How to install LineageOS 20.0
If you are familiar with the installation of custom ROMs than you probably already know what to do.
If you already have Lineage 19.1 running, just do a full clean install in TWRP and your good to go.
I personally still use the old TWRP 3.3.1-1 because TWRP 3.6.1 fails to make the Magisk enabled kernel file I create seperatly for every release.
For now please look for detailed instructions here to get LineageOS 19.1 running first.

Worth a try?

Am I interpreting your words correctly - you use a Samsung Galaxy SII i9100 yourself?

Continuing the discussion from Oldest phone with newest Android version (just for fun):

Hello Ronnz98

Many thanks for the beautiful Romfile , it even runs quite well on this ancient device
Here are a few more pictures to enjoy …If you still have time to spare, the Samsung A3 2016 A310F is also waiting to be updated with the latest Rom …

Many thanks and best regards from the Schwarzwald

[ronnz98]

Very cool. This is indeed the oldest device I could built for. We have to thank the developer who has patches and instructions available so I could built successfully

[ronnz98]

Is this the Samsung A3 you have?

[UNOFFICIAL BUILDS] Samsung Galaxy A3 (a3xelte), A5 (a5xelte), A7 (a7xelte) for /e/OS-R

Oh yeah, just a little reminder for everyone that wants to install e/os/ on A3 or A5 models - the newest version of twrp doesn’t work (3.7.0_9), use older one (I used 3.6.2.). @Xxpsilon already mentioned it earlier on this topic, I can confirm that is universal problem.

[ronnz98]

Nope I do not have a S II…

Good evening ronnz98

this version is currently installed ( see screenshots )

I have slightly more RAM in this mobile phone than in the S2 i9100

As already communicated, it would be nice if you could update the Rom to a newer version

Many thanks in advance

still developpement in the “R” branch has been dropped, update to newer version is impossible :
e-2.2-r-20240927 will be the same as your already installed e-2.2-r-20240721, so it will have no interest…

[ronnz98]

Correct. Will be the last Version…

[Black_Forest_71]

okay, thanks anyway for the quick feedback

Hello there,

It’s a pleasure to see that this topic is still active! For me, using a smartphone as long as possible is important to the environment and the posts show that /e/OS can be used on phones that are discarded long before they reach their end. And so it should be.
