Hi,
I’m new to /e/ using this device.
I’m coming from lineageOS so I just
- restarted to bootloader from recovery
- adb push e.v19.zip /media (pushed ROM)
- wipe system dalvik etc.
- installed rom from zip file
- restart
It’s a quite old device but it worked fine and now, thanks to /e/, I hope I can still use it for quite a bit longer and keeping it updated (at least security updates).
I have not registered any /e/ account to use your cloud services (I have my own) but in case any dev needs to check or test anything I’m glad to do it (it’s a production device though)
So far so good 
, hardware works as expected (haven’t tested GPS yet), changed Bliss launcher to Launchair, no issues with battery drain, …
