Thankyou very much @chrmhoffmann for this ROM.
I installed the 0.9.3 yesterday on my FP1 and am very happy with it. No problems encountered so far. I am especially happy that my Pebble Time now displays content of messages in stead of only a subject which occurs in 4.2. I was temped to ditch my Fairphone because of this but with this ROM i will use my phone a lot longer!
I have a question regarding the People app on 4.4.4: Can I assign groups to contacts?
On 4.2.2. this doesnāt work (I need to assign groups in Thunderbird and sync them). Somewhere I have read that this feature works on Kitkat.
Edit: As @DjDas points out below, it is possible to assign groups to locally stored contacts, but not to contacts connected with an account like DavDroid.
Well it worked for me on 4.2.2 but I tried only with contacts stored locally on the phone.
Before 4.4.4 I decided to use ownCloud with DAVDroid and now my contacts are handled in this way and it still works either assigning the group to a contact on the phone or by setting it on Thunderbird/ownCloud interface.
The only annoying thing with synchronized contacts is that at every sync I loose SIM card assignments and ringtones per contact, maybe Iāll give a look at DAVDroid code and will try to add these featuresā¦
EDIT: @Stefan maybe I was not much clear: it works ALSO with DAVDroid, the only thing I didnāt try is on 4.4.4 to configure groups for contacts stored using the Contacts system app (I use only DAVDroid to handle my contacts); sorry for not explaining very well!
But in the DavDroid app you canāt modify contacts. Could you try to change the group of a DavDroid-contact inside the people app?
Yes it works even if I create a totally new contact; please keep in mind DAVdroid is only used to synchronize contacts but editing and displaying is done always within the People app.
What I meant is I can choose āwhereā to store contacts in People app and since 4.4.4 I use the DAVDroid account not the Peopleās internal one.
By doing this I can modify groups as expected (although I didnāt try yet to create a new group to be honest, but using the existing ones I created on ownCloud works as expected)
Bye!
Ok thank you for trying!
Could you also try out, if you can achieve other LED colours than green, red and blue?
Maybe you can try with LED colour tester, as I did here.
Can I send you one? Iām very happy with all the effort that you put into this, and the functioning of the BT LE seems to be one of the few issues left with this ROM.
Can you make an tutorial for dummies?
Question 1: how to flash the recovery img? (normally I would go to download mode and odin but that doesnāt work here)
Question 2: why if I donāt flash a new recovery but I launch āinstall from sdcardā (recovery mode) nothing happens?
Thanks
It worked!!! thanks to everybody and especialy to [quote=", topic:10788"]

Iāll check it out and be back for impressions and commentsā¦
I unzipped the FP1 zip (FP1-Fairphone_OS_v1_8_7_OTA_2015081400) but I canāt seem to be able to continue furtherā¦ what am I missing? Thanks
PS Iām on windows 7 by the wayā¦
I assume thatās your problem right now You can have a look at the software below, but not guarantee. Make sure you use āgoodā sources for windows binaries (beware of viruses, rootkits).
Untested & no guarantee
The main idea is to extract the FairphoneHome.apk from the old FP1 image. For this one converts the old FP1 image into an easy readable ext filesystem and installs the .apk from there.
Else: Why not try a Linux-Live-DVD/CD/USB Stick for fun?
Or you could try this flashable ZIP (pwd: ādjdasā without quotes) which I created and use to restore the launcher when I update the entire system
Please consider it works only with CWM recover because it is not signed.
Have fun
Bye!
Thanks but all this sounds Chinese to meā¦ But then again everything till now sounded Chinese but I managedā¦ Iāll give it a try. Thanks again.
How about gravitybox for this version?
PS si far so goodā¦ Everything seems to work nicely.
Just let us know what your problem is. Else, @DjDasās zip looks like a good alternative, I guess. Havenāt tested it, but I think it will just install what you look for.
@DjDas: I think you need to make a small howto for the recovery
Rocks!!! thanks DjDas! I installed it and so far so goodā¦
By the way, I have to say that Iām very proud of myself ()
Also installed OpenGapps without anyproblemā¦ for the time being everything seems to work fineā¦ not gravitybox thoughā¦
Install .zip into sdcard
Go to recovery (previsously installed to flash ROM).
Install zip from sdcard
Install
Reboot
Choose FP launcher when the system asks.
I have a problem with sending WhatsApp Videos. Usually thereās a preview screen when you send a video. I can only see a black screen and the send button.
Anyone else experiencing the same?
When I go through widgets I get the message āfairphone OS stopped etcā. Is it a problem for anybody else or is it because I installed DjDasās zip for fairphone launcher?
AND
How about Gravitybox? itās difficult to go without it if you know it exists!
