Hi @manoj1 welcome to the /e/ forum.
May I ask … are you using an alternative launcher ? If yes there are a few downsides and fixes in follow-on posts in this thread.
One more thing: I think that it is not possible to set a colour scheme/the accent colour on /e/OS S. I remember that this behaviour was already introduced in March with /e/OS R. There is a corresponding GitLab issue.
EDIT: The missing theme functionality (i.e. missing “Material You”) was already pointed out by @ne20002 in post 194.
I thought I had it when I first replied but I had a small bug… Anyway, I got it working, so yes make sure you’re on OOS12 (as updated as you can), I used Oxygen updater and chose Full installation. Because the app is pushing out OOS13 so make sure it says OOS12. once I installed OOS12 I followed a guide on XDA for CherishOS-4.2 by kumar akarsh. I did this since to install e/os 1.5.1 S you need the same files down below (copy_partitions, vbmeta, recovery)
Download copy_partitions, vbmeta, recovery, and rom for your device from here (OOS12 Files – Google Drive)
3. Reboot to bootloader
4. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
- fastboot reboot recovery
- While in recovery, navigate to Apply update → Apply from ADB
- adb sideload copy_partitions.zip
- adb sideload rom.zip (replace “rom” with actual filename)
- Format data, reboot to system
Hope this helps anyone having issues!

Updating my Fairphone 4 from 1.4 to 1.5 (28.10.2029) to 1.5 (02.11.2022) left me with partiallly functioning WIFI.
Some apps like (Signal) do work (have internet connection) while others like FDroid and Fennec and many others does not connect to the internet at the same time.
Simply installing the apk again does not solve the problem.
Only after deinstallation and a fresh installation FDroid and Fennec can access the internet again.

Same here.
Since upgrading to 1.5.1-s (2 Nov 2022) on my FP4 some apps won’t work with wifi (like AntennaPod, Fennec, /e/ Updater) until I reboot the device. After some time they stop working again and I have to reboot.
Plus, private DNS won’t work at all, see my findings at my other post https://community.e.foundation/t/encrypt-your-dns-queries-on-e-os-system-wide/16252/24?u=vic.fontaine
Hello,

Hi
Did anyone manage to copy WhatsApp to a device with /e/OS 1.5.1 S ?
I just updated from 1.4 to 1.5 on FP4 and now my fingerprint scanner stopped working. No messages, it seems to be just not scanning at all.
EDIT: thank you, a reboot fixed it!
Performed an ota update to 1.5-r. Generally the update went well, except that I’m now unable to connect to my WPA3 WiFi network…
I am experiencing the same HTTP 404 error (on my FP3). Did you find a solution by any chance?
My phone is a Fairphone 3 that I converted to /e/OS at the begining of Sept. 2022 by installing IMG-e-1.3-q-20220823212869-stable-FP3. I believe there was an OTA update at the beginning of Oct 2022 that took me to /e/OS 1.4 (don’t quote me on that). But I am sure that Android 10 was running prior to the e/OS/ 1.5 update.
Following the update, my phone is now running Android 11 and /e/OS 1.5-r-20221028230215-stable-FP3. However, with this update I lost the ability to connect to my WPA3-Personal WiFi network; it does not appear in the list of available WiFi networks to connect to, but is listed under my saved networks. The WiFiAnalyzer app doed see my WPA3 signal.
If you don’t mind the phone forgetting established WiFi connections, you could try the network reset in Settings - System - Reset options.
There’s just BlissLauncher and it was already activated.
Anyway, I pressed it again and settings closed showing the home screen. If that’s what you meant, I’ll see if that solved the issue.
Yes, you have to “reactived” even if blisslauncher is already activated

Just reboot the device, it should work again…
Strange, I do no have this issue on my FP4 1.5.1-s. Did you try to turn Advanced Privacy off for those applications that do not connect to internet?
Me too I don’t experienced these problems with Wi-Fi. I use Feeder too and it works also with Adbanced privacy on.
How many times? I shut down my phone every evening.
I shut down my device seldom. I just switch to flight mode at night.
Hmm, difficult to tell. Sometimes right after I switched flight mode off, sometimes just after a couple of hours. It seems somehow random.
But I’ll wait what happens the next days since I tried what @TheMajorTom recommended.
I had issues like that for months on two FP3 devices (see here). But at last since 1.4 this seems to be gone completely. Never had this anymore. I reach now indeed an entire release cycle (!) between two reboots.
