Thanks to our great team of developers, /e/ OS for Galaxy S8 ("dreamlte" - Exynos version) is now available for download and tests.
It's still in beta but so far everything seems to work well.
Get your hands on it, and please report any issue you may encounter at gitlab.e.foundation.
https://doc.e.foundation/devices/dreamlte/

Want to help translating various parts of /e/ OS ?
We have a new tool and documentation for this!
It's open to everyone - all details at:
https://community.e.foundation/t/translation-of-e-os-text-in-different-languages/12859

After several months of development, the /e/OS installer is going through its final refinements and we would like to give you a chance to test it before it is officially released.

It will allow anyone to skip the obscure process of flashing their phone by command lines and terminal windows. 💻

📣 In order to make remote work easier in those difficult times, we have set up a video-conferencing service, open to all, on a EU-based server with more than 500Mbps bandwidth.
It's based on Jitsi, and of course, we have set it to ensure full privacy. Feel free to use the service at: https://visio.ecloud.global
Using this URL will automatically create a new room for your own usage. You can also force your own room adding your room name to the end of the URL, like: visio.ecloud.global/my_own_room_name
It can be used using a web browser on any OS, and also on /e/OS using the Jitsi application that is available in the /e/ app installer. Enjoy and stay safe!

📣 To all /e/ OS users: in the latest system updates, the Tasks application synchronization is disabled. This means that after updating and restarting the system, the Tasks application won't synchronize their data with the user's /e/ cloud account.
In order to have the Tasks application synchronize again to ecloud.global, please enable it again in Settings.
A simple tutorial is available at: https://doc.e.foundation/how-to-enable-tasks-sync
We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks to a partnership with Fairphone, we have been able to port /e/OS to the Fairphone 3.
/e/-Fairphone3 can now be ordered from our website at https://e.foundation/product/e-os-fairphone-3/
/e/OS for Fairphone3 is also available for download at:
https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP3/

It's now available! The first beta of the /e/OS "easy" installer is now publicly available for download and test!
For now it supports the following phones: Samsung Galaxy S6, S7, S7 Edge, S9 and S9 Plus (all Exynos based models).
If you have one of these phones and want to install /e/OS, don't wait: https://snapcraft.io/easy-installer

But you can help have this installer support your smartphone of choice: its source code is available (https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/tools/easy-installer) and you can adapt the installation scripts to more devices, based on the installation procedures already available online.
Discuss this project on the dedicated discussion thread at: https://community.e.foundation/t/e-os-easy-installer-how-to-help-it-support-multiple-devices/15288

Also, the installer is currently running on Linux and we are looking for contributors to help release it for both MacOS and Windows too. Feel free to join and help! As the software is in Java, it’s mostly packaging.
