For regular visitors it might be obvious, but I registered specifically for the FP2 testing and wasn’t initially aware that /e/ has their own instance of gitlab, so the gitlab ID refers to https://gitlab.e.foundation/ and not https://gitlab.com
Why does an interested person only receive more detailed information when he or she has registered?
When an employer is looking for a new staff member, he will first specify in the job description: “Your tasks” and "Your profile
Without information on the test procedure, how should an interested person be able to decide in advance whether he or she can comply with the test conditions?
An existing device and an interest in helping isn’t a grant that the interested person is suitable as a test person.
Not sure this is a case of transparency- these are instructions on how to test the device further. That is relevant to only a person who is doing the testing.
Please do not twist everything and every comment on this forum as if it is a conspiracy to hide facts.
I’m only sort of, kind of, thinking about it. Being set in my ways, when it comes to operating systems, I’ve had no interest in Pie or Q. I barely tolerate Oreo, mostly because I’m a multibooter and do things in a certain way since KitKat.
The Mata, ofc, only runs one OS. Been on /e/ soon after I got it a year ago. Given that there’s no external SD I’ll have to get around to saving/backing up/offloading everything before I consider helping out with a Pie build.
I’m thinking about it but I’ll have to give up my normal way of doing things (Xposed and GravityBox, mostly for navbar customization). I don’t do Magisk, period, so EdXposed is out. But hey, I believe in /e/ so I guess I can make the sacrifice.
hi everyone, I am a Fairphone 2 owner, I never used /e/ at the moment because I am running Ubuntu Touch on it but with my PinePhone being delivered soon I plan to put Ubuntu Touch on the pinephone and switch my FP to /e/. I am an advanced user so I will gladly put a per-release version if that can help. Please tell me how to do it.
Hi @fla you can send in your details as per what is mentioned here and help with the testing efforts. We have about 10 volunteers helping out but extra hands are always welcome.
I have an /e/ converted Essential PH-1 mata that I use as my only phone. I’d love to volunteer to test the Pie version, but (1) I will first need to set up Telegram and Github accounts, and (2) I’m spooked that I’ll lose the ability to continue using the phone as my only one. Without anyone promising me success, how realistic are my chances of still having a usable phone initially after the switch?
Thanks, and BTW, the PH-1 makes a superb e phone, with the ability to upgrade to Android 10 should you wish to support that version.
I used to use a PH-1 as a daily before handing it off to a family member, I used both official nougat and an unofficial pie on it and both worked perfectly for a daily phone.
