Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online services
Hello,
Following my previous question (see Redmi Note 5 topic for e/os installation) for which I had only link for Lineage OS I ask again : can I install e/os on it ? If yes where is the documentation knowing that I am not a specialist of these matters ?
Same question for my Redmi Note 12 Pro +
With AID64 Icould know the name of the 2 devices :
Redmi note 5 is whyred,
Redmi note 12 Pro+ is rubypro_eea
Hoping to have good news from you.
I made an unofficial build for Redmi Note 5
Test : e-3.1.4-t-20251007-UNOFFICIAL-whyred.zip
Sim = OK
Gps = OK
Wifi = OK
Bluetooth = ok
File : OK
Fingerprint : OK
Issues :
Camera not working : Failed to open Camera … id:0
Double-tape to wake anywhere on the screen not working
Media (music app) provide no sound on device, wireless speaker
Plugin headset make reboot.
Browser = Qwant is temporarity unvailable, on the other hand Qwant browser app or duckduckgo are functional
App Lounge : account unavaible .
Not fully sure but this should run on the Redmi Note 12 Pro
Hey, are there any know bugs?
Would be interested in flashing it and supporting you
Thanks.
As I said, it will be my first tentive for such a job !
Is there any tuto I can follow, first for my redmi note 5 ?
@piero
Merci / Thanks
As Isaid I am not very skilled for these manipulation, so I would like you or somebody guide me a little bit more because the tutorials are so completethat I am a little bit lost.
This why I use first my old Redmi Note 5 whyred
On my redmi note 5 whyred :
I am on the developper mode
I have downloaded ““Official TWRP App” but I do not understand how to continue with
On my PC under Linux Zorin Os based on Ubuntu
I have downloaded e-3.1.4-t-20251007-UNOFFICIAL-whyred.zip
But now : what to do ?

Official TWRP App
This is useless…
What you need is Download twrp-3.7.0_9-0-whyred.img
That’s a good thing.
Marc_Driver:
what to do ?
First, install fastboot on your PC
On my redmi Note 5 whyred ?
OK, done and unzipped in my home directory.
And now ?
@piero Le drapeau français pourrait signaler que nous pourrions converser dans cette langue, ce serait peut-être plus simple pour moi
