Question Request /e/ foundation OS port on Xiaomi Mi5

Question Request /e/ foundation OS port on Xiaomi Mi5 - /e/OS Project

Hi,
Some time ago I have read an article about the /e/ foundation and its goal to offer to everybody the chance to have a free mobile OS. I think that it's a really good idea but unfortunately the os is not yet available on the Xiaomi Mi5.
So I give you a link to get more information and to make a request for our device!
Sorry for my poor english

Flash lineageOS with microG its same stuff

I know this response is late by a few years, but Please post device requests only in the /e/OS Forums.

Hi @Kabula2000,
the Mi 5 - "gemini" is now officially supported by /e/OS,
actually A11/R based

The version of Lineage tested in that study had gApps installed, so it is unsurprising it was leaking data to Google. LineageOS without gApps was not tested, but there is nor reason to think that it, or LIneageOS for MicroG would leak any more information than /e/OS. in fact, the original paper on which that article was based (which can be found at https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/Android_privacy_report.pdf) states (my emphasis)
> On all of the other handsets the Google Play Services and Google
> Play store system apps send a considerable volume of data to Google,
> the content of which is unclear, not publicly documented and Google
> confirm there is no opt out from this data collection. LineageOS
> collects no data beyond this data collected by Google and so is
> perhaps the next most private choice after /e/OS.

And I can also read "In summary, we find that /e/OS collects essentially no data and in that sense is by far the most private of the Android OS variants studied"

Yes, and without gApps installed, vanilla LineageOS and Lineage OS for MicroG - will collect the same amount of data as /e/OS.
So, in terms of data sent to Google, the earlier comment

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
is essentially correct

reading the old white paper published by the /e/ team some years ago, they says they remove code still in lineage that makes calls to gogol.
the LeOS G.S.I. maintainer say the same, so e/OS is in fact
( LineageOS sources -- google ) + microG + nextcloud

[ROM][OFFICIAL] RattlesnakeOS [Android 9.0]

Intro
This is a bit different than most postings here, as I'm not providing any binaries to install on your phone and instead providing a simple tool, rattlesnakeos-stack, to build your own OS based on AOSP on a regular basis, with your own signing keys, and your own OTA updates. This probably will be interesting to a small subset of users as it does cost money to run this infrastructure in AWS.
What is RattlesnakeOS
RattlesnakeOS is privacy focused Android OS based on AOSP for Google Pixel phones. It is my migration strategy away from CopperheadOS (hence the name similarity) which is no longer maintained.
Features:
Based on latest AOSP 9.0 (Android P)
Support for Google Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL
Monthly software and firmware security fixes delivered through built in OTA updater
Maintain verified boot with a locked bootloader just like official Android but with your own personal signing keys
Latest Chromium browser and webview
Latest F-Droid client and privileged extension
Free of Google’s apps and services
What is rattlesnakeos-stack
Rather than providing random binaries of RattlesnakeOS to install on your phone, I've gone the route of creating a cross platform tool, rattlesnakeos-stack, that provisions all of the AWS infrastructure needed to continuously build your own personal RattlesnakeOS, with your own signing keys, and your own OTA updates. It uses AWS Lambda to provision EC2 spot instances that build RattlesnakeOS and upload artifacts to S3. Resulting OS builds are configured to receive over the air updates from this environment. It only costs a few dollars a month to run (see FAQ for detailed cost breakdown).

How do I set this up?
Head over to the github repo and take a look at the README for full setup, build, and flashing instructions.

Project Fi
Cool stuff, I'm definitely going to try it now! Your repo says that Project Fi will most likely not work, but it runs on the T-Mobile towers. Is there an additional feature that Fi needs? I don't use the e-sim, just a normal nano.

It potentially can work w/ Project Fi if you target just a single supported carrier by manually setting APN settings. I haven't ever tried it as I don't have Project Fi, but here's a post from CopperheadOS subreddit where a user was able to get it working with T-Mobile.

I'm running my first build now! Can't wait to see how this turns out. I just had to build with the custom hosts file. No need for Ad Blockers now!!

Update. The first build finished without a single issue and flashed just fine! Thanks for bringing this to the Pixel line!

How might one create userdebug builds using this stack?

Anyone messing with this?

Nope... And this ROM is a real battery eater, but there is easy solution to this - this ROM + MVK kernel = battery consumption (nearly) same as Lineage OS And there are no problems with camera here (MVK kernel would cause camera crash in most ROMs found here).

@johngalt1 will you update this ROM?
