Huge thanks for /e/ OS dev team, awesome work again!
I just love that new dark theme, it was long waited cause I suffer chronical migraine, so thanks!!
Lot of improvements with this update. Now itās finally time to re-learn using swipe gestures again too. Canāt wait what future brings to /e/ OS, might became beta tester if Redmi Note 8T is supported one day. But since this phone is my daily driver I can also wait.
I should have said it more clearly, I meant I hope there will be R support for Redmi Note 8T (and might have been ready for beta testing if there were). Other than that, Iāve been using /e/ OS with my phone from first unofficial /e/ OS build late last year. Obviously I switched to official dev build when it was available at the time.
I had forgotton some of gestures, like swipe from side edge of screen to the center = back. I did remember those long swipe from down to up = show open apps, while same with short swipe brings to homescreen. Side swipe at bottom to switch between apps.
That back gesture was problematic with Nokia 7 Plus at the time when using telegram or whatsapp which I used by those days. Usually when I meant to go back I ended up to swipe message and started to reply that. Now with /e/ I havenāt done that once. Still need to test cropping image which might accidentally do back gesture at sides.
Little correction: Phone calls seem to be broken on my FP3 after updating. The other side canāt hear me, nor can I hear them. Over Signal voice calls, I am able to hear the other side but they donāt hear me. This happens with all methods (headset, speakers oder normal).
Checking with the team for further inputs on this. Interestingly issue was no noticed during the testing. Also does not seem to be consistent across operators. Will let the developers draw their conclusions and come out with a solution.
Romain had no issue during the test after merging the removal of the fstab mount flag, but it seems there can be more configurations (internally+encrypted) that see the issue
Upgrade to 0.18 failed on Sony Z5C.
Followed instructions below and then it upgraded fine.
Everything seems to be workingā¦ no problems making or receiving phones calls, like some FP3 users are having.
Swipe has changed: now swipe up instead of left to close an app.
Can now save attachments using default /e/ mail app. Great to have this fixed especially for any people joining /e/ from now on.
Weather app widget empty placeholder is still there.
