Congratulation!
Does encryption work?
Thanks for your answer.

In the beta testing the phone was encrypted by default.

Yes, phone is encrypted. Wifi Calling/VoLTE seems also to be working. You can even set a preference of Wifi or Mobile.
I am having however issues regarding Voice calls in Signal, Wire, etc. They ask for the right to capture the microphone, but neither can actually record anything. Does not matter if handsfree or not. Regular voice calls work fine.

Same for me. The problem with the microphone also happend during videocalls with Jitsi Meet and Riot.
Btw: Installation worked perfect! Thank you guys :+1:
Any plans to publish /e/ without microG in the near future? And/or the option to delete system-apps easily?

Hi,
I installed /e/ yesterday on FP3, the phone works fine. Today I installed Whatsapp, and during the video call the speaker is not working. Otherwise it works very well! I reported here:

Does the camera work without crashing? Pictures good quality,

I didn’t experience a camera crash.

The Fairphone forum has a picture gallery (of course pictures up to now were taken not with /e/):

Many people have reported that the Google Camera App improves quality in bad lighting situations

Thanks, i would be interested in some /e/OS FP3 pictures.

OpenCamera crashes in all non-Std modes. The Pixel Camera port works also with /e/ (in all modes)

I can confirm the videochat related issues #1220 and #1222. Hope thats gonna be fixed soon. Usually dont rely on videochat, but nowadays it is kinda important.

Can anyone recommend a (if possible FOSS) alternative Launcher? I know they said, if the IPhone style doesnt suit me, its not for me, but I didnt want to let this get in the way. And I couldn really alternate a the Widgetscreen, the default widgets are kinda useless to me.

Use launcher as a search keyword in this forum and you’ll find good ideas like Lawnchair, Librechair, OpenLauncher, …

Yeah, but for some reasons the most mature I tried are not really satisfying. E.g. the concept of the KISS launcher does not work for me, OpenLauncher has (for me) major issues (rearranged items and overlaying widgets on its own). I also tried Zim, SlimLauncher, LastLauncher… they all dont really work for me.

But thanks, I will have a crack hat Lawnchair and Librechair.
