@jarastartalek:
in my case, 4G+ worked with no any touch in settings.

seems no new releases for BB Key2/LE., sadly. Bochenek- the LOS developer left yesterday.
announcement from discord:
I’ve decided to step down from doing Key2 series development. 'T was a good run. Thanks for the cookies. Consider this the last update.
No further support for any ROMs will be provided from me.
he did awesome job on key2 devices, he released latest update for regular key2.
but for ke2le you guys need to be patient.
another guy from the group about unlocking key2 started to developing own version on LOS for key2 and hopefully he will continue in it.
hope, that he will do it for key2 LE as well.
I got error while booting up
Latest update for /e/OS-a15 3.6 using latest sources:
e-3.6-a15-20260322-UNOFFICIAL-athena.zip
e-3.6-a15-20260322-UNOFFICIAL-luna.zip
Seems developer stopped working on this project

thanx you so much!
I will try it as soon as possible.
so sad to read this about stopping work on this project.
is there any chance for continuation?
Hi!
Thank you very much for the 3.6 update, I installed it on my Key2 LE (Luna) device. These are the differences I noticed compared to the previous two versions:
-
Finally there’s a weather app, and I’m happy about that! (it wasn’t in 3.5)
-
The Pastiera keyboard app is missing - it was in 3.5 - this is essential for proper physical keyboard functionality
-
I’m not completely sure, but it seems the fingerprint doesn’t work - it worked in 3.5
-
AppLounge is still missing - it was also missing from 3.5, but it was there in 3.4.
-
Phone, SIM cards, SMS, WiFi, mobile internet work
For now I’ve reverted to version 3.5 20260303 which has proven to be the best for me so far.
Is there a chance to build a ROM that includes Weather, Pastiera, and AppLounge?
Does the fact that you built a 3.6 version mean that based on the currently available Lineage version - where the camera doesn’t work and there are issues with sound playback in some cases, but the essential things work - we’ll be able to create newer and newer /e/OS versions and keep the system up to date?
@ronnz98 Any chance of the change log and if audio, calling and camera is working? Thanks for the work!
Call functionality works for me — I can both make and receive phone calls, and audio works through the earpiece, the loudspeaker, and the stock wired headset as well.
SMS is also working (sending and receiving), both SIM cards are recognized, and both mobile data and Wi-Fi are functioning properly.
The only audio issue I’ve noticed is with apps like NewPipe when playing YouTube videos — for some reason there’s no sound there. However, call audio works perfectly.
What definitely doesn’t work is the camera, and SELinux is also not functioning properly. That said, SELinux doesn’t affect usability, only reduces security somewhat.
In terms of overall functionality, version 3.5 is basically fully working and stable for me — aside from the camera.
UPDATE:
I just tried the FM radio, and it doesn’t work either. In fact! Not only does it not work, but the FM radio also ‘messes up’ the call audio.
Dear @ronnz98 given the known bugs in the currently available Lineage OS for Key2 LE - Luna, would you be kind build a ROM that excludes the Audio Recorder, the Music Player, the Camera and the FM Radio apps — thus freeing up space on the partition — and that includes the App Lounge, the Weather App, and specifically the Pastiera keyboard?
So, I was able to successfully flash my BB K2LE (luna), and I think I’m having a similar keyboard issue - the letters work normally, but the capitals and symbols don’t. Running the 0322 build.
Thank you for being awesome as always, Ronnz!

today, one bad surprise:
I hope this is not end of one very exciting project.
this not end, Sadly the lead developer Bochenek left the project.
another member of the group continues in work on key2, sadly not on key2 LE.
hello, here is the link on github. This dev continues in the development for key2 - athena
Great!
Can we expect some works maybe later on Key2 LE?
Eagerly waiting for next steps!

Great!
you deserve a drink!
tomorrow I will try, I hope to see some improvement.
did somebody already try it?
I installed it on my Luna device, but when booting I’m greeted by a black screen with only a clock in the top left corner and a battery icon in white in the top right. Then an error message appears saying that the setup wizard has crashed. By long-pressing the power button, the power/restart/emergency menu comes up, so I can reboot the device, but after that I’m again met with the same black screen.
I reverted to version 3.5, which (apart from the known shortcomings) is stable, and I think I won’t experiment further. Instead, I’ll install the apps I need and start using the phone. I use it as a secondary device, and for that purpose it’s perfect.
Thank you very much for your effort and the work you put into this, @ronnz98 !

hello, thanks for the rom update 
on athena i am getting error in recovery during sideloading the rom.
failed to read.
i tried re-download the rom, but still the same.
ok, then it seem its still WIP - if anyone knows the developer please let me know when the sources are ready for a stable version
hi, i used different recovery.img - from second rom dev. and flashed your rom successfully, but it seems, that the new developer have some differences in his rom, because the combination of the old and new rom sources seems to not working correctly.
after first boot, there is a black screen and the rom is unusable. i am not familiar with the rom compiling, but it seems he is using the sources with some of his patches on it. i do not know, if is possible to compile it somehow different to get it to work correctly?
or, if is possible to use latest sources from bochenek-fumo.enterprises (the first rom developer) , without the patches from the second dev. and make final rom based on his sources with this changes- this should fix the hardware keyboard imput :
revert commits

rebuild
the resulut should be fully functional rom on athena.
for luna there are still some issues… camera, audio etc.
thanks a lot.
will try to contact him and ask.
His Lineage build is working , but he is using Claude AI for coding and it seems, that it is not worlking with old sources.
