice. The haptics are one key to this-- they really help a touch screen keyboard, the vibration standing in for feedback, so the more a tablet has good vibration the better. It helps to go into accessibility settings on my tablet and change "touch and hold delay" from the default "short" to "long." This reduces keys being accidentally typed just because your fingers are not quite steady passing over them. I have been mostly using the US QWERTY. I looked quickly at US International, but I have to figure -

Hook replied to Hook's topic in General Discussion
Lineage update 20230427 installed via OTA updater. All went smoothly, April 2023 security patch, Root maintained with no additional action on my part. Still boots when plugged in while off, but wasn't expecting that to be fixed yet. All is well!- 137 replies

Pro1, Ghost touches and other digitizer and display issues
Hook replied to [email protected]'s topic in Support
Interesting workaround while waiting for a new display. Thanks. I didn't know about that one. -
As you can see above, I got my quote and sent in my address so I could get an invoice (they needed the address to figure in shipping on the invoice) on April 5th and silence ever since. @Casey Come on, guys, I'm trying to give you money! ๐ Ticket #10917
