@Manoj thank you for keeping us posted. My bad if I missed it in your initial post, but what about Android 15 via OTA for the Fairphone 4? Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

Is this feature will be available for other FP versions ?

Fairphoneā€™s camera app should already be available for at least FP4 and FP5 which are in use in my household.

@AnotherElk Gently disagree. The whole point of /e/OS is to not be a custom rom, but a sovereign Android phone from a European vendor Murena. No rooting, locked bootloader and OTA updates like from other vendors that force GDPR violating Google services on our phones.

For the banking app vendor Atruvia it might have to small of a market share to extra test Murena phones like Apple, Samsung and Pixel phones. But we should not expect that we canā€™t use /e/OS in production but rather increase the market share to have app developers test against it.

But thatā€™s rather an off-topic with already reported GitLab Issue and another forum thread but more interesting here is when offical 3.2 builds with A15 come :hugs: Canā€™t wait to see A15 on shiba and panther and other devices where 3.1 builds of A15 failed before :crossed_fingers:
