What about Samsung S9+,bought from /e/store?
S9…S9+ identical? IDK…probably not.
Hello.
What’s about GSI images ?
Thanks.
Hi!
I will need a new mobile within a month or so as my iPhone X is dying on me. If I buy a Xiaomi Poco F3, how long before it is thoroughly tested and stable enough to be a daily driver?
Will e.foundation work toward an installer which detects your mobile and fetches the needed files or something to make the process easier for non-techy individuals? I have seen thr GSI and how your tool works for your supported phones, but what I wondered was if this is something you will do for more phones over time or include the GSI in some form? I am capable of installing and testing, but I must admit that I am a bit lazy
A quick research : Introducing /e/OS Generic System Images (GSI)
- it has been announced in the newsletter
Yes, thanks, its my daily
I asked about ‘R’ one…
OK sorry for misunderstanding
Don’t worry, be happy
Would love to see Gigaset GS290 and Sony Z5 Compact on this list as it expands
@Manoj Any chance to add Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 (a5y17lte) to the list? LOS version for this device is now 18.1 (LineageOS Downloads)
Thank you!
Would also like to see the A5 2017 (a5y17lte) added to the list
There is an unofficial LOS 18 build for this device. Because it’s unofficial, I need to work out what changes need to be made in the kernel and device trees, and get hold of the right vendor blobs, before an R ROM can be built. I’m not an /e/ employee, so this stuff happens on my spare time. It will happen, but I’m not promising any timescales
@petefoth Fully appreciate the volunteer nature of your contribution. I am very content with Q, don’t have a need for R so to speak… not letting the compact-sized phones get left behind is my real reason for the interest in R. I can’t help technically, but would happily ship you/e team a used compact phone from ebay as a contribution if that would help.
Added the a5y17lte to the list.
What is about dreamlte (Samsung Galaxy S8)
Could /e/ team inform us when the source trees will be available for user (unofficial) build ?
Thanks
Will check and update
Which url are you trying to access ?
As an expérimentation, is it possible that an advanced user, make this test :
Take a device running updated stock 11,
Flash a recovery if possible,
Change /vendor.IMG to an older, ( extracted from a stock 10 firmware )
Format /data, and Wipe /data /system /cache /davilk-cache,
Install /e/-0.17-Q
Thanks in advance.
That is what the easy installer seems to do for installing oreo.8 over stock android.10 on the Samsung s9/s9+
