  1. They have posted the fastboot factory restore files for 20200825 in the factory restore thread. The boot.img file is in the zip.
  2. I'm confused. I have write access to my SD card, I must not be understanding correctly. If I create a file in any program (for me mostly textmaker and QuickEdit) I can easily navigate to the sd card and save.
  3. @FlyingAntero came to the conclusion that the frames are different.
  4. I believe F(x)Tec has a support video for changing out the screen. I would imagine they would share it with you even if they didn't send you the screen. Worth contacting them.
  5. There is a flashall script included in the zip. Just be warned that, as is, the flashall will boot you without wiping user data. You don't want that to happen, so make sure you wipe userdata before firing off the flashall. The link for the zip is at the top of the post.
  6. Is this of any help? Not mine, but I have the link... https://gelraen.github.io/fxtec-pro1-teardown/

    Flaky GPS, Pro1

    Correct. I should have said something like "Some cars integrate the Android Auto app into their dash system." Frankly, I wouldn't find Android Auto all that useful if not integrated into the car. Making controls a little bigger on the phone doesn't make it all that much safer to use while driving and the voice controls are mostly there without Android Auto. It's the integration into the car's system (steering wheel controls, speakers and microphone) that make it valuable (for me). This was the whole reason I added a supplemental phone for Android Auto when it didn't work fully with Lineag

    Flaky GPS, Pro1

    Android Auto is an app that some cars have. It uses a USB connection to your phone to utilize some Android Apps (maps for navigation, music player apps, messaging, phone, etc) and format their output onto the larger car screen if you don't have navigation built in. It allows use of the controls on the steering wheel and voice, so you are pretty hands free on all operations. Plus, it keeps your phone charged because it uses a USB connection. 😄

    Flaky GPS, Pro1

    Where I am (Coastal VA), I've never had any problems with navigation using Android Auto with either stock or lineage (I had other problems with Android Auto on Lineage, mostly the hands free stuff, which made me switch Android Auto functions to a different, stock android phone). But on stock, I never had a problem with the Pro 1 and Android Auto.
  10. Me too. Both @elvissteinjr Tasker scripts and Null Edge (I preferred the former) worked well on stock for me, while the setting on Lineage makes them unnecessary.
  11. It offers the option on my phone, in recovery, under the adb sideload option. I will confess, however, I've never tried to use it.
  12. Yes and no. 9 months ago, COVID was hitting China and factories closed down in Feb. It's been a tough year. It doesn't necessarily translate to that long a wait if ordered now.
  13. Would appreciate a little more detail. DId you "Chat In" to the Verizon Tech and he/she then put in the request for you or did a Verizon tech have you chat in somewhere else to make the request. I'm not 100% clear how to reproduce what you did. I know of several Verizon techs I have talked to they have never brought up "CDMA-less activation" although it might just be becoming a thing as EOL for CDMA approaches. Appreciate the information.
  14. To update from a test build to a signed official nightly, you first have to flash the boot image (in this case the one dated 20200914). Then you use this new official and signed recovery to sideload the signed nightly.
  15. I'm with the majority here. Not that hard to adapt to, non-existent with Edge Null on Stock or with a setting on Lineage OS (which I am using). Unlike the majority, I don't like cases and will never have one. 😉
  16. When I said "my answer to this question..." I was addressing the OP. You didn't ask a question. Lol.
  17. I wouldn't say bad coding. They just don't plan for a low frequency use case when it would require little effort on their part because Android does the heavy lifting and does it quite well. Luckily, split screen handles the few stubborn apps I use-- and mostly the ones that won't do landscape are not very keyboard intensive (weather, bank) so it's actually fine to just flip a moment and do them. My answer to this question would be to simply ask how much you like Blackberrys. I had several, all work issued, and I hated them. I find portrait keyboards cramped and impossible to type on,
  18. While still not preaching, I wanted to come back after a week of using this setup and give a follow up. I mean, it sounded great, but it's possible that when the rubber met the road that it would turn out to be a clumsy way to do things. It has worked out even better than I imagined. The functional dividing line between the two devices is crystal clear. The phone (the Moto G8 Power) is always in my pocket although in fact I rarely pull it out except in the car, It is in my pocket so I won't walk out to the car without it. The Pro1 is always with me in the house and that is the device I
  19. I'll assume by September, you mean September 2020? This is a user to user forum, so unfortunately there are no answers here, only guesses,. The bad news is that they haven't yet managed to fulfill all the "pre-orders". They said something about another batch going out in early September, but we haven't had that confirmed, nor do we know how large a batch. The good news is, if they do succeed in fulfilling all the pre-orders, there probably isn't a huge number of new orders yet, so it really could be sooner rather than later. You'll really have to ask at [email protected] and se
  20. @EskeRahn or @Erik *might* be able to do it, but I'm not sure.
  21. This is what I have done to solve a couple of key problems I was wrestling with. Verizon connectivity (both Stock and Lineage) and problems with Android Auto (Lineage). Also, the fact that I want to keep Lineage and not return to stock. This is not a solution for everyone. Some may even say it isn't a solution at all. However, it has made me very happy! I first should provide some context for why I have done what I have done and why it works for me. I retired at the end of 2019 and then Covid hit. I am older and thus remain very cautious, even with the world trying to open up. I st
  22. Please don't mistake me for someone who knows what he's talking about, but I would try flashing the original factory image from October 2019. First, I think it is the only complete ROM. You can then take all the updates. I think it is worth a try. Make sure you once again wipe userdata as the flashall included does not do that and will reboot you without giving you a chance to do it.
