mangled

After having a full days use of using this configuration, I can say I'm quite pleased with the results. I had no crashes and everything works as if it was native to the device. It brings back memories of my old nokia n900. its nice being able to use the keyboard and not have to rotate screen every time. Please share your desktops as well!

Hi, I have finally figured out how to do it. However, just keep in mind I am running /e/ OS which is an OS built on top of lineage so theoretically the setup proceedures may be identical. Below are the steps that I`ve taken: -enable developer mode -in dev options enable the "force activities to be resizable" -install app rotation control -enable app and set to landscape mode -turn on screen rotation in display settings and enable rotation to only 90 degrees [if you do not have (system) screen rotation activated even though "rotation control" app is forcing it

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone here is using a particular launcher on Android to utilise a landscape mode. Is it possible and if so, what have you done to make this work? The problem I find is that some apps open only in portrait mode. Is there a way to force apps to open in landscape mode?

What is the current state of the os?

Librecam from fdroid is a pretty good camera app as well. Simple and it just works!

Make sure your cell phone provider connects to the same network bands as what the phone supports. This is important because every carrier may support 3g/4g/LTE but connect with different bands. You have to do some research on your end and when you do find the right carrier, the phone will not have these issues unless it is defective device itself.

I guess I'll be sticking with /e/ os...

I found a quick troubleshoot. Is your userdata ext4? If not you need to format it. fastboot format:ext4 userdata https://github.com/droidian-images/droidian Someone in the past had an issue with partitions as well and confirmed reflashing them in fastboot had fixed it. You will lose your data.

Have you tried to extend partition?

If you can get at least data to work, i strongly recommend using VoIP with this device. In Canada, we still have 3g available and that appears to work flawless on this device. But anything other is a write off for cellular capabilities but data will work.

I use /e/ os for about a year as daily driver and haven't had an issue. The only thing is my device only works on one particular network type to send/receive phone calls (wcdma).

Lol to the above post. There is a fix. In the sim settings, change your mobile network to another. Wcdma only appears to work great on my device. Otherwise you can consider using VoIP and can keep the default LTE setting.

Gport from BSG works pretty good. I haven't found any other ones that work as good but I will definitely try the one you recommended. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

There is already a thread posted previously in the past about this. You can locate it below:

How is Sailfish os on this phone? Does everything work OK? Camera/video recording work? Can you run waydroid on it?

Hey a new distro is out for this phone. Looks like a fork of lineage with desktop convergence and Linux os options coming forked from Droidian. https://lmo.framer.website/

There's an app called Droidvnc found on fdroid that allows you to create a server from your device. droidVNC-NG https://f-droid.org/packages/net.christianbeier.droidvnc_ng I have not tried it yet but it looks promising.

How usable is this os?

Hi how is this os today?

Is there a way to pick specific radio network bands? Wcdma work perfectly and I realised NR works good as well. LTE does not work and the only option available is NR/LTE/wdcma

I would like to make the switch to Droidian though the camera is a huge factor for me. Is there anyone here that can confirm if camera works. Is it possible to record video? If not through the OS, can you record or use camera through waydroid?

Hey, Pro1 has been there for a while now. But yes its great to see both devices supported officially.

Hi, Pro1x is now supported. Check link below https://doc.e.foundation/devices/pro1x

https://droidian.org/blog/state-of-droidian-week-36-2023/ Latest developments in Droidian includes fixes to the camera stack. Has anyone been able to record video on pro1x?

I did have issues with data and voice with LTE band as well but with the current settings I chose, it works flawless for both data and voice but I am limited to data speed H+. WiFi has never been an issue for me. It could vary maybe on each phone, maybe they are all built slightly differently and of course carriers use different bands.
