Is the device Rooted / Not root: Not rooted

I’am not able to upgrade from e.OS v4.0 (A15) to e.OS v.4.0 A16 or v.4.1.1 because of an recovery error.

This is not an Upgrade package. Looks like the error is saying that the old recovery is not competent to deliver a sideload of different Android version on a dynamic partition device.

No need to install 4.1.1 on the FP4, because no relevant bug were fixed:

Hello,
Thank you for the 4.1.1 update.
I’m surprised that this update is based on Lineage OS 23.0 and not 23.2, which includes the Material 3 Expressive changes.
I need this to use desktop mode efficiently; there was a major update between Material 2 and Material 3 in this regard, and it significantly improves the usability of desktop mode.
Thank you for your work and for taking my comment into consideration.

Thank you for your advise..

Ok I see. Normally I always would favorise a clean install over an upgrade, but I’am also unable to clean out the system partition because of another error message. So my hands are bound on this point with the e.OS recovery..

Maybe I’am in luck with a more modern version of Twrp or Orangefox recovery which I found recently for the santoni. I will give them a shot and reply if the situation have changed.

Is there more details on the use of e/os Password?

The documentation pages says it will be available after the update, which I am on but usage is not clear.

Everything is working fine (from what I’ve tested so far). Only issue is that I was hoping to get onto the offline murena voice to text and able to uninstall my third party option that I had been using (FUTO). But about halfway through downloading the language model, I was met with the following error:

Error: Failed to open microphone: A backend-specific error has occured: InvalidState

Checked permissions, tried rebooting. Didn’t get anywhere.

Possibly related, my Voice Input area in Languages –> Speech –> Voice Input says “none” and doesn’t give me the option of choosing.

Is Murena Voice to Text perhaps only available when using the default keyboard?

I think I found the solution, which might be helpful for folks like myself that use other password apps. Go to your Phones Settings and then change the default Account for passwords to Passwords :slight_smile:

running great on fp4

FP3, v4.0 → v4.1.1, not rooted.

boots fine, I can’t see a regression on a whim, but..

foundation.e.backup overtook the Seedvault function that was already present, had local storage backup and app-by-app choice to exclude/include.

It renders existing Seedvault backups not usable and makes migrating with a Seedvault backup from other compatible ROMs harder than necessary.

I would update the recovery file with the new one before install update by sideloading into recovery and i found this :
:warning: Recovery file from A16 build doesn’t work :warning:
This 2 files isn’t working :

I could install the recovery from A15 build.

I think this is again a pretty nice release and I like the implementation of the text to speech function. This tool works pretty well. However, there is one drawback. In the past I have used Whisper+ Whisper+ | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository, which works nicely for me, and it has the advantage to toggle a button for translation to English and actually to other languages too. Moreover, this tool has two operation modes. One is automatic listening and translation. The other one is push to talk, which means it only records once a button is pushed and it stops recording once a button button is released. It would be great if it would be possible. to have this tool again as an selectable IME input. The alternative obviously would be to implement these translation functionality in the tool provided by eOS.

Did I understand correctly? The update removes Seedvault? This is a major regression if confirmed. @Manoj could we have more info?

The team has created an internal issue around this and would be working on a resolution. Will update.

Everythinks works fine so far :+1:

But: Try to connect passwort service to my own nextcloud instance fails after successful connecting with

Keine Verbindung zum Server. Bitte tippen fĂĽr weiteren Verbindungsversuch

In settings no sign of failed connection. Are there any preparations needed ?

Solved: The passwords app (by Marius David Wieschollek) must be installed.

Indeed for me this is also a major regression. e/os/ relies on the promise to not depend on Google’s cloud, but not depend on another cloud instead.

I regret updating to 4.1.1 just before going on vacation, now I have a phone without backup :anxious_face_with_sweat:

as the good man told, wait & see.
hope that it will be solved soon.
maybe for you the holidays would be the opportunity to make a connection cut and profite, enjoy the relaxation of the moment :wink:

I agree for the connection cut, but I think vacation is the period the most prone for a stolen/lost phone (different place, different habits), so I’m not very confident with the situation.
