Good day, steadfasterX! I have the latest firmware / e / from January 21st. I have a problem with the camera, it won't start. I have vs986, UsU, magisk is not installed. Logcat (I hope I did it right): https://pastebin.com/Swx6r10m
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][P][F500,LS991,H81x,US991,VS986] /e/ OS | BYE Google, HELLO Privacy!
- Thread starter steadfasterX
- Start date
Follow FAQ 7 and share the boot logs. Did you ever flashed the videolagfix?
Also, data transfer via USB stopped working. The phone charges, but does not transfer files, the PC does not see the phone, but WFUL sees. The camera is working! The reason was the crooked driver for the USB input. After reinstalling the driver, the data transfer via USB started working, and the camera too!
I have a question: does NFC payment via GPAY work on /e/OS and LOS 16?
Hi,
I just wanted to say a little thank you
I am experienced with Linux but this was my first time tampering with a phone. I installed this custom /e/ image on my LG G4 H815 and it went very smooth. I appreciate the development and the very well-written instructions!

Do you provide (read-only) access to the source code of this custom ROM in some way? If yes, could you please send a link? I wasn't able to find it on my own.
Thanks! I saw that build manifest but wasn't familiar with such kinds of build processes to actually recognize this as (a pointer to) the source code
ah ok. usually you do:Thanks! I saw that build manifest but wasn't familiar with such kinds of build processes to actually recognize this as (a pointer to) the source code

I’m in dire need of help…
I clean flashed version
My findings so far :
And the most worrying thing :
I’m now out of my house with no wifi and can only use voice call. I’m typing from a computer with very limited access (both network and hardware) so I can’t upload any log at the moment, but I can look for something in particular and type it manually if needed.

I clean flashed version
1.0-p-20210307-CUSTOM-h815 on my H815 some days ago, and everything seemed to be working fine… until I eventually got out of my house (and out of wifi range), and realized I don’t have any mobile data service ! :-OMy findings so far :
- PIN code is being asked at boot (… usually)
- Service triangle icon is not empty
- Phone network is being autodetected
- Phone network can be manually selected (and changes nothing)
- Phone provider name is displayed
- Voice calling works !
- SMS works (a bit unreliably maybe)
- Switching mobile data on/off displays the small X on the service triangle
- Mobile data type is displayed (right now it’s only EDGE, but I’ve seen it range from GPRS to 3G to H)
*#*#4636#*#* to enter the test menu, everything looks fine, except :- "Mobile data" is disconnected
- "Roaming" is deactivated (though I *did* activate it)
- Ping test fails with "
Fail(2)" : "Fail: IOException"
And the most worrying thing :
- In the "Select radio band mode", I can only switch between "Automatic", and "United States"… and I live in France !

I *think* I may have pinpointed the issue !
In Settings > Networking and Internet > Mobile data (?) > Advanced settings, I can change "Preferred network" to 2G, 3G, or "LTE (preferred)".
If I then go to the hidden Test menu by typing
Now, WCDMA is a US thing, AFAIK.
Also, if I switch the preferred network to "LTE only", the network signal drops dead immediately.
My hypothesis is that this ROM version lacks the settings to operate with the european protocols and/or frequency. Am I making sense ?

If I then go to the hidden Test menu by typing
*#*#4636#*#*, I can check/select the "real" preferred network, and here is the mapping table :| In Settings>Networking... | In Test menu (*#*#4636#*#*) |
| 2G | GSM only |
| 3G | WCDMA preferred |
| LTE (preferred) | LTE/UMTS auto (PRL) |

So, after hours of troubleshooting and LOTS of help from @steadfasterX and other people on Telegram here : https://t.me/sfX_Android, I eventually solved my problem… basically by reflashing the lastest stock ROM, then flashing /e/ OS again.Hello @steadfasterX !

And the most worrying thing :
I’m wondering if this version has the correct basebands for non-US data networks, but I’m really not knowledgeable about this.
- In the "Select radio band mode", I can only switch between "Automatic", and "United States"… and I live in France !

So if it ever happens to you :
- Make a backup of you data partition with SHRP/TWRP.
- Format data with SHRP/TWRP.
- Flash the latest/best/most appropriate stock ROM (either a KDZ with LG tool, of just
boot.imageandsystem.imagewithfastboot) - REBOOT TO SHRP/TWRP *FIRST* (otherwise your recovery will be replace by LG’s at first stock ROM boot and you’ll have to reinstall SHRP/TWRP again).
- Boot (and test mobile data).
- Flash /e/ OS again with SHRP/TWRP.
- Restore your data backup with SHRP/TWRP.
- Boot.
- Hope for the best !
Warning :
If you have a schema/PIN/password/lockscreen or whatever, deactivate it before making your backup. My phone wouldn't recognize my schema after restoration.
So once again : THANKS @steadfasterX !!!
(This guy deserves so much praise but I can only like his messages once, so help me by liking him too !)

What is eSpeak (com.reecedunn.espeak, v1.48.15.20) and is it a default app in the /e/ build?
I happened to notice eSpeak in my installed apps list in Aurora Store after upgrading that to v4. I don't recall seeing it before, and it is installed as a system app, so I could not uninstall it.
I happened to notice eSpeak in my installed apps list in Aurora Store after upgrading that to v4. I don't recall seeing it before, and it is installed as a system app, so I could not uninstall it.
its is a TTS (text-to-speech) engine and yes its included in /e/
Good to know! In that case, I'll add it to the Blacklist in Aurora.
I had tested some questionable apps via Aurora and hoped something malicious didn't sneak in...
Also, I'm not sure if updating to Aurora Store v4 manually is ok or if I should have waited for an /e/ build with it included. An update notification tempted me to press the button and so far everything is working fine.
v4 is not "just" a complete UI re-write but also the backend (how apps are accessed) has totally changed. This results in often having login issues from my experience. From what I heard by others it happens more often when using anonymous (i.e not using your google account). other then that it works fine so far. a disadvantage of their new approach is e.g. in v3 you can spoof your country and get apps which are country-specific. due to their major change in the backend this does not work anymore thats why some / many? apps are missing..
The extent of the changes is why I'm surprised/happy that it's working after updating manually.
I had no problems with anonymous login except once when the token server was down for a bit.
The lack of geo-restricted apps in V4 was a result of increased privacy protection, but due to popular demand, the functionality has been restored, though still disabled by default: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...t-march-20-2021.3739733/page-78#post-84739245

****
These builds are for all G4 models: official unlocked and UsU'd devices
****
UsU? http://bit.do/unlockg4
About /e/
/e/ is an a mobile ecosystem (ROM + onlines 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!
... 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 LineageOS so a very stable base
- 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 my LOS 16 builds.
- Finally I had the time to setup an own OTA server.. so 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
Difference from pure /e/ or: why are the builds CUSTOM?
- The /e/ app store has been removed completely (read the FAQ why I did this drastic change)
- AuroraStore has been added (pls always use "anonymous" unless you need paid apps to avoid bans)
- F-Droid has been added (The OpenSource alternative store. First search for any apps here!)
- Dozens of F-Droid repositories are pre-installed (activate them with just a finger tip! That's needed to ensure you only get what you want)
The above changes are the reasons why my builds are of the type "CUSTOM" and not "UNOFFICIAL".
This is according to the rules /e/ defined.
Known issues:
Keep in mind that this is brand new stuff so it may (still) contain unknown issues!
So back up regularly and frequently!
- Check the current issues at the github tracker (feel free to help, provide logs etc!)
- If you find a bug not listed, follow the instructions here and provide me with the logs: FAQ #1
Requirements
- Your device need to be unlocked either officially (h815 international or h811) or by UsU
- Your bootloader stack should be on lastest MM version for your model. That is e.g. 20p for the H815 models or 20x for H811.
So.. NO SUPPORT ON LOWER bootloader stacks then the latest MM version for your model
... and NO SUPPORT for the BETA v29A as well!!
-> for your convenience I have created TWRP flashable files for that !!!! (click)
Of course ensure you just use files for your model, your ARB and UsU'd or not. If unsure ask. - in particular that means this thread is for:
F500, H810, H811, H812, H815 (official unlocked or UsU'd), H819 , LS991, US991, VS986 - Latest TWRP - PREVIEW build: click or SHRP build: click
- Do a full Nandroid backup before doing anything!
Installation
- This single very first step is for UsU'd devices only (SKIP when you have an official unlocked model):
If you have ever flashed the UsU baseband package: Clean flash the modem partition from your backup in TWRP.
If you do not know if you ever flashed it simply re-flash your modem partition again and you can be sure. This can't do any harm.
If you have no backup:
- TWRP flashable MM modems (N will not work) - Ensure your bootloader is current! You will have issues if you are not on the latest bootloader stack. Read the above Requirements topic to find a link to TWRP flashable files.
- Full clean install as described here (FAQ "#2") is highly recommended. 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!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q #0: Why is the /e/ App store not included??? It is GREAT!
Mainly due to security and privacy concerns. Wth? I thought /e/ is secure and privacy focused? Yes it is but.. read on:
Q #01: I want to report an issue. What is the proper way to do so?
I'm glad that you are asking: before doing so check the KNOWN ISSUES topic in the OP and ofc the other FAQ's listed here!
If you encountered a kernel panic follow FAQ #6 in this post instead.
If you have issues with "just" the boot process follow FAQ #7 for a very easy way to grab the boot logs.
if you have an audio issue follow FAQ #10 instead.
If your issue is not listed there click here to proceed:
Q #02: I want to install clean, how? What is a clean install? What is the recommended way to flash a new ROM version?
A clean install ensures that there are no leftovers from any previous install. One can say that there are 2 phases of a clean flash:
Q #03: Are there any plans or a chance of official /e/ builds?
TL;DR answer is: no.
Background:
Q #04: Will this ROM support / pass SafetyNet?
When you install Magisk you can hide and so yes you might be able to pass SafetyNet. Which can change every day though because even when that might work atm you should note the following:
Q #05: It looks like the CPU cores 5 and 6 are disabled - how can I fix that?
TLDR;
There is no fix required! it is fully ok when those are idle. they get hot plugged whenever needed.
Details:
Q #06: I get a kernel panic or green/purple/blue screen how to grab logs for this?
When you encounter a kernel panic and you are able to reboot without taking out the battery (taking out the battery will erase RAM and so erase the needed logs):
Q #07a: I get a kernel panic on boot or having other boot issues but the pstore log are empty! What should I do?
Q #07b: How can I provide a clean boot log?
Since a while there is a very easy way to provide debug logs for the boot process. Before my convenient logging you had to follow FAQ #1 to grab them and it was a bit of PITA for some users.
So here you go for a much easier way:
Q #8: upgrade your bootloader stack only?! Read here how:
Check the OP of this thread which has TWRP flashable files linked.
Q #9: Is there an /e/ specific FAQ?
Sure:
Q #10: issues with audio (e.g. echo's, silence on one or the other site, ..)? Read here how to provide a specific log for that:
Do the following steps:
Q #11: I'm scared about that microG , I don't want to expose my phone so is this /e/ version a security risk?
First of all you need a lot of trust installing ANY custom ROM. A developer can do nasty things right? Besides that yes microG allowing to let apps act like as they are another app, also known as signature spoofing. This CAN be a good and a bad thing. Read on why my builds are different:
Q #12: I have graphic glitches / issues, what can I do?
My builds using skiaGL instead of OpenGL since a while. skia is the new and faster renderer coming with pie by default but it can cause graphic glitches in some applications and/or situations.
Is there any fix for skiaGL coming? No, details here .
To check if your current ROM version is using skiaGL do this:

I've decided to create a Telegram group for all stuff around Android : here
and another one if you want to keep up2date whenever I build something (TWRP, SHRP, LOS, /e/, ...): here
New builds are cooking...
I have added a test in my jenkins build process to ensure that the unified device tree is working as it should.
Unifying our device tree makes it much easier to maintain and to add other not-yet added models - while it comes with the risk something goes wrong when it comes to blobs.
Nevertheless:
I would highly recommend doing the following (I have done that in my manual builds but you get it from jenkins - so there is a tiny little chance of bad luck .. ):

(See the FAQ #2 of the LOS thread how to do this)
- If you encounter any overheat or lagging issues follow this:

- Platform Security Patch: 2020-08-05
- Due to some user reports I reverted the GPS updates by kessaras. Please let me know if GPS works better with this build or not.
- New signing keys. You may now the "Trust" feature by LOS telling you if the build is trustworthy or not?! It checks if selinux is enforcing (it is in my builds) and if non-default signing keys (I sign my builds with my own ones) are in use.
The signing keys are required to allow installing OTA updates (it downloads, checks if the signature is mine, rejects if not or accepts and installs if).
Unfortunately I had to re-generate the signing keys that means you have to install this new build as usual in TWRP.
All builds after that one will fully support OTA. sorry for that
- ...... and more. Read "Full details"
- Full details:
kernel: commits
g4-common tree: commits
g4 unified tree: commits
/e/OS: gitlab
Keep in mind that almost all pie ROM's sharing the same common device tree (or main parts of it), same model device trees and for sure the same kernel - so you can enjoy most fixes for any pie ROM available.. :victory:
ok enough of words, just one more thing:
flash and enjoy this privacy focused and totally Google-Free experience
