Here's another one. The ROM dated '20250326', available at https://findus.zwergenschaenke.net/~puma/linux.html#lineagepro1 gives you my latest unofficial build of LineageOS 16.0 for Pro1 (qx1000). To make the thread more accessible, I'll recapitulate the full list of enhancements with respect to official every few months. So here it comes: Backported AOSP fixes up to the "1 March 2025" ASB (official LOS 16.0 stopped updating in January 2022). Improved keyboard behaviour, partly backported from later LOS releases (code changes can be found in my local patch tarball).

I've just uploaded build '20250309' of LineageOS 16.0 for OG Pro1 (qx1000) to https://findus.zwergenschaenke.net/~puma/linux.html#lineagepro1 Changes since last release: Backported fixes up to the "February 2025" Android Security Bulletin. Updated system WebView and browser to Chromium 133.0.6943.137. Have fun.

Thanks for the feedback. With my Pro1 still on LineageOS 16.0, this works. I can select multiple layouts under "Keyboard & input methods > Physical keyboard" and then cycle through them on the fly. Pretty cool, actually. I didn't know about this feature. However, on the Pro1 with LOS16, the hotkey for layout switching is Ctrl + Spacebar. Yellow arrow + Spacebar is equivalent to pressing the power button in my case, which is another pretty cool feature introduced by @tdm with his initial port of LOS.

OK. I just think: this sounds like a general regression in AOSP, as keyboard support in Android is generally nothing specific to the Pro1 (hence my question whether this is also observed in the Pro1-X port). I just wonder if it could be worthwhile to open a bug against LineageOS because of this.

I probably missed why you have been including this warning every week for quite some time. Is this problem unique to the Pro1 (as the corresponding qx1050 thread does not mention it)? Anyway, it seems I can find no open bug reported against LOS about this. So, whatever your issue is, I doubt it will ever be resolved "automatically" by an OTA.

Another unofficial build of LineageOS 16.0 (for qx1000) is here, celebrating 3 years of support beyond its AOSP EOL. 🥳 At https://findus.zwergenschaenke.net/~puma/linux.html#lineagepro1 Go for the ROM dated 20250203. Changes since last release: Backported fixes up to the "1 January 2025" Android Security Bulletin. Updated system WebView and browser engine to Chromium 132.0.6834.122. Have fun.

The respective fix for the Pro1 is here: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_kernel_fxtec_msm8998/+/318274 Note that this is specific to the qx1000.c keyboard driver in android_kernel_fxtec_msm8998, it won't be directly applicable to another device.

The only way of "upgrading" is installing LineageOS 22, which will give you the equivalent of Android 15. Since LIneageOS re-uses most of the device drivers from stock Android 9, it is unlikely that audio or camera quality will be improved. At least I do not know of any such updates. That being said, a recent LineageOS will give you all those Android security patches since 2020, which is of quite some value in itself ...

Congrats. 👍 I once documented my very similar procedure here: This was before the rubber-band trick was discovered, so I hadn't tested if that would have worked in my case. At the time, I also measured 0 V between the pins, but you are probably right, that the internal protection disconnects the cell below some critical value. My Pro1-X has been working fine since (though I do not use it much anymore).

This is ridiculous. I understand that F(x)tec are low on resources, but Let's Encrypt certificates are available for free! They literally would only need to run the 'certbot renew' command. I can only hope they will pass on the contents of this forum to the community in some way before the server goes down, otherwise all the (mostly unofficial) info on the Pro1/Pro1-X we have collected here will be lost ...

Slightly off-topic: My browser has been flagging this site as insecure for weeks. Could someone please just run 'certbot -renew' once? 🙄

The latest unofficial LineageOS 16.0 (for qx1000) is available at https://findus.zwergenschaenke.net/~puma/linux.html#lineagepro1 Go for the build dated 20250108. Changes since last month: Backported fixes up to the "1 December 2024" Android Security Bulletin. Updated system WebView and browser to Chromium 131.0.6778.200. Have fun.

Those are hardware issues, unfortunately. All recent releases of Lineage (including mine) have a workaround implemented in the keyboard driver that suppresses unwanted multiple keystrokes (https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_kernel_fxtec_msm8998/+/318274). For the undetected keypresses, there is unfortunately no software fix. I have three Pro1s. One (the oldest) has that issue to the point where the keyboard is almost unusable, the second has one or two keys that sometimes need two presses to react. Only my most recent device has a flawless keyboard. All three run t

Nope, it isn't. My Pro1s (still on LineageOS 16 and located in Germany) generally indicate "LTE" or "LTE+", which are different variants of the LTE protocol. In areas where network coverage is bad, my phones drop to "EDGE" (2G, still available in Germany). You are supposed to be able to somewhat influence the protocol switching behaviour using the "Preferred network type" system setting, but I've never seen much effect while playing with this. For practical purposes, "4G", "LTE", and "LTE+" are pretty much equivalent, and indicate the Pro1 is operating at the fastest protocol family it

@Rob. S. is absolutely right. QA with F(x)tec phones - especially with the Pro1X - is practically non-existent and you may always end up with a device that has issues in core functionality. And even the "best" specimens come with shortcomings you would never accept from a major manufacturer. Unless you really want that hardware keyboard, you should avoid the Pro1 and even more the Pro1X.
