From arrowOs thread:

I will uploaded the usb mtp driver to my google now.

For USB file transfer: Download the driver on my google drive, restart computer, smash the F8 key before windows loads, choose advanced startup, choose Disable Driver Signature Enforcement, right click start menu, go to device manager, right click on the device with warning mark (Pixel C), install driver by pointing to the file I provided.

For fastboot: Install adb/fastboot drivers. This one is easy: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vers-15-seconds-adb-installer-v1-4-3.2588979/ (Check on the last pages of the thread)

First time changing to fastboot mode you need right click start menu, go to device manager, while the pixel is in fastboot click on the device with warning mark, right click, choose driver, choose driver from list, select fastboot/bootloader. After this windows will always switch between adb/fastboot correctly.

Hi!
USB file transfer doesn't seem to work for me. Tried different ports or different cables. Has anyone tested it?
Mine hasn't worked for years now. I gave up and have to download everything to the tablet.
But for me it was working well in previous versions.
Are you referring to adb command(s) like adb push or connecting using a file manager (MTP connection) to copy files between the device and computer?
MTP is currently broken in TWRP for dragon..

Are you using Linux, MacOS or Windows to connect?
MacOS needs a third-party app to connect via MTP.
- Unless they updated something recently, I haven't booted up MacOS in about two years.


Cheers. :cowboy:

I have windows 11 and adb commands work when I get the tablet recognized, just no file transfer either when the tablet is plugged in or when I am in TWRP and its plugged in. It just errors out the device driver every time. Fastboot it recognizes if I go manually select the driver after plugging it in.

First, thanks a lot for bringing new life into this old tablet!
When using the physical keyboard with Norwegian layout I'm missing the letter Å. The rest of the special Norwegian characters are present, but the \ is where the letter Å should be. Using enhanced ASCII code doesn't work either. Does anybody know of a fix or work around? I could have the software keyboard on the screen while typing, but it takes up a lot of screen space. Any suggestions are highly appreciated!

Edit: I'm on the latest LineageOS build downloaded from the first post in this thread. The letter Å is supposed to be where the + and = is located.

Edit 2:
Seems like the Swedish and Danish keyboard setup has the same bug.

Quoting myself as I found a sokution to the problem.
I had to find the specific key layout file for the Pixel C keyboard, as editing the Generic.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout/ did not work. The Pixel C keyboard file is named Vendor_18d1_Product_5018.kl. I changed th EQUALS key to Å and chose Norwegian as keyboard language. The only thing missing now is the apostrophe key, still trying to figure that out.

I made a Lineage 20 test build for for anyone who would like to try. It's based on my A13 device tree with all optimizations included.

Clean flash is advised. Give the system some time to settle and do it's background tasks during setup. Do a reboot after everything is set up and enjoy a smooth Android 13.

I noticed that the boot animation seems frozen when system is loaded but give it some time, its just loading the UI.

Seems pretty smooth so far.
Will take me time to bring it back to a state where I can share more though...
I wiped the device since I was on your build of ArrowOS before.

One thing which I noticed almost immediately is that although the cameras still don't work - the camera app doesn't crash :)

Reworking the device tree was priority. Camera's are connected to the system again and are detected. Need some frameworks hacks.
