Hi! I have an old smartphone, an LG L5 II, it would be nice to install /e/ on it. Without google dependencies it would also be faster
It’s a #CyanogenMod -era device, but unfortunally there’s no usable (re)sources for the E460 variant…
Dunno if someone is still interested there, but you can try to stimulate the \e\ build in this XDA 3ad:

Hey I was the main person building Roms when this device first came out. The L5 II and L3 II both had a meditek processor which proved to be difficult to find resources for. The bootloader was locked which meant we could not install a custom recovery.
We managed to find a workaround by creating an script that stopped android from loading and booted a custom recovery image. This was not a complete fix and we could not install any roms that changed to much of the system.
The roms being released were stock based roms with removed bloat and performance improvements.
The boot loader was eventually unlocked on a Russian forum.
Building from source may prove challenging, I would suggest looking into MIUI or Lewa for anyone who still has this phone.

/e/OS can be build only with Nougat LOS/CM14 sources (android 7.1.2 based) or higher…
