Thats very cool!
evaluating this built, this is what I did to install,
1 boot to Fast boot.
2 fastboot boot twrp_3.7.0-12-spes-2023.08.21.img
3 adb sideload e-2.4-u-20241105-CUSTOM-spes.zip
4 reboot to recovery
5 factory reset
6 reboot to system
7 keyboard is missing - install AnySoftKeyboard (transfer apk from laptop)

What works?

  • Bluetooth audio
  • internet
  • fingerprint is working
  • Batterylife is good
  • GPS is working
    ~ install my favorite launcher
  • Trust - signed with public key
  • long press for flashlight, causes unable to shutdown/restart the phone.
    If there is more, I will let you know.
    Thanks a lot for this initial build.

Wow that’s magnificent! Will be on to it pretty soon!

On what “other” rom is this one based? Crdroid has not recieved any updates for this phone since last june. It. doesn’t look like it will receive any more either.

Just curious. :wink:

Good build! What I did to update:
on your phone:
volume up + power
apply update
apply from adb

on laptop:
adb sideload e-2.7-u-20250214-CUSTOM-spes.zip
error: recovery :Signature Verification Failed whole-file
error 21
Install anyway? YES

I noticed that mobile data (LTE or 4G) is not working. Can you test?
version that I use is: e-2.7-u-20250214-CUSTOM-spes.zip

For e-2.7-u-20250214-CUSTOM-spes.zip and e-2.9-a14-20250416-CUSTOM-spes.zip, I had this issue, but it was resolved by creating an APN (Access Point Name).

Thank you, that works.
