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,

166

I didnā€™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

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 youā€™ll find good ideas like Lawnchair, Librechair, OpenLauncher, ā€¦

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, LastLauncherā€¦ they all dont really work for me.

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

I donā€™t know the launchers you have tried so far, so no idea if your problems with them apply here, too, but I like the default Lineage OS launcher called trebuchet.

175

Cheers, sadly I couldnt find Trebuchet in either FDroid or the native Appstore

176

Itā€™s a part of LineageOS, they donā€™t upload all their own Apps to the stores.
Trebuchet is here ā€¦ https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-lineageos-15-trebuchet-laucher-rom-t3667436.

Iā€™m quite happy with Lawnchair ā€¦ might not be maintained anymore for F-Droid, but does the job and is very customisable.

177

Cheers!

Ive grown quite fond of lawnchair within the last 24hoursā€¦its kinda sad, that there is no decent, active launcher. I checked librechair, but havnt gotten past this weird telegram channel, where youd download the apk. That does not really seem trustworthy, nor professionalā€¦

178

Do you count Lawnchair among the decent?
Anyway, they are active, just not via F-Droid anymore ā€¦ https://lawnchair.app/

179

I installed /e/ on a FairPhone, this is really great. Many thanks!!
