Now I have had some more experience with the Gcam port and I have noticed some more annoyances. For example the framerate options don't do anything. Even if I set the framerate to 60 the recorded videos are 30 frames per second. Also slow motion option records normal video. A port made specifically for Pro1 would probably fix these. However, I have not heard that anyone would be working on this. It is a pity because the sensor appears to be high quality and optics decent but the image processing of default Snapdragon camera is horrific and Gcam is lacking features.

The video quality of GCam is superior compared to Snapdragon camera, especially in low light.

I did that. They made excuses and said that the management should decide. You put me off again. The deadline they set has now been passed for a week.
I had cancelled my order long before the Corona crisis due to the desolate communication strategy. I am very disappointed. I congratulate all those who were lucky enough to receive the device. But I would not expect too much service.

There should be something like a counter for community members who already have there FXtec pros. I'd guess it at about a dozen right now? Still lots of pre-orders not shipped, I'm guessing?

I feel like that could be done with a poll at the start of this thread.

Is there any way to limit the available screen rotations?

Like every SFOS device I've had, the rotation options from the UI are horizontal, vertical or auto.

Very minor problem is the grand scheme, but one minor annoyance I've had with the Pro1 is there isn't much in the way of visual cues of the physical orientation when picking it up. A number of times I've answered the phone, only to find I'm holding it upside down. Obviously I could turn of rotation, but that makes using the keyboard a bit of a faff.

If it were possible to limit available rotations to 0deg and 90deg, it might be a useful hack. Alternatively turn off the rotation, except when the keyboard is open? In fact, that might be a better option for me.

There is a patch that allows screen rotation except upside-down portrait:

Would that be any good?

Thanks for that Pichlo, I had missed that one.

It works sometimes, but it seems easy to catch it out.
I was imagining there would be some simple rotation script somewhere on the device that could be hacked about.

It seems that even being locked up at home, I haven't found the time to dig into the inner workings of the SFOS UI. Must try harder :-)

Yes!

I'd also like to know if anyone has succesfully canceled their order and received their money back. I've been waiting for 1,5 months for now... (Not to say I don't support this endeavour but this corona-stuff kind of changed my financial situation)
