Samsung Galaxy Tab2 espressowifi (two models 7 & 10)

Hi,

For me Replicant 6 was laggy, and the first LOS 14 i have tested too,
the one i use was laggy at the firsts boots too (during the configuration), but after some reboots it works well for me !
( i haven’t tried his OverClocking kernel )

What does means « mm ROM » and « ua mm ROM » ?

Mm= marshmallow Android. U A = Unlegacy Android

I suppose to be clear: Unlegacy Android 6 marshmallow. Any of the 7/nougat ROMs were slow ( all I found) compared to the 6/ marshmallow ROMs I tested

Mm= marshmallow Android. U A = Unlegacy Android

I’am new with android and ROM manipulation, i bought a android device especially for /e/ in 2019 october, and i have quite never read or write in english before this forum

I understand. Good choice. /e/ is the rom you are using. I bought this espressowifi in 2012 new. In my search for a rom that works better and more secure than Android 4.4, the original over the air (ota) update, I found this one. Today I was going to see if I could build it myself but chimppimp beat me to being unsuccessful. Until now this thread didn’t exist.

I have bought my Galaxy Tab 2 last week for 15€, i had tried Replicant 6 (mm), but wifi and camera don’t works, and i tried LOS nougat to see if /e/ could work on it, but i don’t want gogol stuffs,

I still have the box I bought in a shop in 1999, with CDs for mandrake linux 8.0 or 8.1, I don’t remember, I only started using mandrake 9.2 on my PCs in 2001 and I gave up windows in 2003.
I installed a debian-linux on my old G4 apple laptop in 2013.

I used Nokia phones for a long time, with azerty keyboard after 2010, then a zte with firefoxOS after 2015, and finally an iPhone 5s after 2017.

Because I don’t like Macrosoft and Gogol,
Today I want to use /e/, I don’t have enough money for Librem…
and i like @GaelDuval’s work

Any word? @archje about any further attempt?

I will shsre the manifest by andi34 for cm14.1 that i used for the build that actuallly build something tomorrow when i m back at my laptop … :smiley:
Me myself i am nit sure what exactly is missing, i would have thought thst it is about the kernel but afteryour tests it seems it isn tnd i do not have enough knowledge to determine why it is not booting, all i know is trial and error :confused:
And about 3rd point, usually there are some warnings appearing but the process continues budings,ame for espresso but it were quite a lot, the new 0.8 does not give any logfile anymore and i won t be standing by the laptop to read them carefully, just to many of them… Also all in all the amount of processed files during build seems to be quite low with 33k files, normally i face at least 60k… But that could be nothing as well…

By the way i m building on old thinkpad x230 from 2013, which i rigged up a little :smiley:

Good deal. I had trouble w/ L 14 from the repo. Got the version I used from Andi in his filehost. 13 out of the repo went in fine and worked more quickly and smoothly.

Have a good night Chimpthepimp…

Luvsespresso,
The problem is as very often in my life, that the goal / desire we pursue don’t fit into the predetermined boxes.
Our request for Archje and I, is “border line”.
There is no “marshmallow” branch in the /e/ project, and there is no “expressowifi” device in the “nougat” branch of the LineageOS project.
We have to tinker to achieve a kind of quadrature of the circle.

Exactly why I waited to see if anyone else wanted the project. And why I want to share my very limited knowledge and experience with you people.
I want to thank @Chimpthepimp for the effort, time and consideration of our request.
Stop by, the espresso machine is up and running ( the tab and :coffee: maker got plenty of Hershey bars and cream too):grin:

@Luvsespresso, no, I did not make another attempt. In the past I have tried a few things and have come to terms with LOS 14.1. If @Chimpthepimp can’t find a solution - then I certainly can’t.

I want to concentrate more on testing the devices from Lineage Build roster, especially the LG family of devices.

@piero “quadrature of the circle” is this a reference to the old square peg in a round hole? Get a bigger hammer…it will go if you try. Been looking into it. So far all I can find is Unlegacy Android 7.1. doubt it will work. Project dropped there too. Very same reason. We might be asking for a miracle or writing our own.

so see here @piero the manifest for the build with all the sources, taken from andi34’s github.

</manifest>

I was thinking we have to copy all Andi’s sources, and modify some lines in some files or scripts to make them pointing /e/project…
And have to copy all /e/ sources, and modify some lines in some files or scripts to make them pointing Andi’s sources…
Or copy/paste some parts to include them any where else…

But I am certainly wrong cause I don’t know anything about building custom ROM image.

Depending on the sources, if there are no official lineage sources for the device, you normally insert them with these manifest.xml files into the build process but they have to fit the build process quite well otherwise there will be problems…

OK but to “make” one file, the process may have to take references to different sources in the right order, not only one source per type of reference.
Am I clear ?
there should exist others scripts and to succeed with have to edit somes.

did you build with or witout docker ?

any advise / idea from @support or others (@builder or @developer) ?

that is what the roomservice.xml is for.
i have not found other manifests for lineage 14.1 then the one from andi34…
i build with docker …

I see in the manifest he is using ua repos. Could it be as simple as change the Samsung stuff to ua repo too?
