P.S.: @Volker has made me aware of the fact that @Ingo posted about this some hours ago already, however in a topic that generally covers FP4: Google-free Android - #37 by Ingo. I believe though it makes sense to have this as a standalone topic as well as so far Murena has been the only seller of the Fairphone 3 and Fairphone 4 that ships the device with a degoogled OS already pre-installed. If moderators disagree with my judgement, I will of course accept.
This is great news! Iāve had the Fairphone for over month now, but still havenāt used it because Iāve been waiting for a deGoogled OS. when will the OS be available for download for those that already have the FP4?
I know nothing about /e/ in the sense I never ran it. But it was my understanding that itās a fork of LOS.
Maybe Iām taking shortcuts here, but if /e/ is already stable enough to be put on sellable device it appears the work should be āminorā to get a usable LOS anytime soon. I donāt know if /e/ OS source is being shared with LOS community developpers but I sure hope thereās some collaboration at some extend at leastā¦
This topic is about the /e/ OS and if you are referring to that
This is user forum and not for /e/ (Murena)
So you may like to contact whoever it was that promised you such as it wouldnāt be a forum user nor any official Fairphone rep that look in now and then. ???
you do know that /e/ OS is in FACT Murena now right? You can see that if you go up to the topic as well. And maybe you missed, that they changed the name. Asking for the rom as they ship it out with the fairphone4 is allowed and you should respect that.
I cant remember where I saw the message that it will be out but if there is just a rom, I can install it on my phone. Except there is something new I dont know.
Yes Iām aware that the e foundation is now producing under the name Murena
My point was that this is a) not a Murena related forum let alone anyoneās official news outlet, hence my direction to ask on the /e/ Murena stage.
As this is a Fairphone user forum.
Respect ?? Did I show some disrespect ??
The ātheyā is Murena ~ /e/ not Fairphone and this is still only a user forum
From experience Iād say this is a tricky one. In the past it was up to volunteers to add support for a new device to the easy installer. Iām not saying there might be no-one up to the task, but most of the time Iāve only seen people asking for it but next to nobody contributing to it.
Sure, the FP4 is sold with /e/ OS preinstalled so one might think itās kind of āofficialā and the /e/ team will do the necessary changes. But the FP3 was also sold with /e/ preinstalled and there I was the volunteer. The /e/ devs were supportive, no doubt about that, still it wasnāt them who did all the work.
