Is it planned to include this model variant? The GS 6 is already officially available…
Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online services
with modern handsets, you can always try a gsi (installation likely similar to this: Gigaset GS290 · TrebleDroid/treble_experimentations Wiki · GitHub)
if you own the device, you can ask Gigaset to release the kernel sources (if it didn’t already happen).
Can’t spot gx30 / gx50 at
GS6 is a different Chipset. It’s easy if: same vendor/OEM (Gigaset), same SoC, vendor is GPL release-happy and there is a dev that owns the device and cares.
Also historically Qualcomm SoC were favourable, but Mediatek is catching up according to https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/1uf9wwn/new_mediatek_device_added/
npjohnson1 (LineageOS):
.. it’s actually easier than prior generations of MTK. [..] modern MTK BSPs have a pretty clear delineation as to what’s GPL and releasable [..] ATM there’s a single header in G99 tree that links to vendor/mediatek [..]
Motorola is a vendor that releases sources early and has Mediatek devices. That’s why you can find more MTKs at LineageOS now
Thank you for your detailed response!
I don’t have the device and think about buying it would only annoy me if Murena takes it to the shop or support in 4 weeks.
The chipset is quite similar, or even the same, according to the data sheet:
GS6:
CPU: MediaTek Dimensity 7300
CPU Geschwindigkeit: 4x A78 + 4x A55
GX50:
CPU: MTK7300, 4 nm
CPU Geschwindigkeit: 4x A78 @ 2,5 GHz | 4x A55 @ 2,0 GHz
I looked up GS6 vs GX30 where it’s different (MediaTek Dimensity 6400). Anyway, Periphery (Camera, Screen, lots of sensors) is another thing. If you’re lucky Murena sells it, but until then a device needs to land in a motivated developer that requests sources and ports it.
There is a GX50 with almost the same chip…
as said, you can very likely use a GSI on any modern Android today. There’s less reasons to do individual ports when the periphery works with a GSI too (needs people to find out).
When one finds such devices one needs to search for the device codename [HOWTO] Find device codename if one hopes to find devs with an interest in building a LineageOS custom build …
or else follow the (non device specific) GSI route.
