I had trouble with the phone dialer again, so replaced it with Simple Dialer from F-Droid. I’ll concur with the above assessment. It seems to be quicker. I haven’t found any other issues, for now.
Could anybody short explain how to upgrade from unofficial Pie to Q please? That would be nice.
Thanks in advance.
In my opinion there’s only one way and that’s to do it with a super clean flash to avoid bugs.
So format data and wipe cache/dalvik/system and data.

Great, thank you very much.
Will try the next days and give feedback.
A ‘clean flash’ - as @itsclarence already mentioned - is the safest option. However, since this deletes all data anyway, it might be worth trying to make a ‘dirty flash’, because there are many surprises waiting for the user who is prepared to take risks - see for example here: Dirty flash /e/ over LineageOS for microG - all apps and data still present.
The ‘dirty flash’ does not damage your device. At worst, the attempt ends with a bootloop. Then boot into the TWRP recovery, format and delete and install ‘clean’.

I also had problems with the default dialer. Replaced with simple dialer from F-Droid. Works. But when I have a call, the other person hears an echo. This is bad. Anyone an idea how to solve this?
Hi @peschie1967 This is a known issue that plagues some Samsung Galaxy devices. My S6 has it bad and my S9 doesn’t have it at all. Searching the forum will result in many such cases, with no apparent resolution.
In the case of my S6, I work around this by not using it to make calls via the Dialer(!) but rather I use Telegram to make calls (to other TG users of course), as this method does not present the same echo issue. Perhaps that is an option for you.
Let us know if you come up with something that resolves this issue so that we may all learn.
Best of luck.
@mcmd thanks for your answer. I remember when i used LOS 17 that there was a similar problem. I will test and if I find a solution I will report. Since I use the phone daily, the option with Telegram, is not really a good solution.
Hello,I installed it on my Galaxy S7, also included sdcard and encrypted it.
USB-Android access via adb doesn’t really work constantly. The authorisation window reappears around every 20-30s even if you allowed access for your computer constantly. As I need this I have to go back to “p” for now.
Haven’t tried that unencrypted yet.

Edit: There is a chance that it was caused by a flacky cable. I have to check on that.
Edit 2: Unfortunately it was not caused by cable or plug. So going back for now on “P”
Hey,
I’ve downgraded my S7 (G-930F, Exynos version) from Lineage 18.1 (Android 11) with microG, which was unstable but globally OK, to this /e/ version based on Android 10.
I first tried dirty flashing, but I had no success (launches, but crashes).
I made a clean flash, and… what a smooth experience ! The phone starts so fast, everything is very stable (less the dialer already reported, I installed Simple Dialer instead), and it even fixes some previous bugs in /e/ officially Oreo based version.
So, just a huge thank you for your job. If you need testers, just ask, i’ll be happy to help

The Simple Dialer has a minor issue. It hangs upon the ending of a call, you have to close it manually. Also, audio while accessing voice and keypad automated systems, the audio is truncated, but understandable. Once you have gained access, there is no audio issue.
One big issue, when I get a call, the call gets terminated when I pick the phone out of my pocket. I try to be careful with how I grab it, but it makes no difference. I have an idea, that if you touch the screen anywhere but the accept button, the call will get dropped.
When accessing settings, the first option is to “Customize your Pixel”. That seems to be the only issue with the OS itself. I’m pretty happy with it.
I don’t know why this happens, but I remember there was a thread about it happening on eOS Q on FP3, so seems to be the case on other Q builds as well.
Perhaps has something to do with the base Q build these builds are based on.
Another good thing, I have very slow battery usage, compared to Oreo.
I’ve seen it on a couple of Sony devices withe Q builds too
Tried it again on the weekend.
Problem seems to be gone, cannot reproduce any more.
Used the same cables and plugs.

“Q” is a great OS. Very low battery usage compared to Oreo. I don’t have the call problems with simple dialer that you’ve pointed out. I recommend it for S7 =)
Cheers,

Hi everybody,
I haven’t been here for quite a while. Is it correct that there is an official version on Oreo, an unofficial version on Pie and the unofficial version Q/10 from here?
