v1.0 build released on
- R
- Q
v1.0 was not released on
- Pie
- Oreo
- Nougat
For Pie, Oreo and Nougat the official /e/OS support draws to a close.
Reasons for dropping official support are:
- newly released applications like App Lounge, Advanced privacy code has not been customized for these OS versions.
- lack of dedicated ROM Maintainers
- no support upstream (Lineage dropped support for Pie sometime back)
- device trees will continue to exist in the Gitlab and users with build skills can create custom ROMs on these builds
- Security patches and vendor patches for the Pie, Oreo and Nougat code will be updated based on availability. Google stops security patches for OS after some time. Then it depends on developers from various communities to backport the patches.

OTA OS upgrades planned
Status: To be released / planned
- Samsung s7 / s7 edge OTA OS upgrade on v1.0 code
- Released
- The builds are being released for a couple of hours on a daily basis. This is to check in case any user has issues with the upgrade builds. While we have tested these builds, we are being cautious with our releases. These releases will resume on Monday 13 June.
- The next stage in the release process for the S7/s7+ will be to keep the builds active the whole day, instead of only a few hours as at present.
- Note : The older OS builds will not be visible on these devices as the builds would on Nougat or Oreo and can confuse some users.
Update 15 June An issue has been reported while upgrading Signal app on the s7 /s7+ Please check this thread for details
Upcoming OS OTA upgrades

- FP3
- ETA not available
OTA OS upgrade means the upgrade from /e/OS Nougat or Oreo to /e/OS Q will be delivered Over the Air (OTA). The OTA upgrade will be available on official builds only. Users who have unofficial or custom builds will not get the notification to install the upgrade build. They will have to manually download and flash the Q builds once they are released.
Difference between /e/OS build types
Guidelines for ROM Builders - Unofficial and Custom
- Docker image was updated recently
- If you use Docker for your builds, upgrade to this Docker build before running your custom-builds.
- Those building using traditional repo sync method refer android_prebuilts_prebuiltapks_lfs
- You will have to install git-lfs (
sudo apt-get install git-lfs) - After completing a repo sync, you will have to run
repo forall -c 'git lfs pull'
- You will have to install git-lfs (
Reason behind these changes:
-
Due to the large size of the android_prebuilts_prebuiltapks we have switched to using LFS, and now you will need to refer to android_prebuilts_prebuiltapks_lfs
-
We will have the device porting team publish some documentation around this
