[UNOFFICIAL BUILD] Xiaomi Redmi 4(X) (santoni)

The PDF viewer (muPDF) seems to be missing in this build.

Nice build, thank you. Been working nicely. Hope there will be updates.

Another Pie unofficial build : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=306078
Compiled Feb. 04, 2020.

Some apps (although requested at compilation time) are missing : OpenCamera, muPDF, and maybe some other I don’t use.
Anyway these apps are easy to find on F-Droid or Aurora :wink:

Nice one, thank you! Is it going to be updated monthly?

Thanks :slight_smile:

I can publish a build on a monthly basis, until a Pie official one is released.

BTW, I have a fresh build from today, which should include PdfViewer & Camera ([HOWTO] Build /e/ without docker)
I’ll upload it as soon as tested on my device :wink:

Working fine so far on my device, so here is the link : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261740355

Hi!
I’ve just discovered this community.
I have a Santoni with LineageOS 16… is it safe to “upgrade” to last 0.8 build?
I have read something about I can break my phone if I do a bad upgrade
Greetings ^^

If you don’t want of 0.8 build (some user said it is buggy),
there is a recent Oreo Official Dev Build for the Xiaomi Redmi 4(x) (santoni)
Witch is builded with the /e/0.9 Builder version.
e-0.9-o-2020-official-dev-santoni.zip

But better for you is the pie edition

It’s not about /e/ build level, but Android version :wink:
LineageOS 16 is Pie, /e/-maintained builds are Oreo.

I think it would be at risk to downgrade from Pie to Oreo …
That’s why I posted unofficial Pie builds.

As you already running LOS, your santoni is likely to be unlocked already.
I think you can follow the guide https://doc.e.foundation/devices/santoni/install from “Installing a custom recovery” if yours is LOS’s; if you already have TWRP installed you can proceed with a clean (wipe+format) install as you would for LOS.

My device was running the latest Miui (already unlocked) at buying time, I installed /e/ Pie without problem :slight_smile:

So now, it is a 0.9 build of the unofficial pie /e/OS

New tested unofficial build : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261822452

With reworked sync manager, under Accounts.

NB : /e/ has bugs, but not specific to this device; if you find some you think happens only on this device, please tell me

New build here : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682885509

Installed successfully, testing in progress (working fine so far :slight_smile: ).

Built with “community” /e/ Docker engine, using v0.9-pie tag (v1-pie branch).

Thanks ! Does it include all the packages /e/ should have without modifications ?
(Looks like there was some modifications in previous builds.)

It’s pure, unmodified /e/ build, unless specified :wink:

You can see in manifests I’m only using LOS repos, and Muppets Xiaomi vendor.
Consistency with /e/ is ensured by Docker engine.
This applies also for both previous builds.

In May 31th post, “reworked sync manager” was unclear : it was /e/ devs hard work :slight_smile: I just wanted to point it out.

Hey pal, could you please update the microg version? I was seeing other builds, including officials with recent versions and 0.10 is using one from 2018, and it can’t be manually updated

I’ll take a look at that next week-end, but without any guarantee … :wink:

Hi !

Unfortunately I have some bad news : I can’t copy android_prebuilts_prebuiltapks to my personal GitLab account, so I can’t build properly with an updated microG :frowning:

However I succeeded with manually upgrading it using @marcdw’s excellent post found here : How to install unreleased version of MicroG GmsCore - #2 by marcdw
Download source (Services Core) : https://microg.org/download.html

Note #1 : I’m now using /e/ test build from here
Note #2 : 0.2.11 had some troubles (crash in Settings), I had to fall back to 0.2.10
Note #3 : only Services Core is relevant, other are too old at microg.org or missing in /e/

If you need some details for installation please post back, I’ll be happy to help :slight_smile:
