The port to the e2 is actually the UI sim ported to linux on your phone.  This was a pretty big hack and most people weren't happy with it.  I looked into working on it years ago and decided it wasn't worth using.  Recently someone has done a real port of Rockbox as an application to Android.  You can find documentation for it here:

http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/PortingApplication

This provides a guide to the process.  I would start by setting up the tools for your phone so you can compile the version you are running.  Then I would go through the wiki and start working on getting rockbox as an app compiled for your target.

To be clear, the port is to android and it does work.  Theres nothing to email to you.  Whenever you are ready you take that code and begin developing a port of rockbox to your device.

"I would start by..." means "if I were doing it, this is how I would do it" rather than "I am doing it by doing this." It is hypothetical.

I'm saying we have code for rockbox, but you'll have to write everything else yourself.
