Summary
Increase the number of devices supported by the Easy Installer. I am proposing this as there is a alternative installer emerging (named: OpenAndroidInstaller) that allows to install various custom ROMs (including /e/) on 52 different Android devices. As this tool is open source software, /e/ developers might benefit from those 3rd party developments in order to improve easy installers capabilities.

Description
What is the current behavior?
/e/'s Easy Installer currently covers 20 devices.
What is the improved behavior?
The alternative tool OpenAndroidInstaller supports in total 52 devices
What does it bring?
- An extended version of the Easy Installer covering a larger number of devices may attract more users to join the /e/ ecosystem
- An extended version of the Easy Installer may contribute that a larger number of used devices will have a 2nd (or 3rd) life
