Thanks for the details !
What about using the sd-card for storing the separate partition ? Or even directly booting on it ?
Could that be possible/easy/fast to do ?
It would have the main advantage to be more difficult to brick the device if you only need to take out the sd-card and reflash it in case of mishap. But it has probably also a lot of drawbacks I can't think of right now.

I can confirm for bootloader, instead of "unlockable", it's "unlocked" with factory state, so there is no need to manually unlock it. In theory you don't even need to boot into Android, just press vol - and power key to get to bootloader and do whatever you like.

Do they have option (API) also of checking if bootloader is locked?
I assume they may only check if the device it is rooted - am I wrong?

There are ways around this, the one I think is most relevant for a stock Pro1 is the modified kernel mentioned in this post. I don't know enough about it to know if that's actually applicable though. The other methods mentioned seem less like something a phone supplier would do, like using Magisk.

I think that reddit post was not 100% correct. I think that maybe it's more to do with an altered bootloader state compared to when the device was certified/shipped. Which would mean in the Pro1's case, safetynet would trigger if you somehow locked the bootloader. This is getting too confusing for me.

Maemo Leste would be dank AF on the Pro1, especially if they port or reverse engineer osso-notes!
And ya, would love Leste on Pro1. Hope everybody keeps buying my eBay stuff so I can get one someday.
