- Vendor name: Fairphone

- Not rooted
I unlocked the bootloader, installed 3.1.1-a14-20250828521479-official-FP5 with the fastboot-based shell script (took about 2m30s), and re-locked the bootloader, all without incident.
It’s a new phone and I had not been seriously using it before the upgrade, so I’m not very alert to regressions or app incompatibilities. However, I did notice a couple of glitches:
- In the map app OsmAnd~ (version 5.1.7), the rendering engine “Version 2 (OpenGL)” is unavailable (greyed out) – I wonder if this indicates some problem with 3D/graphics acceleration, but I haven’t investigated how to diagnose that. I’m pretty sure this is a regression from the previous (Android 13) OS version, as I remember playing around with the 2.5D mode with that. (I think that was with OsmAnd~ 5.0.5, mind.)
- I noticed error messages about “Pico TTS” while I was lawnmowering the settings menus. When I went into Settings > Accessibility > Text-to-speech output, the following two warnings popped up, one after the other.
(Pico TTS must have come with the OS image, I didn’t touch it. I don’t know whether this is a regression, as I’m not sure whether I entered this menu under Android 13. Pico TTS nevertheless seems to work, as far as I can tell.)- “Pico TTS: This app isn’t compatible with the latest version of Android. Check for an update or contact the app’s developer. [ OK ]”
- “Pico TTS: This app was built for an older version of Android. It might not work properly and doesn’t include the latest security and privacy protections. Check for an update or contact the app’s developer. [ OK ]”
(For the purposes of the poll, I have nevertheless chosen the “it is working well” option.)
