[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] steadfasterX:
! DISCONTINUED !

​

There are several reasons for this but the most disappointing one is that /e/ stops development and most important: security patching for older Android versions way too quick (for me).

I've integrated the security patches manually (provided by great LOS devs) for some time now but that's not the way I wanted to go when I started with /e/. My hope with /e/ was that they(!) will do that as a minimum which turns out that I was wrong.

Besides this it does not fit my needs anymore as my main focus is privacy and security.

There is so much more to do when it comes to this!

For this reason I don't use and maintain this /e/ build anymore.

If you want to see what fits my needs check out AXP.OS for the 7T pro.

! DISCONTINUED !

About /e/

/e/ is not just another ROM - it is a mobile ecosystem (ROM + online services) that:

is open source

is pro-privacy

is compatible with most existing Android applications

cares about usability

is as far as possible freed from shackles by Google and OEMs

already exists!

It’s

the

alternative to the Apple/Google duopoly on the smartphone.

... so again and just to be clear: /e/ is

not

just a ROM, it is more a complete privacy ecosystem and consists of:

an installable mobile operating system for smartphones, which is forked from Android and strongly “ungoogled”

a set of sorted and improved default open source applications

various online services that are linked to the mobile operating system, such as: a meta search engine for the web, drive (with synchronization), mail, calendar, notes, tasks.

Features

Based on the stable Lineage OS

microG fully pre-installed with Signature Spoofing in

restricted

mode!

All features described on the /e/ page:

What is e

All features and fixes of LineageOS

My builds are all signed with a custom private key for best trust. This also means you have to factory reset when coming from another ROM!

My builds come with full OTA update support :)

... you know that thing which informs you that a new update is there and where you just click to download + install ;)

You can LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER - if you like

Build variants (UNOFFICIAL, CUSTOM)

UNOFFICIAL builds:

full OTA support

no other differences to pure /e/. It is just an unofficial build (if you want to have it official test my builds and report also SUCCESS! this ROM is currently awaiting to get approved by /e/ for official builds)

CUSTOM builds:

2 variants: rooted (magisk) or unrooted

removed: the app "Apps" (see FAQ why)

added: F-Droid, F-Droid priv ext, F-Droid additional repos (disabled by default), AuroraStore, Lawnchair-latest (taken from their TG group), PhoneSky (google play store - patched for microG), Magisk app when choosen the rooted variant

patched with this safetynet patch (this will not bypass safetynet though)

fully patched for AVB / dm-verity support - means you can lock your bootloader! (all builds since 3rd of Sep 2021) - yes even the rooted variant can run on locked bootloader!

SHRP included (accepted by a locked bootloader) - means when you want to use a different recovery you have to flash / re-flash it after flashing / upgrading the ROM. Including this is needed to not brick devices running on locked bootloader.

.. read all the details about locking your bootloader in this post

Known issues:

Keep in mind that this is

brand new stuff

so it may (still) contain unknown issues!

So back up regularly and frequently!

none known (yet)

If you find a bug not listed let me know and SHARE LOGS! -> READ FAQ#1 for how to provide proper logs.

Requirements

Latest TWRP or SHRP build (while I am testing with SHRP only)

Do a full (i.e. not just TWRP/SHRP - as those do not backup your internal storage) backup before doing anything!

Installation

Planning to lock your bootloader?

Read on here

Detailed guide:

follow MSe1969's guide here

Quick guide (assuming you have TWRP/SHRP already):

Full clean install as described here (FAQ #2). DO NOT REPORT ISSUES when you have skipped that step!

Flash /e/

Optional (if you want root): Flash Magisk

Flashing

OpenGapps

?????

NO No no

! you don't want that on a google-free phone! /e/ contains everything you need to live without Google! So flashing OpenGapps on /e/ is like using a bit more secure LOS but that's not the point of /e/. Either try without or go with LOS (imho).

Boot it (will take a bit on first boot!!! be patient!)

Enjoy the most easy way to have a privacy focused and google-free phone!
