LineageOS on FP3+ is disappointing, is /e/ any better ? Should I go back to Google?

Which LOS (Android) Version and Build do you use, its difficult to compare without knowing. Do you use pure LOS or LOS4MicroG or LOS with minimal GApps?

@irmamadeinchina

Everything is too small in so many apps, can’t zoom in to have a larger interface,

not sure this is due to LOS and such things are more likely due to the Android version.

Software Update: Android 11 for Fairphone 3 and 3+

I noticed that all the element on screen are a bit smaller than with Android 10. To fix this, I went to Settings → Display → Display size and change it to Large. After that, the size of the text and element is the same as I had it on Android 10.

The light management algorithm

adaptiv brightness is a problem overall and this is also not necesarily related to LOS and LOS has fixed issues when FPOS had severe issues

Official LineageOS 18.1 for Fairphone 3/Fairphone 3+

From our side we have now uploaded a hotfix to mitigate the auto-brightness problems. Fix will appear in next build cycle coming week. Idea: define the minimum brightness at a reasonable level with display still readable. This should prevent insane behavior. The Google “machine learning” thing is still very complex (every app gets its own brightness adjustment parameters) so I doubt people will be much happier with it.

The phone is empty and there is already 13 go of system used, 20% of total capacity, which is huge

I doubt this would differ (a lot if at all) with e/OS (which is btw based on LOS). My system storage with Iode is 9,9GB. Yes on the FP2 with FPOS its only 4,7 however I’m not sure if you can compare this as the FP2 is a complete different device

Resize photo function randomly doesn’t work sometimes, the save function must be bugged.

not sure what you mean here or which camera App do you use? Did you try another camera app like e.g. OpenCamera?

Did you check the Murena Forum for known issues with current version to see if your problems are not the same with e/OS?

@irmamadeinchina

I checked the process to install it and it seems way more complicated than what I did on my FP2.

for the FP3 there is the easy installer to help with installation, did you have a look at this?

@irmamadeinchina

which was 70% of the troubleshoot we experienced to install LineageOS

not sure what you are reffering to exactly?

@irmamadeinchina

use a microsoft computer instead of my apple laptop.

most connection issues are LaptopOS related not Fairphone OS related. Mac is often more tricky from what I read here in the forum and Windows 10 often has driver problems.
