coming back to this topic, where we discussed issues with updates inherent in the 0.8 build for my Samsung Galaxy S6 that lead to my phone not functioning properly, my device now announces to me that new updates are available that are denoted as 0.9 builds.
In the aforesaid thread user archje mentioned that
A change for the better can only be expected with the migration to /e/ OS 9-pie.
I haven’t tested these updates yet, but before I again go through the whole procedure of installing the new build and then returning to a previous build by means of a backup, can someone give me the green light as to downloading and installing the newest 0.9 build update dated from the 15th of May on my Samsung Galaxy S6 device?
Sorry for asking again, but I would kindly like to ask if could you answer the aforesaid questions?
Right now I am more or less in the dark as to when or whether at all I can safely update the /e/ system on my device again, if ever. Thank you!
have there been any news as to the zerofltexx build?
Am I right that this link shows all currently available builds for zerofltexx?
If yes, have those 0.8 and 0.9 builds, which had been availible when this discussion was started, been removed from that list because they were causing too much trouble?
According to the linked defect, later builds - oreo and pie - were made but they had a bug that made the phone unusable. Nothing in the defect report indicates that the problem has been fixed, and no clear indication (in my reading) that the torch app is to blame. So any new build is likely to have the same problem.
I don’t have the ability or knowledge to make a build without certain apps - I just run Docker, and if the builds work, then great. If they don’t, then there’s not a lot I can do.
Also, I don’t have any plans to make more builds any time soon. If I do, they will likely be for Sony devices currently limited to Nougat builds.
Maybe someone is willing to try this updated Oreo-build to see if the problem still exists.
I didn’t costumize it, just updated.
So make a backup first and share your experience
I really can’t answer your question. I suggest you make a backup of your current rom or install for example a working unofficial lineage build first and backup that one. https://lineageos.wickenberg.nu/zeroflte/
I installed it, and it didn’t yet get beyond the boot screen animation where the dot is dangling under the ‘e’ letter, and the dot has been dangling since ten minutes now, but it didn’t proceed to the “your data is your data” logo.
I now restored today’s backup. Seems like this build doesn’t work on my device… :-/
