Hi
There already exists a quite good Nougat ROM for SM–G7105 from Nemirtingas (I already use it fo 5 years).
Can you build something newer for example based on Android 11 GO. There was some try but without working calling and abandoned now here:

Regards

I could build…but cannot guarantee that it will work:

e-2.3-r-20241108-CUSTOM-ms01lte.zip

e-2.3-r-20241108-CUSTOM-ms013g.zip

Thanks!
I will try to download it and check today.
In the meantime can you say what it is? Is it just the build of the source above (which I already know has problem with phone app) or does it contain some of your own code?
Is Gapp included or do I need to download it separately?
And which version it is: Android 11 (as in link above) or Android 11 Go?

BTW.
MoazSalem already create quite a number of both Android 11 and Android 11 Go working ROMs for G-7102 so I don’t think there is a point in doubling his work here. Just concentrate on ms01lte for which last working ROM is Nemirtingas’s Nougat.

I used the sources above and needed to tweek a little bit to be able to build- so it might not work

Gapps are not wanted, not needed, not working on a phone running /e/OS…

About /e/OS

I downloaded it and it doesn’t flash.
[E 1001] Failed to update system image
already at the beginning just as if it was ms013g image and not lte

Just to make sure that I’m doing it right i will check

Nemertigas’s build of this code works on my phone

The UNOFFICIAL one actually does flash but doesn’t go up after rebooting (stucks at the first screen with samsung info)
Is there anyone who actually was able to run those ROMs?

Do you try nougat and R build?

Yes, both of them.
R version doesn’t flash at all.
Nougat does flash but doesn’t go up after reboot.

I assume for R you will need a different TWRP version:

You can try to install LOS first and /e/OS ROM

I’m not using TWRP at all, only CWM Recovery and both LOS 14 and LOS 18 (exactly the one from link) are flashed and up and running.
Only LOS 18 doesn’t have phone app available
(I looked into code and I see something is commented out there, but I don’t know if it is because it does not build and require more work or just by forgeting it)

did you also try to sideload over existing LOS version?

No, what do you mean by sideload. Not “wipe out/factory setting” but directly flash with LOS 14 still on?
What about gaps then?
Or “wipe out/factory setting” then first flash LOS then yours ROM and reboot?

Yes, dirty flash without wipe

Without wipe I have error during flash.
“Can’t install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset”
E:error
(Status 7)
Second option (“wipe out/factory setting” then first flash LOS then yours ROM and reboot - without Gapps) doesn’t change anything. It flashes but doesn’t go up after reboot.
