  1. This is because if the stock launcher implementation. It handles not distorting the layout, particularly widgets, by forcing a two column architecture on you. For the same reason, you can't center widgets in landscape.
  2. That is fascinating given this was a new SIM they activated in your S5. My Pro1 is identified as a Moto G6 because that was the phone the SIM was provisioned for VoLTE in and transferred to the Pro1. Hey, if it works... but that is a head scratcher. Was it not a new SIM but one pulled from a turned in LG Voyager? Lol.
  3. I had this placement on my Nexus 6p and loved it. Made picking up the phone and unlocking it a single motion. Rarely had to even think about it.
  4. Maybe I am misunderstanding. If you simply want to search your apps, hit the F(x) Tec Logo key from the home screen and start typing on the keyboard. I assume this works on stock launcher and isn't a Nova Prime thing, but apologies if I'm wrong.
  5. The most likely reason for this problem is your SIM not having been provisioned for VoLTE in your old phone. That has to be done on the old phone first, before it can work in the Pro 1.
  6. Then you might at least do mentions for Erik and Waxberry so they get notifications. 😉
  7. I've never used screen protectors, even going back to my Palms (resistive touchscreen with stylus). Whenever I picked up my stylus I always (and pretty unconsciously) wiped my thumb over the tip).
  8. I suspect you need to change display size in settings to make it smaller than you currently have it. I'm guessing at the current display size, 3 rows is the maximum you have room for. However, just a guess. I might be wrong.
  9. When you make the connection, there will be a notification saying "charging this device via USB". Tap that and it will add "tap for more options" Tap again and all the options will be listed. Just tap "File Transfer." And no, it won't remember. That's Android 9.
  10. I'm not sure of your point since I wasn't making a claim of either good or bad signal. IRL, everything works so I'm happy. I was just providing David with ping data from another Pro 1, for whatever it might be worth to him.
  11. If it's of any use, here is what I get oinging the WiFI router gateway next to my desk <--I'm not an IT guy and am not very technical and may or may not be using the terminology correctly. 😉
  12. Yes, exactly, the SIM has to alreadt been provisioned in a Verizon approved phone. In fact, Verizon online may in fact think you are still using the old phone. My Verizon account (Pre-Pay) shows my phone as my Moto G6. Verizon doesn't care about that, or at least they didn't when I clled it to their attention. I had checked with them to make sure they wouldn't later pull the rug out from under me. 😉
  13. Here is the Verizon thread, and, yes, as @ermghoti said, Verizon is pahsing out their CDMA network and has no interest in allowing a new, unknown phone from a small company on their old CDMA network. They won't even register their own phones on it anymore. However, the Pro 1 works fine on Verizon (except possibly in areas where LTEis not prevalent yet).
  14. Opening with no clack is pretty easy on mine. Instead of stating from the front, I lift the back slightly and just push up with my thumb, guiding the screen into place rather than just letting it fly. It also requires the back fingers to slide down the back of the screen as you open it. A little slower, but easy to do if you need to open it quietly.
  15. Check to see that the physical keyboard language is "default"-- the slant arrow (which serves as the yellow FN key) + L will get you "?" Same for slant arrow + P fpr "/". If you have any other language than "default" selected, it won't work.
  16. Supposed to work like this (minus the TWRP step): https://www.thecustomdroid.com/install-ota-update-rooted-android-device-guide/#How_to_Install_OTA_Updates_on_Rooted_Android_Devices Found this after my adventure, so never got to try it out. It depends on getting the original patching and rooting right.
  17. I can tell you that I have the same build number in the US. I doubt there are regional builds. I originally rooted with the December build. Strangely enough, I used the patched image @Craig first posted which was not made using the December update boot.img. It worked, but later on, when I tried to unroot to take the Januaray OTA, things got really messed up. Unfortunately, I wasn't systematic enough to really pin-point where and how things went wrong. I ended up reflashing the October Factory imaged provided by @Waxberry and just redownloaded all the OTAs, including the (at that time) ne
  18. Sorry. I've used Nova Launcher for so long, I always forget the app drawer button is not part of Android.
  19. 1 Yes, the slider gets easier and you end up being able to do it one handed. There are discussions of this here including videos. 2. DDtW has been temporarily disabled to work out a bug. 3. Go to Settings, system,gestures and turn off Swipe up on home button.
  20. You sure you don't have something installed that's a troublemaker, because things have been pretty smooth since the January update.
  21. Which reminded me... just stopped by Anssi's page to donate another couple of beers! 😀
  22. Mine doesn't do that at all. You might check the screws. If any sticker is not flush, it has been suggested that it indicates a screw that is not fully tightened. Don't know if this helps.
  23. @alexmarzulli Phone signal and service is tricky to report as a bug because there are so many variables, as you can see from the following thread: I'm in the US and so am useless to give advice. There are a lot of US posts in this thread because US network operators are terrible at accommodating strange new phones they don't know, but there might still be things to look at. I know that by default on the Pro 1 VoLTE is not provisioned, so if your service is dependent on that you may need to flip those switches using *#*#4636#*#* With all the new phones getting ou
  24. This source should be up to date: https://android.onse.fi/finqwerty/ I just meant checking out the maps, not the actual kcm files.
