V2.0 is very nice! But still no possibility to change widget position
EDIT:
Shortcuts from Browser have a worse color than before (here totally black, or yellow where it was white before).
Camera as QR code scanner?
In the release notes and during the live event, it is shown that the default camera app can now be used as the default QR code scanner.
I have e.os V2.0 installed and updated everything in App lounge. I now run foundation.e.camera Version 1.52, but I nowhere have the option to select a QR code icon.
Am I missing something?
You need to tap on the video button on the bottom left. The qr code scanner icon appears.
I was indeed missing somethingā¦
I hope I will remember this. Thanks!
Iām confused. The event showcased two features from version 1.x as though they were new features for 2.0. ā The app tracker and the App Lounge. I heard only two new features, The camera app has QR abilities and Android Auto works now, maybe. Did I miss something?
Photos sync is still broken.

All went well, but I have odd cut in bottom panel.
Everything ran smooth! My impression is that the performance improved.
The icons now have the shape I selected. Probably due to Bliss launcher 3.0.
Thanks for your work!

Update went through without problems. Runs smoothly.
Some minor problems I noticed with the new QR code feature:
- wonāt register for QR scanner quick setting (says itās ābeing updatedā)
- the button in the camera app is not there, it only appears when I tap the video mode button
- when the device is held in landscape orientation, the placement field for the code to read is in the lower left corner, partially out of screen

Update was smooth. Seems no battery drain with this update.
Only little hickup: the weather widget had disappeared with the update, but could be reinstalled as usual.
Great work. Thanks a lot, dear team.
Update on a fairphone 3 worked fine.
However my Nextcloud APP says that it canāt connect to the server(Server isnāt avilable)
How can I fix it?

e/os/ 1.21
Hello
Iāve tried 3 times but nothing changes
For me, I used the OTA updater in the System Settings GUI.
@Zac You can probably fix your phone by following what I mentioned in my post. If you managed to follow the install procedure for /e/, you can probably manage this. Itās all from memory, so some details might differ, and I should preface this by saying that I probably donāt know what I am doing:
- Connect to a computer and let the phone boot into Fastboot mode
- Download the recovery and main image for version 1.21 from the normal /e/ download page (thankfully, it will offer you old versions)
- Flash the recovery for 1.21 by using
fastboot flash recovery <name of 1.21 recovery image on your PC>
in your PCās Terminal - Once this is done, reboot your phone into the /e/ recovery, which should now start (I think the command is
fastboot reboot recovery
) - At this point, I may have extracted and flashed boot.img from the /e/ 1.21 image, but maybe thatās not necessary
- In my case, it complained about not being able to mount /cache, so in Fastboot mode, I wiped that and formatted it and rebooted into /e/ recovery
- Then I selected the option to flash a system image in the /e/ recovery and used
adb sideload
to upload and install the image to the phone - I rebooted the phone and it booted into the GUI
- I had to reset network settings from the Settings app to be able to enable WiFi again
If you donāt want to lose user data thatās on your phone, make sure if you follow any guides online that you donāt wipe /data (called a dirty flash). And of course, once get into the system, immediately make a backup if you donāt have one already ā the built-in Seedvault backup, which you can find in Settings, can do this for you.

After downloading, I tried updating but the window disappeared instantly. I tried a second time, same thing. I thought nothing happened, so I rebooted my phone, and it this seems itās now in fact updatedā¦ But Iām not sure itās completly finished (and I had a few apps crash).
Can I force the re-install ?
Is there an install log I can consult ?
Check out the release notes.
I saw the quick settings issue already with 1.21 but wasnāt sure which app it uses.
The button is only there when taping(switching) modes, works as intended.

My only comment is that I could not find an explanation of the āWall of shameā in Advanced Privacy. Also the heading was in English, even though my system language is French, as I live in France. Should that not be āLe mur de la honteā?
With thanks
