/e/ R rollout
Status: On Track
-
Last week we released the builds for week 46 and 47.
Builds that Failed I have moved all the devices that failed to build to Week 52. This is the list of devices that failed to build
Xiaomi POCO F3 / Redmi K40 / Mi 11X (alioth) , Google Pixel 4a 5G (bramble) , OnePlus One (bacon) , Google Pixel 4 XL (coral) , Google Pixel 4 (flame), OnePlus ‘8T’ (kebab)
We are facing an issue with devices which came out on Android 11. The team has recently added some technically sound porting experts. Feel confident that they would be able to crack the issue with these devices.

Check out the Release plan for /e/ R on new and supported devices
List gets updated when build fails for specific devices
Installation Tip for /e/R
Devices with Stock 11 ROM should flash the stock ROM first 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 detailsTo find your device codename you can run this command in the console of an adb enabled PC with you phone connected via a usb data cable
$ adb shell getprop ro.product.device

One side effect of this release schedule is that we would be identifying devices that can be dropped from our list of supported devices.
Update 3 Dec Week 48 devices have been released.
v0.19 release issue on S9 / S9+
Status: Work in progress
An issue was reported by some s9 /s9+ users on stable builds. We stopped the releases for these particular devices when the user feedback started coming in. As of now we have received 3-4 user complaints.
- The reason we identified for the issue is that some traffic was not redirected to the correct docker image during a maintenance cycle. This unfortunately resulted in the incorrect code being pushed to user devices. Team to work on action to avoid such issues in future.
Advise to users impacted by this particular issue: Pl write to helpdesk@e.email with all available details
