[UNOFFICIAL BUILD] Pi/e/ test ROM for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 - *"mido"*

Because of the different backgroud and Android boot logo ( :thinking:) it’s custom. I wasn’t able to create a new post in custom builds. As soon as I can create new topics on the custom build section, I will move it

Well, you’ve changed the bootanimation and background, pointed out this change and put it into the »Custom Build« category. This is absolutely correct in my understanding.

As I have written, as soon as I’m able to do. But Manoj and myself are don’t know why I can’t create a new topic under Custom builds.

These official descriptions provide a framework for the term Custom ROM:

i m running a normal unofficial build :slight_smile:

An "M "onthly update - after the monthly Android Security Updates are available - would greatly enhance your work on your unofficial /e/ builds. Havoc-OS does this and has hundreds of users.

i will try my very best but can t promise anything …

:+1: I appreciate your good will. Monthly updates would increase confidence in your build.The "W"eekly updates as practiced by LineageOS aren’t necessary in my opinion. It doesn’t matter a day or two when the updated build is released. What counts is continuity(!)

i updated the link in the topic there you can find now unofficial pie ROM from today :slight_smile:

I ve just install Unofficial 0.9 Pie /e/. Before this i used LOS with Microg (version 16). I m very positive about /e/ but i think at least some features should be there. It is good to go but i face some problems like:

1 I use finance apk BHIM (installed via Aurora). i cant verify phone number. (phone number verification fails). It is must as I need it everytime.

  1. I cant register my fingerprint. it is must for security reason.
  2. At least there should be icon GRID option so that i can dump more apks icons on one page and i dont have to swipe pages.
  3. Icon without name Option should be there.
  4. Ability to uninstall unnecessory apks.

I think first two problems are grave. if it get done, I dont have any reason to go back to LOS.

Thanks

I checked with some of the team members and they were mentioning to try this through Magisk hide. Guess that will need you to root your phone. Do not use BHIM nor have I Magisk so that is the limit of my info on this.

Thanks for help,

Logic is that it was working very well on Lineage os 16.1 so I think it should be working on /e/ too.

I have a group concerning privacy and security. I influence their choices in Digital domain. So if these all the very imp needs are satisfied then entire group can use the os (/e/).

So it would be very helpful to expand the OS in indian market.
And i have also post the isssue in GitLab.

Thanks for help again.

That logic will not work here. /e/ is not a copy paste of LOS source code. There are a lot of changes which have been made to de-google the OS. If it were a copy paste we could have implemented Q the day LOS 17.1 came out.
So what works on LOS will not exactly work on /e/ . Most payment apps require the google infra to work. This causes problems on /e/. Users can always try PWA where they are available or use their PC for their bank related activities.

Yes you are right. Sorry
But if /e/ get the ability, more people may use it.

Thanks.

I m also trying Paytm and will let you know.

Why dont i become a tester ? is it possible ?

Thanks

If this ability will be implemented in eOS, it’s LineageOS. The implementation will break the scope of eOS. Sorry, I know that’s bad. But sometimes you have to decide what you want: Privacy or all app working

First Thank you,
My search of privacy and security has brought me here up to /e/. But after all our smartphones are not just to talk. And finance is a crucial part of digital life. So it is must in our age.
You are absolutely right but my case is practical thing.
is not there any way?
there might be millions of people like me.
Privacy without functionality ???
I don’t want any apk for amusement or Games or just for killing time. Finance apks are as useful as weather apks.

You people are masters of the platform. Really no possibilities ?
Then without functionality, is there any use of privacy ??? I doubt about it.
Thanks

no, sorry. If you can, use web interface.
