@donut3 we are discussing with vendors on bringing out /e/ pre installed phones. As you might be aware Google has forbid top smartphone manufacturers from selling android phones with any Os other than android. Even AOSP forks are not allowed…this is in brief what is known as the android anti fragmentation agreement (AFA). We are looking at some work-around to get out /e/ pre installed phones. Once we have something concrete in place you should get an announcement on the channels / forum.
Ok. Thank you. I had no idea, that is sad! But thanks for telling me.
Could you please tell me how long you think it is till the J3 is supported? How long for the J7? Thanks.
@donut3 cannot predict a date as such. It depends on the number of requests for a particular device in our survey [POLL] Which device(s) you would like /e/ to support next? - the more the requests - from different users - the better the chances of the device getting on the supported list.
Ah thank you! Does eelo work on the next one on the list whenever it finishes the current device?
Yes the devices to be supported keeps moving to the next set of popular devices.
I’ve found this ROM of LineageOs https://www.phonandroid.com/forum/threads/rom-custom-7-1-2-unofficial-lineageos-14-1-j3-2016-sm-j320fn-f-g-m.178731/
But I wish there were a way to install /e/
