Iād 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 someā¦
And for those who may read this and feel like they wanna have a go at flashing with such old devices ā HAVE A GO, itās fun and rewarding. Personally Iād 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 ā 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 muchā¦
Thanks for this comment. I very much enjoy the usersā comments here. DidnĀ“t expect it. About your question: I wouldnĀ“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.

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?
