OS Upgrade - Volunteer Testers Required - Next Set of Devices for OS Upgrade

Pinebook hasn’t been available for months, Olimex is a fun craft project. To provide manpower and resources for this means to save money elsewhere.

The devices list of the near future has to be reduced according to the available manpower and resources. As a one-man micro, small and sole proprietorship businesses, GrapheneOS shows that it can manage four devices of a device family with all its strength. The main developer of The LineageOS Project “haggertk” is similar.

So the calculation is a very simple one - and in the end about 25 - 30 devices for /e/ OS v1 can be considered. Some of them still have to be mograted to /e/ OS 9-pie.

Hi. I am mostly interested in unsupported devices (e.g. Suzuran) and devices currently stuck on Nougat (Condor, Sumire) because LOS have stopped supporting them from 14.1

I’m happy to build ROMs for these devices, and for other devices in a similar situation if requested. The important thing for me is that the officially supported / recommended build tools continue to work for these devices. So it would be good if, in the new world, there could be some kind of CI/CD testing of the backwards compatibility of these tools.

I realise this may be quite an effort but, to me the issue of keeping old devices functioning and avoiding the planned obsolescence of many manufacturers is very important.

Thanks for all your hard work in this area up to now :slight_smile:

Thank you. Please specify »officially supported / recommended build tools« so that I can go on the search.

Well according to the /e/ documentation, it’s Docker. I believe this is what is used to build supported ROMs and in the CI/CD pipeline.

It’s also really easy to use with cloud compute resources, which is helpful if you have an internet connection that takes a couple of days to do complete a repo sync :slight_smile:

Again I’ve left this rather late, but I would love to see support for Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact (lilac) See the specs on GSM Arena. It is compact (4.6" screen), waterproof, runs Oreo out of the box and is upgradable to Android 9.0 (Pie).

It’s not officially supported by Lineage, but there are several unofficial Lineage 17 ROMs availabe

»but I would love to see support for Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact (lilac)«

Finally the porting of /e/ Source code to Android Q / Lineage OS 17.1 has started. No ETA’s as yet on completion of activity. A new code base should be showing up soon … v1- Q :slight_smile:

Your list seems outdated, according to the xda thread beryllium aka (Xiaomi) Poco(phone) F1 is officially supported.

It is also written in the source you provided, there are weekly builds for beryllium.

:dark_sunglasses: Please clean your sunglasses and take a close look again. The Xiaomi Poco F1 (beryllium) leads the list of Xiaomi devices. By the way, not an XDA thread is authoritative but the given official LineageOS download source.

It leads the list of Xiaomi devices under Lineage OS 17.1: List Of Unofficial Supported Devices for months with "M"onthly OTA updates

beryllium is officially supported and has nightly (not weekly as I previously said) builds, here is the list of LineageOS 17.1 beryllium nightly builds link.

Do you recognize the two horizontal lines between which the Samsung Galaxy S6 to S8+ are placed? The indication "M "onthly OTA Updates refers to this.

Starting with the Samsung Galaxy S9 and following, the first-mentioned indication "N"ightly and "W"eekly OTA updates applies again.

Now I notice them but you can admit that a bolded line is way more noticeable than a


small separator

:eyeglasses: You see! It helps to clean glasses.

Do I read this correctly, the Nexus 5 is therefore not supported by Lineage anymore ?

Does that mean that it might not get (re)-supported by /e/ os ?

Great news @manoj!!!

I think there hasn’t been updates for that nexus5 for over two months by now.

If the decision would be made not to migrate the Nexus 5 up I would like to ask for one final update that includes the new App store 2.0.

The old is really not very reliable e.g. crashes in the moment for me if I want to see the Firefox details, not install, mind you, just to see.

So the new Apps store would be great if that is possible.

I tested that on an old Nexus5 device and can confirm that the app crashes.
