I think I found my answer here /e/ R beta testing, so I guess I will sign up for volunteer beta test work.

Hello trefix,

Ok, thanks, I will check it!

You can easily open and repair the Galaxy s4 or s4mini as a Fairphone

A few of the community have requested the gx290 be supported by /e/ because it is a rugged phone, and the gs290 is already a central part of /e/.

Dont know just how rugged the gx290 is but I have the gs290 and it is a very good phone for the price.

Better late than never :slight_smile: Here’s an unoffiicial R release for Z5 Compact suzuran, built from the v0.20-r tag

I have run through the same tests that I will be running on the forthcoming official v0.20-r releases and everything seems to pretty much work.

I have only tested a clean install, so be prepared to lose all your installed apps and data. There are some ways of migrating data from Q → R discussed in these forums (TWRP, SeedVault, Android backup and restore project) which may or may not work. Good luck, and have fun!

Hello
Can we have a hope to see the Samsung Galaxy A5(2016) a5xelte switch to the Android R version?
Thanks

Hi @saroumane38, a5xelte seems to be in the same boat as a3xelte, Samsung A3 (2016), LineageOS has not built successfully in Android R for this device. It is marked there as unsupported.

The following branches are officially supported for the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016):
lineage-16.0
lineage-17.1

I can see that work is ongoing; I have tried unsuccessfully to build Android R for LineageOS for a3xelte. The recent changes in the 18.1 device tree for a3xelte do not give me any clue what the underlying issue is. There may be quite a long wait.

Hello all,
Can I ask about mido (Redmi Note 4)? If possible please add this phone to the list.
Thank you in advance!

73

Here’s hoping week 51 is in time for Christmas - any ideas the date of week 51? I’ve been trying to be patient for my Vayu hahahahaha @Manoj

74

Good point. Not all team members will be on vacation in the last weeks. We are still expecting to release and close out this list by the end of this year.

I can’t see any mention of the Xiaom Redmi Note 8 getting update to R, is this the case?

76

What is the device codename…is it ginkgo.

77

It is indeed. I think it would need manual porting as Lineage hasn’t updated yet for it.

78

We have a maintainer for the ginkgo…will check with him if /e/ R builds are possible. Will update.
