I would only add that instead of requesting changes in the OS to accommodate older apps, it is much better to use updated apps. Unmaintained apps can be a security risk. I know that is not always desirable or even possible, but it will surely be the official position of both Lineage and Google for this issue. Too bad, I really despise the way Google slowly turns Android into iOS @tdm Is vold prone to (frequent) important changes? I am thinking of compiling vold with a modified PublicVolume.cpp and replacing the binary with a Magisk module (like vold-posix).and Also: Thank you very much for providing LOS.

claude0001 1,271 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Hello community! First of all: Many thanks (mostly to @tdm I guess) for providing LOS -- I think it is the most useful and polished OS for the Pro1 by quite some margin. After trying, both, Stock and SFOS, I have used LOS exclusively on my device almost since day 1. My (small) problem: Even though this is supposed to be fixed, it still happens to me that the keyboard backlight switches off, and can be re-enabled only by sliding the keyboard in- and out. I notice this mostly when using Microsoft's "Remote Desktop 8" app (although I do not think the issue is related to the app). I use RDP to connect to a chrooted Debian Linux on the device. If I leave the device idle (usually while connected to USB power), *sometimes* the keyboard backlight switches off after a while, and does not re-enable on the next key-press (as I would expect), even though the environment is quite dark (so that typing without backlight is difficult). I would love to provide more detailed debugging information, but unfortunately the problem is not straightforward to reproduce. Understanding the logics of the backlighting would help: is it true that the backlight should switch on (if it isn't already) when a key is pressed and the ambient lighting is dim? If yes then I surely encounter a bug here. Edited October 7, 2020 by claude0001 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The ROM works better than the original Pro1 Android I just received mine today and after using LOS on my Droid 4 for many years, I was shocked, dismayed, and disgusted to find that Google was in every corner of my new device! I came here to find the solution, and haven't been disappointed. LOS on P1 coming soon to a desk near me. :) 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raymo 171 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I'm curious, I notice that internet (switching between wifi/4g) works perfect, also wifi has more connectivity power (it wasn't the case 1 month early). Could it be a link with LOS updates ? Anyway, I'm more and more pleased with this keyboarded piece of hardware 😄 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silversolver 849 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 So I'm now using the klack with LOS to post this. I have not activated it yet since I can't make any major changes to my routine yet and Verizonk is a butthole. I've pretty much decided to use my D4 until it Zonk kills it because I hate change and am still learning klack ergonomics. I have found some things about the hardware that I wish were different, but nothing that I can't accommodate. This is not the place to discuss that. I have not found any deficiencies in the software, although so far I'm only using it as a UMPC. I do wonder if the updater works, or is just an unused feature at this point.

The updater works but is very slow. I can vouch on the slow part. I bailed on my only attempt to do it because it was taking so long even though it was a background process and I could still use it. I prefer the speed and (for me) simplicity of downloading the nightly and doing an adb sideload from my computer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just make sure you reboot to recovery after sideloading the new nightly so that you switch the slot it was actually installed to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I don't it goes in the inactive slot, but if I do it goes to the active one, or both? I'm cornfused. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But then you use the advanced menu in Lineage Recovery to Reboot to recovery. That switches to and makes active the slot where the update was installed. The clearest instructions are @tdms. They were written for the test versions, but they work fine for the official nightlys. http://files.nwwn.com/android/pro1/lineage.html 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

[url=https://postimages.org/][img]https://i.postimg.cc/Wp0vgWcx/Untitled.png[/img][/url] It rebooted to a screen with Lineage logo and RECOVERY at the top. In red it says: "Can't load Android system. Your data may continue to get this message, you may ne factory data reset and erase all user da device" [the above makes no sense as I assume the message is too wide ot fit on the screen] I have the option to "Try again" or "Factory data reset" Is there a way back from this mess I have made?
