Try to install postmarketos and /e/OS on my old android device

Context

I saw that /e/OS and postmarketos work on my old OnePlus 6:

• https://images.postmarketos.org/bpo/v24.12/oneplus-enchilada/

I would like to test these distributions, to see if I can be able to switch from android to somethings more open source.

I easily installed /e/OS on my OnePlus 6. Installation is very clear and fluid, more fluid than the previous Android 11 installed, that is the latest version officially supported by OnePlus. Globally the experience is good so far, some points to note:

• Camera apps keep crashing in certains case (when switching objectif used for example)
• Interface is a little rought, missing round edge
• microG is really working well. Some apps that didn't want to start under LineageOS and does not complains on /e/OS
• GoogleWallet/GooglePay doesn't works
• Interface really looks like iOS 4.X
• By default there is a synchronisation with murena.io and 1Gb is offered
• We have advanced privacy settings (block app trackers, fake Geoloc, hide IP)
• Default store is set to App Lounge

I will not try to install PostMarketOS since the distribution erase the boot sector of my phone. I want to be able to rollback anytime.
