I just did a factory reset from within Fairphone Open OS thinking it would reset my phone to a somewhat near initial state ⌠wrong, OS and TWRP are the same and encryption is still there, only every other user-related stuff is gone and the OS starts with the initial setup.
Dear diary, âfactory resetâ nowadays seems to be a funny thing not 100% related to the term I once knew, Iâm feeling old âŚ
So I wiped everything in TWRP and formatted data again to get rid of the encryption.
This time I installed the newer LineageOS build from over at the OTA thread like @sky suggested, and indeed, FM Radio and encryption do work.
Awesome !
Getting the FP2 listed as an official device and official builds are a goal though? Just wondering because of the we-are-fairphone OTA etc.
Currently waiting for that, so I do get the âofficialâ OTAs from the beginning.
Yup: The OTA server is doing the building for now (and swithing to the official repo) and when itâs official device Iâll make 2 migration zips to hop on the official release without a factory reset.
Starting a new build with the old keys (OTA signing) and OTA url, so this will work again. I will test the zip tomorrow and then push the semi-official release over OTA if everything looks great!
I have updated the modem.zip file to the latest modem firmware of Fairphone OS 17.07.6. This time I have added proper output to the installation script. This zip file also includes the official Fairphone splash image. In case you have installed a custom splash image, you might want to reflash it.
After you have flashed the zip file, you should see the version 4436.1-FP2-0-04 under Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband Version.
Since those are binary blobs, I have no idea what has changed since the previous release. But comparing the image files, I can see that the following files were changed:
emmc_appsboot.mbn
NON-HLOS.bin
rpm.mbn
sbl1.mbn
The following files were not changed since previous release:
splash.img
tz.mbn
The following files were included in the previous release, but not in the current:
sdi.mbn
I included sdi.mbn and the unchanged files in the modem.zip file, so you can upgrade from older versions as well.
Alternatively, you can flash the latest modem firmware using fastboot. You can get the firmware images from the official Fairphone OS downloads page (scroll down to binary images). Donât flash system.img, boot.img and recovery.img obviously.
Thanks for the update. Sadly this update still suffers from the proximity sensor wakelock bug. Can one of the devs confirm that the old modem files that we used as workaround on FP OpenOS would work on Lineage OS, or is there a compatibility issue ?
The old modem files for Fairphone Open OS should work. However, they might contain unpatched security vulnerabilities and it is not recommended to use them.
If you run into problems with the old modem files, you can always flash the latest modem.zip from the first post of this thread.
In your build from 31th, did you change dpi settings? I have the impression that find are smaller and space is distributed differently ok my screens (Nova launcher)
Would it be possible to put this patch in âourâ build soon(!) ? People (myself included) are having exactly that problem: No microphone on Skype and Skype for Business. https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/181383/
I just modified the file on my phone and uploaded it to /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml and microphone is back on Skype. Here is the attached file (just remove the .pdf extension that is just there to fool the upload restriction in the forum). mixer_paths.xml.pdf (47.8 KB)
I just flashed it and gave it a quick test: Skype microphone works. I could not test Skype for Business, but my guess is that it uses the same low latency mixer that was missing.
I think it can go out via OTA.
