Hey guys. Just got my phone working with /e/ OS. But to my surprise it’s the Android 8 installed.
A little search revealed this post:
The complete process to get / e / OS 0.13-q-xxx on a Galaxy S9 (with Android 10 stock ROM) is already largely clear to me. But always the question: do you have to root or not? If so, is it Magisk? If not, that’s fine too. Who can help?
Apparently that user has the same phone as me (Samsung S9), but he’s got the Android 10 installed.
Can I upgrade to 10? If so, how?
Thanx. But I read those instructions before and they were too complicated for me. So I went with the Easy Install.
And I don’t where they make an alliance to install 10 instead of 8.

There are issues! Android 10 is a “development” build, while on these devices only Android 8 is regarded as stable. It is thought that stable is more suitable for people migrating fresh to /e/, while after a bit of learning experience many users are happy to take their chances with dev.
If you do a bit more familiarisation and some reading it will probably seem less of a hurdle.

Coming from Android 9 :
Phone is a Galaxy S9 in Android 9 stock rom (for some strange reason, I was never able to upgrade in Android 10 via OTA), so I used it as with the security patches of 2019.
I have some experience in using adb etc (as I used to install a Lineage on an old Moto E 2015 LTE), but i cannot be considered an expert.
I decided to move the Galaxy S9 to /e/. (probably f…

Épilogue
Je viens de suivre mon tutoriel pour mon Galaxy S9 avec succès.
Partez donc rassurés pour effectuer cette opération.
Le contexte
J’ai un Galaxy S9 sur lequel j’ai installé e moi-même. Je suis donc en version e DEV (développement).
Je suis actuellement en version e-oreo-8 et je souhaite passer à e-Q-10.
Il faut donc que j’installe d’abord Android « stock » version 10.
Je n’ai jamais réalisé cette tâche et je souhaite être bien prêt pour la manœuvre.
Aussi je vous propose de corri…
Thank you for your post. Merci pour l’info.
Have you found any problems with running Q on your S9? As-tu eux des problemes avec Q sure ton S9?
Everything works? Tout va bien?
My S9 is working well for my needs with Q Dev.
I noticed some smal issues with the dark mode that should be fixed in the next released…
I also opened two issues in Gitlab:
Battery slow charge setting inoperative
Some settings reset after a phone reboot
