Cromite only supports arm64 and x86
EDIT: mulch only supports A8 and higher
The Cromite GitHub page also says it supports arm32-v7a right at the beginning (for some reason later in the README it lists the platforms again without it, someone probably forgot to change it), I believe it's the file in the releases called arm_ChromePublic.apk (not arm64), so try that
(Note: it does say it's Android 7 or higher though, so it still might not work unless you try some custom ROMs)
Ok I guess I am actually blind. I checked many times and didn't see the arm file. Now I see it. I'll try it when I can.
Also the phone is already on a custom ROM. There are newer ones but they break absolutely everything, including IMEI.
I agree for Cromite, but maybe you should double check Mulch? On fdroid it is said only armeabi-v7a...
EDIT : As seen on another comment maybe try to install Lineage, what's the phone reference?
Mulch needs A8.
The phone is already on LOS. There are no newer ROMs for it that don't break 99% of the features, including IMEI.
