Interestingly I found rebooting after the last update to be much faster than before. While it usually took more than five minutes itā€™s now down to normal, just as if youā€™d reboot casually.

LineageOS building seems to fire on less cylinders than usual, so the new build for the Fairphone 2 is nowhere near it seems.
I donā€™t know yet whether Iā€™ll still get to it when itā€™s there or just sit this one out.

Anyway, TWRP 3.2.2-0 is out (Nooooo, the nice 3-2-1-0 sequence is gone :slight_smile: ).

Hmm, the Fairphone 2 build is still in queue, but its up in the LOS Updater (in Settings).

92

Updater getting updates before they are built ā€¦ what a time to be alive :slight_smile: .
Other possibilities: OS is not on the current build? Updater is malfunctioning?

Hmmm ā€¦ building seems to progress fairly fast despite there being only two instances building things, usually there were three instances in the past and a build took hours when I had a look ā€¦ server upgrades perhaps? At this pace, there should be a build tomorrow afterall :+1: .

93

Hmm, perhaps its cause I use LOS + microG. They had it available since about noon of 4th.

Thatā€™s it. They forked the whole thing, of course they could build independently.

I checked the changelog the last weeks. There was no change recorded except one. Does it in this case make sense to update every week? Probably not?!

97

Nobody is forced to update if the changelog indicated it wouldnā€™t matter for the respective personal needs :wink: .

Iā€™m in TWRP regularly anyway to make a system backup, so I donā€™t mind updating LineageOS afterwards when Iā€™m there anyway, and for me thereā€™s updating Open GApps, too.

And I donā€™t like things not working when it matters, so I better test run some things I need or which were hinted at by others.
These LineageOS builds are built automatically without a beta tester process afterall as far as I see it.
