  1. Yes, you are correct. I did try doing it as if it were one of tdm's updates and got roundly put in my place when I tried to sideload it with the Test 22 recovery 😄 . SO, yes, booted into bootloader and used fastboot to flash the boot image to the active partition, rebooted to recovery and then all the adb sideloading went well! I'm up and running. Thanks!
  2. So, forgive my noobness, but if I am updating (preserving data) from Test 22, can I just adb sideload the new nightly, then use the advanced menu on the phone to reboot into recovery (which should be the new recovery image) and carry on with suaddon and Gaaps, or do I need to fastboot flash the new recovery first?
  3. I've been thinking about what you said here and I think it's a misperception of the Pro1 (although I won't pretend I'm entitled to speak for Chen). I don't think the Pro1 was ever marketed as a "premium" phone and it isn't. First, notice that their marketing motto is "Function is Key." The Pro 1 is much more a descendant of the Nexus phones than a Pixel, iPhone or Samsung phone. It is a very solid midrange phone (with good specs) strapped onto a premium keyboard. My theory is that they really had to do that or we would be looking at a $1200 phone. They poured everything into the keyboard (
  4. I think I'll give bit a try. I don't need Verizon, it has just kind of turned into an obsession. 😁
  5. I wish I could figure out why Verizon is not working here. Did you have to change any settings? I'm thinking of doing a fresh install wiping user data and see if that somehow does the trick. Will be a pain, even with backups, if all that work ends up not being successful. The SIM works fine in the mule phone but not at all with test 22 on the Pro1.
  6. For what it's worth, I've always reinstalled MindTheeGapps (addonsu too) when I've updated. It's probably superstition, but I know it will work every time if I do that. Always did that with Dirty Unicorns even though they would claim I didn't need to. But then, every so often people who hadn't would have problems. 😉 I'm kind of a manual guy. Even on my Sammy Tab S with Lineage, I use TWRP rather than use the updater.
  7. Not necessarily a bad guy, but a little touchy. 😉 Look, yes, communication is not F(x) Tec's strong suit. And, yes, they often don't get things to happen when they say they will (in large part because, being a very small company in the UK, they don't have full control of the whole operation-- which is also part of why they hesitate to communicate). However, we are just a user forum. None of us work for F(x) Tec and we don't know any more than you do, so why get upset with us. You can try invoking @Erik who does work for F(x0 Tec. I would speculate that the shops had pre-orders as
  8. I drive around (well, not so much lately) with the Pro1 plugged in for Android Auto and have never had a problem with overheating (warm, yes) or the phone shutting down in the car, Back when I was getting resets It did happen in the car once or twice, but never was overheating a reasonable suspect. By the way, on Lineage, I haven't seen a spontaneous reboot since @tdm said he removed the tap-to-wake elements left from stock. I really can't imagine why I'd ever go back to IdeaLTE stock at this point. Curiosity, maybe. It would be a quick trip if I did. 😉
  9. Sadly, I just tried and Verizon is still not working here on Test 22 for me. I assume being rooted isn't a problem (which would be a deal breaker that would keep me on AT&T anyway). I really don't need Verizon anymore, but I'm puzzled and I still have a couple of weeks left on the SIM. 😉
  10. Well, I did what (I thought) you asked me to do so you might as well have the result. This is what was at the end of the file. Is this what you were looking for?

  11. I am seeing it now. I only notice it if I watch my status bar closely. It doesn't change from 5Ghz to 2.4 Ghz, but the wifi fan will flicker off and then on... but it is so fast I don't t=really notice any break in connection. It seems to give my mobile data a little more grief as it keeps shifting it's signal strength, but since I am retired and stay mostly at home on wifi, that isn't noticeable much either. So looks like something is going on, but in terms of real world use hasn't been as noticable as it seems to be for the others, perhaps because of my circumstances (and lack of technic
  12. For what it's worth, I am just not seeing any problems with wifi connectivity and, although I am speaking anecdotally as I don't do much real battery monitoring, I am not noticing any unusual power drain. I am using Test21. I am in the US with a Qwerty model on the off chance that might make a difference.
  13. I've mostly already shared this with @tdm, but for whatever reason, when I got my sim back, Verizon just doesn't work. I tried with both test20 and test21. Everything seems to be set right and the phone knows it has a Verizon sim, but when I try to call it fails to find the network. Assuming there are no real hardware differences between tdm's Pro 1 and mine, I have to assume there is another variable at work here and not a problem with what tdm did to set up Lineage. With Verizon shutting down CDMA and expanding LTE at different rates in different places, maybe tdm's network is different
  14. If you got stock assigned, it's coming. Another week or even two, what does that matter at this point? Be happy. You'll have a great keyboard phone soon. why waste so much energy on whining when you could be happily anticipating. Sheesh, at least wait to see if it's Monday or Tuesday (OMG, one to two days late). If they stopped to do updates for every phone, they wouldn't have time to actually see to it that they get out. They said it is coming. It will. Be excited.
  15. Have you tried asking [email protected], or by using the support form on this site or by asking @Erik? If a mistake was made, they can ferret it out.
  16. Installed smoothly here too! 👍
  17. I know it's hard, but it is very difficult for them to be exact and has always been that way. If you got a order allocated email earlier this week, know that it is indeed coming. But even going back to December, "end of the week" would often wrap around to sometime the next week. Not because they are messing with you but because they don't control all aspects of the operation-- that is, they depend on others. Just a little longer. Trust me, the wait is worth it.
  18. Lol. Can't wait to get my SIM back Monday. I'm dying to try out Verizon! 😉 Thanks so much,
  19. Not sure why you are giving him such a serious detailed response... he does, after all, admit at the outset that he's a troll. 😄
  20. Don't really know how helpful this will be. I got mine last December and that was a really different world, for shipping as well. I was told on Thursday December 5th that my order was completed. I'm pretty sure I had a notification from FedEx the next day showing the package in Hong King. It then sat there the entire week-end and then began moving on Monday. It went to Alaska before coming into the big FedEx hub in Memphis and still managed to reach me in Virginia by Tuesday afternoon. International shipping has been affected like everything else by the Covid stuff, so I would probab
  21. I flashed Test18. So far no problems. I use Nova. Arrow keys work again. 😄
  22. Yup, was just typing up my discovery of the swapping of the arrow keys when you posted.
  23. Test 17 installed smoothly. Everything seems fine (QWERTY).
  24. That's the advantage of Lineage. We can be updated to 10 maybe before IdeaLTE does it. And even if we can't, security updates can be delivered. My Samsung TAB S from 2014 is on the Lineage version of Nougat, but it has the June 2020 security update. I'm not arguing if you prefer Linux, but just saying that Lineage can keep Android going far past Google's official support. So long as apps don't exceed the capability of the hardware, things can go on a long time.
