Will it be possible or did anyone try to use F2FS or exFAT as SDCard filesystem? This is not working for FP2 and I’d love to know if switching to a FP4 would allow me to use a more suitable FS.
What about installing Magisk, will this work or is it already working :-)? - Edit: Seems it is, but even with patching boot.img within Magisk or by flashing the magisk.apk as magisk.zip?
Thanks,
Singu

@Singulus , consequently, do you intend to resell it? If not, consider recycling it.
Of course I’m trying to resell it - likely on that “Kleinanzeigen”-Plattform ;).

Magisk so far only tested with boot.img as far as I know
Hello out there,
i once used an FP1 - but after some years it was to slow and to limited for my usage - and finally the USB Connector broke… After that i used a rooted LG G6 - in between flashed with HavocOS (also rooted)
“If you can’t open it you don’t own it” was printed on the back of my 3d printed FP1 Case. And when i am no root - i can’t use my device as an open device - it has still some locked rooms.
Right now i am at a point where i was with my FP1 when the usage ended (excelt the bro…

Reg SD card formatting probably some hints here
Hi everyone!
My FP4 has just arrived
Although I don’t use a Google account, I managed to (manually) migrate most of the apps and data from my old Samsung Galaxy A3 without any major issue. The problems started though when I inserted a fresh 128 GB SD card (SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-I A2) and formatted it as portable storage. As I read in the forum, this is the preferred option as it’s supposed to work better than formatting it as internal storage.
Yet, while the SD card se…

Can’t wait to try all this out - I did it.
New build for August. Switched to the Fairblobs and official LineageOS repo. The app grid was reset back to 4x5 which changed the order of my app icons. I had to set it back to my preferred 5x5 and rearrange them. Otherwise the build seems fine.

Smooth update as usual, thanks for providing your releases, was actually waiting for it
For those who use GApps, you will need to reflash the package on top of the update in order for the device to boot.

Anyone know if FP4 is going to be added to the official Lineage site anytime soon? Just got a new phone and wondering if it’s worth waiting to set it up if it’s going to be a matter of days or so.

@yvmuell thanks and am I right in thinking that after that is merged a PR would be opened against the wiki repo?
Is there an easy (subjective I know) way of installing Lineage in the meantime that would be update-able to main once merged without needing to reflash or not really?

You could install @mmustermann 's build a few comment above yours, fairly easily as it’s a matter of flashing the provided recovery then use it to ADB sideload the build.
As for its ability to be updatable from a future official build, I don’t really know, but I have hopes personally

I’m quit sure you’ll have to flash the official build again. An OTA update wouldn’t be possible as the official build is signed with a different key.

Back in the days where LOS became official for FP2, it was possible migrating to official keys…
No idea if this is still valid

That one already exists:

This is what the wiki will look like:

LineageOS does not provide an official way to merge from unofficial builds. LOS4microg seems to do so, but I have no experience with the rom at all.

Anyone know if there’s any particular issues with those PRs that need help or testing? Seems like they’ve been open for a while compared to others?

I just ordered the Fairphone 4 and can’t wait to see that lineage goes official online
You seem to have gained some merge conflicts. https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/hudson/+/335094/1
edit: looks like you’ve solved it and the patch has been merged? We just waiting for an official build now?
