What’s the status mid Aug? Can a normal user install the current beta version and expect sufficient functionality? Or should you wait? Excited to try….
It is a beta so there are known issues and some functionality “gaps”. It is galloping towards release but is bolted onto a beta OS where other changes are happening, if you aren’t prepared to deal with the challenges of a beta platform you should stay on an official release.
ok thanks
Is there an approximate date when it will be official?
This is not known. There is a big push to get it done. I think the expectation is (hopefully) for that to coincide with the current Venus beta OS, but I can’t say for sure as it all depends on testing. Keep an eye on the beta venus OS topic, it has paused a bit due to regional holidays but should pick up again soon.
question: When you switch to V2, isn’t it possible to switch back to V1 the same way you can switch between V1 and GUI Mods?
You can choose to display original gui or gui2 but you will still be on beta release with potential for beta release errors.
The better option is when you load a new version of Venus the device retains a copy of the previous OS on disc so you can always go into the settings>firmware menu and choose to reboot from the previous version to roll back.
