Week 03 2024: Development and Testing Updates

When you are on dev, then you will need to manually switch to T v1. 9.1.

Because of the ‘one OS version per device’ policy there will be no more OTA for S on FP3.

Hi @Manoj ,
my best wishes for you and your family for that new year.

About the 1.19 upgrade :

  • Appolon 1.18S to 1.19.1S : OK no issue so far.
  • Kebab 1.18T to 1.19T : “installation error” coming “automatically” at the end of the download. So no possibility to upgrade. If more data are needed please feel free for requesting.

@Manoj , how can I join on the gitlab? I was looking to see if I could contribute to the bliss launcher, but I am not able to find a way to join. I have tried multiple ways.

Also, I saw that the launcher3 update references were deleted. Do you know why?

Thank you,
Layne

thanks @aidb for your swift answer. Unfortunately it doesn’t help, still impossible to upgrade.

@Manoj , please add the link Feedback for v1.19.1 in your initial post . I switch to that topic to expose my issue with v1.19.1 update.

Hi Manoj,

Thanks for your weekly reports, which help understand what is going on “behind the scene”.

In that regards, I’m surprised that my FP3, bought on Murena, is still stuck on stable-s and not even planned for the OTA upgrade. Can you ask the team for mire info on that concern ?

Thanks and again, even without, I’m more than happy after all thoses years with eOS !

Here are some Infos:

@solanum Thanks for your kind answer. I did see this information as well ; this is why, after several month of “to be planned”, I was looking for detailed informations via @Manoj ; if he had any.

Are there no tablets officially supported yet?

(I’m almost to 100% in moving off my iPhone to my /e phone and just started looking into a tablet to look at switching off the iPad too. :slight_smile:

We do support a few tablets as of now. You can set the filter to tablet and view them here

Hah; the filter on that table doesn’t work at all on either of the browsers I use on the laptop and I hadn’t tried it on my phone. :slight_smile:

Thanks.

Works fine on my Windows 11 Pro 23H2 desktop with

  • Firefox 121.0.1
  • Vivaldi 6.5.3206.55
  • Edge 120.0.2210.133

Could you share browser and OS details, so that this can possibly be examined by the team?
What does “doesn’t work at all” mean? Can the search options be made visible at least? (Doesn’t work if e.g. all JavaScript is blocked.)

That probably wouldn’t be a good use of anyone’s time; I run an older MacOS (though my Firefox is current) with a lot of content filtering. My experience is not going to be normal. :slight_smile:

(My /e/os phone is the only device I have that renders any Discourse site usably, for example. On my Mac, this site just shows the “e” at the top of the page and the text of the current post; none of the buttons or nav features are visible at all. And that’s in Safari with JS enabled; I haven’t even bothered to try it in Firefox with noscript.)

It’s really not worth trying to replicate most web site display issues I have. :slight_smile:

Thanks, though.

Hi @Manoj,
What is the meaning of the FP4 1.19.1 build for t-stable here? Does that mean we can have an upgrade OTA with 1.19.1 or should we wait for 1.20 as you said on this post?

The meaning is that you could install this build manually using the instructions given at https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP4/install (which links to the download page).

No. This download page doesn’t indicate OTA upgrades to new Android versions. OTA upgrades, once available, arrive via the updater.

Thanks @AnotherElk, but still I don’t understand why the build is available for manual installation if the official message is to wait for 1.20 because all tests have not been made yet.

Ah, I see, this isn’t about OTA upgrades at all. I wondered, as an OTA upgrade to T isn’t even mentioned yet for the Fairphone 4.

Indeed. @Manoj … is 1.19.1-t-20240109372021-stable-FP4 an intentional release?
(The “S stable” link in https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP4/install would need to be updated in this case, too.)
