I've had three - the one that came with the phone and 2 Aliexpress replacements. The original had 2 tiny black marks in the corners. The first replacement was flawless. Then the phone fell out of my pocket as I got out of a van and that screen shattered when it hit the ground...the next replacement had one large black spot in a corner. It seems to be that the black spots are areas of dead backlighting, you can still just barely see the content especially in dark rooms with the backlight near minimum.

Some cool builds in here, I think I will be going the "hack a keyboard onto a phone" route in the future, probably with a Furi FLX1.

Anyone have a late LineageOS 16 build for the Pro1? (Also sticking with it for now for rooting-related reasons)

Went to upgrade and once again found that Lineage has dropped support for the device+OS combo I was running, and since I didn't download a build before it was purged from their site, I now can't upgrade within that configuration at all. So I'm now forced to upgrade to LineageOS 17, or the experimental 18 build. Has anyone been able to root these? Or does anyone have one of the last lineageos16 builds by any chance?

I received one I ordered to be printed yesterday, but I think it came out a tiny bit too small...the front bumper doesn't quite fit and the rear cover isn't close to fitting.

After a few days of struggling with this, I discovered a shockingly easy technique for opening and closing the phone smoothly, hold the keyboard section with your index fingers and pinky fingers and then grip the sides of the screen section with your thumbs, then you can easily open or close it by moving the screen section diagonally up and away or back down and toward you.

Anyone know why exfat-formatted microSDs report as having an unsupported format? A kernel limitation, or this bug? https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/1404

Now running into the problem of getting "'/dev/root' is read-only" when trying to remount / as rw, I need to do this to make /system writable so I can install busybox, anyone know if there's a way to do this? Edit: Found a solution: Through ADB on a running phone: adb root adb disable-verity adb remount Then you can remount / at the terminal, in this case I then ran the busybox installer with modified scripts and got it working!

Having another problem now, even though the apps root option can be selected and I can run "su" in a terminal successfully, root access still doesn't seem to be entirely working. Busybox install fails to remount /system as rw, and the Root Verifier app says "ROOT PERMISSION NOT GRANTED OR SUPERUSER APP MISSING" and then "BUSYBOX NOT INSTALLED OR NOT SYMLINKED" (of course). It then shows the superuser app as "16cm-su", any ideas? Edit: Looks like the busybox install failure is a known issue: https://github.com/meefik/busybox/issues/78 Workaround for busybox install here: https://githu

Followed the instructions, LOS is installed, but even after sideloading the addonsu arm64 .zip directly after sideloading the lineageOS .zip, I don't have root access - the only options available for root access in developer options are "ADB only" and "disabled." Edit: Installed it a 2nd time independently of any other installation and it worked, I guess you should reboot between sideloading LOS and addonsu.

Thanks, yeah installing LineageOS + addonsu at the same time using adb + fastboot as specified in the wiki looks like a winner 🙂

So it looks like for LOS 16, the "easy button" solution of installing LineageOS + addonsu via ADB will do what I want, but for later versions I should use Magisk? I assume I'd need to install LineageOS first, then extract a boot.img to patch?

Just got my new Pro1, software is untouched, trying to find the best way to install LineageOS and root the phone. Been doing a lot of research and my head is getting sore, I'm sure my day at work didn't help...any suggestions? From what I've found so far, the unofficial TWRP 3.3.1 is a bad idea except for installing SailfishOS, and Magisk seems to be the best solution for rooting. I'd like to keep FDE or FBE capability. Edit: I should add that I also want to be able to permit or deny root permissions to individual apps.

Got mine today, first one had to be sent back before it could get to me due to some shipping problem.

Hey goodman_j, I'm also ready to get a case, wouldn't mind paying for a beta-quality printout in black.

Just got my "stock assigned" email! Layout: QWERTY Ordered & paid in August 2019, made a change to the order in October 2019 Order #34xxx Shipping to Canada

Good question, I don't know, the documentation doesn't mention that. Many phones come with an option to disable quick charging in Settings-->Battery, I don't know if the Pro1 does.

With this app, root may be required: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.slash.batterychargelimit/

Impressive, with this kind of run time I may limit the maximum charge level to 80%~90% to extend the battery's useful lifespan.

I'll root the stock OS, probably won't switch to LineageOS as long as a rootable stock OS is a workable option.

I had a Motorola cheapo phone, then my first "smartphone" and keyboard phone, a Treo 180, then a Treo 650, then an N900, and now a Droid 4 running LineageOS 14.1 - within just the last few weeks the flex cable has started to fail so I've lost the hardware keyboard function

Interesting, I'll look into this, I assume you just disassembled the main body of the phone to get under keys and clean it?

I'm rooting for you too, F(x)tec! And I hope you'll root for me. As in rooting instructions available on shipping day :D

I also plan to root my Pro1 as soon as I get it, I'll try rooting the stock OS first and if that isn't an option I'll try flashing it to LineageOS.

I figured more delays were possible, if there are any more beyond this it's going to cause a problem for me though.
