Currently running the build 0.19-r-20211101143778 on ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1 (X00TD) but it’s been a while since the first beta build. Are updates coming or waiting for feedback from more users?
From my experience, the build is smoothly running without any major issues except the weather widget on Bliss Launcher is not working and Miracast (Wireless Display) is not working. The LineageOS builds are getting updates as usual though.
I am pleased to inform that we have been able to complete the release as per this plan. The statistics around the new devices we added and the ones we upgraded is as under
| Device Type | Count |
|---|---|
| New | 81 |
| Existing | 63 |
| Total | 144 |
The only device we had to leave out was OnePlus one ‘bacon’ as we have been unable to build for it. Unless we get a dedicated ROM Maintainer for the device, we may have to drop it from our release list.
Just to reiterate, we will continue to support the maximum number of devices possible, as not all devices are available or affordable to users in all regions.
I would like to thank the users who shared their feedback for the devices builds and also to the team of /e/ developers who helped with getting these builds out week after week.
Hope to come out with a new list of devices to upgrade or add to our list for 2022.
Hello
Is there any hope to see /e/OS switch to Android ‘R’ on the Samsung A5 (2016) a5xelte?
Note that LineageOS also does not offer a version 0.18 for this terminal. 
But still a huge thank you to the developers and maintainers for the work done 
.
It’s an odd sample. It’s very old, very new and the middle is missing. How come the Redmi Note 8 (ginko), for example, is missing. And yet there is LineageOS for it and the list of models goes before and after it.
This may or may not have something to do with it, but a while ago around here somewhere i posted about (magisk’s) John wu’s “android booting shenanigans” post; essentially android 9 changed the way booting was handled, then android 10 did again, so I imagine a lo of android 9 native phones suffered. Just a s guess
Are maybe working on 5G phones? Could Motorola Moto G50 XT-2137-1 (Ibiza) be added on the supported devices list?
Hello,
i successfully installed /e/OS on my wife’s Samsung S7 phone and my Samsung S5e tablet.
Now the only device i am not de-googled is my HTC U Ultra Smartphone.
Is there a plan to support HTC U Ultra in the future? It’s still a great device.
And i would prefer /e/ OS over e.g. a custom Lineage ROM.
/e/ OS is a complete system, including all apps i need, it would be really great to have it on my HTC, too…
Thanks and best regards
Emanuel
My understanding is that officially, HTC does not allow unlocking of the bootloader. As you are aware, without that, flashing a custom ROM is not possible.
Thank you for your response.
I thought unlocking bootloader is possible, but i maybe am wrong:
All that little article did was show how to toggle a switch to allow unlocking. No actual unlocking, no fastboot instructions, no nothing. A fake guide.
If it were only that easy. 
How about Samsung A51? Any chance e/OS will be ported to this model?
Would it be possible to look at dropping out the Oneplus One 16GB version only? as far as I can tell from the forum/wiki the problems seem to be around partition sizes. the moslty used (AFAIK) Bacon has 64GB storage.
Hi @bonusbartus welcome to the /e/ forum. As far as I can see, the filesystem size error (which has been part of the blocker for /e/) is probably not connected directly; where both devices share the devicecode ‘bacon’, this has to be accommodated within the build. If you have the device and you could test or examine this experiment, Experimental Custom build 'extra_minimal_apps' for Oneplus One - bacon, I would love to look into this deeper.
(I do not think bacon will be on the release plan for /e/ R soon !)
I got one Bacon that is still working, no problem for me to try this 
let’s discuss in the other thread.
Don’t know if you’ve found this already, but you can unlock the bootloader of the HTC U Ultra (officially) on htc dev.
Click on the drop-down menu, scroll to “All Other Supported Models” option at the very bottom, and proceed. This is how I did it.
Nokia 6.1 Plus Official e release please @theimpulson , official LOS release version is 18.1 by you (DRG LOS Official)

Thanks!
What do you mean, R version has been available for some time:

And it’s at list to have android S
I am currently running R unofficial by @RdLr on Samsung A3(2016), 1.4-r-20220927-UNOFFICIAL-a3xelte. It booted nicely and is running absolutely fine. In fact it is superior to Q as I no longer see Error message after clean Q install (#2840) · Issues · e / Backlog · GitLab.
I hope that we can have an official /e/ build before too long, please.
(The similar devices a5xelte and a7xelte also maintained by Danny Wood and at Android R in LineageOS may well be worth a trial official build too.)
