have a look there :
Search results for 'klte #e-devices:unofficial-builds order:latest' - /e/OS community

@piero
Thank you for your reply.
It’s been a while since I installed eos on my S5 so I’ve forgotten how it’s done. Correct me if I’m wrong but my understanding is that:

  • eos-T (and unofficial builds) = more cutting edge and “works beautifully” but not as straightforward to install (I suppose that’s what “adb sideload not possible” alludes to)
  • Legacy builds = official builds: not as recent but tried and tested, installing is safe(r)

I’ve only got one phone and I want to make it last so I suppose I should probably stick with legacy am I right?
Many thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
When you say “will be dropped soon”, does it mean it will no longer be maintained (no updates?)
If so, going for OS-T and OS-U seems to make more sense (assuming they’re fully operational and will be maintained for a while…) doesn’t it?
Thanks a million
