Device Request – BlackBerry Key2 LE (Android 15) – LineageOS 22.2 as a base for /e/OS

Would be great if someone can fork sources and apply/revert commits that are needed for stable build. Also a patch files for framework base changes would be great

Considering that according to @Axl’s information, development is continuing only for the Key2, but unfortunately not for the Key2 LE, could I ask you, @ronnz98, to build a ROM for the Key2 LE based on that Lineage version from which the 3.5 20260303 version was also made? This ROM should take into account the known issues, so it would exclude the sound recorder, FM radio, music player, and camera, but would include Bliss Weather, App Lounge, and of course the Pastiera keyboard, which is absolutely necessary. And then this would be a kind of final /e/OS version for the Key2 LE devices.

is there something new on a frontline?
I’ve read Lineage 23.2 - Android 16, already appeared a few days ago for K2, but it seems still no version for LE.

I’ve already accepted that LineageOS development for the Key2 LE device has probably come to an end.
However, I would still be grateful if one final /e/OS ROM could be released, as I already described above.

I can do this if someone prepare the sources, i.e. forking the sources with all the commits or reverts that are needed. Especially I need ideally a patch file with apply.sh script on the changes needed for framework base

Hi, is possible to try compile Rom from these sources ?

LOS 22.2 And 23.2 . Thabks

Key2-athena only.

I want to help you, but i have zero knowledge About Rom building, so can not give you any help, sadly :frowning: .

I only got info from First (now non active dev) which things is need to revert.

Thanks.

I used this sources for last build which didn’t work. Potentially now its working as sources has been updated. Nonetheless, its a lot of work to apply the framework base patches. If anyone can do a shell script for applying the patches I can do a build

Hello @ronnz98 , for athena there is new lineage Rom here:

Lineage with new kernel.

And it seems, that sources And all patches are avialiable.

Can you do the build plese? Thanks.

I need also the framework base patches…this is the most work

Great news!
It will be perfect if it would be done.
e/OS is IMHO the best variant od custom rom-s.

Hi, sadly i do not have any sources, the user used some libs from some xiaomi device with same/similar chipset, the trick is only overwrite it in vendor/lib. i can share this here, but firstly i need to get the libs from him and test it on my device, if it really works.

After it i will share it here.

Btw: sadly no success with camera.

E: i Hope to get enough time this weekend to test your athena latest eos build with new kernel. Thanks again for it :slight_smile:
