Agree 100%, but I'm old too. 😂

Me too.

You should have kept reading... I rescinded what you quoted on Feb 25th. 😉

Do you reinstall the Gapps package each time? I do and my updates are always smooth. They should be preserved with each update, but I don't trust that and haven't for any ROM. I used to do the same thing when dirty flashing (updating) Dirty Unicorns and on my LOS 14 Tablet. I haven't experienced any problem with hearing calls.

Bingo. 👍

Guess I was never in a situation where work offered to pay for personal use. In fact, we had regular audits to insure work resources were not used for personal purposes. Still, I don't think I would. That work phone went onto a bag at 3pm and was ignored until it came out again at 6am. I like keeping work and life very separate. To each their own.

Yeah, I suspect that wouldn't work for you. I have the luxury of not worrying about that. When I worked, I never used my personal phone at work. I made them give me a secure phone used only for work. Now that I'm retired, well... 😄 Frankly, I just don't understand why people would voluntarily use their personal phone for work.

The fixes to the keyboard (multikey press) were made in the previous update. The keyboard backlight was not addressed. It is sounding more and more like this update was just to get the properly signed security update out. I'm betting IdeaLTE hasn't been back to work that long and that F(x) Tec is not top prioroty. I'm just guessing. I can't test anything because I am happily on LOS.

For what it's worth, the shutting down which had been happening nearly daily, has not happened since I installed the new Lineage build. Thanks, tdm. 🙂 (Hoping this isn't famous last words 😄 ).

I have always assumed (but I might be wrong) that the factroy reset in settings simply wipes userdata and reflashes whatever version is currently exits. I've never done a factory reset from settings to know if any of this is true. If I'm right, you would have the same version you have now with all updates. If you "factory reset" using the 2019 factory images Chen provided, then, yes, you will have to take all the factory updates to get to the latest version. The good news is, you won't be stuck on the broken update anymore if you took that one before. 🙂

Beautiful, so far. Manually sideloaded Test 15, MindTheGapps and the su addon, changed theroot setting to apps and adb and gave permission to Root Explorer and Titanium Backup and away I go. I'll let you know if I get any more phone turning off, but tbh, that hasn't happened in a few days anyway. Lol. I think it's time to buy @tdm another 6-pack. 🍻

Thanks, I never knew that existed. I'll have to give it a try. I'm not a big fan of Magisk, but the only instructions on this forum were for Magisk. Is the right one Arm64 or Arm?

Okay, so it seems to me that you are talking about a different "SU add-on" than Magisk as Magisk gives me root but does not add options for the root setting in developer settings. Are you talking about (formerly Chainfire's) SuperSU, which I've always used before, or is there another SU add-on you are referring to. I'm assuming the kernel trick works with what you are referring to and not with Magisk. I actually have no pressing need to hide root, but I am curious about how you are doing root just so I can learn the options.

I know about the developer options and have them revealed. The root settings option I've never touched. It has only 2 settings-- disabled and ADB only. "disabled" is the default and since neither setting seems right and root works, bI'veejust left it on disabled. So I am trying to figure how it maps to your explanation, but if everything keeps working I won't worry about it. 😉

I'm confused by this, probably because I know less than I should and tend to just follow instructions like recipes. I don't know of enabling SU for apps in settings. I just Flash Lineage, flash Gaaps and flash Magisk in recovery (rebooting recovery between each) and it just works. What settings are you referring to here? Is this new in the new build? Or can I just keep doing what I have been doing? Or (most likely), am I misunderstanding everything. 😄

I updated to test 14. Everything went smoothly. Not seeing any horizontal lines, flickering or otherwise, but will let you know if that changes.

So, of course, I haven't had the phone shuts off thing happening in days, but I will flash the new build tonight.

Pretty much nothing has changed since that Verizon thread. The Pro1 has not been officially registered with Verizon. To get it to work you will need a "mule" phone that has a Verizon SIM where the mule phone has been provisioned for VoLTE. You then transfer that SIM to your Pro1 and the Verizon system thinks it's still the mule phone. It works fine, mybe for months, but for some, myself included, it breaks down, usually with the symptom of refusing to send SMS. However, not everyone has reported that. I was lucky enough to be able to go to a GSM carrier (AT&T in my case) because I di

The snapdragon camera does show thumbnails, but only if you have logged in, not if invoked when the phone is locked. With the phone locked, all you can do is shoot a pic. I suspect they did it as a security measure and, yes, it is annoying, but that is how it's supposed to work.

Quite right. I only meant that they were encouraging to those who want to do it, providing links, resources and a user forum to document experiences and promoting alternative OSes in their official tweets.

It just happened to me again. I could not get this solution to work. I noticed there was no feedback from holding the power button (there's usually a very light kick from the button when the menu pops up) so I'm not sure I ever got the restart menu. I will try again the next time it happens. I have confirmed that that combination of Tabs and Enter should work if the menu comes up.

Not exactly. Google may not make it easy but they have explicitly stated in the past that rooting (and unlocking the bootloader) does not void warranty on their branded devices and I believe this is still true with Pixel devices. They even provide factory images that can be flashed before warranty repair. They simply state that if you get into trouble by altering Android code in some way you shouldn't, flash the factory image before sending your device in. F(x) Tec is the same. They encourage unlocking and rooting and doing so won't void warranty.

That's what I love about Lineage vs Stock... most of the workarounds are no longer needed and instead integrated into the OS. 😉

That's an alarm (and so is the icon in the status bar when you collapse it. Something has an an alarm set for 6:01 pm-- you can check alarm. It might not produce an actual alarm, depending on what's doing it. I used to use a calendar app called Pimlical and I would see an alarm for 2:00am jin that position (if there wasn't an actual alarm scheduled sooner) just because that was when the calendar app performed a daily housekeeping. Something on your phone thinks it has an alarm scheduled.

Ah, right, you must have selected an input language for the keyboard. Go back and deselect all... that will result in keyboard being designated as default and the slant arrows will work. Really, FinQwerty makes all of this soooo much easier. Again, been a long time (December) since I did the shortcut stuff, but I don't think the F(x) key is involved at all. It's in the settings for the launcher that you assign long presses on the keys, IIRC (which I my not).
