<![CDATA[OP 5 Focal Install]]>Flashed two OP5 today with Focal.
One had been wiped and had a fresh 16.04 on it so no user data just basic initial setup. Just installed 20.04 over the top and all seems well as far as Focal is working (not tried making calls yet have no spare sim).
The other had been in daily use till a few weeks ago so full of app user data and so on. Flashed that again without wipe. Install went well then phone rebooted and opened on what would be the choose language page except no language options available to pick. Rebooted - still the same. Tried flashing again as a check all progressed well but with same result, no languages to pick.
Not trying again today might wait till someone else does and see how they get on, don't want to use the wipe option yet.

Edit: Did try again (I'm inpatient 🙂 ) went back to 16.04
then 20.04 and ......still the same. No language to select so no way forward. That is it for today.

I tried both to update from 16.04 to 20.04 and then I also did a fresh install. With stable channel almost all of video streams that I've tried are not working, but after I switched from stable to development channel for example youtube started working. But still for example this Finnish news channel doesnt work https://areena.yle.fi/tv/suorat it playes the videos and live streams for about 3seconds and then the picture freezes.

Although mind one hint given by Jami. Then it works.

After a phone call other apps, like camera app, will not record sound. A reboot fixes this - until the next call. The service implementation of the script (to autostart it) described in the issue will not work under focal (or I did something wrong).

No installer needed anymore. Big thanks to Ratchanan!

So a clean install is likely to make the least problems.

There where several users (several devices, not OP5T specific) having trouble with reinstalling app, mainly core apps. This might be due to the fact, that those have been renamed. The change in namespace basically makes them a "new" app. There is work going on to provide migration tools, but that is currently in testing stage, not released yet.

With OP5T I still need to run the installer for every update, no change here.

The position switch thing (3.) is only an indicator issue. We need to use the switch in system settings. That works.

The reconnection issue (5.) is due to a timer checking every few minutes (as far as I understood). So when a call is ended, it may reconnect quite soon or may take a few minutes until the next check cycle.

So if you can afford to do a clean install, I would prefer that. But I know there where also some easy 16.04 -> 20.04 installs without wipe that did work fine as well. I assume it depends a bit on what you have installed.

No Axolotl yet on focal.

In the end, you can try a install without wipe going from 16.04 to 20.04. If that does not work out, you can always do a clean install with wipe. Backup is a good idea regardless 😉 . I hope that helps.

Many things work just fine, although a few things I would like to mention and if possible get some feedback if that is only broken on my end or a general issue.

  1. two sim cards inserted: on bootup I am not asked for the sim pin's, I need to manually unlock them e.g. via network indicator
  2. two sim cards inserted: only if both are unlocked mobile data on card 1 is connected
  3. position is always on after a reboot, it does not remember its state
  4. when turning on MMS data point, I don't get internet=mobile data connected, when turning off mms, mobile data instantly connects
  5. I received a call, mobile data would not reconnect after finishing that call (flight mode on/off sorted that)

And if I could wish for something, would be great to get wireguard patch in the kernel.

So, enough for now. :smiling_face_with_halo: . Would love to get some feedback.

Today despite picking 20.04 it installs 16.04 !! twice that has happened. Which is why I was wondering about terminal commands. Still that needs to be in the 3a thread not here.

Have tried it with and without bootstrappping. Both install, but both don't allow updating via recovery.

Have you tried installing 16.04 instead of going back to stock?
