@Manoj, what are the reasons to upgrade to 8-Oreo for Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge, while the Fairphone FP2 gets an official 9-Pie upgrade build and the 9-Pie migration is tested for Essential ‘Mata’ as well as Xiaomi Poco F1 ‘beryllium’?

The reason is we will try to get the upgrade for S7 delivered OTA in testing. If it works well then the same upgrade process can be modified for other devices. Right now we need to manually flash the upgrade OS. So it is a step by step process first to Oreo and then if everything works to Pie.

Anyone willing to Test the /e/OS Essential Mata Pie build can download the ROM here

Need to know the following :

  • Does the mata require to be flashed with the stock Pie ROM before flashing /e/ if yes which version of mata Pie Stock
  • TWRP version required to flash the mata
  • Any installer used to flash the mata stock

Update on the Poco and tissot:

We expect to release the official Poco Beryllium and MiA1 tissot Pie official build this coming week.

Will share the next set of devices to be upgraded tested by Monday 24, Feb 2020

Please note: Only users who have experience of flashing their devices with stock and /e/OS ROM’s need to volunteer for the testing.

Leeco le 2 officially supports pie on lineage os! Why /e/ on the Oreo?

This upgrade list was made some time back and never got a chance to update it.
Is the official LOS Pie build working Ok on the LeEco Le 2 S2 ?
Let me know and I can check if we can have the Pie version instead of the Oreo one.

Yes works very well, can be used for daily use (there are minor flaws, but they are gradually corrected by the maintainer)

The version e-0.7-p-20200118-UNOFFICIAL-LeEco-Le-2_X52x from andrelam already worked for everyday use.

Thanks @reyser & @archje for pointing that we have official LOS pie builds for the S2. We will upgrade it to Pie then. Changed the text above as well.

@Manoj, this is a good decision! The /e/ users will prefer to live with one or the other disagreement than with 8-oero, but /e/ OS 9-pie will satisfy the /e/ users. And it also serves the image of /e/ …

Are these builds delayed?

If you meant the builds for mata, poco and tissot then yes this week there was an outage in the build systems which has caused a delay.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 - chiron -> pie
Xiaomi Mi 5s - capricorn -> pie

Any news of thé S7 upgrade?
Additionally i’ve a s7 from e a’d No update (even sécurité) since 2 month

The testing of the S7 is still in progress. The team found some bugs which are being resolved. It may take 1-2 weeks more I guess to come out with a stable build which can be released.
