@tcecyk, I want to test a GNU/Linux on my slotted ( broken but fonctionnal screen ) galaxy s4,
As you know, which method could be recommended or not recommended please ?
OT: @piero you want flash “normal” linux to a S4? if it’s the s4 mini (serranovelte) you can use this pmOS link . Mind the lk2nd instruction. The s4mini has prebuilt images so it will be as easy as flashing Android. But I didn’t understand “slotted”… you want to move this to another thread or pm?
Could I try ( maybe it is “serranoxxlte” compatible ) ?
checkout the pmOS devices page - the S4 jflte is there but its a snapdragon 600. It will use vendor-derived lineageos kernels (3.x). You’ll have no prebuilt images, but pmbootstrap is userfriendly.
The “fun” with normal linux is if you can run a mainline kernel and have modem/wifi capability. Checkout the SoC documentation on this which chipsets have good support already:
I think with 2G mem you’ll run into outofmemory situations… consider getting more ram. If determined and you have a fast ssd, you could try creating a large swapfile for building to avoid oomkill… disk requirement is high at 400G, see [HOWTO] How much space do I need to build for /e/?
