Hook 2,655 Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 13 hours ago, david said: I apologize if this has been mentioned in this topic, but is there any documentation showing bugs that we might see in the Pro1X on Android that we won't see on the Pro1X with LineageOS? No, no documentation, but to be honest, I don't think there are many. Stock Android 11 on the Pro1x actually is pretty nice and runs very smoothly. If you add Finqwerty (particularly the corrected one Rob S made available), it's really nice keyboard experience. LOS doesn't fix many things... if you are having problems with LTE and cell signal in stock, you will probably still have them in LOS. You get some additional features, you get a great reduction in bloat if you don't use a lot of google apps, the keyboard mapping works fine without Finqwerty, and you get up-to-date Android security patches (not vendor patches). These things are worth it to me. But, no, not a lot of fixes over stock. More just additional features that give you more control. And less Google if you want that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Corrected now. 8 hours ago, david said: I know it is a keyboard mapper, but what are you remapping that isn't set up how you like it with the defaults? Less dependence of the FN key for normal use, adds some number of third layer characters depending of which keymap you use. The term "Keyboard mapper" implies that Finqwerty is doing something actively. It isn't. It merely supplies additional key maps that it makes visible to Android. https://android.onse.fi/finqwerty/#pro1x 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim6263 134 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 On keyboards, the one key that doesn't work properly on my Pro1x is the semi-colon. Also, there doesn't seem to be any way of typing a GBP sterling symbol. Do I need FinQuerty or equivalent for this pls.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure why your semicolon doesn't work. What layout do you have selected under settings->System->Languages & input->Physical keyboardBuiltin Keyboard? I have 2 layouts selected that I can switch between using Fn-space bar: "F(x)Tec Qwerty" and "English (US)" Semi-colon works fine on both. "F(x)Tec Qwerty" gives you the keyboard map that matches the physical prints on the keyboard. With "English (US)" the layout changes so that I have few alterations that don't match the physical prints in a very few cases: "/-|" becomes "/-?"; "?-:" becomes ";-:" and Fn-L is now "|" I'm embarrassed to say I have no idea exactly how I accomplished these changes. Maybe the layout comes that way, but I wouldn't think so. I must have done something, but I forget what. lol. I would guess you might need either "English (UK)" or "English (US) International Style" to get GBP. Stumped by the non-working semicolon on Lineage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, there doesn't seem to be any way of typing a GBP sterling symbol. Do I need FinQuerty or equivalent for this pls.? For a QWERTY Pro1x using the "F(x)tec QWERTY" keyboard layout (the default), you can type a semicolon by pressing both the 'L' key and one of the diagonal yellow arrow keys (Fn) at the same time. As Hook mentioned, this changes if you use any other keyboard layout, such as "English (US), International style" or "English (UK)". The UK Sterling character (Unicode code point U+00A3 = '£') is available in the "English (UK)" keyboard layout via the key combination Shift + 3. Unfortunately this keyboard layout does not include the all of the key combinations F(x)tec printed in yellow on the keyboard, but you can quickly switch key layouts with Meta ('F logo') + spacebar. Android will display a toast notification with the name of the active keyboard layout when you switch layouts. U+00A3 ('£') is in many of the other language-specific keyboard layouts as well, but many require a combination of keys including AltGr. If you prefer to use one of these, you can map the right-hand diagonal yellow arrow key to AltGr in Settings->System->Languages & input->Physical keyboard->Advanced settings->Right FN key sends AltGr Merging everything you want into a single bespoke keyboard layout is also possible, but difficult. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It can only use a Miracast cable like the one linked below and a Chinese app. It has been noted by someone in Discord that you can deny the Chinese app all permissions and it still works. 🙂 I have not obtained the cable or tried this-- not a use case I need. https://www.amazon.com/Android-Mirroring-Charging-Smartphones-Projector/dp/B08LN8Z6QX or https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801266552716.html 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hook 2,655 Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 The app won't work with any other cable... it's as far as I understand a mirroring app that works only with specifically Miracast compatible cables. I assume it's one of the Miracast apps in the play store, but there are several and I don't know which one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hook 2,655 Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Lineage-20.0-20230824-nightly-pro1x with Aug 5th security patch installed smoothly via ADB sideload. Indeed I got the PTMBAN* reported in the Pro 1 Lineage 20 thread. I also flashed via adb sideload the newer MindTheGapps set dated 20230808, plus I reflashed Magisk, That last step may have been unnecessary, but it also didn't hurt, but I didn't have to reopen the Magisk Manager app and just had root as soon as I booted. * The Prompt That Must Be Answered No. This was reported by @EskeRahn in the Pro 1 Lineage 20 thread. When you adb sideload Lineage now, it reminds you need to reboot into recovery and offers to do it for you. Apparently, you need to answer no and do it yourself. I didn't test answering yes, I just took Eske's word for it. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will try to remember to answer Yes on Monday for the Pro1, and see if they implemented a fix. If you run each command individually on the pc it might work, ignoring any message on the pc that the flashing did not end correctly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hook 2,655 Posted Friday at 04:45 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 04:45 AM I think I missed a week. Lol. Lineage-20.0-20230921-nightly-pro1x with Sep 5th security patch installed smoothly via OTA. MindTheGapps13, and root was maintained. Curiously, there were 2 updates, one on the 20th (a day early) and one on the 21st. I installed the one for the 21st, figuring something must have been buggy with the first one or else why release an immediate update, but I don't actually know. Everything is working smoothly.
