v0.15 Testing
We have initiated the testing for v0.15 with the help of our testing team.
-
list of issues being fixed in v0.15
this list as you can see has 30 issues marked as resolved. -
There are a few issues which are still open , we may move them to v0.16 or the next development sprint
-
We usually take a week to complete the testing + bug fixes and retesting.
That would mean , with everything working perfectly this update should be available OTA for all dev devices by second week of March. Stable builds will go out a week later. -
There was a list of builds that failed as part of these weekly upgrades these devices include
On Pie find7
On Q a3xelte, jactivelte , bacon, gts4lvwifi , hlte, s5neolte , a5y17lte , a7y17lte , m8 , s3ve3gxx , wt88047
Have asked the build team to include the builds for these devices as well.
Will be updating this thread on the progress.
Updates on eCloud
Couple of months back we conducted a survey where we asked you what apps you would like to see on eCloud.
As part of it we have added a few apps which you can check out on your ecloud
Login in to eCloud go to your Profile > Settings >> Menu on Left Side | App Order
You should see a list like this
Choose the apps you like

We will be adding more apps based on what you had requested . The team needs to first test them for viability and compatibility with existing /e/ code.
We will be sharing some documentation to explain what each app does.

Feb 26 Update
/e/ is hiring
One of the frequent excuse I have been making on this forum has been the lack of enough resources to complete tasks on time . To address that issue w/e/ is hiring skilled folks for different positions. If you think you have what it takes to be a part of a dynamic team pl send in your resume.
Modification to the Testing Process
Those of you who have helped with the testing of /e/ are aware that the way we do it involves flashing a test build manually first. Subsequent builds come in OTA. A return to dev build again requires a manual flash the first time.
We are working on a modification by way of which users will get an option in the developer options. There they will get to choose between Stable, Dev and Test builds and the corresponding build will be downloaded on the device. This should make it easier for more users to help with the testing efforts.
Only point to be noted is that the test builds could be unstable and as such not to be flashed if the device is a daily driver. We will share more details on this soon.
Week 8 devices as mentioned in this thread have been released and are available for download here
Stay tuned for more updates…
