Feedback for v2.8

Fairphone | FP3+ | FP3 | previously on e-2.7-u-20250110460550-community-FP3 | not rooted


Murena has changed the file naming (apparently starting) from this new version 2.8 – out goes “u”, in comes “a14” (e.g. my own version is now called e-2.8-a14-20250221470208-community-FP3). My own install went fine and even quicker than before (well under 20 mins). I haven’t done any testing beyond booting so far.

Right after the boot, I am getting the information/warning that Advanced Privacy is giving all apps no or a fake location – however, the details of Advanced Privacy then correctly display the apps I have exempted from this. I think the benefits of the warning still outweigh its negligible lack of precision.


Other Fairphoners, feel free to check what’s online for you:

/e/OS community FP3 download or /e/OS official FP3 download
/e/OS community FP4 download or /e/OS official FP4 download
/e/OS community FP5 download or /e/OS official FP5 download

As of right now, 2.8 community is available for FP3, FP4 and FP5, but 2.8 official is not (yet). (UPDATE monday, 3 March 2025, 12 pm Berlin time: official now available for all FP3/FP4/FP5)
