Thanks @ronnz98


Done extensive testing over +1 hours, syncing from my own nextcloud, connected to my media servers, as well as to my Mozilla account.

Location & BT are working, too.

Cheers

Cool, thanks for your feedback! S5 Neo is back :slight_smile:

Also, just had a 5min call on 4G network, but the other side had a bad echo
and I’m not sure about the indicator up above, showing a !

Data is working now, just turned off/on

Uuuuu yeah, it is back!
And this is where it came from:

Does the smartphone encryption work?

One (at least) irritating thing: The latest vendor security patch level from Samsung stock is 1.April 2018, in your build (also in the orig. lineage) it is 1. March 2017.

@ronnz98
Got time for a new build?
Cheers

This one is a lot of work to build. Maybe later this year or if anyone want to do this I can mentor

I would like to test the version 2.6.3-s. But have you tried whether encrypting the smartphone works? So far, my S5neo is running very well and I don’t want to set up everything from scratch again.

Update for /e/OS-S 3.0.x

Some heads up: I always used TWRP recovery, never eOS recovery but at some point I don’t remember when & why I ended up with it. Probably with one of your builds.

I tried to install your latest build through eOS recovery but didn’t work and spit out some cache mount problems. I dind’t investigate further and reinstalled twrp v3.7.0 and installed your build…but the damn eOS recovery keeps coming back from the dead again and again like a Zombie.

The option ‘update recovery’ inside ‘updater’ is disabled. As a side note the vendor patch level is still 3/2017 although latest stock patch level is 4/2018.

Thank you for your build and engagement in general!

PS:

  • Enabled Wlan randomization inside developer option prevent wifi connection after reboot or wifi on/off
  • Murena Voice to text at a first glance not working

[libfs_mgr]Failed to mount /cache: File exists

abd devices only gives unauthorized

I can’t make call or receive call, currently using the latest 3.0 version. It said calls and sms temporarily not available and there’s notification that said not provisioned for voice. But my mobile provider name still showing up. Any idea how to fix it?

Edit:same thing also happened when i use version 2.6

Sorry no idea how to fix. This device is extremely challenging to build

Ah well, it’s alright I’ll try my local phone repair if they can figure it out. Nice os build btw, best one in term of performance and battery life.

Paid subscription mandatory…so perhaps it would work ;- )

Hi ronnz98,
updated /e/OS on 2 devices from /e/OS-q xxx to e-3.04-s xxx
Using TWRP, sd-card, it reboots and runs smoothly.
App-Lounge doesn’t work (refresh session or ignore …)
e-message works! On Galaxy S5 (klte) it does not.

You are a ROM-builder for sustainability :ok_hand:
Thank you for your efforts!
