The oreo version is also ok for my phone.
Can anybody tell when oreo or pie will become an official build for this phone? At the moment nougat is a little bit a show stopper: you take a lot of effort, get /e/ installed on your A5 2017 and you’ll see that the sim card is not found.
(Solution: either intall a stock 7.0 rom before installing the official /e/ build for that phone or use the unofficial build from @Unknown - the issue has something to do with the radio firmware: you cannot mix oreo firmware with nougat os or nougat firmware with oreo / pie os)
First of all: I am of the same opinion as @Micha.K
When @gael announced the Galaxy A5 (2017) with /e/ OS in September 2018, there was already StockROM Android 8.0.0 for the A5 2017, although there was still a security update of StockROM Android 7.0 at the beginning of April 2018.
I assume that the /e/ OS development for Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) “a5y17lte” was based on Android 6.0.1 and 7.0 and therefore the “bootloader and modem problem” didn’t come into play since the launch of 8-Oero. Meanwhile the problem is also known from other devices.
God knows I’m a big supporter of /e/ but here the /e/OS Build Team (Maintainers) should help as soon as possible to avoid image losses.
Thanks to @Unknown we know that /e/ OS (8-Oero ~ 9-Pie) can be installed and operated without pull-ups. The images of LineageOS and LineageOS-for-microG also prove it.
With us in good old germany, no manufacturer in Germany sells as many smartphones as Samsung (2nd place: Apple) and is therefore a potential contender for devices with /e/ OS. The high sales figures owe the South Koreans above all to the middle class devices of the Galaxy A series. In the summer months of 2019, Samsung achieved a market share of more than 40 percent (Statistics: Gesellschaft fĂĽr Konsumforschung (GfK)).
Switching from StockROM Android to /e/ OS requires above all uncomplicated builds with 9-pie (and 10-Q in the foreseeable future) and a well-functioning /e/ ecosystem service.
On a successful /e/ future
