Bad news: I’ve finally given up hope that Fairphone will be able to get Fairphone OS back to an acceptable usability level.
Good news: I’ve spent an entire weekend migrating to LineageOS (+ Open GApps) and, while not perfect, I must say that it’s a significant improvement in both stability and features. Thanks a lot @chrmhoffmann! This prolonged my FP2’s life for a few more months (or years?).
One major regression I noticed and couldn’t find already reported here (correct me if I’m wrong): Miracast doesn’t work. The phone finds the receiver, but connection attempts fail or the phone crashes. Tried it with two different receivers. Can someone reproduce this (or was successful using Miracast with LineageOS 16)?
Thanks for confirming. I tried it with a Samsung QM65H conference display as well as the Projecting to this PC feature in Windows 10 (on a Dell laptop).
Same symptoms. The FP2 screen goes black and it seems to “soft crash” (back to the lock screen, SIMs reconnect, WiFi reconnects).
Since you say it worked in LineageOS 15.1, there might be hope that it can be fixed? Now if we only knew someone who knows what they’re doing…
