There is no /e/ OS build that I know of.

A quick search of XDA Forums shows there is an unofficial LIneage OS 18 ROM for this device, but

  1. The ROM includes GApps, instead of shipping without GApps and having users install GApps (or microG) themselves, which is what most LOS ROMs do

  2. The maintainer provides a link to their kernel source tree, but I could not find the device tree and vendor blobs, nor the manifest that would tell me where those files can be found.

  3. There doesn’t seem to be a large community around this device - most of the available custom ROMs seem to be built by the the same developer

So there would be some work to do to make an /e/ ROM. ‘Just waiting’ probably won’t get you anywhere: there will only be an /e/ ROM for this device if someone starts trying to make it, and there’s no sign that anyone in this forum is ready to do that.

You could ask in the LOS ROM thread, but complaining isn’t likely to achieve anything (except annoy the ROM maintainer). People build and maintain custom ROMs voluntarily, for fun, and you cannot expect that they will do something to meet your needs.

If you want an /e/ ROM for this device, it looks to me like you would need to start making it yourself :slight_smile:
