Hi guys, is it necessary to do a clean install, or is it possible to install 2.6 over the former install?

Incredible how quickly the 2.6 has been created! It is greatly appreciated!

Ronald, thank you very much for building with signed dev-keys

hey @ronnz98

what my eyes see there is an update on 2.7 that is wonderful.

I’ll try it right away, but I know it’s gonna work great, like 2.6… and then it’s still signed, it’s a dream.

many many thanks for creating time and effort you do invest.

[Hase]

hey @cosphi

I think with an update signed by unsigned will not go a local update.

I will test it but clean installation always works.

[Hase]

hey @ronnz98

have it installed as always without errors.

local update not possible only clean installation.

by signing, the notification is finally gone when the system is started.

found no mistakes.

If I find some, I’ll tell you.

yes @ronnz98 is the best creator of e/os in the creation area.

many thanks for the creation.

I love the e/os system for the nothing phone 1, it is perfect thank you

[Xxpsilon]

@Hase

local update not possible

The problem is omnipresent - see:

@Xxpsilon

@Xxpsilon

Note: An update via Local Update was not possible!

I’ve just experienced the identical bug when trying to update IMG-e-2.7-u-20250111460593-community-tetris.zip on the Nothing CMF Phone 1. So the problem occurs not only with unofficial but also with community /e/OS ROMs.

[HvD]

This morning I thanked @ronnz98 at XDA, now I do It once more in this community. In the past, I had a lot of trouble in degooleing my phone with my banking apps. On this rom all is working fine, Both Triodos and Rabobank app. Still struggeling a little with text to speech, but that is no priority for me. Checking for rom-updates is not working, but also no big problem. I bought this phone as a second phone to try out e/os before I change my first phone (Fairphone 4) to e/os. Make Europe great again!

Update for /e/OS-U 2.8

e-2.8-u-20250228-UNOFFICIAL-Spacewar.zip

[Hase]

Hey @ronnz98

oh what a wonderfully beautiful day @ronnz98 has provided a new update, it brings me the smile in my face.

I will test it and of course I will make a feedback.

many many thanks for all your work in creating.

[Hase]

hey @ronnz98

Today I didn’t do a clean installation.

I have tried the locale update from EOS 2.7… on EOS 2.8… it works without any problems. no errors

everything works as usual.

a local update is easier to not reinstall all programs and settings after installation. it saves a lot of time.

the recovery was also updated on EOS 2.8… perfect.

if it is important to you that I should make a clean installation, just say it, but I think it works the same way.

fantastic work as usual.

here are some pictures of the installation.

yes ronnz is the best creator for me and has created a stable perfect EOS system for the nothing phone 1.

thanks to which you always do the heavy work with creating eos, as well as your time.

thousand thanks

I found that MicroG was taking a lot of battery power, up to 50%! The solution to this was to clear the cache from MicroG-services app. Now it’s back to some 9% for two days now. Don’t know how long this fix is working though.

[Hase]

hey @HvD

thanks for sharing

I have no increased energy consumption in MicroG. but it may help other users.

[HvD]

Might be because my 2.8 installation was no fresh install, but a flash over the 2.7 version before.

[Hase]

Hey @HvD

i did a clean installation last time with 2.7.

after the local update to 2.8 everything went as before.

but I don’t use and need MicroG, maybe that’s the reason.

I disabled all settings in MicroG.
because i don’t need it

[HvD]

Thank you @Hase. I find that my battery consumption in one or two days is back to high consumption after clearing the cache from MicroG. What is the danger of disabling all the possibilities in MicroG? I’m using my phone for my business I I’m very happy my banking apps do work on this setup. I don’t want to break anything. In your experience, can I experiment with the setting from MicroG?
