Hello to all of you! After just reading for a long time, I'd like to do my first post ;-) Thanks to all of you for your good work and helpfulness !

Do you consider an update to 2.0.4 safe? Just set RELEASE to the new version and version --dup with the usual repos enabled?

I'd like to try the update, as I suffer from bad battery life (CPU never suspends) and want to benefit from the updated buteo.

Greetings
Daniel

You mean, update with setting release and then doing dup?
I was under the impression it really only works with officially supported devices (sbj1, tablet, model-C, AquaFish) ??

I myself was going to wait until the new Mer build version 2.0.4.x is released and then rebuild my SFOS image...
Is it safe doing version dup on a non-supported device, if it is your daily driver?

Hello juiceme,

in generell OTA should be possible. In case of 2.0.0.10 --> 2.0.4.x it seems to be broken, tried twice, OTA was damn slow and it was not successful.

Its easy to try it without risk using multirom and copies of sfos installation, just remove the device lock and do a cp -av from a third rom. If you are using 2.0.2.x it might work.

Just use the OTA instructions of the first post. OTA using SSH. The update can be slow. 2.0.0.10 to 2.0.2.4x took about 3hours. If the update process hangs at a package fir more than 5 minutes, abort the update with CTRL+C, type "sync" and reboot. Most of the time you have to hard reset your device. When its back up, SSH into it and continue the update with version --dup. If it hangs again repeat the above steps. I didn't update my main SFOS installation because not all patches i need are available.

If you don't use Multirom, ciuldn't you do a full backup with TWRP before updating?

OK, maybe I'll have a go at it.

However doing OTA that way will only update the bits that come as RPM's, right? So if there is a change in kernel or modules it will of course not update those.
Also the adaptation stays the same, even if there's a new nightly of CM that'd correct some bugs...
That's why thought of rebuilding the whole shebang.

Yes only the RPMs get updated.

I don't think that there will be a new version of CM12.1, the latest snapshot is 13 months old.

Is everyone happy with the voice call quality on CM12.1 Nexus 5? I can hear the caller most of the time fine, but the caller always have a hard time hearing or has a lot of echo effect. I was hoping this update will fix it, but still same. I tried it on 2 Nexus 5 devices and both are doing exact same.

Also, does this build use the second microphone to reduce background noice? It doesn't look like it does.

Any ideas to fix it?

To be on the safe side reinstall the package where the installation crashed with
Code:
devel-su pkcon install <packagename>
after the reboot before starting the update process again.

I don't know whether it uses noise cancellation but the voice quality has always been exellent in my setup. Only voice via BT headset is bad, it is absolutely unintelligible.

When I am listening to music via BT and a call comes, I need to reject the call, disconnect BT and then call back, it is that bad.

Why don't you just redirect it back to the phone after taking the call?
