LineageOS 18.1 Official Release for Pro1
Hook replied to Wheeljack's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I'm pretty sure I don't really need to reflash Magisk or Gapps each time, but it's quick and easy, so I do. 🙂 -
This is deeply buried in the comments on IGG from 4 months ago, in reply by FxTec to a post by @EskeRahn. Of course, we don't know who was speaking... You can find it, but you have to do a *lot* of scrolling. 😄

Okay, That's disturbing. Here's what it read in January 2021, courtesy of the internet archive. https://web.archive.org/web/20210127063610/https://www.fxtec.com/faq I also see that the Pro1x FAQ has changed to 1 year warranty. The IGG pages aren't in the Internet archive, but we have VaZso quoting the original information here: I know the two year policy has been stated by FxTec people in the past, but there remains nothing official about it. Please let us know what you fond out. This change seems to have slipped in with no announcement. Would be lovely if it was just an

How can it be out of warranty? All Pro1s are still under 2 years since they were shipped. They could decide the initial drop was at fault and say it isn't a covered by the warranty, but the warranty should still be in effect.

So @tdm Just curious, not trying to bug you. Is this project dead? Any possibility of AICP picking it up officially so it can get regular updates? I obviously would like it to be resurrected, but "no" or "hell, no" are fine. I just would like to know. 🙂 Whatever the answer is, thanks for all you did!

Pro1, Ghost touches and other digitizer and display issues
Hook replied to [email protected]'s topic in Support
There's a bunch of sellers that have them on AliExpress. They will sometimes sell out and you'll have to go looking for another. This one works for now: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32956500815.html -
I'm probably in the minority, but one of the reasons I never had a keyboard phone before is when I tried the first Droids, the keyboard was just too damn small. The pro1 is perfect for me. My thumbs easily reach any key without my ever changing my grip. And having a screen that size and that resolution really makes split screen practical. This phone has really made keyboarding for me possible. I am so grateful. I snap out the keyboard even to type "OK" 😄 However, I suspect there are a lot of you folks, so I hope FxTec manages to survive to make a smaller model. I think they would

Pro1, Ghost touches and other digitizer and display issues
Hook replied to [email protected]'s topic in Support
Guess I was lucky and got mine in before the investigation was complete. They did have me take a lot of pics of my Pro 1 to rule out damage before I sent it in. I don't think it was unusual impact and thus suspect @VaZsois correct that there are a number of possible internal causes. So it's basically a digitizer problem (well, what else would it be). Reminds me a lot of the problems the old Palm TX had, which Palm never took much responsibility for. The digitizers were plastic and developed a severe difgitizer drift-- the screen activating a point away from where the stylus was pr -
IIRC, there never was OTA updates. This was an unofficial version maintained by @tdm, He has currently dropped off the radar, here at least. I have moved over to Lineage 18.1, which is too bad because I much prefer AICP.

Yes. No problems at all. 🙂 -

Same age as mine (which got fixed by FxTec last January). -
I suspect it is the same problem that makes the pop-up for alternate characters happen. The keys seem to have a very short time-until-repeat interval. If you delay how long you dwell on a key, it will repeat. There is no setting for this in Lineage and don't remember if there was in stock or if the default interval was longer. As far as I recall, this has been happening since Lineage 16, so maybe your keys are getting stickier in their response for some reason? To be clear, I am not experiencing troubles with this, but it took me while to train my fingers. Since you were not experienc

Odd we don't have the June security patch yet. -
I'm no expert, but based on my experience I would guess either the new cable or the new port (or both) took you to USB 2. USB 3 seems really finicky with this stuff. I now use USB 2 exclusively and have no problems.
-
Any microSD card should be compatible. I tend to get Sandisk (currently 256 GB) and I stick to Ultra rather than Extreme because the Pro1 doesn't really get the benefit that some high end DSLRs might. Frankly, as long as it is a Class 10, you should be fine. But I'm no expert. Others here are likely to know more.
-
Just to let you know, switching to Lineage will move you to Android 11 with current updates. That isn't to excuse the lack of updates in stock, just a useful alternative if it is practical for you.
-
Certainly not my experience with their repair service. Have you emailed them recently? The pic above just looks like confirmation that it was sent. Has the courier provided any documentation or other proof that it was delivered? I understand your frustration, but I really don't think they have any interest in stealing customers' phones. @Erik, can you be of any help here?

No troubles with Magisk 23.0 and the 31May update here, so I suspect something went awry with making that big of a jump. -

Hook replied to Wheeljack's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I have screenshot included on mine and I'm pretty sure I didn't when I first installed 18.1, nor did I find the option to include it back then. Unless I was just blind. I'm glad to have it back... I find it much more convenient there. -

Also, as previously reported, it works fine to take the newest Magisk version (23.0)) which is only available as an apk, and rename it as a .zip file in order to flash it via recovery when you flash the nightly. However, I should point out that I only use Magisk for SU, I don't ever open the app nor do I use any modules. -
I believe you are mistaking when FxTec released an update for the date of their latest updates. I believe the update released in August 2020 was the one with the April 2020 security patch. But then, I haven't been on stock for a long time either. 😄
