Best way to support Porting / Checking Status for the Fairphone 5

Lakotaubp

So the FP5 is now on the installer so please give it a try but remember this is still a work in progress. These things are working or should be though some things are just being pushed now.

fixed vgrid units
adb, mtp and usb
Modem is up
Sound and video decoding works
vibrationaidl added to hfd-service
flashlight
auto brightness
mobile data and calls
fingerprint
GPS

Please note mobile data has broken but is being fixed. Calls and text should work. Work on the recovery is also currently underway by @mariogrip and @TheVancedGamer. More updates as and when we get them.

Next devel update should fix ofono

@Lakotaubp
What Fairphone OS version is needed for installation ?
FP5 sadly has android rollback protection so it is important to know.

+Now FP5 reached installer, we should open a device sub forum for it, with a proper beta test thread.
It's a bit HS here now ^^

@Keneda I am informed all the information is as normal in the installer. I can't check as I don't have a 5.

@Keneda Part two requested.

@Lakotaubp

I will happily beta-test and report my findings (where would that be?). But first I need to check if the latest twrp commit allows full backups to work. I need to be able to restore Android (including data) easily if something is not working at all. I will Update this post if the newest twrp works.

UPDATE:
twrp can not backup / use data.
Tryed the offical release (3.7.1_12.0) and one build from the current source (24c9db44e02b3153cbefd8f0a086a3232f9cf5c0) with diffrent configs from (https://forum.fairphone.com/t/twrp-for-fairphone-5/99368).

Error:
E:Unable to override 'ro.crypto.dm_default_key.options_format.version' due to missing libresetprop
E:Unable to override 'ro.crypto.volume.metadata.method' due to missing libresetprop
E:Unable to override 'external_storage.projid.enabled' due to missing libresetprop
E:Unable to override 'external_storage.casefold.enabled' due to missing libresetprop
E:Unable to override 'external_storage.sdcardfs.enabled' due to missing libresetprop

Means:
If someone wants to beta test there must comit to using it no matter what, use a temp. phone from storage, if they have onem, OR instal linageOS and disable encryption when formating data (unsafe and unsupoorted). Just so evey one intrested knows.

"fixed data and issue with performance and 100% cpu usage (thanks to @fredldotme for the radiointerface hint)
so, this is now a fully working device, all boxes checked"
From Marius a few minutes ago

Edit: Should be in the next devel in about 6 hours.

@CatWithUT A FP5 section has been requested and should appear soon. Till then stick to here. We can always move them if needed.

Lakotaubp

@x2u Not that old really, hair, yes it's just really really short and no FP5 your right only a FP4, PPP with keyboard, PP, OP5*2, OPO, Pixel 3a, Bq 5HD, Bq M10 FHD, Nexus 5, Miezu MX4, OP3 dead, Bq U Plus no progress
Do I need another phone? probably not just yet : ) but I have a fair idea how things work.

Keneda

@Lakotaubp
I forgot to say, should be added in device list also ^^

CatWithUT

@Keneda Right. And now that a FP5 Area in the Forum exists this topic can also be moved there if im not mistaking.

Lakotaubp

Have moved this topic and now think it is really only good as a reference point so will lock it.
The group can now be used as any other on the Forum.
