No, I stayed on community with that operation, the task was to do the non-OTA upgrade from 13 to 14:

By the end of Nov. 24 I’ve waited for a stable /e/OS U A14 (non-OTA) to be released for FP5 Fairphone 5. It was said that ETA is beginning of Dec. Ok, it was released by end of Dec. but it was only the community edition. Now it’s almost end of Jan. and still not released. What is the ETA for stable /e/OS U for FP5 please?

Received 2.7 today but still on Android 13, Fsirphone 3+ purchased from e.foundation.

Android version upgrades via the updater (so-called OTA upgrades) need to be specially prepared and tested by the development team. You can follow proceedings by checking the weekly posts in Topics tagged development-updates , respectively section “OS OTA Related information”. You will have to wait until an OTA upgrade for FP3 to Android 14 (U) pops up there under “Completed”. Note that even if an OTA upgrade is being prepared, it will only be for stable/official builds.

it says this: “Warning! Unless marked as Official , many /e/OS builds here are not intended for daily use. All builds labelled as Community have not been fully tested yet and may contain major bugs. All builds are provided as best effort, without any guarantee”.

Yes, that’s just corporate arse-covering by /e/. Many people have been using ‘Community’ builds (previously known as ‘dev’ builds) and ‘Unofficia’l builds daily in their main devices. Their quality is usually at least as good as - and in the case of some Unofficial bids, better than - `Official’ builds (previously known as ‘stable’ builds)
