Hello @Infinity You would not be the first person to do that others have done similar. As far as I remember it works but as everyone should have, a backup would be nice in case something goes wrong.
Okay, understood. For me the only backup is a NANDroid. All others will cost me 3 days anyway to fully re-setup my device.
Nothing beats making a NANDroid before any update or tweak, then just do it, and if anything goes wrong, just put back the NANDroid. All others are just too difficult or time consuming (for me).
/e/OS is based on LineageOS, but it isnāt LineageOS. And obviously Android 12 isnāt Android 13.
I understand the thinking, and it would be desirable if it was that easy, but I fear it isnāt.
I donāt have this device, though, so very probably others can be of more help.
@Manoj Easy Installer can be used on my OnePlus 7T. If I use that will that upgrade my device that already has /e/ OS R to S and keep all my apps and settings intake? Will /e/ OS S be available through System Updates in settings? When I go there it says no updates available. Iām on /e/ OS R 1.81.
In general the Easy Installer will execute the respective manual install instructions in a guided, more user-friendly way as compared to users executing the necessary commands themselves in a command line.
The manual install instructions for the 7T contain steps such as āUnlocking the bootloaderā (forcing a factory reset for security reasons = deleting your data, Apps and settings) as well as āFormat the deviceā (deleting your data, Apps and settings).
So, you should expect the Easy Installer to do this for you along the way.
Also thereās this on the OnePlus 7T page. Thereās a link to the Stable S build but the website it goes to does not have the S build. @Manoj is the S Stable build going to be included soon?
The stable tag gets assigned to particular devices which have an /e/OS dedicated maintainer. It is not assigned to an OS as we support a huge list of devices, and it is not always possible to test all the builds on devices. We add the device to the Easy Installer supported list. Please also note, stable builds will be a bit slow in coming ā¦usually a few weeks after a dev release.
