I'm currently running /e/OS on my Fairphone 4! Love to see a community for it pop up here.

Same setup here, it's awesome! The only issue I have is with OpenCamera which takes a while to make a photo every now and then due to autofocus. Everything else has been great!

Hi, could you tell me how the FP4 + e/OS is treating you? I'm planning to purchase the FP4 in a few months since the FP5 is not available in the US (pity).

I have it on my teracube 2e. Although, I don't use it much anymore since i keep getting into a update failure loop over and over. Even when i try to do it manually sadly.

I agree. On each update, i hope it fixes whatever doesn't work that prevents the update to work.

[–] illectrility 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe you could reinstall and see if that helps?

[–] YourNewestMaster 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you know of a guide that could help with that? I've tried the easy-installer and it ends up with the same result because what happens is, while i am successful in installing it, updates get triggered and get back into that update loop. Because i think the installer only uses the first version -- Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. Normally i would use reddit for this kind of thing. :)

This isn't the wrong place at all! Installation Guide for Teracube 2e "2e"; Installation Guide for Teracube 2e "emerald" .

These are the guides for CLI installation which is more advanced than the Easy Installer.

If that fails, too, you can go to the official community page and ask there or go to the official Telegram group to chat with expert users and devs.

Good luck!

I'm running /e/ OS on Xiaomi Mi5 (gemini), works great. Phone is from 2016. One day ago I had updated from 1.8 to 1.16 with success. Really great project !

Wow hello /e/OS community. First time I'm first somewhere. I used to donate to the /e/OS project but stopped for financial reasons. I have never tried /e/OS since it wasn't available for my Poco F3 so currently running lineageOS 20 on but might give /e/ a try soon. I didn't expect the list of supported phones to grow that much in year. Nice to see the project growing.

Welcome, I did not expect to see activity in this community in the first half hour after creation. Thank you so much for donating and supporting this awesome project!

I've used /e/ on my fp3 for over three years and honestly it only gets better. Thanks for creating this community here on lemmy!

[–] illectrility 1 points 1 year ago

It really is great and there's no need to thank me. Someone would've eventually made a community anyway
