I know there has been sometime from when this was posted but the Pixel 3a series would be a great addition to devices supported by /e/. Does anyone know if someone in the community is looking into that or is that still up in the air?
The signs are bad. There is no official LineageOS 9-Pie template, extremely few unofficial LineageOS builds and a handful of unofficial LineageOS 17.1 builds.
ASOP 10 is no theme currently at all with /e/. Add to this the lack of staff and resources at /e/.
So I’ll have to settle for not /e/ ROMs and the /e/ BlissLauncher /e/ Wallpaper /e/ Browser /e/ Apps for the foreseeable future.
@archje Hi Arche, I’m sorry, I’m new here and I must admit I didn’t get what you mean by “ASOP 10 is no theme currently at all with /e/”.
Most important, I want to vote for the develpment of a build for the google pixel 3a!
If there are any ways a noob can help with that, I’m up for it!

Hello @Ch0pinou, in contrast to LineageOS (17.1), /e/ migrates its supported devices to maximum /e/ OS 9-Pie aka Android 9-Pie.
Android 1Q or Android Open Source Project (AOSP) 1Q are currently not on /e/'s agenda, which means that /e/ willn’t have to worry about this for the foreseeable future.

tks a lot @archje !!
So with your link I may have everything i need to install /e/ on my new Pixel 3a ?
Following the [HOWTO] install eOS GSI on a Treble device, yes @yoda67. Only what comes after that? With GOS I know what’s in.
ok tks
what do you mean by that " Only what comes after that? With GOS I know what’s in."
Sorry my english is not 100% perfect
Hej @yoda67, there’s no need to apologize for so-called bad English. I also don’t always translate German speaking habits in an understandable way, as we just noticed ;o))
Well, I’m referring to the two questions I asked here. Without continuous development an OS on a current phone has no chance with me.
Please ask again if I’m not making myself clear.
so you mean :
If the GSI generic install on a P 3a won’t have maintenance in the future, then you would forget about this phone ? (maintenance from e or Android (security patches).
JF
LOL the french guy trying to speak to the German guy, in english…
Well, this is a globalised multicultural mix ;-//
G°°gle security patches and device enhancements (firmware) come around the 5th of every month for Ppixel 3a. That’s very commendable, isn’t it?! If /e/ OS doesn’t have same level, it isn’t interesting for a device in this price range for me. No matter if I’m an /e/nthusiast or not.
The fastest solution to the security patches on time issue is delta updates. We can send out just the patches immediately after they have been released instead of bundling it + fixes and updates in a full build. I have been pushing for this to be implemented. Will raise this again for a fast closure.
After the initial release of the Android security updates, the LineageOS team also needs a few days until the updates are implemented. This is also completely understandable and okay. Until the middle of the month all ROM builders known to me have regularly integrated the patches. This is also possible for unofficial /e/ OS ROM, as you can see here:
+1 on support for Pixel 3a. I’m trying to figure out how to install the GSI build, but the fact that my p3a is my daily driver running Q makes that a bit tricky… I wish there were good instructions around how to snapshot the device, try /e/, and revert to the snapshot if it doesn’t work out.
The Pixel 3a is a great phone for me and I would love to use /e/ on it every day! I am seeing more and more of them around. Does anyone know what is keeping Lineage from supporting this phone? Does the GSI or treble image thing work, meaning, is there anyone here that has actually done it?
where did u got the bliss launcher?
and now that pixel 3a in supported in Lineageos with 18.1, when it could be included support in e/ ?
Now I am using Grapheneos but missing e/
please consider this device soon. eventhough I know you are soooo busy with Q in different devices and the easy installer.
please add google pixel 3a
