As always, you take responsibility for what you do to your phone. Don't go filing civil lawsuits against me if your alarm fails to get you up for work in the morning.
The Hell's An /e/?
"/e/ is a non-profit project, in the public interest. We build open-source mobile operating systems that respect users’ data privacy. We’re an international core team of experienced entrepreneurs, developers and designers, and a growing community of contributors." --taken from their website.
Basically think Lineage AOSP but instead of just leaving gapps out of it, they're trying to take it a step further and really give Google the finger. Their ultimate goal for the future is to make a mobile OS featuring an entire ecosystem (/e/cosystem?) that respects users' privacy and avoids the "big-companies-that-sell-your-data". They will have alternatives to the most popular Google services baked in: F-Droid instead of Google Play, something like Telegram instead of Google Hangouts, Lawnchair instead of a proprietary Google launcher, etc. As of the time I'm writing this message this is still really early on in the /e/ project though, so don't expect too much just yet.
What Works?
Exactly the same as what's in Lineage 16 for Payton, WITH THE ADDITION OF VIPER AUDIO (YOU NEED TO USE V2.7.X FROM MAGISK THOUGH)
What Don't Work?
There's no market for apps built in yet (or web browser) so be prepared to sideload your own APKs over ADB to get that stuff on for now, until I fix it in a new build
Where's My Source Code, and How'd You Build this?
Don't worry, this took me forever to find too. I used the v1-pie branch which is Lineage 16.0 based
Here's the roomservice XML I used so you don't have to manually add all the trees yourself:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="LineageOS/android_device_motorola_payton" path="device/motorola/payton" remote="github" />
<project name="LineageOS/android_device_motorola_sdm660-common" path="device/motorola/sdm660-common" remote="github" />
<project name="LineageOS/android_kernel_motorola_msm8998" path="kernel/motorola/msm8998" remote="github" />
<project name="LineageOS/android_packages_resources_devicesettings" path="packages/resources/devicesettings" remote="github" />
<project name="LineageOS/android_external_bson" path="external/bson" remote="github" />
<project name="LineageOS/android_system_qcom" path="system/qcom" remote="github" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_motorola" path="vendor/motorola" remote="github" />
</manifest>
To get the custom /e/ apps in your build you have to edit the portion of vendor/lineage/config/common.mk that talks about "Custom CM Packages". Go to /prebuilts/prebuiltapks for a list of folders' names you can add to this list. Note that not everything will add properly, and adding some things may mess up your ROM, so experiment at your own risk
Where's My Download Link?
- MY MEGA BUILD FOLDER
- To run this ROM you need to have installed Pie stock firmware for the phone. If you were on Oreo stock and never upgraded before flashing this ROM things will probably break. Look for the latest firmware for you specific variant HERE.
Who Should You Give a Special Thanks To?
- The /e/ team (including but not limited to Gael Duval)
- All the guys here on the payton forums for their hard work in building the trees for this thing
- @bcrichster for showing me how to get the /e/ apps to build with the ROM on this thing so I don't have to steal from AOSP anymore, also for letting me steal his manifest to build with
- XDA user erfanoabdi for his excellent work maintaining Lineage 16 trees for Payton to get this thing stable
