I am trying a lineageos build for S20 FE r8s, but everytime I breakfast r8s, it gives me a bunch of missing repositories. Do you have a copy of roomservice.xml by chance? I attempting to include a patched imsservice.apk which was removed from this build all together. I which it was left there so I can only replace the apk.

The repositories are not available in initial post above. Please look here now:

Has anyone had any luck with this ROM?
If not, can anyone recommend a degoogled ROM for a S20 FE?
If I try and fail, is it likely that I damage or break the phone? Or will I just have to return to stock?

Please try this one:

If not working, take LOS build (same sources though):

Thanks very much @ronnz98
I actually made a mistake though, the phone i may get hold of has a different code name. For anyone naively stumbling around like me, my S20FE is here:

No worries. There are even A14 based for the S20 FE with Snapdragon CPU:

I might try to port for /e/OS-U

Cool, thanks :slight_smile:
So eos is currently on android 13?
And when eos goes over to android 14, you will possibly try to build an unofficial eos with android 14 for these devices?
Are there any advantages to me of being on android 14 earlier?
My main wishes are to be degoogled and private in general.
Can anyone tell me if any of the listed roms are useably stable, easy to use degoogled and privately and about as easy as eos to install? I have installed eos 3 or 4 times on 2 devices without the easy installer, a phone with an official build and an old tablet with a ronnz98 unofficial build.
One last newb question. My potential new phone has an extra two letters at the end of its name SM-G718B/DS instead of SM-G718B. Is it still an r8q?

Yes, its supported- one variant is with 5G the other not
