I have heard that on my last build the Bliss Launcher was the problem for no booting (that’s why Minimal was booting) Now I have removed it and hope it will boot on all devices.
August, 25th: after some tests I have found that MicroG setup is not working and some apps don’t find any internet connection (but internet is working fine)
August, 26th: Issues from 25th are solved. Internet connection is still show ‘sign-in required’. Bit you can ignore. Internet connection works fine
Nice. Maybe you can take this out too (I presume /e/ accepts patches for their software on github): Connections to izatcloud.net . It’s somewhere in vendor directory. Or at least sanitize the request so it doesn’t leak your serial number and the many other things listed there.
It isn’t “needed”, it does help with getting a GPS fix faster for the first time but it also leaks a lot about you. Even if we say “the hell with privacy, I just want a faster GPS fix, it doesn’t matter that my phone is connecting to this company without me knowing or accepting” it’s just downloading a file, there is no reason to leave it make a request with all the private data you can think of about your device.
I am just stating facts, I’m not sure what bothers you. Blocking it in user-space won’t block it completely (as the VPN won’t be up all the time). Even blocking it in hosts won’t prevent it from calling home, at least at boot time. Now I might be a bit biased about this issue but I fail to see why people are much more outraged about more tame things that are off by default (and clearly presented) while this one which is totally hidden and can’t be turned off is just put under the rug.
it’s a GSI. GSI is a Generic System Image and should fit for ALL treble supporting devices. If your device is treble supporting you can find here Device support (Project Treble)
Following that I was able to run the LOS 17.1 GSI so I assume it will also work with the Android 10 based /e/ GSI.
As the FP3 is scheduled to officially receive an Android 10 update on Sept. 7th my hope would be that with an updated vendor partition the Android 10 based GSIs will run out of the box.
