Feedback for v2.7

The drop down is NOT showing up and I guess this might be because the USB connection is not active to ask for any selection. In Developer Options, the default for USB is set to file transfer, but when connecting the cable, the same error message is shown in dmesg output.
I only see the normal charging message, at the bottom of the screen.

Please welcome /e/OS 2.7! :rocket:

We are proud to deliver the /e/OS 2.7. Enjoy all the new features and improvements it embeds!
:sparkles: We embedded some improvements!

:iphone: Galaxy S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra are now available with /e/OS

When and where are the community ROMs available for download?


OTA or installation from scratch ?
Won’t have a stuck in setup wizard again.

OTA for S5e. No problems so far.

Update to /e/OS 2.7-t without any problems. All used apps perform as expected. With the new microG, even Parco app (paying street parking in Germany) is now working using mail registration (i.e. without Google).

Big thanks to the devs!

I upgraded my FP3 to 2.7 and it’s fine day to day. 2.7-t-20250111460957-official-FP3

Brivo Mobile Pass app is complaining that the device is rooted. I haven’t rooted it.

Did the Upgrade as explained by @piero at this link by sideloading (dirty Upgrade).

Up to now, no problems detected. ‘U’ seems to be more stable.

Many thanks to the Team for your good Work.

I dirty flashed my FP3 from 2.6.3-t to 2.7-u (both community)

There were two problems:

SystemUI chrashes when playing media in work profile (Shelter). That is an upstream bug from lineage. It is described and solved here the fix worked for me.

Something was draining the battery. It turned out to be AdvancedPrivacy. Clearing Storage and cache fixed the problem.

It’s not possible to install v2.7 on my device Google Pixel 8 Pro - recovery: error 21.

  • Vendor Name: Google
  • Device name: Pixel 8 Pro
  • Device CodeName: husky
  • Version of /e/OS: 2.7 u

Android 14 was installed on the phone when it was new. I had to update it to Android 15 to be able to activate the Enable OEM unlock in the Developer options.
After than I followed the Intall-Guide in Install /e/OS on a Google Pixel 8 Pro - “husky” and everything worked quite well so far

After I had unlocked the bootloader and flashed the additional partitions, the next hurdle for me was to switch to recovery mode. After

entering fastboot --set-active=a

I switched to boot__a and then I also entered recovery mode.
I carried out the factory reset together with the format data.
When executing adb sideload <downloaded_file_name>.zip, the program aborted at 47% with the following error message:

Error:  recovery : Signature verification failed
Error:  recovery : error: 21
Install from ADB completed with status 2.
Installation aborted

I wonder if I’ve done something wrong.
Has anyone had similar experiences?
What can I do now?

  • Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously: Not sure
  • Is the device Rooted / Not rooted: Not Rooted

Everything seems to be working fine, apart from “Wallpaper and Styles” in Settings which instantly crashes on opening.

I had the home screen and lock screen set with different wallpapers prior to the update, now they’re both showing the home screen one. Not the most serious of problems, to be fair.

It does not work to use /e/ to downgrade Android version. To install Android 14 (U) the device should be on manufacturer Android 14 
 is mentioned in install page 


Tip: Before installing /e/OS on the Google Pixel 8 Pro husky for the first time, install the latest stock OS version 14 build on the device

AdvancedPrivacy is draining my battery as well. Which cache did you wipe? Is it of a specific app?

Yes, but how does that work?
I had to update it to Android 15 to be able to enable the OEM unlock option in the developer options. This option was grayed out in version 14. I don’t see how I could have done it any other way.

It may be best to start a new thread to get specific support. A few possibilities crop up in an online search, subject husky OEM Unlocking “greyed out” or Solved! OEM Unlocking greyed out

Depends on the background of the device; sometimes contact with the manufacturer update service can release OEM unlock.

Storage and Cache of AdvancedPrivacy.
Press Settings → Apps → See all apps → Three dots in top right → Show system → Scroll to AdvancedPrivacy and click it → Storage and Cache → Clear Storage

Thanks! Haven’t recognised the three dots at all ever since. Wiped storage and cache of AdvancedPrivacy and will inspect battery draining.

Problem
I lost my esim with v 2.6.3 and v2.7 solved this huge problem. Thanks the developers.
Unfortunately, v 2.7. didn’t fix an other huge problem. I have 1 physical sim (work) and 1 esim (personal). Both cannot work together. I opened an other topic (https://community.e.foundation/t/problem-esim-and-physical-sim-on-fp4/60822 about this problem but i only met people with the same problem.
When can we hope to solve it? Thanks

First of all, thank you very much for the valuable information!

I have downloaded the following image: Nexus 撌 Pixel èźŸć€‡çš„ć‡șćŽ‚æ˜ ćƒ  |  Google Play services  |  Google for Developers 14.0.0 (AP2A.240905.003, Sep 2024) fĂŒr “husky” for Pixel 8 Pro. This would give me the latest Android 14 version.

In the current state of the smartphone, can I flash the image according to the Google instructions or do I have to do or consider anything else with regard to the actions already successfully performed: “Flashing additional partitions” and “Installing a custom recovery using fastboot” from the /e/os instructions?
