I am preparing to install an unofficial build of /e/ from
which is a folder containing the successive versions of Unofficial builds of /e/ done by @itsclarence.
First, I want to double-check which version I should install. I am aiming to install the e-0.12-q-20201102 version, both because it seems 0.13 has not been released yet (0.12 might be more stable?) and also the 0.12 version has version “q” as its base, while the 0.13 version has “p” (pie) as its base. I am in favor of the idea of having a “q” based build over a “pie” based build. Is there anything else I should know about the differences between e-0.12-q-20201102 and e-0.13-p-2020-11-09 and which is currently recommended?
I also wanted to double-check that the following steps are the correct procedure to follow. I plan to follow the steps as outlined at https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/s5neolte/install. In summary (I have not listed every little step, I just want to verify I have the big picture and am not following the wrong set of directions), I will:
- Install adb on my computer.
- Enable USB debugging on the Galaxy S5 Neo.
- Enable Developer Options and OEM unlock on the Galaxy S5 Neo.
- Install Heimdall on my computer.
- Boot the Galaxy S5 Neo into download mode, plug it in to my computer via USB, and run
heimdall print-pitto ensure the phone reboots, thus verifying all of the previous steps up to this one. - Download TWRP, use Heimdall to install it on the Galaxy S5 Neo, and reboot the phone into recovery.
- Sideload the e-0.12-q-20201102-UNOFFICIAL-s5neolte.zip file (carefully following all of the substeps, of course).
Is there /e/ specific installation documentation anywhere, or am I correct to follow the LineageOS installation instructions (while making appropriate changes relevant to /e/, namely using the .zip file for /e/ as mentioned above)?
Thank you, and a Happy Thanksgiving from here in the USA!
