We'll see. I think the proposed behaviour is definitely useful. If the patch does not apply cleanly, I'll try to backport it. If all goes well, I'll start a LOS 16 build with your new driver code in the evening and will report tomorrow.

That would make a lot of sense, indeed. If the patch gets accepted in the kernel branch, would it be in effect for all LOS branches (16.0, 17.1, and 18.1), or just for 18.1? I could test against 16.0 by applying the patch to my local copy of 16.0. Should I?

How to customize the keyboard layout on LineageOS 18.1?
claude0001 replied to ivoanjo's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I should add that this does not work in all apps. E.g. sticky shift works in Firefox, K9-Mail and 1+Term, but e.g. not in ConnectBot or CollaboraOffice. So probably Apps can opt-in and out of that feature. -
How to customize the keyboard layout on LineageOS 18.1?
claude0001 replied to ivoanjo's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
No idea. I use the normal AOSP keyboard shipping with LOS 16. I suspected it was a feature of the latter, but at first sight I can't find any setting related to that. When I hit-and-release "Shift" once (without any other button), I enter "normal-sticky" shift, i.e. the next letter is capitalized, the following ones are lower case again. This is a quite common accessibility feature to enable use of a keyboard with a single finger (for e.g. disabled people). Hitting "Shift" twice makes capitalization "super-sticky" for me, meaning all letters are entered as capitals until "Shift" is p -
How to customize the keyboard layout on LineageOS 18.1?
claude0001 replied to ivoanjo's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
That's different. When you write all caps irrespective of the CapsLock state, you are in "Super-Sticky-Shift" mode. One enters that by hitting Shift twice (without pressing any other key). Disable by one more Shift press. That's a feature, not a bug, I guess. 🙂 The phenomenon @Slion mentioned is an inversion of CapsLock. I.e. with LED on you type minor letters, with LED off capitals. -

Do not worry, has happened to me once on LOS 16, too. I did not reasearch the issue, though. Just rebooted. 🤗 -
LineageOS 18.1 Official Release for Pro1
claude0001 replied to Wheeljack's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I was not aware Gapps could not be installed on a custom build. I have no Gapps, though, so I am the wrong person to ask. The only additional zip I sideload is Addonsu, and that works normally. -
How to customize the keyboard layout on LineageOS 18.1?
claude0001 replied to ivoanjo's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
You are probably determined to do it your way, which is fine. However, did you even consider to just use the provided QWERTZ layout as it is? All the special characters in your example sentence can be typed using the standard layout in LOS 16.0. "ö" is available as a key of its own. "Ã", "é", and "á" can be typed using the dead-key function of "´" (i.e. "´" followed by "i", "e", or "a"). Just sayin' ... Typing french is indeed more complicated, as only "´" and "Ë‹" have a dead-key function (on LOS 16, that is), not "^", which is a pity ... -
How to customize the keyboard layout on LineageOS 18.1?
claude0001 replied to ivoanjo's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
That works on LOS 16. That was discussed a few days ago. Seemingly the emoji palette is not enabled by default on LOS 18.1. It is a setting of AOSP keyboard. -
How to customize the keyboard layout on LineageOS 18.1?
claude0001 replied to ivoanjo's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
As far as I know, the driver in Lineage has been made different from the one in Stock for a purpose. And it has worked quite well for many people across 3 Lineage releases now. You seem to have a very specific use-case (that I still do not understand), which is totally fine. But please do not blame everyone else for being happy with things as they are. If you propose changes, please do not look only at your special case. Not that I understand much of the discussion, but the suggestion of @Slionto add one or more additional keyboard profiles to fulfill your needs seems reasonable and would -
How to customize the keyboard layout on LineageOS 18.1?

Do what you think is right for you. I suggest to just set up a virtual machine with Ubuntu LTS. It works. Running Ubuntu (or whatever other distribution relying on systemd) in a chroot is not trivial by first priciples of systemd. -

OK, if you wipe it should boot. Somehow the equivalent of: "Nuke the entire site from orbit!" Obviously the only way to teach 'em manners ... That it takes ages after a flash is normal ... or, at least, I got used to it. -

First things first: Congratulations! You have just build your own operating system for your phone. May zombie-apocalypse come, you will be among those who rebuild the world. Time to open a beer or something. It's interesting that you have a much more powerful CPU than mine but still get similar build-time (all assuming the amount of code is similar from LOS 16 to LOS 18). Mine is an ageing Core-i3 3220T, with only 3 of its 4 (hyperthreaded) cores assigned to the VM. It is my home server, which I use because its the only machine that runs 24/7 anyway. And, as the server does many othe -
How to customize the keyboard layout on LineageOS 18.1?
claude0001 replied to ivoanjo's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
No idea, honestly. I build only once per month and wipe everything in-between as I am limited in disk-space. I had a build fail once due to it running out of space after I did not clean out the previous one ... A fresh sync-and-build takes 10 ... 12 h for me (3 VM cores, 6 GB RAM), approx. 4 h of which it spends downloading all the stuff (100 Mbit/s). I honestly do not care about the speed. I start things in the evening and have my image when I wake up in the morning. 🙂 -

LineageOS 18.1 Official Release for Pro1

lol. Seriously. As I said, fire-up a VirtualBox (or whatever hypervisor you prefer) and install Ubuntu LTS in it. Make sure to assign enough disk space, 200 GB is absolute minimum. Much more is needed if you want to make several builds in a row (much faster) whitout wiping everything in-between. -
LineageOS 18.1 Official Release for Pro1
claude0001 replied to Wheeljack's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I most probably simply do not understand enough about how re-mapping works since I have never done that. But from a dummy user perspective: When (on LOS 16, qwertz variant with qwertz layout) I type "slantedarrow + i" (which is the key labelled "[" in yellow), I indeed obtain a "[" character on screen. According to @VaZso's research, I would expect to get the neighboring "]", but I don't. In Android Apps, all yellow-symbol keys work as expected for me. That said, I have had issues forwarding those to remote servers using many VNC client apps. So maybe at some level there are bugs, ev -
LineageOS 18.1 Official Release for Pro1
claude0001 replied to Wheeljack's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I maybe too tired to understand the motivation behind this. But I do get now you discovered a bug which is not apparent if one uses QWERTZ-layout-on-QWERTZ-variant and/or does not use custom keymaps? If so, the bug should be present since LOS 16 indeed, as the respective code in qx1000.c looks identical. -

No, I have QWERTZ. And when I hit "[" ("slantedarrow + i") on the keyboard, I indeed get a "[" on screen. I repeat: does this not work for you? -
LineageOS 18.1 Official Release for Pro1
claude0001 replied to Wheeljack's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
@VaZso, I'm also lost. So, what you say is when you type "slantarrow + i" on your QWERTZ keyboard, you get a "]" instead of a "[" (as yellow-labeled on the keycap)? That's not the case in LOS 16.0. I can type all yellow symbols as printed on the keyboard. So better do not blame @tdm too much. -
LineageOS 18.1 Official Release for Pro1
claude0001 replied to Wheeljack's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Sorry, @VaZso, I probably misunderstood. I'm not pushing anyone to do anything. You and Slion seemed to have quite specific ideas what changes in the keyboard code could be test-implemented to see if that would improve things for you. I fear either you find a LOS 18.1 dev who is willing to make those test-builds for you, or you will have to build yourself. The latter process is explained in a very comprehensive and fool-proof (looking at myself 🙂 ) way on the Lineage Wiki. Getting the latest device-specific code for the Pro1 into your build environment is automated by the "breakfa -

Going back without wiping should be possible by following the key-migration procedure "backwards", as also described under https://wiki.lineageos.org/signing_builds.html#using-a-script, followed by re-flashing the official recovery and system. Never did that though.
