I’d like to think, we are all winners, being able to use great FOSS at the little cost of our time, helping others if, when and where we can.
On a side note, as the Galaxy S2 is still up and running for some…
And for those who may read this and feel like they wanna have a go at flashing with such old devices — HAVE A GO, it’s fun and rewarding. Personally I’d say anything starting with the Galaxy S3 neo, can be daily drivers, within the limits of calling in 4/5G mobile networks and camera limitations.
Also, a bit of encouragement if you have Samsung devices in a drawer somewhere – they are resilient and very hard to brick. This is the one and only out of ~240 I have flashed:
Thats an encouraging and fun thread, thanks for that!
Is there a webpage where one could look up the statistics how many devices of each kind are running with version of e OS? I guess at least internally there should be, would be interesting to see as well.
Or even in comparison with other custom ROMs, or at least a comparison which custom ROMs are used how often.
I didnt find any, but doesnt have to mean much…
Thanks for this comment. I very much enjoy the users’ comments here. Didn´t expect it. About your question: I wouldn´t know of a source for that. What I know is that LineageOS is the most popular custom OS, and that Samsung devices are one of the most popular devices to use it on.

try the 3g version even on wifi only model)

i am proud to have found a simple way to use the PostmaketOS Community pre-build images on Samsung devices,
and even more : a smart way to easily switch between /e/OS and PostmarketOS
So, you have been able to upgrade to Android 7, whereas it normally would be upgradabe to version 4.
That increases the lifespan of this tablet. Does Android 7 run smoothly on the hardware? Can you get all the apps you wish to work on this one?
