Hi,
Before all, thanks for /e/OS, it’s a great project !
I just got a Pixel 5 under Android 14 but seen that stable redfin build is based on Android 13.
I understood that installing an /e/OS based on Android 13 over an existing Android 14 could result in an unstable installation.
Have you any advice ? should I try to downgrade my Android 14 to Android 13 before trying to install /e/OS ? I see that there is a bunch of tutoriels to do so, do you know if it’s easy ? or do you know if an /e/OS build based on Android 14 will be available soon ?
Thanks in advance for your help, I’m a little bit lost.
… well it is required …
Never tried … but here are the links

Hello Eo5,
I’ve just posted my reservations about the same situation (in July) but for a Pixel 6 which came to me running updated Android 14.
The main issue seems to me to be the ‘Anti-Rollback’ problem. I hesitate to downgrade 14 to 13, even using Google’s own Android Flash Tool, without better understanding it.
I watched 9to5google’s process on YouTube, apparently successful, but…
If you went ahead, can you tell me how it turned out?
Cheers,
KJU
Downgrading from A13 to A12 was done without issue, i don’t doubt that will be the same for A14 to A13.
(or wait about 3 month if you prefer…)
