Booting & working /e/OS-U GSI ~ e-2.8-a14-GSI_20250221.img by @colors

The installation of /e/OS-U 2.8 GSI by @Colors was carried out via PBRP > System-Image without any problems. A WLAN /Wi-Fi connection was established immediately ( no fixing necessary )

Notices:
I’ve not intensively tested the individual functions of the GSI. I was primarily interested in trying out whether the GSI system boots and whether and how it can establish an Internet connection without any tricks.

Thank You, Xxpsilon! It’s impressive what you do. I honestly believe that there is nowhere else more dedication than here, for eOS. This is a success anyway.

Xxpsilon · February 21, 2025, 9:07pm

Yes, there are a handful of enthusiasts here in /e/ forum who offer help in favor of the /e/ idea through their extensive involvement. I would like to thank everyone involved.
And to you @Colors, congratulations on your first SourceForge (Rising Star)

Xxpsilon insists on the idea that a GSI-t (android 13) would be very useful. Well, I gave it another try…

Dear @Colors, if you ever don’t know what to do: an /e/OS-S/T a64_bvN like @AndyYan lineage-20.0-20250221-UNOFFICIAL-a64_bvN + lineage-21.0-20250222-UNOFFICIAL-a64_bvN would be wonderful

Colors · February 23, 2025, 12:15pm

I’ll try… Probably in a few days.

Colors · February 23, 2025, 9:16pm

Unfortunately, I can not verify the build as my tablet does not support arm32…

@Colors magnificent and brilliant, what you’ve built as a One-Man-Show within a few hours without even having a device for it.

Colors · February 24, 2025, 5:36am

I’m glad it works because I lost about 6 hours and two compilations not understanding why the tablet does not boot. Only then did I come home. Phui, not developer but assembler. Anyway, I’m gonna enjoy my little “glory” moment, right? At least until the official version comes out.

@Xxpsilon
Two things:

How is Bliss working, so far? Crashes, when rotating e.g. ?
Would you document, how exactly you got the ROM installed, for others to try?

Cheers

make-nz · February 24, 2025, 6:59am

Well deserved!
And if you feel like writing a bit, let people know, how you did it, maybe.

Cheers

I’ll write a howto but basically it’s what AndyYan does for LineageOS.

Xxpsilon · February 25, 2025, 5:37pm

@Colors
Likewise, the corresponding counterpart from @AndyYan does not boot on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (2019) SM-T510/T515. I assume: it’s the device and not your GSI-U. I will try to find another device to test your new creation.

Colors · February 25, 2025, 6:36pm

Thank you! There’s still work to be done…

Colors · February 26, 2025, 6:58pm

Can you please confirm that the new compilation is working? It will be the basis for the others… If it works, can you roughly evaluate the performance? Power consumption and memory?

Just a thought experiment

The term UNOFFICIAL tends to evoke negative associations. There are numerous postings on this topic here in this forum.

Different Build Types

@Colors, the term CUSTOM sounds much more positive to me. @steadfasterX’ CUSTOM BUILD is a good example of this.
