: Touch sensitivity/swiping on the keyboard is not working.
Before discussing custom ROMs, let's acknowledge the problem. The KEY2 (models BBF100-1, BBF100-2, BBF100-6) is a security time bomb on stock firmware. Apps like banking clients and corporate MDM software are beginning to refuse service on Android 8.1. LineageOS offers a path to Android 12 or 13, modernizing the device’s software core.
: In early 2025, developers announced that the KEY2 and KEY2 LE bootloaders were officially unlocked via a software-based exploit, requiring no hardware modifications. Tethered vs. Untethered
However, "unofficial" does not mean "impossible."
But it also kills the soul of the BlackBerry. If you want a secure keyboard phone, this is a viable path. If you want a BlackBerry , stick with stock Android 8.1 on airplane mode for nostalgia, or finally move to a modern device.
