I've been quite busy with other things lately. Why do you need it, and why won't the existing one (the one used for sailfish install) work?

A few folks on the discord server have been experimenting. In particular "kabouik" installed OpenJDK in a LXC container. I sent him the minecraft java files and pointed him to the lwjgl arm64 libs. He was able to get it running, but as mentioned, it is rather slow due to lack of GL. So we have two working solutions but neither are accelerated. In the meantime I've found android based minecraft launchers. So I'm not sure which is going to win out yet. PS: this is not for me, it is for my oldest son. Apparently minecraft PE (bedrock) and minecraft java behave

The link in the OP is the latest.

A bit OT but ... does Minecraft Java run on this? And if it does, how well does it run?

It will get its own thread.

The archiver is making good progress. I got busy with "real" work the past couple weeks so it has slowed a bit. The following is working: - backup and restore partitions and filesystems. - standalone and client/server mode. - all data is compressed and encrypted. It still needs: - incremental support. - an android app. - android selinux policies. I'm working on incremental support now. Once that is done, I will publish the code and being using it for my own backups on my Linux servers. Currently I'm using a very old and probably rath

Absolutely. I tend to wait until release or close to it before I start playing with a new version. It just takes too much time and work to keep up with the changes before that point. I'll keep an eye on Lineage and AICP to see when they get close to doing releases.

I'm not really familiar with this popup.

Yes that's always an option. I can read a wireshark capture to see what is happening.

There was an attempt to do sticky FN keys on Lineage gerrit but it wasn't done well. I would like to tie that to the keyboard sticky flag but don't know if that is easy to do. Or, I guess it could be another custom keyboard setting.

The logo key is the shortcut key. For example logo+b starts a browser. I can look into making it remappable though.

Typically (not always!) sdcards 64gb and larger are formatted exfat by the factory. I am not quite sure what format Android will use for sdcards, but it is most likely not exfat regardless of the size.

Okay I figured out the problem with yesterday's build. I did not clean out my build tree from last time, and the Lineage guys changed the location of a file so I had two copies in the zip. I've done a clean build and verified that it flashes and boots okay this time. New build, same link: 2b0478469b9f756f613f20549cee6b9f Dec 7, 2020 ... and please test exfat, my "big" sdcard is currently formatted ext4 so I haven't tried it yet.

Official lineage will never do incremental updates. It apparently takes too much storage on the back end. Don't ask me why they can't buy more drives when storage is so cheap today... the lineage directors just don't seem to care enough about users to make this experience better.

Correct.

I have a bit of a unique perspective as a developer that was given a device and also privileged to some extra chats with FxTec. FxTec is a good company with good people and good intentions. They have worked very hard to deliver even though covid killed their ODM and almost killed them. They will do their best to get all orders filled, I'm sure of that. That said, FxTec has awful communication practices. I truly feel for folks that pay good money and don't get any updates for weeks or months. And for folks that send their device in for repair then don't get any ETA or u

Thanks I'll take a look.

Mine is a pre-release model. That shouldn't affect anything for EDL.

EDIT: this build may not be good, flash at your own risk! Alright the new build is up. Same link. md5=4981e2547d288954d588d8ac4301e3f3 Build date: Dec 6, 2020 I've added exfat support, updated to the latest code, and I'm investigating why the file-based incremental updater (still!) won't work properly. This time it is selinux issues. Sigh.

@MickH silly question since you are on Linux ... have you ensured that nothing else is interfering with the USB port? ModemManager is a common culprit.

Another quick update... My day job has been keeping me pretty busy, but I've made some progress. The archiver now builds and runs on Android, both in stand-alone and client/server mode. I have some more work to do before it is ready, but it's definitely progressing. Also, I still have to write a basic app for creating and managing backups and restores. I'd like to say this will be done in the next couple weeks, but I can't make any promises. Additionally, I was reminded that neither stock nor Lineage support exfat. So I will add that into the kernel for my AICP bui

I honestly don't know. But I am on discord and the aicp server is active.

It can be tricky to get right. Try opening the tool and the file, then plug in your phone when it is ready to flash. Also EDL is sensitive to USB hardware. Try different ports. USB 2 is better than USB 3. Good luck!

Any key should wake the display, I think.

Yes, you will be able to schedule it. The app will allow you to schedule a daily backup. The backup will be able to stream to a private server. Though it will not use ssh -- it will likely use https and a CGI script. You may place a custom keymap file at "/data/system/keyboard/keymap". At boot, this file will be read and used to modify the physical keymap. This setting allows you to enable/disable reading the file at boot.
