Thank you very much for the reply and thoughtful comments @cornfarmer
When you’re like me and don’t even know what you don’t know that can making knowing the things I wish I knew kind of tricky hehe but I’ll do my best.
-About Trebuchet for one, along with how to install it (I will search after this).
-understanding the risks of using MicroG
-risks of using Aroura as a package manager
-do you sidechain apk’s / use ADB for setup?
-is going from Starlte 8.1.0 to Android 10/Q going to cause issues?
I can see from here https://doc.e.foundation/devices/starlte/upgrade that there is a note of caution
that makes me aprehensive.
-I also see this guide [HOWTO] Update /e/ that is different
-Do I need to install TWRP? How about about Heimdall?
-Is it correct for me to assume that I don’t need to unlock the bootloader?
-Is there any way to turn off vibration notifications globally?
-Is there a way to turn off vibration notifications for Mail all the time, outside of the “quiet time” or should quiet time be all the time?
Sorry for so many questions. They aren’t assignments and I don’t feel entitled to put my issues all on you. I’m not averse to work or research, I’m just trying to optimize my time and learning. At times I’ve spent months trying to get custom roms to work on other phones only to give up and go back to a stock rom. Any advice is good advice and you’re not responsible if I screw something up.
