I plan to test the first stable release and see how the first time installation instructions go. The fine folks here have flashed and reflashed their machines so much that I'm sure they are used to the process by now, but if I can help in this tiny way by reviewing first time user set up, I might as well.

@goodman_j hey there, With LOS stable nearly ready to go (yay!) I'm actually faced with the prospect of carrying my Clack in a flip case....not as idyllic as I thought it would be. Are you in a position to sell any phone cases?

It's happening!!

Someone previously provided a way to make a lineageos test build. Is it possible to turn on selinux for that build and start trying it as a rough daily driver? I have my Pro1 on stock and not using it because I was waiting on LOS stable, but I admit I am beginning to lose patience just cause I want a pkb with me when I go out. I'm not about to rush tdm, I'm far too grateful for the work they have done to make LOS for the Pro1 a Thing to do that, this is more of a 'tide me over until LOS stable can happen' scenario.

This is an excellent case. If you were feeling generous and wanted to sell some and/or release the source files so we could order them from online - that would be killer. But if not, congratulations on a good case design either way.

What's your favourite HW keyboard phone?
Maplesteel replied to readyfx's topic in General Discussion
Fixed! I wonder how much time I have before the forum software locks me out of editing that message. Hopefully I can bug @EskeRahn once it locks, in case people have more devices to mention. -

A) ah, that would do it. During that time I was in Latvia, so not as much info as what the US was doing during that time. B) Of course it would... X( -

Fixed! I've never seen one of those in the wild. When I was young, it was Nokias, Nokias everywhere, oh and a smattering of HTC Wizards. The old rich men had Palm T|X devices if they were 'hip', and Pocket PCs if not. These weren't cell phones in most cases, because if you are well to do enough to have one of those fancy devices, you also had a secretary to field your calls for you! -

Nice photo composition! Those 'old' devices still look slick and futuristic to me. So far, the Hall of Fame for HWKB phones appears to include (in no particular order): Fxtec Pro1 (I think I need to start a wikipedia page until better editors can take it over) Motorola Milestone/Droid Motorola Droid 2(G,R2D2) Motorola Droid 3 Motorola Droid 4 Motorola Photon Q (one of the last phones before the great drought) Nokia E7 Nokia N900 Nokia N950 Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G HTC Dream/G1 HTC Desire Z/Vision/G2 (someone b -
FWIW on the desktop, you can close Firefox, then go to Alt > History > Restore Previous session on the desktop to restore all the tabs. I have been using Fennec Android (F-Droid Firefox build) on my Pro1 and I've opened it, browsed imgur for more time than I'd care to admit (1-? hours), then put the device down, gone about my day, and come back to it to find that nothing amiss had happened. FF does like to drink RAM juice but if you install the uBlock Origin and (for the disciplined masochists) addons, you get good and great memory savings, respectively. I've not

I use an AT&T MVNO on my main phone whilst working on the Pro1 cut-over. While I haven't yet flashed any LOS, would it help if I put my SIM into the Pro1 and report what APN settings it receives from the network? The Pro1 auto-set its APN settings when I fed it a T-Mobile USA Sim.

At the risk of getting your hopes up, I will add a reminder that a new order number is generated every time someone clicks "add to cart" and not actually orders it. You may not be as far away as you fear?
-
Is the size of this theoretical production run enough that one could order multiple cases?
-
Uh oh, I failed to do that. I will try to do that then take similar pictures as these since yours are much more useful than mine.
-
That is what I did. I'm after maximum protection and since I've done several cutouts to weaken the structure of the case, I want to add any strength back I can.
-
Exactly this. So far (not tried to EDC it) so good.

Semi-OT but for whatever reason, this message is the last one I got email notifications about. I had to visit this threat and re-subscribe for email notifications. Thought it had gone rather quiet around here...

Okay so I bought this -> https://www.ebay.com/itm/Flip-PU-Leather-Magnetic-Card-Cover-For-Huawei-P20-P30-Mate-20-Lite-Pro-X-Nova-3/123548882300 I ordered one in black for the Huawei P20 Pro based on EskeRahn's website, but one that shipped to US sellers (and didn't look as maximally cheap as possible). The case arrived today, and I made the following modifications (pictures at end). It supports my use case of protecting the screen from scratches and hopefully some drop resistance, while getting out of the way for keyboard use or camera photos. Pretty, it is not, but I can n

I'm sorry to hear that, that's unfortunate. That's partly why I am too scared to use my clack out in the wild (the other is whether to venture onto LineageOS). Hopefully the Unicorn Beedle brands of the world will make a rugged case at some point. FWIW EskeRahn has a topic on here linking to his blog where a certain case can be modified to help protect the bottom. This doesn't help in your specific case, but it's a start hopefully (link -> https://eskerahn.dk/?p=3620). Hypothetical, more for discussion than action. Recommend you wait on Fxtec support -> Let's say you order t

Mine was from Clove Tech, received safely...though you can believe I was standing at the door waiting for the UPS delivery driver. The universe is conspiring against pre-orderers and my attempt at 'cheating' would be just my luck to be stolen by my first ever porch pirate.

Thanks. I did not encounter that so hopefully we haven't ordered a back-ordered item and they will arrive soon-ish. I will say, if my pre-order somehow manages to arrive before its stock assignment or tracking number (wouldn't put much past Fxtec at this low, low point of realizing stores got stock before even the IGG pre-orderers of whom I am not), it can go on eBay for the craziest bidding war this side of EskeRahn's house.
