(We can expect the e-1.18 release to be month ahead.)
Even now it might be informative to anyone who might offer any further advice to check Settings > About phone > Android version > Android Security patch level, to see if this still reflects the SPL of the phone as delivered to you.
OK for my Pixel5 (purchased in /e/-shop) not rooted. It was upgraded 30 mn ago with 1.17-t stable release (updated from 1.16 to 1.17 (1.17-t-20231109350751-stable-redfin)).
All functions seems OK except the citymapper app which is generally freezed (no map and/or functions) when I opened it (same pbm as with previous releases (1.15 & 1.16).
I still have the camera pbm (described here or there) : when I take a picture with lens1 the final picture is blurry when Iâm not in âautoâ mode. It never append when I received my phone from Murena.

Since my device wouldânt upload OTA the update, I tried to flash it with TWRP 3.6.2_9-0 that I used in the first place last year or more when i flashed the e-1.1
It made a mess !
I had to :
format the hole phone,
restore a nandroid backup made before switching to /e/
flash again the e-1.1-q-20220629200240-dev-harpia.zip
test the phone if it work normaly
restore a nandroid backup made before the upgrade (this was a clever choice)
And it is now running normal, I only lost a few bits of data because it took me nearly 3 day to find out how to do.

The upgrade went smoothly, while I had the display permanently active.
Install time 0:52 hrs.
So far most things are fine, there still is the known camera-focus issue unsolved though.
Only there is a quite poor performance on my favorite subject, the battery usage: It is - after 8 days - about 3.8 days per 100% which makes it a further decrease, as v1.15 performed with 5.7 days and v1.16 with 4,6 days.
It seems to me that Advanced Privacy is a major player in this game.
Please have a look into this and carry on with the good work.

It is indicated in the Release Notes for Teracube 2e 2020 and 2021: âFix double tap to wakeupâ.
But when I double tap the screen, the display remains black.
So, I donât see the issue solved or maybe I have not understood whatâs meant behind the sentence âFix double tap to wakeupâ.

Update seemed to go fine, but now the camera isnât working and the flashlight claims that the camera is in use. The front-facing camera works fine. Have been trying different things to get the camera working but nothing has worked. No one else has reported this from what Iâve seen so maybe I did something to break itâŚ?
EDIT: Reseated the camera module and itâs working fine now

Hi, i installed v1.17s OTA update and it works fine overall, it even seems that I have WiFi calling now (it wasnât working before).
However there is something strange : my USB-C earphones which I bought very recently and were working perfectly until then, are not working anymore since I updated eOS.
Honestly I do not know if it is related to the update but I tried them on another phone and they work fine, I also tried other earphones on my FP4 and they donât work either, so it really seems to be related to my phone and it started after the update.
What happens exactly is :
they are detected by the phone (I have a notification saying that the phone is actually trying to charge them !)
but no sound is heard through them, when I play some music the sound comes out of the phoneâs speakers.
I tried afterwards to activate the Developer options and change the default USB configuration ( I tried all the available settings) but it doesnât help.
Would anyone have an idea why this happens and how to solve it ? If not, no worries I will just wait for v1.18 and hope it resolves the issue !
Thanks a lot for help and a huge thank anyways to the /e/ team for their great job !
My feedback isnât really version specific but targets some design decisions in /e/OS. So since v1.17 is my very first release of /e/OS I am using, here are some things that bug or annoy me massively:
Accent color cannot be set in the android UI settings (in favor of /e/'s view on user experience)
Mutilation of Trebuchet (Trebuchet cannot be used because /e/ want to push their blizz launcher)
âmurenaâ marketing/branding on the boot-screen of my FP5 when /e/OS is installed (just⌠why?)
Edit 1: some text sanitizing
Add 1: I guess I am not fully part of the target market of /e/OS. For now (and what Iâve seen) itâs the only custom ROM for my device, but as soon as the device support is moving upstream to LineageOS Iâll probably switch to that.
