Used the appropriate sideloadable firmware flasher zip from Wishmasterflo (https://github.com/Wishmasterflo/Firmware_flasher) to get the firmware right and performed a âdirtyâ system upgrade (via sideload too):
Everything stayed in place and works as before!
So this was really a straight and easy upgrade âŚ
PS
I forgot to mention that the upgraded system is still equipped with microG Services Core v0.2.27.223616 because of the problems reported with https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/7064 (which - as usual - hasnât been touched by the team so far âŚ).
Maybe that the new v0.2.28.233013 behaves better with respect to this, but as long as the microG team itself still considers v0.2.27.223616 to be the stable version I will also still stick with it âŚ
Using easy-installer gives you also a âstableâ build.
Difference between them is ârooted debuggingâ on âdevâ as far as I know. On âstableâ they also try to pass SafetyNet which for some appâs is necessary.

Thanks @mihi.
Is there somewhere some documentation that explains in details whatâs in and whatâs not in dev builds compared to stable ones, and also implications on the update process, OTA updates, OS upgrades, ⌠etc ?
Version of /e/OS which existed previously: eOS 1.15-rc.2
Not rooted
Installing the rc went smoothly, two days later I installed 1.15-s-20230913330639-stable-FP3 and it took some nine hours to complete the installation process.
Since then it is running fine with an average duration of 5.5 days.
Thanks for the good work.

My device has relocked bootloader
My device is Not rooted
Against my habit I used the /e/ Easy Installer for flashing. It still installs Android âRâ e-1.13-r-20230724313393-stable-emerald.
However, the subsequent OTA update offers an upgrade to Android âSâ e-1.15-s-20230913330639-stable-emerald. The bootloader is re-locked as before.

Notes
Had skipped v1.14 due to FP4 issues reported with bluetooth headphones, can now confirm bluetooth headphones are working fine with v1.15 and aptX HD audio enabled or disabled
Installed for 2 days now
Issues
[SOLVED] Initially had issues with display touch sensitivity directly after update: multi-touch (e.g. zoom in gallery app did not work anymore) and screen was sometimes less responsive to touch (e.g. I had to touch several times until something actually gets tapped), was not the case with v1.13, possibly same as here, no high battery drain in my case, issue is GONE with first battery charge after update to v1.15 and didnât return since then
[UNSOLVED] Issue with OpenCamera focusing, same as reported here: âcamera focus works fine though the rectangle appears red after tapping for focus on a certain area. Taking a picture results in a fine sharp photo.â With v1.13 focusing was fine and mostly showed a green rectangle when with v1.15 there is now mostly a red one
Happens to me frequently with the app lounge, better said is constantly fast permanently.
That, really boring.
If I search an app then it may block the searching with the keyword when it appearsâŚ

No issue with updating and now in version 1.15-s-20230913330639-stable-FP4
Everything seemed to have updated well OTA, patching boot (newest Magisk) before reboot was fine.
Thanks you and to the whole e team for all this cool work in that project !
After installing the latest update last week, the fingerprint sensor stopped working on my Murena GS290 phone too. It doesnât respond to touch in any way.

Upgrade to 1.15 like a charm, but Camera was stuck with âSerious camera errorâ and a green screen. After flushing the cache app and a reboot, the camara app is working again but I had to do it twice.
That happens to my S7 every once in a while - especially when taking a lot of pics⌠I first experienced that behaviour with 1.13 or so - but I cannot tell whether that is really version dependent or not as it happens without recognizable pattern or systematics (in my case).
Today my GS290 updated to /e/OS 1.15 and Android 12. Everything went as before - very smoothly and without problems, I was then a little surprised with the visual changes, still have to get used to it but itâs all right and once again thanks for the good work.

The update to the latest version went flawless, by now I couldnât see any problems relating camera focus, now working aptX HD mode, fingerprint sensor, (anonymous) app lounge login or else. All works fine for me. Great

Everything seems to be working allright.
One thing I was able to resolve by myself and would like to share, as an experience to others. Since App Lounge was having timeouts (session issue) very often and I canât blacklist apps from F-Droid and that new setting to prevent updates from others sources doesnât do what I expect it to do, I tried with Aurora Store. After updating one banking app with Aurora I got a message that my devices was rooted. Long story short, I got back to App Lounge and made a new install with the same version which made the app working again. Aurora Store also had a lot off timeouts (session issue) and for a fact today I found out that App Lounge uses AuroraOSS API so, sessions are the same I guess. I will stay with App Lounge and hope I can manage manually updating everything and in the future the session issues will be fixed.
