    What I tested and works with keyboard:

    • Asphalt 8: steer with arrows, space for nitro, s key for handbrake/drift
    • GTA 3, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas: same key bindings as on PC, cheat codes work too (those also work on my Priv)

    What I will test soon:

    • Implosion: Never Loose Hope: should work as it does with my Priv keyboard

    Duuuude, something like SA-MP would be amazing on the Pro1. Not that it'll ever happen because Kalcor is a fucking asshole and a terrible developer to boot.

    @topic: I briefly tried Pokemon Explorers of Darkness under RetroArch, let's just say the experience was awful. Tips?

    I'm not sure how universal this is.  My build quality so far is fantastic.

     

    Yeah, this is kind of duh.  😉

    Again, not here

    Again, not here on Lineage OS.

    I like they keyboard except for how we get / and ?. but I've adapted easily.  Most of the other points aren't that relevant for me (e.g.,I don't use a phone for video much) and therefore can't attest one way or another.  Are there improvements that could be made on a first ever phone for a new company, sure.  I certainly hope they make it to a Pro2 or whatever where they will no doubt do that.  But I would reverse your opening statement:  "If you really want a good keyboard phone, buy a Pro1!"  🙂

    As Eske said, different priorities.

    Android is not optimized for landscape devices whatsoever unlike something like Maemo which is designed from the ground up for landscape use. Have been using a N900 for almost 10 years now and the Pro1 doesn't come close. Maybe if it ran Maemo-Leste and had Nokia tier build quality I would have reconsidered my opinion.

    So it's been almost a year since I received my Pro1, here are my thoughts:

    Unless you _absolutely_ want a keyboard phone, do not buy the Pro1. Why not?

    • So-so build quality (my display was f'd from the start but now it's getting worse, the edges on the right side of the display are starting to become black)
    • Play in the slider hinge
    • Software is atrociously bad and quite unstable at times, even with LineageOS
    • Being unable to film anything properly with the camera because the mic is borderline useless
    • No Maemo /s
    • The staggered keyboard layout is dumb IMHO

    I could have spent that €670 I paid on something better like towards a new bike. I only use the Pro1 now when i'm going away from home for extended periods and even then I still use my N900 for Rockbox.

    Interesting, Unfortunately It seems to only record in the left hand channel from the right hand microphone when selected... 😖

    Hit another bug:

    It split my goddamn recording in five even though I explicitly disabled it in settings!

    Sigh. If I can't get the mic to work properly i'm just going back to my N900's camera. I did manage to film in 4k this time around though, it was a setting uncovered by enabling Camera2 API.

    Lots of posts in the last few hours so I'm going to do a bulk reply. here...

     

    @Wasmachineman_NL @DieBruine the Pro1 has not licensed aptX and the required aptX libraries should not be installed.  Therefore aptX should not work.  I am not familiar with the meaning of "HD audio" as it relates to BT.  Perhaps someone can enlighten me?

     

    @EskeRahn @FlyingAntero the new build is larger because Nolen added "firmware" to the build.  I'll have to look into this to see exactly what was added and where.  Also, the changelog does not update exactly in sync with the builds.  I'm not sure why changes for other devices would be included, as I never looked at the code to generate the changelogs.  And lineageoslog.com is not an official Lineage site.

     

    @marmistrz the update instructions from test builds to official builds are exactly the same as the install instructions that you can find on either my lineage page or the official wiki.  Start by booting into the official lineage recovery, sideload the official lineage build, reboot into recovery, sideload gapps and su, and reboot.  The only real difference is that you do not need to wipe as you would if you were coming from stock.

     

    @TeZtdevice you should not uninstall system apps in Android.  I would recommend re-flashing Lineage to fix it.

     

    Ya know what's strange? N900 as music player, Pro1 for phone and the PXC 550 as headset connected to both over BT works, almost seamlessly too!

    It's a 21 minute long video, what exactly are we supposed to be looking for? 

    Sound being borderline unhearable. I installed LineageOS and very briefly tried the camera: WOW WTF, it's miles ahead of the factory camera!

    Look at this shit:


    I paid nearly €700 for this thing and I have to put up with broken as hell software with problems like not being able to record with proper sound or spontaneous reboots. Shame on you Fxtec! Software QA needs to become much better if you really want to break through because most people won't tolerate bugs like this.

    Better is subjective. But there are many fixes and features.

     

    Not sure what your issue is with the camera.

     

    EdgeNull is not needed, I added my own solution. Don't know what Audipo is.

     

    If you are interested, give it a try. You should not expect people here to give you a sales pitch.

     

    Audipo is a music player with pitch changing option on the paid version. My issue with the camera is that the Pro1's camera software (and software in general) is garbage.

    Precisely.

     

    Google makes Android and publishes the sources.  The LineageOS team takes those sources and fixes bugs, adds features, etc.

     

    Of course it is more complicated in practice and I left out all of the history.  But that is the takeaway.

     

    How better is it compared to stock Android? Does it unfuck the camera? Do things like EdgeNull and Audipo work?
