Iâm using the final FPOSOS and Iâve experienced some mayor and some minor bugs.
[1. Most importantly: mobile data is NOT working at all (provider: Drillisch Germany (O2)).] Solved!
2. The screen glitching as described below appears much stronger than before. My FP is sometimes almost unusable.
Thanks. I did it somehow. I still do not know how, played a lot with the telephone, eventually wiped out everything and after a few nervous minutes, I did itâŠ
Hi guys,
I have some problems, I did what you said, but my screen is black with âFairphoneâ in white for 10 minutes. I m not sure thatâs goodâŠ
Help me please !! ^^â
@Irina_Spitznagel posted a step-by-step solution here (auf Deutsch ). Since you are using a German provider, I assume there is no need to translate her post.
Hope that helps!
Now that I have the Open OS installed, I have a few questions ( probably stupid questions).
I have activated the developer option by tapping on the build number 10 times. Under developer options, I have activated root access for apps and add. Is that it? or do I still have to download an app like Superuser through the F-droid store ( which I simply love)? How do I download Titanium Backup when all downloads I find are only through the google play store possible? Thanks again for your helpâŠ
@freibadschwimmer@T0bi sorry for making you meshuga!!! I contacted my provider and he told me the same as @Irina_Spitznagel. It just worked. The preset internet wasnât complete, under âAPNâ wasnât written anything, just âNameâ was filled in. So thank you both!
About TitaniumBackup: I downloaded it via raccoon. It is a programme which pretends being a device and in that way it is able to download any .apk from the PlayStore. You need an
existing Google account.
About SuperUser: Same question here⊠(until now it worked without it but I want to make sure that no unwanted application has root accessâŠ)
Since this morning, the âUpdaterâ regularly offers me a ânewâ version, which I think I already have
I installed the 16.04 ZIP from code.fairphone.com last week and now get this:
Anyway, installing this fails: It reboots to TWRP, shows this error messages about being unable to mount /data and then reboots back to the normal system:
No, activating root in developer options is enough. Now you just have to give apps root permission when they prompt you. You can download Superuser to have more options managing root access, but that currently doesnât work with FP OSOS. (The app says root is out of date and changing options within the app have no effect).
It can be downloaded on the official site (direct link). You just need to allow unknown sources in settings > security, but i guess you already did that since you use f-droid.
Yup, same here. Typical little Fairphone bug with OS versions that are not fully polished yet.
Ugly methods, but this worked to get the ârealâ 16.04: I downloaded fp2-sibon-16.04.0-image-userdebug.zip, unzipped it and then only flashed the boot, system and recovery parts of it, because cache, userdata and the -w switch in the instructions sound like they would wipe stuff. As @paulakreuzer wrote this update is apparently only about the version number and not worth this hassle, but itâs good to know that in principle we people with encrypted phones can update the system using fastboot instead of twrp but still not have to wipe userdata. Now the updater is happy and the build number changed from rc1.7 to the real 16.04:
On a side note, I am still unable to change the wallpaper and while rebooting does not reset the clock any more it still moves all apps under âIdleâ
Hello. I tried using the "Method 1: Using the OTA package"
I downloaded the latest version onto my phone. Then went to Amaze file manager. Tapping the file to start the installation procedure only opened the zip and then the folder.
Fairphone Updater did not process the file or ask me to restart my phone to complete the installation. Any ideas?
Ah yes. Now it seems if, within Amaze, I long hold/right click the zipped folder, I can now choose Updater from among the applications to open it with. Brilliant. Iâll continue along that path! Thanks.
Hi all,
I updated from the FPOSOS beta and I had to do the same trick I used to flash the beta, in order to flash it (I had to flash from TWRP the fp2-sibon-16.04.0-ota_from_gms-userdebug ZIP, not the flashable image one).
Also I still suffer of unexpected reboots (I updated yesterday morning and 1 hour ago I had a reboot while unlocking the screenâŠ) and the weird screen scrolling. Didnât notice yet if there are also ghost touches.
P.S. also updating from the beta erased all user data!
Bye!
Hi again,
I am not able to choose the external sd card as storage location for backups in Titanium BackupâŠI allowed writing permission through amaze and I can add folders on the sd card through amaze. However through the settings in Titanium Backup, when I navigate to the sd card as back up location, I can not choose itâŠSomehwere above, it says this folder is not writable or something (schreibgeschĂŒtzt). What am I doing wrong? Thanks again.
