Your list seems outdated, according to the xda thread beryllium aka (Xiaomi) Poco(phone) F1 is officially supported.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

123

: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.

125

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.

126

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

small separator

127

: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 ?

129

Great news @manoj!!!

130

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

131

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.

Hello. Is there any update, of which devices will be supported and the ones that will not be? I thank you.

Yes there is an update. Was just discussing this with the team. Will be publishing the details on this forum hopefully this week.
My plan is to release the test builds on this forum - say 5 devices at a time and have users with the devices test it. We also have a team of testers but here I guess the number of users will be more who can try and test.
Based on the number of downloads we can decide which devices to drop and which to continue support for, The popular ones - which work perfectly on Pie and also the most downloaded get to stay on the list.

Android Q may be coming in by end of this year hopefully. Work has just started on the code updates. So for the time being we will talk about Pie.

May I suggest /e/ creates some kind of test plan to define what should be tested. We could make a topic on the forum, what user think should be tested, and when a device is considered “stable”. For example, the Leeco S2, which I used from the beginning of /e/, always had this annoying camera crashing issue. Although I enjoyed /e/ even with this camera error, I would not consider the Leeco S2 “stable”. I think the path /e/ should take is to pick devices that have few to no issues, and make those official.

137

Do you also consider unofficial builds download ?

138

Here is what I used to test my unofficial build :

Basic elements :

  • WiFi
  • Bluetooth
  • GPS
  • Calls
  • SMS
  • LTE
  • Hotspot WiFi
  • Microphone
  • Call speaker
  • Speaker
  • Gyroscope (orientation)
  • Proximity sensor (during a call)
  • Vibration
  • Front camera (and flash)
  • Rear camera (and flash)
  • Buttons (all)
  • NFC
  • Fingerprint sensor

Advanced elements :

  • Encryption
  • Google Cloud Messaging (working by default or not ?)
  • DRM (check with the “DRM Info” app for instance)
  • SELinux (enforcing or not ?)

Hi Manoj,
Concerning you dropping C category.

Please do keep in your mind that we have set up all the things all the way our mobile with /e/ after trying hard. (it is noted that you worked very hard for us for availing /e/ for our model).
But it took enough efforts to be on /e/, so please i request you dont drop our model. (I use Mido - Redmi Note 4).
Thanks
