v0.18
- Released on dev and stable branches
- Issues detected and closed in v0.18
Pending
- dev Nougat builds - still with development team
Issues in the build on nougat causing the delay.
- Need to take a call on delay on devices still stuck on Nougat.
Options we have are- Invest time and resource on getting the builds updated…this will be done where possible…some devices do not have support for newer OS versions or have hard disk partition size issues
- Drop devices from supported list but code remains in the /e/ project. This will allow users who can build ROMs to create unofficial builds
- Would be great if users with ROM building skills would come up and volunteer as ROM Maintainers for these
older
devices
To understand difference between /e/ build types read this guide
v0.19 ( under development )
- Still under development
- Check the issues marked for fix as part of v0.19
Note this list will see a lot of changes as some issue will be moved to subsequent builds
/e/ R rollout
- Week 36 devices released …jpeg images do not show up in the documentation as we have not received them as yet.
- Check out the Release plan for /e/ R on new and supported devices
Update 18 Sep This weeks builds have been delayed due to issues with the build infrastructure. Expect the release early next week.
List can be modified in case builds fail or there are other issues during the build process
/e/ R Installation Tip
- Devices with Stock 11 ROM should flash stock before flashing /e/R .
Pl note this will wipe out your existing data. Take backups if required.
Manual upgrade is required as the default Updater application does not upgrade the OS and on detecting a different OS tends to block the installation. Read the next section for details
OS OTA Upgrade
- OS OTA upgrade of the S9 / S9+ international variant to Q…denoted by the ‘F’ in the device codename for e.g. SM-G960F
OS OTA will not work if the device is the Korean variant …denoted by the ‘N’ in the device codename for e.g. SM-960N
- The plan is to first get upgrades out on devices we sell as that is a smaller subset of supported devices. To get this working on all supported devices will require a massive development effort and may not be possible
- Testing successfully done internally. Testing could not start last week as the developer has some other tasks pending. We will start testing this week with our team of volunteers.
Update 18 Sep This week’s testing has been delayed due to issues with the build infrastructure. Expect the testing to start early next week.
