#pro1x — Public Fediverse posts

just sent my v2 patches for #fxtec #pro1x mainline linux support yesterday

F(x)tec Pro¹ X finally arrived. It was sitting in a warehouse for ages, but thankfully the battery was not dead and it powered up. Shipped with Android, but in about 10 minutes work with the UBports installer, had Ubuntu Touch up and running. Yay!

Yes the slide-out keyboard is a bit fiddly, but it seems worth a try and is no worse than a miniature on-screen keyboard.

UB usually takes a few days to get configured right. Updates to follow

haha yes usb now works again on #fxtec #pro1x

For anyone after a #Psion Agenda-like experience on a #MobileLinux #PDA, I've just released v0.2.9 of #Pygenda (alpha, WIP!).

GitHub: https://github.com/semiprime/pygenda

v0.2.9 adds two nice new features: repeats like "last Monday in May" and todo item due dates.

I run it on my #GeminiPDA, but it's written in Python/GTK3 so should run on similar keyboard devices. Would love to hear from anyone running it on a #PinePhone, #FXTec #Pro1x, #GPD, #eeePC, #Zaurus, or other!

I've released a new version of #Pygenda, my work-in-progress Psion Agenda-inspired agenda app targeting keyboard #PDA/ #palmtop devices.

I use it on my Linux-running #GeminiPDA, & someone ran it on a #DevTerm, but it should work on anything with Python3.5+ & GTK3 (for handhelds that probably means Linux). I'd love feedback from anyone running it on other platforms (#PinePhone, #Fxtec #Pro1x, #GPD), and from other fans of #Psion Agenda.

@flypig right now waiting on the #fxtec #pro1x to arrive. But it won't be a daily driver phone cause the lack of lte working in the US. Had a sony xperia 10 running it until AT&T stopped it last year.

XDA should be embarrassed to have their logo on the #fxtec #pro1x

Now, I fund the Pro1 X from F(x)tec team. It's linux smart phone and it can run ubports. I wait it. https://igg.me/at/pro1x/x/28073336#/ #pro1x #Fxtec #ubports

Stumbled upon this today: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3292-pro1-and-pro1-x-design-change-to-use-snapdragon-662-no-new-devices-before-august-2021/page/2/

While the switch to the Snapdragon 662 is unlikely to negatively impact LineageOS and Ubuntu Touch (I hope), it‘s likely a major bummer for the mainline Linux story, which was looking quite good with the 835. #fxtec #pro1x
