[UNOFFICAL BUILD] Samsung Galaxy S20 FE (r8q) Snapdragon! for /e/OS-U

OK, thanks. Will it help you if I keep posting working and not working here?
Where can I find the LOS developer?

Update for /e/OS 2.7:

Wow, thanks.
The search function in settings stopped working after a while, but works again after a restart.
I got a third party switcher installed and that shows all open apps even though the eos app switcher shows nothing.
The map app seems to be working fine.

The option to add restart into recovery to the power menu is checkable but does not do anything.

I like the 2.7 build :heart:
From the start, I could set a pin and add fingerprints.
APPLounge is working properly.
The gesture to switch apps works.
Night Light works
Settings button in drop down menu works

Not working:
Notes App - if I click to use an account it restarts. If I choose Local, it restarts.

I will use the phone and keep you updated
Thanks @ronnz98

—Edit—

Haha! Maybe it says something about how we use our “phones”, or maybe I was focussed on what was not working before.
=> I can not call or sms. Mobile internet is working though.

The camera is not working either. Neither in apps or in the camera app.

I just noticed something that may explain why my phone functions are not working.
Under about phone, the model is listed as SM-G780G. My actual model is SM-G781B.
Is this the cause??

No, you have the 5G model, the other is the LTE version

He has the SM-G781B, not the SM-G981B Exynos model…

On the stock rom it said in the phone settings that my model was sm-g781b (/ds).
On the current eos rom it says that my model is sm-g780g.

Both models are r8q according to the table from @piero .
So does the model name therefore have nothing to do with my problems?

I am trying to return to stock before trying again. On samfw.com i found 58 stock roms for my model number and country where it was bought. I am just downloading the newest one. Is this ok?
Here is the filename SAMFW.COM_SM-G781B_DBT_G781BXXSFHXL1_fac.zip

I am not sure, but, the Security Patch level (2025-01-01) may be a problem…

Ok, Thanks.
Is it better to try the oldest one then?
How would you choose?
Is there a better way to return to stock?
