Easy Installer for FP4

Don’t know if it’s already here, but want to ask anyway. Is Fairphone 4 getting an easy installer thing? While I could do it the “hard way,” I’d rather not. I’m already neck deep in things I should do, and don’t want to add this to it also.

Development on the EasyInstaller is a community effort…users with development skills are always welcome to contribute. To the best of my knowledge, there are no active development initiatives on this as yet.

I personally think that one of the biggest barriers to usage is the relatively complex installation procedure (unless you buy a pre-installed phone).

I’ve been searching the community for more conversation on this…as I think there’s a significant need for the install to be 100x easier.

Hello,

is it true that Easy Installer will support FP4 in the end of this month (june 2022) ? There is no possibility to have it earlier.

Thanks.

Where did you find this information?

Well, latest status can be found here…:

It was mentioned in the Q&A section of the 1.0 launch event, I think, but I’m too lazy busy to look for the time index right now.

Will we be able to use the Easy Installer to upgrade to Android 12 in the future?

Hello everyone,

@ff2u changed title from Added support for FP4 to Added support for FP4, finished and tested for Linux and Windows

Does someone have some news ? It seems that FP4 integration is finished ?!

Do you try the easy installer ?

Yes but the FP4 was supposed to be available with the easy installer on June. I guess it’s not for the moment…

So is not. I ask them few days ago and FP4 is still not available with easy installer, maybe soon I hope :wink:

Yeah hope so :blush:
Do you know where’s the pb ?

Hope too but no idk why its take long time because in the same time it’s now possible to install Ubuntu Touch on the FP4 with the ubports-installer :confused:

As you can find in the gitlab page you’d linked the problem is that the changes have never been merged.

Have we somes informations about the easy installer for the FP4 ?

I’m also waiting for the easy installer for the FP4, having bought one direct from Fairphone with free earbuds before I found out that Murena will supply it with e already installed. My e-based Galaxy 7 is getting a bit tired now.

If there is no prospect of an easy installer for the FP4 maybe Murena would consider providing a chargeable service for loading e on the FP4? Like some others I don’t feel confident trying to load e the ‘hard way’.

Maybe you’ve a Fairphone Angel near you who could help with the /e/OS installation on your FP4?

I come back to /e/OS and I followed this tuto : Install /e/OS on a Fairphone FP4 - “FP4”. It’s really, really, really easy to install /e/OS on Fairphone 4 :wink:
