Hello everybody,
I am not very knowledgeable about phones or computers, but I try to survive… I also have started to really worry about the privacy so… I got my FP4 phone 1-2 months ago and now I would like to start using it without google ie. install /e/os before using it.
I read in Fairphone support (https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/10492476238865):
“Before you start Make sure you’re running the latest software available … If you skip this step, the procedure may not work.”.
Also from (https://doc.e.foundation/easy-installer-faq#my-phone-isnt-detected) I read:
“Your smartphone must have the latest version of Fairphone OS to make the oem unlock code to work.”
So I did update the phone, it became Android 12 (it was 11 before the update).
Then I realise, now my security patch indicates “August 5, 2023”.
In “https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP4/install”, under “Downloads for the FP4” is indicated: /e/OS build : S stable (Security patch: 2023-05-05)
=> Question: Is it not possible to install e/OS until the latest security patch (2023-08-05) for S is available? (I assume the same security patch version is valid also if using Easy installer)
=> Question: When the latest security patch for build S for FP4 might be available?
Another general question: By mistake I installed under “Windows update” also some other android driver, not only the one starting with “Google, Inc -…”… was this a big mistake? If yes, is it necessary to remove the wrong (?) driver somehow?
