The /e/OS build is basically a port of the Lineage version. I did not change anything… since its still an ALPHA build even Lineage version may not work (please test this first).
Usually changes are good that /e/OS works especially when building does not need any tweaking (like in this case) but in some cases it does not work for any reason.
Did you follow this for R version:
LineageOS needs custom recovery for flash, if you have skip to step 5.
Step1: enable developer options;
Go to settings>device info> software information and click build number 7 times.
Step 2: enable USB-Debugging & USB Debugging
Go to developer options and enable USB-Debugging And OEM Unlock
Step 3: reboot your phone to download mode.
Shut down your phone and press power + volume down + home button same button and wait download mode confirmation screen if it here, accept it.
Step 4: flash TWRP
Download Odin to your computer and connect your phone using usb-cable, and select your TWRP file and flash using AP option (don’t forgot the disable auto-reboot option)
Step 5: Flash Repartition Script.
NOTE: THAT ERASES YOUR ALL DATA (APPS, FILES, CONTACTS ETC.) Flash OrangeFox Recovery for use repartition script
I literally did the same following these steps. Other OS’s work, I tested older version eos for J7 with android 10 from 2022, lineage 18.1 and not very stable 19.1
Where to download it? After many tests and tries of various roms also on the J730F NevaOS works best. I tested eOS 0.22.3, but the interface didn’t suit me (maybe it’s different in newer versions), but it was very stable
I just wiped everything in orangefox (system, data, vendor, cache), flashed gsi as system image and after that installed h-vendor zip (that’s vendor for all 7870 exynos devices).
But for curiosity sake, I tried to install them alongside microg on another phone for testing (one app was requsting google advertising ID). You can do it but it’s tricky, e/os/ is designed to be degoogled.
Lineage and e/os/ are very similar, I believe e/os/ is lineage’s fork. So it really depends on you. But one thing I know for sure is that on e/os/ battery life is much better without google and all the others constant tracking in the background. And e/os/ privacy is best of the best, bar none.
IF it is just for downloading apps, gapps are not needed even on LineageOS, you can use F-Droid (for Open Source apps), and AuroraStore (for non-paid apps from the Play Store without account)
the integrated /e/OS store called AppLounge include F-Droid and AuroraStore,
So you can install and maintain up to date all existing non-paid apps.
Yes, even when I’m on stock ROM I don’t use Google play store, it’s slow, it takes priority to update itself or google play services first and then all your downloads fail. It’s so bad.
I use aptoide and apkpure if I can’t find apps on platforms that @piero mentioned. But AppLounge had everything that I had searched so far.
Thanks! Everything works successfully and smoothly! Do you have any other suggestions for me after installation? And one question is, do you have a Google or Murena account?
I usually choose anonymous mode to log in AppLounge so you don’t have to use any account.
Go through settings a bit, AdvancedPrivacy is such a good tool but some options are disabled by default. Same with microG.
Also, on GSI you have Phh Treble Settings in which you can tweak your system (it’s model dependent so Samsung will have some features and Huawei other and so on).
Yes, I have been reviewing for some time through the settings and options including the ones you mentioned, but I can’t find one thing: how to remove these buttons from the screen?
