Slion 1,200 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Do we know if and when Android 10 will come to Pro1? Coming from Huawei P30 Pro I'm notably missing the swipe from the edge to go back feature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,427 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 We know "if", as they said so. But not "when". I think it is @netman that already did a port by himself, and it only had minor issues, so I expect it wont be long after the rush with the pre-orders . but just guessing. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did not do a port, I installed a GSI which you can easily download. Because of googles Project Treble thing and the pro1 stock rom being fairly compatible with it, as long as you have their vendor and boot image, other versions of android mostly work by just flashing the system image. At the time I installed it I wasn't aware there are instructions for it but it was reasonable straightforward and went without a hiccup 🙂, if you want to try it I recommend following this guide though https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/F(x)tec-Pro1 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdm 2,322 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I don't recall anyone mentioning when or whether stock will be upgraded to Q. Has anyone official chimed in on this? Lineage is getting close to releasing Q (which will be 17.1). By the time that happens, I should have Lineage running well and updating should hopefully be pretty easy. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingAntero 869 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) F(x)tec confirmed during IFA that Pro1 will be updated to Android 10. I think that it was also mentioned on Twitter also. https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/fx-tec-pro-1 "FX Tec has done very little with the software here, instead sticking to a very clean version of Android 9 Pie (with Android 10 coming later)." https://www.mobiflip.de/fxtec-pro1-android-smartphone-mit-hardwaretastatur-im-hands-on/ Translated: "F(x)tec is still covered when it comes to upgrading to Android 10. They are in contact with Qualcomm." This was initial promise but they confirmed that they are working on Android 10 update. On 7/11/2019 at 5:14 PM, Waxberry said: We are committed to bring Android security update under 90 days, as Android One devices. For future update, such as Android Q: We are committed to bring the update whatever we can. However, the actual update will also depend on Qualcomm / Google's support on the chipset. We hope we can get the support we needed to be able to work on for the next update. We will do our best to get it. (P.S: There is also Plan B for getting future update) Edited January 25, 2020 by FlyingAntero 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,200 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Please FxTec get this done for me sooner than later as I keep trying to swipe from the edge to go back instead of fishing for the back button in the bottom left corner 😁 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The latest versions of both are regularly updated at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ey6g1N1ORYZ34oRXLYsF4zCCL6_KGRCi These patched images include several important fixes for improved Treble compatibility, including a refined key character map, better keyboard slide behavior, and a working keyboard backlight. The latest boot.img also includes the new keyboard driver from @netman and a fix for the swapped stereo channels on the built-in speakers. Please read the 'changelog.md' file for full information about the patched images. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm afraid I won't be trying out your images until I get myself a second Pro1 and that will only happen if they ever release an azerty layout, it could be a while. I'm planning to use Pro1 for production tasks so it needs to remain in proper working order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
__fastcall 97 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Hey, can we expect Android 10 and 11 on our phones, or will we have to use custom firmware for that? Does the phone have some kind of custom drivers we need to port, or is everything just "stock"? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Translation, read it as "fumble to get to", as obviously a swipe is easier. I'm not a big fan of the gesture thing myself though.

Slion 1,200 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 I was not a big fan of gesture navigation either until I got myself that awesome Huawei P30 Pro last year. I'm now a gesture convert. You don't have a navigation bar anymore so more screen real estate. Swipe from the edge to go back has the advantage to be accessible from anywhere along either of the screen's edge enabling one handed operations of larger devices. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did not use it long enough to really judge this, but it seemed fine, as in it didn't seem to go down faster than stock. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
