I’m looking to get a custom ROM that has good compatibility with my device. Would you recommend /e/? I couldn’t find a tutorial on how to install it with Linux but I don’t think it should be that hard to figure out.

    It’s pretty solid. I use it daily and don’t have any big problems. Install is simple. Just install adb and fastboot from your linux repository. This should cover the most of the installation requirements.

      Sounds pretty straight forward. What is compatibility like? Have you tried any banking apps?

        I have ING app, it works seamlessly through microG but I don’t need it for basic use of the app. I don’t use my phone to pay for stuff.

        Haven’t had any major apps not work on it. Except one banking app for a while in the beginning, but works now

        I have no banking apps on that phone, sorry. So I don’t know if they work.

      I don’t know if installing from the repositories is such a fantastic idea. I’ve had instances where I’ve almost fucked up a device because I installed the ones from the repositories and they weren’t new enough. I would recommend downloading the ones from Google directly.

      Edit: the cli platform-tools

        Sounds like either a terrible bug or user error. Which in both cases should be fixed.

          Well, when I tried the one directly from the repository, my version of Android would not boot, but then I downloaded the one directly from Google and did the same commands. And it booted. So yeah, either it was a bug or something.
