Hi, do you know where were the source of the kernel and how i would compile it? I wanted to enable some kernel features

Hello @enderrobber101, Welcome to the /e/ users forum.

.

link is in the first post.

You can fork it and add you commits:

I can then do a new build if you want

Thanks, i think i can compile the kernel myself. It is more of a project i want to do.

Hey @ronnz98

First impression and installation:

e-3.2-a15-20251122-UNOFFICIAL-cepheus.zip

Clean installation tested:

EOS Recovery now works when installing and can also start the system. :ok_hand:

There are errors when installing in the sideload, but in the end as a success. (status 0)

This is the first EOS recovery that works. :+1: :slight_smile:

What I have tested:

Bluetooth :white_check_mark:

Standard apps :white_check_mark:

Fingerprint Scanner :white_check_mark:

What doesn’t work:

NFC no activation possible :cross_mark:

sounds don’t work :cross_mark:

But vibration goes. :slight_smile:

SMS Messages APP crashes when opened :cross_mark:

Note
Screen:
The colors look somehow pale compared to the 3.3beta and previous versions. Man can imagine it that way OLED to LCD.

Changing the modes in the settings did not lead to success.

But otherwise it works smoth. :slight_smile:

Thank you so much for the a15 version with the first working recovery and your time the hard work you put in to make EOS work on so many devices. :slight_smile: :+1: :ok_hand:
