[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 16.0 for FP3

Sounds good! Can you also tell if you are already working on the integration of the new camera and speaker (modules) for the Fairphone 3+? Or maybe you @Alex.A, since you mentioned that you plan it for the end of October.

/e/OS is coming to the new camera and speaker modules end of october. Not LOS.

I thought you were talking about the release of a first official build and rushed to the official lineage download page to get it. Bummer. :wink:

actually I can already see that the fp3+ has been added on their shop page, so I guess the ROM is ready, but in the device list there’s only the fp3 and shows to be compatible only with fp3, I was expecting fp3/fp3+ at this point.
Patience still required I guess

You guys are plain awesome. :grinning:
It will take a few more days, and then everything should be ready of official Lineage OS 16.0 on FP3. I will also open a new forum topic then and maybe migrate some posts if possible.

You are the one that is awesome, @dk1978. And @Max_S of course. :smile:
Thanks for all the work and efforts you put into this.

Thank you very much for your work. Initially, I was waiting for LOS coming to FP3 before buying it. Since my FP1 resisted the charger too much lately, I had to buy “early”. Now I am waiting eagerly for the official release. Really looking forward to it.

Thank you for the work.
I will, however, wait until LineageOS is available for Fairphone 3+.
Then I buy Fairphone 3+.

I’ve just read about SeedVault, which is a integrated open-source backup solution, making it’s way into LineageOS in the near future.

More information about it can be found here: https://www.xda-developers.com/lineageos-seedvault-open-source-backup-solution/

I was wondering whether this will also be available in LineageOS 16 for the FP3. The Github page indicates that it will only be compatible with 17.1 and newer. (Source for that: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_Seedvault/branches)

The /e/ foundatation has integrated seedvault in their Android 9 based version (in their test builds, it’s not rolled out to the general public yet). It’s “just” more work than integrating it into an Android 10 based ROM.

Cheers to @dk1978 and @Max_S for making this possiblle!
I was wondering whether ‘Lockdown Mode’ aka ‘Show Lockdown Option’ in the preferences Security&Location will be made availeable in the future, I gathered it could be integrated in any Android 9?

EDIT: Nevermind, have found the option somewhere else, so Ill leave it, in case somebody might come across this: Preferences -> System -> Buttons -> Power Menu

FYI:
The LineageOS wiki page for FP3 is already online :grinning: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/FP3/

Hype hype. :grinning:

Yes, the Wiki entry is up and the first builds should be available tomorrow. I should probably rework the Wiki and not claim that we support FP3+. That is still work in progress.

That is great news. Thank you so much for your effort!

Will it be possible swich to the official version via the updater? If not, how would we go about it and would there be a possiblity of doing so without data loss?

Thanks in advance!

I don’t expect that you will need to wipe user data for the transition to the official build. I will test that myself tomorrow with the first correctly signed LOS image and also check what the updater will offer.

At the risk of repeating myself: Thank you :slight_smile:

You’re welcome. I just looked into the updater code. For my self-built unofficial LOS it tries to access
https://download.lineageos.org/api/v1/FP3/unofficial/eng.dani.20201106.120417
I don’t expect the LineageOS server to ever serve up anything useful under this URI. So, follow the official instructions to install instead - but maybe skip the factory reset step.
