Hi @lm2 welcome to the /e/ forum.

This is the list of Supported devices.

A Samsung A3 (2016) is found on the list. Initially if you look up bacon it is not found. /e/ calls bacon a “Legacy” device and is no longer actively supported. Legacy devices may have dated published builds or #unofficial-builds or #e-devices:custom-builds.

Referring to the Supported devices link above, using Seach Options, one can filter to find older devices which may be hidden by default.

thank you for your reply

in fact its the 20155 device I guess: a300FU.
Regarding the tablet, it’s a samsung GTP8110 (google nexus)

@lm2

So you have

• Samsung, Galaxy A3, a3ulte, SM-A300FU
• Samsung, Nexus 10, manta, Nexus 10

If you were to build /e/ you would want the device tree first.
For a3ulte I find no device tree at Lineage. Unofficial from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-9-0-a3fu-lineageos-16-0-unofficial-for-samsung-galaxy-a3-2015.4011619/ I found

• https://github.com/Galaxy-MSM8916
• https://github.com/Galaxy-MSM8916/android_device_samsung_a3ulte

Building /e/OS for Android 8, Oreo would require high level building expertise !

For manta

• https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_manta
• https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_samsung_manta
  The most recent branch is cm-14.1, Nougat.

There is this (old, 2019) build [CUSTOM BUILD] Google Nexus 10 (manta).

Building /e/OS for Android 7, Nougat would require high level building expertise !
