Hi community !
It’s my first post, I use /e/ for 2 years on galaxy s9, I like it and I’m happy to join this forum.
Sorry for my english, it will sometimes be strange…
My version of /e/ is the official build “S” (based on AOSP 12).
I read in the note of the last OTA update (3.0.4) that it was the last one based on AOSP 12 :
I read some topics in this forum, that are more or less about this question, especially this one :
My first question is : Does it means the end of support for official build, or are you preparing some over-the-air upgrade to an official build “T” based on AOSP13 ?
If not, what’s the basic path to upgrade from the “S” official build to the “T” community build ?
Should I wait for such over-the-air upgrade wich will do this, or may I perform a “dirty” upgrade, as explained in these topics (that I have not completely understood ) ?
and this old one :
I have to precise that my bootloader is not TWRP, but the /e/ bootloader.
If the way is to do a dirty update, just say it to me without details, then I will write here what I understood about that in the topics, and you will just correct or confirm me…
/e/OS build : A12 official
To understand the difference between /e/OS builds check this guide
You are asking from a position of official(??) – in the title.
No OTA Upgrade for official is published and there is no published official-t build so that is not an option.
Changing from official to community is advised to Factory reset.
So change from official-s to community-t might count as a “very dirty upgrade”.
The prior question would be “Are you planning to buildofficial-t (or maybe official-a14) ?”
Android version OTA Upgrade is the next step after a build is available.
If I was to jump ship from official-s to community-t I would Factory reset for a clean experience. Last time I said this it was pointed out in the nicest possible way that I am “conservative”.
) ?
, so if I have to upgrade manually, I will first factory reset.
