IceCatMobile is compiled from the upstream source code from IceCat. The IceCat 60 release is in progress so expect a few weeks (or at worst a few months) to the IceCatMobile 60 release. On 2018-06-14 17:09, c...@abwesend.de wrote: > I guess there is going to be a new IceCat soon, as Fennec's

I guess there is going to be a new IceCat soon, as Fennec's last Extended Service Release 60 is out. I guess the sync that somehow, anyway forking a project like Firefox one can obviously not release in the same speed, unless you have a lot of manpower. In my old phone I had the same problem

Hi. The best I can think of, is for you to back up all your information, root your phone and then install a compatible version of LineageOS or Replicant. What is the model of your Xiaomi phone? Keep in mind, that non-Android certified phones, and devices with brand headquarters in
