(is it spelled whisky? I spent a friggen half hour in wikipedia to learn it doesnt really matter, just depends if scotch/canadian/irish/american and even then, only if they want to, some american bottles are labeled the other way - the main point is to avoid anything labeled bourbon, that's evil if you enjoy a touch of rye or brandy in yer whisk(e)y) Edited February 16, 2020 by Craig 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tdm 2,322 Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Regarding the slider causing the device to sleep, this is a build time configuration that, as far as I know, has no run time setting. So I guess whichever people like the most is what should be done. Personally, I find it very frustrating when the device goes to sleep on closing the slider because I frequently open the slider to type some text and then close it to go back to portrait/touch mode. Regarding wake on keypress, I've got an idea for that and it is both pretty simple and should work for all systems (including sailfish). Just track the screen state in the keyboard driver and if it's off, send KEY_WAKEUP before anything else. Regarding the keyboard backlight, I believe @Sean McCreary has a fix for that in his tree. I'll probably take that for the next build. Or at least it's a start. Regarding the crashing issues, I have not changed anything related in the kernel since test2. So whatever is causing this is likely in the vendor image. It could be either the 20191028 blobs that I'm using or it could be the things that are getting built from source. That will have to be narrowed down. By the way, I'm using the 20191028 blobs because the 20191203 build caused the screen on my device to act weird (it blinked off momentarily every few seconds). So I haven't tried to update yet. And those are the only two builds that I currently have because IdeaLTE and FxTec have not shared any later builds, and I haven't bothered to go back to stock to take any OTA updates. But yeah, none of this is done yet because I'm lazy and Lineage sucks. You should probably have me fired and go find another developer that can do a better job. I never do anything useful or good for this device. 🙄 EDIT: And also, I just spent half an hour explaining why things are the way thay are instead of fixing things. This is why developers don't really like forums. I have half a mind to just stop engaging with this thread entirely until the device is working fully.

Thanks for all the info, its good to take a break from developing and explain things from time to time. It really helps to know the state of the project. It would be nice if FxTec took more of an interest in helping make the software work, after all they were advertising it as Linaege compatible. In any case keep up the good work and don't mind the complainers. 2 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It takes a big man to admit when you were wrong. Thank you for doing so. I'm sure the people involved will forgive you. It's rather harder when the poster wasn't intoxicated and isn't sorry, which has also happened. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdm 2,322 Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 I've been actually developing on the Pro¹ today, which is a bit of a strange experience. I'm using ConnectBot to ssh into my build box, enabling adb over network, and connecting back to the device to push files and etc. Then I run "adb reboot" and *poof* the terminal goes away and the device reboots. Anyway... so I've been pulling in patches from @Sean McCreary and it looks like he's got the keyboard backlight fixed and the wake on any key fixed. So I'll probably make another build with those changes tomorrow. PS.

By my calculations, that's roughly 32 units of alcohol per bottle. Pardon the personal interjection, but I certainly hope you didn't go through the entire thing in one night. I mean, I've drank quite a bit in my day (but haven't in quite some time now) and I think that would have killed me even at my peak of drinking. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdm 2,322 Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Oh and referencing my previous post, if anyone wants to help out, can you go back to stock and take the latest ota and then post a copy of the vendor image somewhere? That would save me a couple hours of work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had to go back to stock for now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What I usually do is boot into recovery and 'dd' the vendor partition to /tmp: did if=/dev/block/by-name/vendor_a of=/tmp/vendor.img Then you can gzip it and adb pull it. In order to do that you would probably need to use TWRP since lineage recovery won't have your host adb key setup. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll pull that one and loopback it and see now that I know what to look for. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
