I am grateful to the /e/ dev team and the /e/ community here to be able to offer this update to the above CUSTOM_SLIM /e/OS ROM.
In build method and content this is an updated copy of the ROM above, transferred to my phone by adb sideload, I have tested it briefly for communications – all fine. Please tell me if you find different.
The list of apps not found in this CUSTOM_SLIM build.
