Any working version for Huawei/Google Nexus 6P (Angler)

I’m a big fan of this project; is there any beta working version of /e/ for Nexus 6P (Angler) ? i just ask becausse if you check the wiki there is no, but if you check it here out https://e.foundation/img/supporteddevices.txt there is the device already listed. So HMU if there is a working beta. THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT
lovely greetings :slight_smile:

ps. if there should be no working version of /e/ for angler pls make it work

Officially supported https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/wiki/en/wikis/device/angler/info

I tried to build angler for /e/OS Q but got the following error message:

46% 263/561] including hardware/qcom/Android.mk …

problem: security patch level october 5 2021 https://www.wired.com/story/google-100-android-security-issues-critical-update/ ← will not fix a lot of security problemz :frowning:

any chance there will be an updated version of e-OS?

as this phone has 3GB of RAM! (not enough anymore? #wtf X-D #Debian can run on PCs with as little as 512MB !)

There exists unofficial sources for this device. However I was not able to build

Maybe someone else want to try.

thanks @ronnz98 have got lineage 17.1 working fine :smiley:
but the 18.1 build of #PixelBoot seems to be very buggy and instable?

what is imho strange, there is a build for nexus 6
https://download.lineageos.org/devices/shamu/builds

but not 6p?
https://download.lineageos.org/devices/angler/builds

tried building from scratch but encountered this error:

** Don't have a product spec for: 'lineage_angler'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?

might try this one X-D https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Google_Nexus_6P_(huawei-angler)

I assume you tried on lineage-18.1 sources to build for angler (which is supported up to lineage-17.1).
Nonetheless I was not able to build for latest supported lineageOS 17.1 nor for the unofficial lineageOS 17.1 version. The lineageOS 18.1 seems to be an early version that is very buggy and not maintained anymore - I was also not able to build this version. I would recommend to stay with your current lineageOS 17.1 version as other versions are much more oudated or buggy. The postmarked version seems also outdated and buggy…

Ok, this error was a easy one. I could build up to 50% but got to many errors. I suppose one need adapted qcom audio, media and display sources for this device. qcom media for 8894 caf version did fix this error but not the others.

would be a shame to trash it into the bin though…

problem: LinageOS 17.1 = security patch level 5th of august 2020 :frowning:

true. For /e/OS-Q latest security patch is early 2023. But Q reached end of life

Only version I could successully build was Oreo:

e-0.21-o-20240113-UNOFFICIAL-angler.zip
https://sourceforge.net/projects/eosbuildsronnz98/files/OtherSmartphones/e-0.21-o-20240113-UNOFFICIAL-angler.zip/download

@steadfasterX shows here that /e/OS-Q and the Android security patch level can be at least as of November, 1, 2023.
