I built my own pie version with my own OTA server built-in to make updating a bit smoother.
So my observations:
- in general it’s stable, of course we’re still missing some features from nougat /e/…
- this nasty bug is fixed: Fairphone 2 (FP2) workaround
- updating from nougat (unencrypted) without wiping everything lead to some instabilities…
- the lock settings got faulty at some point making the whole UI crash when trying to un-lock the screen (I could fix it by renaming some files)
- Signal couldn’t start as it seemingly lost it’s encryption keys
- Pie->Pie updates are super fast
- as there’s no pie/oreo stock roms available that obviously won’t have to be mentioned in any install guides (and… I actually never had any issues just installing any custom rom without flashing stock rom first… so I think that’s quite unnecessary… but maybe that’s the only way to downgrade or something…)
@ff2u I’m currently building with docker (using the dev tag)… if you’re interested in OTA support, you can have look here. The checksums are available with just .md5sum / .sha256sum added to the link.
I’m aiming for updating at least every week.
