Feedback for v1.20

Hi dexic, i suggest having a look at the akku usage page in settings to check if an app uses unusual amounts of battery.
For my FP4 I noticed that advanced privacy consumes some more than before v1.20 but its still tolerable to me.

:thinking: Hm, why do I have no possibility to edit my own post?

Edit: Most recent v3.4.1 Auxio music player now works in dark mode again

I encountered the exact same problem as user pfuetzenkasper on my Fairphone 3+ (after swicthing from v. 1.19).

  • Vendor Name: Oneplus
  • Device name: Oneplus Nord N200
  • Device CodeName: dre
  • Previous Version of /e/OS: 1.20-t (dev)
  • Rooted: No

Only glich I noticed is gps sometimes can’t find exact location on magic maps, organic maps and google maps also. I believe this phone’s gps module not so convinient even in stock software. Other than this:

I updated the latest software with February Security Update then did clean /e OS install. Everything is working fine, I don’t even encounter lineageos problems mentioned on xda. Works perfectly, no fast battery drain, no heatup. I get 1.5-2 days battery. Speed is fine.

Thanks for your help, I was able to recently OTA update to v1.20!
No problems so far :slight_smile:

I use a Mi 11 Lite 5G with 1.19 (perfect in function)

Will 1.20 be released as an automatic update? Or do I have to install it manually?

Referring to the ROM download page of this device https://images.ecloud.global/dev/lisa/ e-1.20-t is published but it will be a manual upgrade to Android 13 (T).

(OTA upgrades only happen for stable builds.)

• Vendor Name : Motorola
• Device name : moto g32
• Device CodeName : Devon
• Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously : Stock
• Is the device Rooted / Not rooted : Not

As a first time user of /e/OS I had some trouble with the the install. After successfully unlocking and installing the recovery-image I could not flash the main part of the software with the ADB command line options. My solution, to put the zip file on a SD card and boot in the recovery → Apply update → Choose from disk. This did the trick for me.

To avoid confusion, it is advantageous to always specify the code name Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G “renoir” of the device used.

Updates and upgrades are often confused with each other. The differences are:

An “update” is an update of the existing version /e/OS-R. An “upgrade” is an update to a higher operating system version: /e/OS-T.

The /e/OS updater app does not support “upgrades” from one version of /e/OS to another, and will block installation to any update for a different version.

See more manually upgrading renoir

Technically it does, but such “OTA upgrades” will have to be meticulously prepared with a lot of development and testing effort for an individual device for an individual upgrade step.
This has been done in the past, and efforts are ongoing. Anybody interested can follow proceedings in the weekly development and testing updates … https://community.e.foundation/tag/development-updates … section currently named “OS OTA Related information”.

But … the default is indeed manual upgrading when an upgrade of the underlying Android version is needed.

As long as an OTA-Upgrade for DEV devices supported by /e/OS is not currently available, the only option is manual upgrading.

Yes, this info is included in the “OS OTA Related information” currently. And it isn’t any different on stable when an OTA upgrade is not prepared for the individual device for the individual upgrade step at hand.

Doesn’t take away from the fact that the updater App can do this in general.
Edit: The feature was introduced in week 6, 2022 with an OTA upgrade for Samsung S9/S9+ … Week 06, 2022 : Development and Testing Updates

OTA upgrades mean a comfortable user experience for e-users and usually a loss-free (personal data, apps) transition to the next /e/OS generation. The sooner it is available for all devices, the better.

By the way @AnotherElk my messages did not refer to Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE / 11 Lite NE 5G / Mi 11 LE “lisa” nor Samsung S9/S9+ but to @moeppie’s request Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G “renoir”

I got similar message and issue. But I am logged into WeChat, but it crashes directly. After a couple of crasches it goes to safe mode and (try to) repair. But crashes again directly. So far no success by eg restart, clear cashe etc. I have not reinstalled, want to avoid iy due to avoid data loss.

Won’t that mean you come under Chinese ToC, with data storage and whatever they do for surveillance, spy and whatever the Chinese version of the app do?

Updated OTA both FP3 and Terracube 2e to v1.20-s-. No issues so far :person_raising_hand:

MI A1
tissot
Updated from version: e-1.19.1-s-20240112372761-dev-tissot.zip to e-1.20-t-20240223382228-dev-tissot.zip
Not rooted

Manual update:
Load new recovery ,
did NOT factory reset, did NOT format;
Sideloaded the new OS Firmware.

After reboot, boot hangs on sign “e” with dot bellow.
Try the flash again, same results. To recover I
loaded old 1.19 recovery and sideload old e-1.19.1-s-20240112372761-dev-tissot.zip.
Phone boots fine on 1.19, all data saved. No harm done.

However upgrade to 1.20 did not succeed!

If you need to unbrick (downgrade):
Note if phone refuse to downgrade (so back to 1.19) load old recovery on both slots
fastboot --slot ‘all’ flash boot ./recovery-e-1.19.1-s-20240112372761-dev-tissot.img

and than side load old e os.

Hi there,
something special to get it running with MicroG?
I have a few apps already paid and used and now on FP5 /e/OS 1.20-t (previous 1.19) again no chance to get “paid” version of e.g. “Automate”, get error message “Google play store error: no premium product”, also uninstalled and reinstalled. MicroG is enabled with the Google account the apps are bought with.
Tried also other apps, no chance…
Any ideas?
Regards,
Fritz

Some months ago, I had the same effect when moving vom S to T with my Motorola Moto One Action. Unlocking the bootloader helped because firmware/partitions changed. Without unlocking the bootloader, new partitions cannot be written. But be aware that unlocking the bootloader removes user data! A backup is necessary!

@DietmarT, Without bootloader unlocked I could not have e os 1.19 loaded as base for upgrade. Xiaomi does not support locking bootloader while not using original miui.Thanks anyway.
