- /e/OS V2 is a de-Googled Android operating system with Android Auto support, UI enhancements, and privacy improvements.
- The update includes features like a new launcher app, App Lounge app store with privacy ratings, and a “wall of shame” for tracking apps.
- Based on LineageOS 20, /e/OS 2.0 offers bug fixes, security updates, and performance enhancements, along with device-specific improvements.
Love the project, but I would really like if they stopped looking like a bootleg iOS. Stock android is fine, especially after Material 3. Also the name is annoying to type in an URL bar.
Yeah, I had to install a different launcher Bliss is not my style. I’ve been enjoying lawnchair tho
I’m using e/OS - the operating system with the most annoying name - for ~5 years now with my Fairphones. Banking works, App Lounge is anonymous and it syncs everything with my Nextcloud. I really like it.
I want to check their source code but it looks like e/os goes closed source. Want an example? They say Bliss Launcher is version 3. But where is it? In their gitlab repo is the last one 1.8:
This is really weird :(

Put another launcher. The guts are pretty cool
This makes me wanna try it now 😆
Those icons are terrible.
Why?
Just not a fan of them, they feel kinda iOS to me. That doesn’t take away from the awesomeness of the ROM though.
They’re good icons cause you’re right: they are blatantly cribbed from iOS. Moving away from Google doesn’t mean making the whole OS look like Apple’s…
I have heard that said by a few people about e/OS. I though they looked slightly better than the previous ones, but I can understand the criticism
I’m really interested in trying it if one day I have to get a private phone on top of my company’s iPhone.
It’s great that we start having alternatives to Apple and Google again.
Wonder if they’ll make fold friendly versions
Use eOS for couple of years now. Not a fan of the Bliss launcher, but its the easiest thing to download a different one. I use Simple Laucher from fdroid.

Does android auto support need a change to the custom rom to work? From their site it just says to install a few apps and it’ll work. I have yet to try a custom rom. I’ll do that when my current phone goes out of support.
