No issue, everything OK so far.
Good job e-os team
But for my kekab daily device it’s not the same story, I try a manual update with adb sideload!
It was not a good idea…
I just download the e-os-T-1.19.1 release, verify the MD5 hash code, and flash the new release with adb sideload.
After rebooting from recovery to system, I am still in 1.18 version but it seems some apps have been updated. For example, Magic Earth is released to 7.1.23.49. More than that, apps which use location data don’t works in fake location mode.
In conclusion a bunch of discrepancies, I’m afraid of reinstalling the whole stuff (fresh install).
Today, my recomandation to kebab owners, is to wait for a fix before switching to 1.19.1 release.

Is the device Rooted / Not rooted : I don't know, it's stupid anyway. And I haven't found a reliable article to verify it. Given what I do on it, it must be rooted.
Thank you for all the sharing, it’s been very helpful.
I wanted to follow an old article to sideload the FP3, but the page no longer exists (here (not function of course)). It’s a good thing I wrote it all down in my documentation. There’s nothing in the docs and it took me at least 45 minutes to find the page with the info on FP3.
I had exactly the same problem as @urs_lesse (here) on the signature part of the .zip file. It’s due to a lack of knowledge on my part.
Apart from that, I only have one problem and the update was installed in less than 10 minutes.
The problem was that VLC was no longer reading my SD card. I uninstalled the application and reinstalled it. Since then, VLC has been reading my SD card just fine, with no problems.
And I’ve enlarged the display font by one notch. It was written slightly smaller
Here’s what I did:
First, add adb and fastboot. Follow the instructions here.
Find the right file here, thanks you @AnotherElk . It’s in JSON format, my file is on line 28.
Then activate the developer tools, plug the phone into USB: activate USB debugging (authorised by the PC) & unlock the OEM (see the start of the procedure here). At the end of the procedure, disable everything by doing the reverse.
Make sure you back up all your applications, photos, videos, OTP, etc.
Run the adb commands from the downloaded folder (I’m running Linux, Debian 12):
./adb reboot sideload (the phone reboots and goes into sideload mode)
The phone reboots. Unplug everything and check that it works.
Keep the procedure in documentation if you wish, but above all share it here :).
The question I ask myself. Now that I’ve changed the way I upgrade, will I receive updates normally or should I always use sideload for updates and upgrades?

Hello.
Update over OTA V1.19.1-s-20240109372023-stable-FP4 from 09.01.2024
I have one issues:
The calendar app crashes during the “search” and then has to be restarted. Like in V1.18-s
After the OTA update to V1.19.1-s-20240109372023-stable-FP4 check the updater again and from time to time i can see a new version update to V1.19.1-s-20240110372023-stable-FP4 from 10.01.2024.

Seems to work well.
What still is broken is the sophisticated function of the square button. Open an app and then press the middle (home) button - the app disappears from screen but remains running in background. How can I get it back now? Before 1.17 (?) this was a function on the square button, you got a scrollable horizontal list of the running apps and you could either close them one by one or get another one into foreground. Currently you don’t get this anymore, at last it’s not reliable. Instead is the home screen (the window of the launcher) now in that list - why??? Can I close it? No. Can I switch to it? No. It’s a cuckoo’s egg in that list.
OK for my Pixel5 (purchased in /e/-shop) not rooted. It was upgraded with 1.19.1-t stable release (updated from 1.18 to 1.19.1 (1.19.1-t-20240109372021-stable-redfin) - e_redfin-user 13 TQ3A.230901.001 eng.root.20240109.185942 dev-keys).
As for previous releases, all functions seems to be OK except the #citymapper app which is generally freezed (no map and/or functions) when I opened it (same pbm as with previous releases from 1.15).
The camera pbm (described here or there ) is still here : when I take a picture with lens1 the final picture is blurry when I’m not in “auto” mode. It never append when I received my phone from Murena.
I don’t think we need to report it further, as you can find the link via @Manoj’s post (see bold text below) and we only speak about a broken link via the updater .

My previous phone running 1.19 beta t the Google Pixel 4a5g the mail was not working, in this phone it is.
But I think that is related January 18 2023 service announcement. Either way the Pixel 7 is operation normally with email now working.

I shared the comment with the team to correct.
