Hi there
Whatā€™s the difference between your build and the build lineage-14.1-20191013-UNOFFICIAL-d2tmo
If someone should test your build, it would be nice to get some details regarding the updates to earlier T999 custom romsā€¦
E.g. based on lineage os, cmā€¦
Thanks and best regards

Hi piero
Thanks for the warm welcome!
Iā€™ve just read through https://doc.e.foundation/what-s-e
Great stuff, you are doing!
Apart from de-googling ā€¦ I would nevertheless like to know, whatā€™s the code difference compared to thed2tmo build from 2019-10-13.
I have refered to the e custom rom here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/info-faq-galaxy-s3-w-lte-sgh-t999l-sgh-t999n.2370981/post-85581573

14.1-20191013-UNOFFICIAL-d2tmo
and
e-0.7-n-20191014-UNOFFICIAL-d2tmo
date are quite the same

e-0.9-n-20200715-UNOFFICIAL-d2tmo
has an updated android security patch

All are using the same LOS sources, ( except /e/OS particularities )

But one have to check if device tree are the sameā€¦

Here is the manifest used for building e-0.9-n-20200715-UNOFFICIAL-d2tmo

e-0.18 may have to be build within ā€œminimal default app listā€ due to /system size (without G.P.S.app)

now I have installed (fresh install!) e-0.9; one minor bug: even if I select MTP for USB connection, the internal storage would not be visible in Windows explorer (like in the Original d2tmo from October a switch from mtp to ptp solves the problem temporarily (the problem does not exist in lineage-14.1-20190507-UNOFFICIAL-d2tmo).
However - which is much more important to me - gps does not work at all allthough I have replaced the original (north-american) gps.conf by the proper gps.conf for Switzerland (I hope, itā€™s the properā€¦).

G.P.S. ā€œMagic Earthā€ have to be updated within ā€œAurora Storeā€ (from ā€œF-Droidā€) as it is the only non open-source app (but privacy-respectful) of the distribution.

There are four possible Aurora apps I could install

  1. Aurora Store
  2. Aurora Store Apps
  3. Aurora Store SHOPAGE
  4. Aurora Store Mobilā€¦
    There might have been a missunderstanding: I would install apps via f-droid or apkpure (The S3 T999Lis supposed to become a gps-mobile with locus maps and brouter only. The brouter apk I would download directly from the brouter page.
    I have selected No 1) and I have installed gps test from chartcross via aurorastore, but the S3 doesnā€™t see any signal (which does see my S3 mini 8190 with omini rom 5.1.1). The method is built in gps only (other settings have caused problems with Lineage I think)ā€¦

itā€™s a left over from lineage os mit gapps. Which replacement should I set?
Here the google server is set (?):
https://gist.github.com/Ivan-Shestakov/0f55043956df55938dd152076f2d4004
Actually, itā€™s a AGPS Server, the present location is sent too. So it shouldnā€™t interfere, I think. I havenā€™t found an profound explanation of the gps.conf but in German:www.pocketpc.ch/htc-hd2-android/131559-gps-conf-kurz-erklaert.html

Another explanation in English:
