Go directly to Android 15, do pass Android 14, do not collect $200

Android 15 dropped a few days ago. This reply in this thread states the intent for development to continue with Android 14 and 15:

Any updates on continued Software updates?

We are planning to work on Android 14 and 15 too. Work will be slow but worth it. For example, Android 13 builds are clean, look good, and are smoother/faster.

Android 14 evidently seems possible with this release of LineageOS 21:

[Advanced Users Only][Teracube 2e 2nd Batch (SN: 2021)] LineageOS 21.0 [emerald]

NOTE : These builds ONLY WORK for the Teracube 2e 2nd batch (SN: 2021), and not 1st batch (SN:2020). Please read the differences here carefully and flash accordingly. If you are looking for Lineage for SN:2020 T2e, then please wait builds will be out shortly after. [image] LineageOS is a free, community-built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 14, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device. LineageOS is based on the Android Ope…

Personal opinion, don’t waste your time with 14. Releases have been a bit slow and there was a jump from 11 to 13 (skipping 12) after 13 was already surpassed by 14 (and a few months later, 15 as well). Just jump straight to 15 and maybe you can catch up with the Android releases instead of being roughly 2 versions behind.

Welcome!

Thanks for the feedback.

The team will have to work through Android 14 to go to Android 15, so we will not be skipping a major version on that path.

However, there are migrations and upgrades that have to happen as part of the migration path from Android 13 → Android 14 that will ease the migration from Android 14 → Android 15, so the efforts will build upon and support one another.

Okay, such as?

[Saijin_Naib]

Kernel, TEE, other system apps/libraries, confifuration changes, etc.

Incremental/stepwise updates make these changes easier to test and iterate upon.

[aloha]

Okay. Best of luck, I’m hoping the process of upgrading to Android 14 is speedy since there is a working LineageOS 21 (Android 14) build.

Thanks for your support!

Hi, @aloha we have public beta for Android 14 now for both units. [Public Beta] Android 14.0.1 for Teracube 2e 1st Batch (SN: 2020). Do check it out!

[aloha]

Now I dare you to get Android 15 out before the end of the year. Also /e/OS has even more catching up to do.
