install /e/ on an officially supported device SM-G870F klteactive
Problem :
TWRP for klteactive klteactivexx do not exist. Can't install the Pie build using TWRP for klte/kltexx ( unofficial lineageOS-recovery must be used ) Can't run OTA update
Because :
klteactive codename was forgotten in the ZIP's metadata
klteactivexx is mentioned, klte is mentioned, ( to match unified TWRP ? ) but klteactive is not mentioned !
The build process have to be corrected :
Modify /META-INF/com/android/metadata
we will add klteactive in the last line
pre-device=klteactivexx,kltewill become
pre-device=klteactivexx,klteactive,klte
here to compare with /e/ stock metadata for my serranoltexx
