Since TWRP is already installed on your FP3, the /e/ OS build can also be installed via the microSD card … without ADB and fastboot. Then you just have to be accredited as a selected tester.
I already had installed version r29, but for some reason I repeatedly get the error message “unknown command” (not for all commands, just particular ones). Which doesn’t happen on the Mac I use in my office; here adb works fine. On this machine, I rooted my FP3 and installed TWRP.
Okay, if adb isn’t needed to install /e/ OS, even better! I look forward to the things coming up…
Oh, just noticed: Nice to see @pigpig around here! Great!
Hi,
I’m also currently trying to port LineageOS 16 for FP3. As /e/ is based on LOS, I’d be interested if you’re working on the same or you are focus on GSI?
However here is my repo. Maybe we could work together on that.
BR,
Max
How when the /e/ OS being downloaded? Has i do i manuelt or will fairphone rolling a update of choice? I am not so avandce to installing stuff on phones, but i am very tired of google.
and another thing is, will there be Handelsbanken, Betalingsservice, Blur, Airwallet, mobilpay and E-Boks.dk apps?
Hi @Violet_lilly the initial /e/OS build for the FP3 will have to be download from the /e/ servers. We will share the location with the testing team once we are ready.
Post that the build will have to be manually flashed on the FP3.
If you have previously flashed the build it will be easier to install the FP3 build as well.
Once the testing is complete we will come out with the official build which again users will have to manually flash the first time and then subsequent builds will be available OTA.
We have started a project to translate the /e/ OS as default apps into various languages. You can check the details here. Languages will be added if there is a demand for it and off course if translators are available.
Thanks to all those who have volunteered to help with the beta testing of the FP3. I have added the details of users who sent it as requested here.
We are still a few days away from the actual testing starting. I will announce the start on this thread.
Have to say this …the support and enthusiasm of the Fairphone users is amazing !
Every time a request goes out for volunteers to test FairPhone models I am deluged by requests!!
Thanks !!!
Update: As mentioned above I have already received details from about a dozen volunteer testers for the FP3. If you still want to send in your details you are welcome.
In some cases I may not have written back to some of you to confirm that I have your details.
All the same please note I am collecting the details you have shared and will be announcing the start of the testing here on this thread. Expect it to happen soon.
Again thanks for offering to help with the testing efforts.
Right now the priority is to get the FP3 ported. We also usually work with non rooted phones. You can try rooting once you get the /e/ ROM on your FP3.
