Thank you, twolip installs fine, but camera is not working. Camera works in 2.3 legacy.

Built-in Browser and App Lounge not working in 2.3 legacy. Had to copy over a firefox apk and install manually

7

Use Aurora Store as App Store, or F-Droid

8

AppLounge disfonctionning is general, even recent official version have it disfonctionning.
You can use F-droid and AuroraStore.

For Browser it is more surprising, i have issue since e-1.19-r on my Galaxy s4 using it on this forum but other sites are fonctionning quite well… I was thinking it was device dependent but could be a more general issue

.

Edit : i will rebuild soon for this devices !
twolip is already released, whyred will be released in few hours…

Hi,
I’m trying to install /e/OS on my device using TWRP and ADB sideload, but the installation stops at 47%. After that, the device doesn’t boot into the system — it goes straight into fastboot mode.

Device information:
• Model: Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro (tulip)
• Build: e-3.1.4-t-20251008B-UNOFFICIAL-twolip.zip
• Installation method: TWRP + adb sideload
• Bootloader: unlocked
• Full wipe performed (System / Data / Cache / Dalvik) before installation

What happens:
• adb sideload stops at 47%
• TWRP reports an installation error (or doesn’t complete the process)
• After Reboot system, the phone boots directly into fastboot

What I’ve tried so far:
• Reflashing multiple times — same result
• Downloaded the ZIP again to rule out file corruption
• Verified ADB and drivers are working
• Performed full wipe before each installation

Does this version work:

Installation on twolip. With this version.

Recovery extracted from zip. Recovery installed fine. Zip installation failing.

About to try the new release you just uploaded.
