Sailfish OS 4.3.0.15 release4 is now ready. Installation and update instructions can be found at Adaptations/libhybris/Install SailfishOS for fp2 - Mer Wiki.
Note that updating to this release is required before updating to the next release. If you are updating from a release older than 4.2.0.21 read the instructions carefully to see which intermediate updates are needed. Latest image can be found here. Highlights of the new release:
Updated to Sailfish OS 4.3.0.15
Based on Android 6 (18.04 release)
Sorry for the delay with the release. I will try to get next release done much faster. I will start testing probably in the next couple of days.
IMPORTANT When updating from releases older than Sailfish OS 4.1.0.24 be very careful to update first to 4.1.0.24 following the instructions at Sailfish OS 4.1.0.24 release2 for Fairphone 2.
Known issues:
If anyone still notices the previous issue that updating camera configuration fails during camera module change, update or installation please report it to me and use the fix mentioned in earlier release notes (Sailfish OS 3.0.2.8 beta5 release)
Hi @mal, thanks for your continued engagement!
Unfortunately I no longer have a Fairphone 2. I think I remember that you wrote somewhere that you were working on SFOS for FP3 or FP4. Is this true? I can’t find it with the forum search, so maybe I’m remembering wrong…
Hi, I already started testing Sailfish OS 4.4.0 release on FP2 and so far it seems to work without issues. I will next try to update kernel before releasing it.
I noticed that bluetooth might be broken the 4.3.0.15 release, not sure how I missed that during my testing. Can anyone verify that? If so I will revert one package to older version.
Hi!
I flashed an old Fairphone 2, yesterday, but I can’t use bluetooth; it does not start when trying to tab the Icon, and it does not find anything when I try to start it from the settings. Any ideas how to solve that?
The first one is droid-hal-fp2-sibon-0.0.6-202203211306.armv7hl (installed)
The terminal tells me available would be version droid-hal-fp2-sibon-0.0.6-202111072204.armv7hl (adaptation-community),
along with a whole lot other droid-hal-fp2-sibon-packages, all with the same numbers as the first, respectively the adaptation-community packages, this is the whole list; I managed to use ssh to use the terminal on my ubuntu machine:

Is there a way to install the older packages? Would it help to do so?
Yes, assuming you have zypper installed (if not then first run pkcon install zypper) you need to run using devel-su “zypper ref” and then “zypper dup --from adaptation-community” or just “zypper dup”
Thanks, that did it! zypper was installed, I had to use devel-su for the zypper commands. After a reboot I was able to use bluetooth with my creativ lab speakers; tomorrow I’ll check it it works in my car , too.
I was able to connect the Phone via bluetooth with my Renault ZOE , too. The media system shows the phone. But it shows a “Mer Boot Loader” as well; and recognizes that as containing an Android Auto installation… Rather strange.
Another funny thing: When using the Unplayer app the media system plays the music stored on a SD Card in the phone, but shows wrong title and artist in the car display… When using media app which came along with the installation (as far as I remember) I can play the music, too, but get no information about the music at all. I’ll try with other music apps as well, perhaps one of those is working properly.
An attempted update of the old version (4.3.0.15) ended up in an unusable phone, it became incredible slow, and kept crashing ever so often. So I made complete new install.
I don’t know why, but my recent backup vanished in that process, only an old backup survived. So be warned, and be sure to keep a copy of the backup in a safe place, and not only on a sd card within the phone.
Otherwise it is working OK, except for recurrent restarts when I read the first emails after using the flight mode. Perhaps a fairphone2 issue, though.
I read something about a version 4.4.0.72, is there an update available?
